Shattered (2017) s01e03 Episode Script

Don't Wanna Die

Previously on the Shattered Gun! - Freeze! - Shoot! Ben, why'd you tell me to shoot? It wasn't me.
We're looking for a Dr.
Kuo.
We're detectives.
We'd like a word with him.
- You okay? - No.
Getting back together with you is so far from being on the table.
Can I see you later? Not tonight.
Hey, honey, I'm on my way.
- Who's Naomi? - No idea.
I'm Ben's wife.
I don't know a Ben.
H-harry.
- Harry has a wife? What, you couldn't find something less damaging to do? Roller derby, book club? You sure you're okay? Let me take a look at you.
You're going to need stitches.
I'm good.
You got your gun? Yup.
Good.
It was a hell of a party.
Did you have fun at least? "Lawrence Copeland.
" Yeah? Ring any bells? No.
Thanks for coming so fast.
I couldn't call my wife.
It's all right, saved me from hot yoga.
- Does this happen often? - Huh? - Does this happen often? - Come here often? - You're an idiot.
- Thank you.
Do you think all this blood is from you? Look, stay here, I got him.
Get off of me! Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay.
I just want to ask you a couple of questions.
What happened? I don't know, man, we were having fun, everything was cool.
You You flipped out, and I took a swing at you, okay? Anybody else get hurt? I just want to get my bag.
Who was that guy? Totally unrelated.
Do you know where your car is? I got a good idea.
Check around back! You okay? I have to pick up my wife from the airport Get an ETA on the ambulance.
Requesting a code three ambulance.
East Side hallway, we got a man down.
Severe puncture wound, unconscious.
I'm going to check for more.
Hang on.
Come on, come on So the security guard's name is Gita Singal.
He's been with the company for three years, no complaints, you know, model-type guy.
T.
C.
says the Feds are looking at any connection between this attack and those other bombings up the coast.
They want us to rule him out as a suspect.
So basically they want us to go in there, talk to the wife and ask if her dying husband is the una-bomber? Basically.
All right.
There's a bomb and suddenly the "Brown boy" is a suspect? In case you've forgotten, Gita is a victim, Detective.
I'm not pointing any fingers here.
I didn't say that he was a suspect.
You didn't have to.
To help me confidently say that Gita was not involved in this situation, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions.
Look, someone did this for a reason.
Whatever that reason may be, his presence there may help us understand that.
Did he have any enemies that you know of? He gets along with everyone.
He's not political at all.
He's a security guard to pay for his music studies.
Somebody help! He didn't make it.
Have you considered yoga? Mindfulness, healthy eating, stress reduction.
You should give it a go.
Your car, how do you want to deal with that? That's my problem.
It always does this.
- Want a donut? - Yeah? - Okay.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- They're messy.
- Yeah, I see that.
You weren't kidding.
How's your head? - After you.
- Sorry.
Gordon, hi.
I see you've met our detectives, Sullivan and Lynch? Yeah, elevator got stuck.
Got a donut though.
Great All these Feds are coming in because of the bomb signature? Killing innocent people, craziness.
How's Ella? She's fine, why? No, just, you know, "How's Ella?" that's all.
Well, she's fine.
Good.
Here, I'll give this to you in the short strokes.
All right.
Two days ago, some guy at the Environmental Agency there opens up a box, and boom, now this.
All right, you guys, cover it up! Would you stop gossiping already? We're waiting for you.
Yes, you're beautiful, Terry.
What did she say? She said I'm beautiful.
Beautiful.
All right, everybody, listen up.
Past targets include two different banks, a shipping company from the east coast, and a Shell Oil office.
Tangential relationships, no direct links yet made.
Sullivan.
I know.
Excuse me? Hi.
Dr.
Ryan Disilvio.
Psychiatric assessment and analysis for the unit.
I've put together a pretty comprehensive profile.
If you like, I can walk your guys through it.
