The Listener s02e01 Episode Script

My mom would say everybody's got their own gift; she never did tell me how I got mine.
That's okay, it's not important anymore.
What matters now is I accept what I've been given.
I used to wonder where my gift would take me.
Now I realize it's up to me.
Can't a guy have fun? Anybody else want to make a bet? You got to bet on it, $10, all right man, in the grassy shirt.
Anybody else want to place a bet? You there sir, what's your name? Okay, who else? I'll take that.
You? Keep your money kid; I'm doing you a favor, trust me.
Sacrifice the knight and I can save my queen.
Five to one; he's got to win all four games; I don't see him doing it do you? There you go.
It's simple, in ten moves, guard the king how can I forget rule #1, six and beat six.
What happened to my plan? One more time.
Good game.
Thank you.
I don't think he can win one more game; I don't think he can win one more game.
There it is; he did it; that's four for four.
All right let's wrap this up.
Who has money on this; thank you, thank you very much.
Can you teach me how to play like that? No, but I can teach you how to play.
Deal, next Wednesday.
Deal, same time.
All right.
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen; be good, stay in school.
Hold on man; that was intense man, huh.
It was a little crazy right.
What are you going to do with your hit? Mind putting that in that for me? Thank you.
I'm going to head out of here.
Are you serious? Yeah.
You want to make me feel bad now? Great, good stuff.
I love donating.
I love it, it's fun.
All right.
Thank you.
I got nothing; sorry man.
We were at $250 each.
The point of this whole venture is to use your ability to make a fortune.
You're not thinking long-term.
You could be a legend; a con man for the ages.
Not my style.
So what; you're like a telepathic Robin Hood? Stealing from the unjustly rich, giving to the unfairly poor? So I take a wee fall into the unfairly poor category.
Is that right Little John? Have you looked at your paycheck lately? University 2-1 distress call, female, unknown age found unconscious and pulled from the lake.
University 2-1 we're on it.
Hey, hey, she's over here.
Rule number one; what's rule number one? Don't run.
Exactly, we run, we trip, we fall, we might get hurt.
We get hurt what good are we.
We're no good.
Exactly.
Now ladies and gentlemen can I have you all clear out of the way please and give us a little space? I pulled her out from the lake; I'm not sure how long she's been there.
Okay thank you.
Can you come over her please.
Ma'am can you hear me? Ma'am? A little space, there you go, come on over.
It's okay.
I got a breath guys; go get the blankets and stretcher.
Okay.
Hey Oz, hey Oz, come here.
Where is she going? No, no, no, we're going to help you, relax.
You're okay.
I got you.
So before long you know Toby and I managed to grab her before she could dive back in and the kicker is that she's amnesic so you understand if we don't chase after her, then you know what can happen in that situation.
Mr.
Bay you broke rule #1.
Well you know under the circumstances as I was telling You ran after this woman and you do not run! Excuse me.
Oh the lovely Dr.
F.
Pick me, please.
Can I go Mr.
Ryder.
I'll uh, I'll finish this up later, thank you.
Thank you.
Not a problem.
My office in five minutes! Oh my god.
So what's going on Liv? It's about that amnesia victim you brought in.
I was thinking we could take a look insidehelp her dig some stuff up.
Yeah, but Liv, you know she's got amnesia.
Yes but the full memories are still there somewhere and I'm thinking if you feed a detail or two back to her it might job something.
It's a lot of work.
Aren't you the least bit curious? Come on.
Look Liv, I don't see how I can read thoughts she doesn't have.
Sir, I can explain.
The woman was clearly in distress and Sit down.
Okay.
That's not what I want to talk to you about; at least not right now.
Oh.
Okay, what did you want to talk to me about? You went out on a call a couple of months ago, campus pub, lady had irregular heartbeats Yeah sure, I remember.
Is there something wrong? That depends on your point of view.
Personally I'm a little shocked.
Seems that you are to receive a commendation for your actions in the field.
A commendation? Yes.
Well sir I'm, I'm speechless.
I'm speechless too Mr.
Bay, but don't stay that way.