Uh My behavioral science team has put together a statistically sound profile based on a proprietary algorithm.
You know, you can read about it if you like, Doc, But, hey, you're doing good work.
Really, good work.
But we are on a ticking clock here, folks.
By my estimation, we got about 43 hours before the next one goes off.
43? Did I miss something? Yeah, the lessons of 9/11.
This case has just been bumped from orange to red so we like to work from a worst-case scenario, anticipating contingencies.
Public safety is our only concern.
My guys will take the, uh, big-picture stuff off your hands.
And we'll take the secondary canvas, security video, victim statements, good? Good.
All right, let's go make an arrest.
Banner Where did you all go? To pick up security video from the businesses.
From the local area? Eddy? Do me a favor.
Uh Run a registration number for me.
868726, Lawrence Copeland.
Yeah.
Look, uh, send it to my email.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Banner's an ass.
You're good.
I've dealt with worse.
No, what Banner is single-minded.
Guy thinks he knows the answer, so he's only going to look at the facts that fit.
You think different? I do.
The feds are looking for a big conspiracy, but what if our guy is small scale? What if this is personal? What if he's waging his own private war, and we just haven't gained the necessary insight to understand it.
You think he's working alone? I do.
But everybody's got a family.
And our guy hasn't killed before today.
Maybe if we're lucky, someone will come forward once they realize that people are dying.
Thank you.
Look for someone who cares.
Right.
I got the footage from every security cam and ATM in a 10-block radius of the building that blew.
So we get to sift through all this try to find a nut-job in a haystack? Well, when some big corporation has its financial foot on the neck of the little guy, why is everyone so surprised when he fights back? So, you're justifying what this guy did? Am I getting that right? No, all I'm saying is, I understand.
Hey, bud, you're in my chair.
Oh, my jacket! Seriously? Seriously.
Can I get you a coffee or something, donut? Look, don't touch anything, okay? I have a system here, and I need you to respect that.
Thanks.
Any damage? Great.
No, I'll pick it up in an hour or so.
- Your car? - Yeah.
Where'd they find it? Alley off Hastings.
That's a nice part of town Whoa, what happened to you? You look like crap.
Hot yoga.
I'm in a program.
Look, maybe you should, uh, help them out with these.
I think there's 20 different formats.
- Really? - Yeah.
Hey, listen, I got a situation.
I gotta pick up my car from the impound lot.
I know.
It's a long story.
Look, I hate to ask you this, but I'm getting dogged with phone calls so I gotta.
I'm like a thousand bucks short on my kids' private school payments, and - You need money? - Yeah.
You got it.
Thanks.
Linda - Ella, it's good to see you.
- You too.
So, uh, what is this place? Uh, Victim Services.
I'm a counselor.
Kind of like a social worker.
Ah.
Well, considering where you and I came from, good for you.
Life's treating you well.
Yeah, I'm a fully licensed design consultant.
I sell pillow and chair coverings to the rich and not so famous.
Sorry I fell off the map.
No, you got married, and had a kid, and I read about what happened.
Big manhunt, a cop's son and all.
I was going to call you.
Oh, we'll find him.
- We will.
- Yeah Listen, Ella, are you sure about this? I mean, why dial back the clock when you've been clean so long? None of my business.
I gotta go, but, um Next time, we'll we'll talk, catch up.
Okay.
Why didn't Terry get stuck doing this with you? I mean, not sorry, not stuck.
You know what I mean.
Okay, weirdo on Nick Ducet's blog Listen to this "We have to ask the question, is Al-Qaeda here?" Jake103 I thought there was a media ban.
"I say we catch these guys.
Put 'em in a field and blow 'em up.
An eye for an eye " That's fear for you.
It's a magnet that skews the moral compass.
You into hot yoga, too? Yeah.
So what of it? Well, it's good that you're limber.
I can put my legs behind my head.
- You all right there? - Yeah.