Ceremony's a week from Sunday and you're gonna need a speech.
Huh, okay.
All right, thank you.
Great.
I am full of joy for you.
Hi, we've got decent clothes.
They're not haut couture but they'll do for now.
Thank you.
And let's get you settled in over here.
Here let me help you with that.
Oh thanks.
And I thought you should meet one of the paramedics that saved your life.
Hey.
Hey.
So it's Ann is it? Oh, that's what she calls me.
After Anastasia, the lost daughter of the Romanov's.
Of course, yes.
So any breakthroughs? Oh no.
I've been trying.
Manicured nails, likely not a maid.
And you were wearing a power suit, a kind of businesswoman I bet.
I doubt you are married.
Cause there's no tan line on your ring finger.
Do you remember when Toby was helping you? I remember him trying.
Yeah where were you running anyway; where were you going to go? I don't know.
Doesn't make any sense, any of it.
You were upset; something had disturbed you.
What the hell are you doing; stop! When we found you on the beach you mumbled something about a man and a boat.
Maybe oh no it's like there's something there but it's just out of reach.
It's so frustrating.
Well maybe we better let Ann rest.
That was a strange read.
Everything was murky, there was a pulse of light, she's so.
Thank you but there was something there right? Yes there was; traces of it anywaywhatever it was it just felt wrong.
So now you do want to know what's up.
Yeah, I do; I'm a little bit curious.
Dr.
Fawcett? Shane Lawson; you called for a neuro consult? Toby Logan.
A consult, yeah I did do that, didn't I.
Right, right I'm sorry, she's right over she's right over here.
She was found this morning unconscious.
Looks like someone's in love.
Lust.
It's lust.
Are you okay with that? Yeah I'm fine with that; Liv and I broke up forever ago.
Okay, just checking.
How are you; are you good? Still divorced.
S'cool.
Okay haemostatic gauze Talk to that amnesic? Uh, yeah, her memory's gone, she doesn't know who she is.
Wound closure kit It's like she sees bits and pieces; this massive void.
Sounds like me the Monday after Lalapalooza.
Oral rehydration salts There we go.
Tell me you're not getting involved.
I am not getting involved.
I mean you can't help but feel for her but I'm not getting involved.
Who is it that if you go down this road again I should stop them? What road? The "I sense someone is in danger, let me try to help and now I'm in world of hurt" road.
It's not that kind of thing.
Toby I know you've been through a lot, feeling guilty about losing Charlie and the disappearance of your mom, but do you really want to do this again? Oz, I appreciate what you're doing, protecting me.
You don't have to save everybody Toby.
It's hard enough trying to save yourself.
I'm not trying to save everybody.
I don't understand, a high-powered woman just drops off the face of the earth and nobody's looking for her? It doesn't make any sense.
Well I thought that if you could push a little harder, to jog her memories.
Because if she was attacked, I mean they're still out there somewhere.
I just have to be careful to not plant any ideas in her head.
Deal.
Deal.
Okay, to deals.
Thanks Brian.
I hope this isn't a private party.
Yes, it is, but you're on the list.
Great.
So what's the word on Ann? No hematoma, no sign of brain swelling, ran EEG, C scan, MRI.
Given the results on the baseline, CBC, CR, LFT, ING serum.
Sorry, are we here to talk about good news or bad news? Oh it's good, good.
It just means that there's no damage to the brain itself, which means here memory loss is temporary.
That is good.
So what's the treatment.
Time.
Just wait it out.
Sorry guys I got to take this.
Sure.
Toby, right? Yeah, Sean? Shane.
Shane.
Good to see you again.
I hope this isn't too sensitive a subject word is you We broke up.
So you don't mind if I I screwed up.
Yeah.
Well Hey should we invite him to the poker game on Wednesday night Have a good night boys.
No room at the table.
Yeah.
Wait a second; you're not jealous are you? Him, come on.
He is in really good shape though.
Like distractingly good shape.
Well I've been working it out.
Did you see the paper? Yeah, I saw it; I'm on my way to the hospital right now.
Martin you were supposed to get rid of her.
Now she's in the paper.
I told you this was going to happen the minute she started asking too many questions.
What do you want me to say; you were right? I'm going to find her and finish it.
Excuse me sir, can I help you with something.
Just got a little turned around that's all.
Hey you remember that campus intubation? No.
Oh, right you were off then.
Okay well Ryder he paired me up with this hot shot, the rookie, Watanabi.
Oh Watanabi he's good man.
Well the commendation is for the intubation.
All right, that's good; good for you.
I mean it'd be good if I earned it, you know, but Watanabi did the intubation.
He's not qualified.
No he's not qualified.
I swear to god I turn my back to two seconds and he's got the tube down this woman's throat.
So on the call sheet we wrote that I did it.
All right so maybe if he hadn't acted so quickly maybe the outcome would have been different; maybe you guys did the right thing.
You know what; it's okay.
Whoa, who's that; is that Ann? What's she doing out here? Hey, hey Ann? Hey, hey.
What are you doing? They did not discharge you? Where are you going? I have this terrible feeling and I have to get away.
Ann, there you are.
We were worried.
Dr.
Lawson wants to run some additional test.
I'll take her.
Here I got her, don' worry about it.
Come here.
Thank you.
Liv? Yeah? I think you got to keep an eye on her.
We will.
No, I think someone tried to kill her.
You need to get her security.
We will, I promise.
Looks like she cleared out.
So where did she go? Toronto Island Ferry schedule? I doubt she went sightseeing.
Nathan? Come back later.
Okay sir.
Let's go.
I've got a guard at the hospital.
I feel like I'm in danger.
I don't know why.
I'm sorry Toby, I don't know f f this is going to work.
I appreciate what you're doing.
I'm a social worker on wheels.
Well let's see; I remember seagulls.
Okay, seagulls at a beach, that's good.
That horn.
Try to remember that night.
It's like I can see something pulsing.
Like a lighthouse.
There's a lighthouse on the island.
Really? Let's go check out the island.
Okay.
I don't remembera thousand people ride this boat every day.
My number: if he's here again; you get the other half.
Do you want this back? You hold on to it.
You know it's very hard to get an appointment with you.
Well I'm sorry about that; I'm a very busy man.
I don't usually deal with IT.
You probably don't even know my name.
It's Roman, Roman Prisblanski.
Well Roman, you're message said it was something urgent you wanted to discuss with me.
This.
What does that have to do with us? It's an environmental assessment; it's not very flattering toward Northern Superior Mining though is it? Yet when the report went public it was simply glowing.
It was as if it had been altered or something.
Where did you get this? You remember you dead scientist, Steven Murchin? On his hard drive.
You were sent to scrub that.
And I did but I believe in insurance, so I made a backup.
What do you want? Instructions are all there.
Money goes into an offshore account; a dime less or a day late and that report gets leaked on the web.
Your lady lawyer was very interested.
I don't think she's on your team is she? How much longer? Hey lady you know you're color coordinating the sugars again right? Well it's not like Barista Barbie is going to do it.
Dev? Yes.
Can't you speed it up? I'm going through three days of footage here; it's not going to be instant.
Okay, here, here it is.
I got her.
Hey, you guys want to wait up? Turn around for two seconds and put a ticket We're about to miss the ferry.
I'm sorry.
Yeah? Bring the other half of that bill and some tape.
Your gal just just showed.
Let's go.
Is any of this coming back to you? Uh, no.
Maybe; I don't know.
Why would I have come here? Fishing? They have fishing here.
Of course they're not big fish.
Also you don't want to eat anything you caught in that lake, I'll tell you that much.
So you get off the ferry and where do you go? I don't know.
Let's start at the café.
Okay.
Yeah? I couldn't get her at the hospital and now she's got these guys with her.
I need you back here; we have a problem.
Hey, umcan I have the borscht please.
Yeah that's it.
I'm gonna get the borscht.
Sure.
Does any of this feel familiar? No.
Yeah I know the feeling, nothing's coming to me either.
Stupid speech.
You gave a speech? I have to write one.