"If these people feel so strongly about their cause, may I suggest they go back to their homeland.
" Beteebb102.
Terrible.
Is Ben all right? He doesn't look too good.
Yeah.
Why? Well, you're not exactly his lucky charm.
Hey, look, don't take this the wrong way, okay? I think you're cool, but ever since you two partnered up, it's been Well, you know, you're all up in it.
Does that look right to you? When have you ever seen a bike courier 6:30 in the morning? It's weird, right? Corporate camaras ran the service probably not a coincidence, so we got this from a surveillance camera across the street.
Courier companies have no record of any deliveries.
Our profile algorithm suggests white, over 40, University educated, and mentally unstable.
That's great work Any of your computer algorithms equipped to cross-reference actual real-live human beings? Disgruntled employees, say? 30,000 international employees between the companies targeted, but our geeks are running it.
Folks, this stuff is class a sensitive, so media ban is in effect.
Thank you very much.
- Whose baby carrots are these? - Mine.
- Can I? - Yeah.
Spiking a tree will make a logger think twice about picking up a chainsaw, But corporations aren't going to think twice about being corporations.
So what's he disrupting? It's a warning.
Rattle the cage, unsettle the employees.
So it's personal.
It affects him personally.
It's a principle or an ideology that somehow he Okay, we got a tip.
All manpower's been dep - You get those from the fridge? - Yeah.
Those are mine.
All manpower's been deployed, except for you, Lynch.
You can go see Hall.
Terry, we got a tip about the bomber Let's go, let's go You find a needle in a haystack, and they want two Hmm, "Corporations are the primary evil" Uh, "As population increases, the obvious outcome is more war.
" "WW3 is inevitable" These are more crazies from Nick Ducet's blog.
"Imagine he's just like you.
Someone with family.
" Except for the fact that he's killed a man.
Same blogger "No matter what he's done, he's a human being.
" A sympathizer.
The date of the postings are the same day as the bombings.
"His fight is for all of us, more than you know.
Actions speak louder than words.
" Whoever wrote that either knows the bomber, or is the bomber.
That's the second floor.
Stairs? All secured fire doors going down, and you can't go up without going through security doors, and electronic locks and stuff like that.
Thanks.
Nobody comes in! Nobody comes in! Hey, stop that guy! Somebody go around the back end.
Meth lab.
Wrong number, wrong guy.
Good bust, though.
Yeah.
This way.
C4 Has he used C4 in any other bombs? No, not yet.
Looks like he's stepping up his game.
Yeah.
Great.
To force him to give us access to his database, we'll need a warrant.
No.
There's not a chance we'll get it in time.
Hall, talk to Ducet Pucker up, maybe he'll play ball.
Can't promise to pucker up, but I'll work something out.
All right.
Lynch, Ben needs you on the search.
Garrett Look, I'm a journalist.
I'm inclined to protect my sources.
It's a blog, Nick, he or she is not considered a source.
Well, that's a matter of perspective, right? He or she is free to make comments, that's the whole point.
The whole entire paradigm of the internet is based on the notion of free speech.
Look, we can always get a subpoena, okay, and you keep that up, we'll add an obstruction charge, too.
- Oh - Oh, yes.
I don't know how much they're paying you, but legal fees, they do tend to add up pretty quickly.
Know what I'm saying? Not on my dime.
I work for a newspaper with a whole war room full of legal beagles.
You know what I'm saying? Ah All right.
- I'll give you an exclusive.
- All right.
It'll have to be bullet proof.
Our guys raided a storage Wait a minute.
I got this.
All right.
Oh, now I know they're not paying you.
Our guys raided a storage place today.
The bomber was there, but we missed him.
You can't use my name, Nick.
No.
Now, all you've gotta do is respond to the comment on your blog.
We can trace it from there.
It's that easy, huh? Hey, it wouldn't be fair if technology didn't work for our side, too.
Thank you.