He's being humble; he won an award that he doesn't want.
That doesn't make any sense.
You get used to it.
You keep saying this gets so easyyou know, you're going to have no How am I supposed to trust you? You're lying to me just like they did.
You do this I can't protect you.
I, I, I have to go.
Ann? Please, I have to get away from here.
I'm sorry about back there; I suddenly got so scared.
I don't know what's going on; I don't know if somebody did something to me or what if I did something awful? Hey Do you recognize this girl here on the bike? No problem.
You people had my husband killed; leave me alone okay.
Oh my god! Sgt.
McCluskey, IIB.
And Kim Kendal I'm going to have to ask you to come with me.
I'm just Sorry who are you? You're wanted for questioning in connection with the death of Steve Murchin.
What's going on here? Look there's someone on that ferry over there that we should go speak to.
Okay you know what; have it your way.
Bring them all in.
No, for what? Come on, are you serious? I'm going all right.
Apparently her memory is coming back in bits and pieces.
Well that's not going to help you build a case is it? So you're saying we don't go to the crown prosecutor? Not until you can prove that either she and-or Northern Superior Mining were involved in Murchin's death.
Are you speaking as in-house counsel or as her friend.
Both.
What's up with those two out there? Paramedics; Dev checked them out.
They're legit.
You two are free to go.
I'm worried about Ann.
Miss Kendal is still under investigation.
Stay here.
Sgt.
McCluskey do you mind if I speak to you for a moment? Sure, one minute.
UmOn the island Miss Kendal she was reacting to things.
At one point she freaked out.
You see she sorry.
There was a woman on the island and I think that this woman knows something or she's involved.
What? Does this guy think she's innocent? So IIB huh? What's that like international imagination buddies? Integrated investigative bureau.
Oh yeah.
It's right it's right there.
The Mounties? Yeah some of us; some provincial, some local.
We all get together and nab the bad guys.
Right, like a police all-star team.
Here is my card.
Give me a call if you have any more amazing insights.
Okay, go now, bye, bye.
I'll show myself out, thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey Oz, come here.
Excuse me.
What's the deal batman, do you got anything? I'm going to be a couple of hours; you got to cover for me.
Huh? Oh, you got that look of quiet determination.
You know what to do Robin.
Yeah right , sure it's worked out so well in the past.
You're late.
The transaction's been made.
Not that I don't trust you but let's see if there's been any recent activity in my account.
Well, well, you are a man of your word.
Drive.
There you go.
Nice doing business with you.
You son of a I didn't even know my own name till you called it out to me.
It's called selective memory; were trying to refresh it.
Do you recognize him? No.
I don't think so.
Steven Murchin, an environmental scientist.
He did work for your company.
Four weeks ago he died in a car accident.
I'm sorry Yeah, it was terrible.
He left behind a wife and three kids.
When the lab examined Steven's vehicle they found that his brakes had been tampered with.
When we questioned his co-workers we found out that he was working on a report about the toxicity levels from the runoff of one of Northern's mines.
If this was supposed to help me get my memory back it's a colossal failure.
Well that's okay; I'm a lot more patient than I let on.
Oh Hello, hi ma'am, I'm a paramedic.
My name's Toby Logan.
I was just hoping that maybe we could have a word.
Is someone hurt? Actually yeah, that's why I'm here.
I think you might be able to help me.
It's about a woman named Lynn Kendal.
Lynn? And what does this have to do with me? Well Ms.
Kendal's having difficult remember certain things about her past so I was just hoping that maybe you knew something about how we could locate her family.
And you say she mentioned me specifically? Yes, she said that you met her at a café and that you were very upset with her.
How did he find me? No one knows I'm here.
Look did they send you here? They? No, no, it's just me.
After she met with you Lynn was attacked and she nearly drowned.
The police aren't ruling out attempted murder.
You wouldn't know anything about that would you? How dare you accuse me! They killed my husband.
They threatened me and my kids.
How could you say that to me; how could you say that to me? Okay.
Let me take you back.