Eddy said that registration you were looking for, the car belongs to a Lawrence Copeland, Aka "Spanky," And he is a pimp who works the hastings strip.
Wouldn't be a coincidence that your car was found abandoned in the same area? 'cause I know about that, too.
I'm not on a "Need to know" basis, Ben.
How you doing, detective You talk to me quickly, you talk to me.
It's Spanky.
You got him pissed off, man.
He's mad that he lent you his car.
Oh, you screwed up bad.
So, what, does the department know that you're out there, Moonlighting? I work undercover.
I'm a junkie, I'm not a moron! Spanky is saying something about some money that's missing.
Okay, shut up.
Shut your mouth.
I'll talk to my supervisor, And I'll get you out of here, okay, And you forget that you saw me, I forget that I saw you Yeah, what, you had to think about that? This is a list of the most vulnerable corporate locations.
Now, we're going to need as much manpower deployed as humanly possible.
We've got two ert teams equipped with bomb squad units already roving, and we're going to need way more than that.
You want to use our people to look for bombs? Find it, yeah, don't move it.
Oh, and, uh, let's use the term "Improvised explosive device," Okay? It kind of takes the edge off, You know? Takes the edge off What is this place anyway? They manufacture pipe for gas transport.
"Highly probable target.
" That's what Banner says.
Ben? It's probably nothing, but I stepped on something.
Okay, don't move.
Don't move.
- Ben? - It's nothing.
What is it - Nothing.
Nothing.
There's nothing there.
I think I should call someone No, it's okay.
There's nothing there.
What is it? Something.
It's been triggered.
Come here Evacuate the area.
We have a bomb, a tank of hydrazine.
Detonation one minute, 11 seconds.
Evacuate the area.
Can we do something? Hydrazine.
The whole block will go up.
We need a bomb disposal team in there now.
We've got less than a minute to evacuate everyone we can.
We need to run.
We need to run.
We need to run We need to run.
No, no, no.
Ben, we need to run.
There is no point.
No point At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go in the same box.
It's a bomb, it's a bomb! Bomb I don't wanna I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die Ben! Ben! Do something! Fix it! I need you to help me! Ben! Ben! I need you to help me, okay? I'm not afraid of my own mortality.
It's the act of dying I'm afraid of.
I've accepted my mortality.
I have.
I'm not afraid Ben, we need to get out of here.
It's the act of dying I'm afraid of It's the act of dying that I'm afraid of Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! They talk way too much.
Hey guys, catch this up.
Watch Watch the crackheads smashing the Benz, watch.
You've got to get out more No, no, wait for it, wait for it.
All right, I guess so.
Give me a break, man.
Let's see the guy on the left.
I busted that dude just last week! Don't you guys have something better to do? Where'd you get that? It was on your desk.
Don't take things off my desk.
What, you think that's funny? You're fine.
Hey, check it out, we tracked down Ducet's blogger, Teresa Napier.
She's agreed to come down first thing tomorrow morning.
Good work.
Uh, what did that cost? A little leakage, you know what I'm sayin'? Let's work on the interview strategy.
All right.
Where did Lynch go? Let's Let's start without her.
All right, the blogger that's coming in, Teresa Napier, she has a brother, Oliver.
Single, in his 40s, he was a chemistry major in college, and he's currently unemployed.
He has no significant relationships other than his sister.
Isolated, loner, fits Ryan's profile.
- Good work.
- All right.
I'm Amy Lynch, I'm Ben's partner.
Nice to meet you.
Thanks for meeting me.
Ben and I almost died tonight.
He saved my life, and a lot of others.
- So he's a hero? - Not really, no.
Since we've been partnered, his behavior's been inconsistent.
Unstable.
- Is he a good detective? - Yeah, he is.
But he's coming apart, literally.
I mean, he changes, his-his voice, the way he moves.
I'd swear he has multiple personalities.
So he should seek professional help and maybe ruin his career? Before something terrible happens, yeah.
If you don't feel safe with my husband, maybe you should transfer out of the unit? Okay The other night, Ben went for a joyride in someone else's car.
Watch it.
You're his wife.
He needs you to help him.
Do something.
Did you know that the pipeline company that just about blew up last night was awarded a contract for a deep water gas import facility yesterday? In English.
Thank you.
Massive tankers pull up, they unload thousands of tons of natural gas.
Five miles off-shore.
An environmental disaster just waiting to happen.
So, let me guess, the other targeted companies are involved, and the environmental agency rubber-stamped the permit.
Nice work.
Chicks dig it.
Want to talk about the surveillance tape? - What tape? - Thank you.
Remember back in '95, Greenpeace forced Shell to reverse a decision, a David and Goliath story.
Yeah, but they used the media.
I mean, nobody's claiming this, right? Maybe he's stoking the fire.
That bomb last night would have spread toxic gas through the entire west end.
Plenty of collateral damage and press.
Maybe the guy's a fisherman, huh? It completes the metaphor.
But David had a slingshot.
Look, you got resources, so why don't we start on ports and marinas? Okay, sure And, uh, did I not say "Media ban?" That your blogger? Yeah, Hall got her name from Ducet.
Let me guess.
Someone had to do a deal with the devil, right? Anything else? I need a favor.
One of my informants picked up on a drug bust.
I need him out on the street.
Where's the paperwork at? Hasn't been filed yet.
Yeah, I'll take care of it as a favor.
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
Okay.
Don't worry.
Um, what did you say You said had two kids, and your husband's out of the picture? I have a boy.
He's 10.
You're an environmentalist.
I respect our planet, yes.
We're really making a mess of it, aren't we? Well, sometimes, you've got to fight.
You know, it starts with the little guy taking responsibility, right? Yeah.
That's what you teach your kids, huh? Yes.
She's getting edgy, look at her.
She's moving around Yeah, but that's good.
You've got to get in there and you got to keep her down.
Come on, I was just venting.
Yeah, but if you know who did it, and you don't come forward, you're just as responsible.
You said you were close with your family.
You have a brother? Yes.
Um, tell me about him.
Does he also believe that actions speak louder than words? My brother is a very peaceful man.
I never said he wasn't.
I'm vibrating.
Yeah No.
No, I'm not.
No, that's not This brother, do we know anything about him at all, anything? He hasn't collected a paycheck in about three years and he's listed as a member of several environmental activist groups.
Right.
So, basically, nothing.
Oh, here we go.
You're going to take me downstairs, right? No, I was just waiting for my next interview.
Do you mind if I just wait in here with you? Thanks.
I'm Amy.
Teresa Here, you must be thirsty.
- I haven't touched it.
- Oh, thanks.
How'd it go with my partner, Ben? He can be kind of harsh.
I don't think I was very helpful.
Nick Ducet, the crime guy, he called the bomber a terrorist threat on his blog site, and I guess your partner there thought that I might know something, so That's because I wrote some stuff.
Yeah, I read it, too.
"Imagine he's just like you.
Someone with family?" Omission's also lying, Teresa.
That's risky.
She's gotta She's got to pull back there.
Look at her, look at her face.
Oliver, that's my brother, He's, um He's such aa sweet gentle soul.
He lives on his boat.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, the boat? There's a boat? He, loves nature - We got the boat? - No, wait.
- He's an environmentalist? - Oh yeah.
Capital "G" for green.
This is Gita and Arisha.
Arisha lost her husband because of the bomb.
And hundreds more could have died because of another bomb.
And you think it's my brother? Absolutely not possible.
Look, I trust him with my kids.
He's anything but dangerous.
But you're not sure, right? Because otherwise, why would you feel compelled to publicly defend a bomber? A social activist.
Some might call him a terrorist.
She's pushing a little hard here.
I'm, uh, I'm not under arrest, right? This is just an interview.
That's right.
It's just that it's about responsibility, Teresa.
I mean, if your boys were here right now, what would you want them to see you do? What kind of example is their uncle setting for them? Push.
He's my brother.
My little brother.
But if he's our man, and more people die.
His world changes.
Yours too.
You can't go back from that.
Can you live with that? You won't hurt him? That's what we're trying to avoid Oh, she's good.
She's got her.
But we need you to help us.
Look, we're going on a guess, so we're going to have to be prepared for anything, right? Right.
Understood.
Will you? All right, everybody, you know what to do.
Get those eyes on the roof.
All right, you guys head down the left side, I've got guys going down the right.
He's got a blue courier bag.
Okay, here comes the brother.
First, we got a positive ID? Yeah.
Okay, ETA ETA 30 seconds.
Yeah, okay, it's him.
Test, test? Good to go.
Okay, everybody assume he has a bomb in the bag.
You're doing the right thing.
Am I? How's the sister? I don't think we should send her in.
I mean, if he has a bomb, he's brought her here for a very specific reason.
It's unlikely he's going to do anything with the sister close by, right? We get him on the wire, we move in.
If that bag is full, the blast is going to harm innocent people.
You don't know my brother.
He'd never do this.
Teresa is moving in.
You don't know my brother All right, Terry, on your left Talk to that teacher, get the kids out of there ASAP Ben, where are you going? Keep your eyes on Sullivan.
What is she doing? Did you do anything, Oliver? They say you did something.
Let me see in your bag.
What are you doing? Okay, those are books in the bag.
Repeat, books in the bag.
There is no bomb in the bag.
I told you my brother wasn't the bomber! They got to you, didn't they? You didn't do anything, did you, Oliver? What they're doing, all of them, is wrong, And you know it! Oh, my God, it was you.
How could you know they were lying What's Ben doing? What is he doing? Lynch Get the sister out of there.
You should run now.
No Oliver He's walking away.
Hey Hey! Oliver! You wanna talk? Still want to talk? They drop me, and this goes off.
So you wanna save the world, huh? All right, why can't I hear? Come on, somebody give me something.
Didn't save his world.
No right way to do the wrong thing.
Do the right thing.
What's he saying? You should do the right thing.
Pussy.
Keep your eyes on Sullivan.
You were wrong to think they wouldn't sell you out You were wrong all along can't you see .
.
Yeah, no, don't worry about it.
I talked with Ben, and it's sorted.
Okay.
I'll drop by there and pick 'em up on the way home if you want.
What do you need? Yeah, the pink box with the white swirl.
Thanks.
No, no, I wasn't- I wasn't talking to you, I was just Yeah, okay.
I'll see you at home.
Typically when we're looking at blackouts, or loss of time, I try to rule out certain things first.
Okay.
- Addiction - Right.
- Dependency.
- Right.
Now, while I feel, from time to time, substances may be a factor for you, I don't see any signs of abuse, so I don't think you're an addict.
That's good.
I'm not.
But even recreational use can lead to lapses in judgment.
Watching pornography at work would certainly fall into that category, wouldn't you say? Yeah.
Who did that? You did that, Ben.
At the computer, in the middle of the bullpen? And the fact you don't remember is a cause for concern.
I-I don't- I don't remember You remember leaving with a hooker that night? Do you remember her name? Naomi? Naomi.
You left with her, And it looked like you knew her intimately.
Is she the reason why Ella left? I don't like where you're going with this.
Where am I going, Ben? I don't know where I'm going because you're not telling me anything.
Well, because it's none of your business.
I'm here to talk about me, I'm not here to talk about Ella.
But Ella's a big part of your life, Ben, And we have to look at it.
That's why I brought it up I'm not going to talk about it.
You were right when you said Go back for them You were right all along Hear me You were wrong to think they wouldn't sell you out You were wrong all along can't you see