Alberta is contaminated by the from a Northern Superior mine; lawsuit disappears.
insider trading by senior company brass are raised and mysteriously go away.
I'm supposed to know about all this? CEO, his son was involved in a hit and run, charges were dropped.
So what do all of these cases have in common? Okay even if I worked for this Northern Superior, what is this; guilt by association? Now the lawyer emerges you know what a corporate fixer is, right Lynn? Yeah, that's the nice term.
I don't, I don't believe any of this.
Well this is who you are and believe me the deeper we dig the worse it gets.
Now this is where it gets interesting.
How do you explain this? Roman Prisblanski, he was in the IT department of Northern Superior.
I have never even heard the name.
Well he was found dead today; the bodies are beginning to pile up.
Look, I might not know who I am but I am not the monster you think.
Yes, she came to the island.
I was furious because I thought she was going to offer me some deal but And did she? No.
She said she wanted my help to prove that Northern Superior Mining was behind my husband's death.
How was she going to prove that? She said she wanted to go through Steve's computer to find some report that he'd been writing.
And this guy, this guy Roman showed up two days after Steve died and he said he was from the company and he said that they wanted take possession of his computer.
Oh, I was so stupid! I should have listened to Lynn.
Sarah, you have to go to the police.
If you don't Lynn will be charged for your husband's murder.
He was just a scientist doing his job.
Why were you going to Toronto Island? I don't even remember being there.
Oh my god! Yeah, that's you getting on the ferry two days ago.
Starting to come back.
Who were you looking for? Who is that? You tell me.
That's uh that's the man who tried to kill me.
The client is pressing me to charge her or cut her loose.
Who is this guy? Either this surveillance is too grainy for the computer or this guy just doesn't have a criminal record.
This is crazy.
This would be so much easier if someone would just get their memory back.
Yeah? Okay, send them up.
It's about to get crazier.
What; crazier? This must be the woman you were telling me about.
Hello Mrs.
Murchin.
Have we met? No, not personally.
You've been a very difficult woman to reach.
Why don't you have a seat in our conference room.
Dev will show you the room.
Right this way.
I don't know what you're up to but you and I need to have a little chat, so stick around.
Look forward to it.
That's Steve Murchin's wife.
She's going to tell them that you were going to expose the company.
That's a really good thing.
I don't know Toby; I was told about all these things that I've done.
You went out there to tell Sarah the truth about her husband's death.
You went out there to take down your employer.
You put yourself in danger and they tried to kill you.
You were a whistle-blower.
Lynn come on I thought we were in this together.
You know what this does to me; I will not be a party to this.
I can't protect you I might be the only one who could stop them.
I didn't pressure her; she volunteered.
The woman's barely got a grasp on her own memories.
She remembers enough.
What are you proposing.
She calls Gerry, sets up a meeting.
Wears a wire, records her boss.
Yeah and if the thing goes south we'll be right there.
We'll be right there, yeah.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
Hi, can you hear me guys, am I transmitting? Check.
Copy that loud and clear.
Okay we're up.
Hey Michelle I don't know what this guys doing here; you got a bogey game at 1:00 o'clock.
Who the hell is this guy? What the hell do you think you're doing here? Keeping an eye on Lynn.
You're going to blow this whole operation.
Don't worry; I'm not going to do anything stupid.
Yeah I hope not.
Michelle, there's our guy! Yeah, that's Gerry Morrow.
Okay guys, we're on.
It's good to see you Lynn.
You too Gerry.
You sounded surprised when I called.
Did I? Yeah, bit like you'd heard the voice of a ghost.
Do it and keep moving.
Something's wrong? What are you talking about? Steve Murchin had a wife Gerry, three kids and you had him killed.
You just don't get it.
I think this conversation's over.
No second chances this time.
Check out the jogger.
That's our guy.
Dev that's the guy from the ferry.
All units take down the jogger.
Come on, give me those hands, give me those.
How did you know he was carrying a needle and not a gun? I'm going to be needing a statement.
I'll drop by.
He connected that jogger with the Toronto Island jogger.
How? He knew where to find Sarah.
How? Yeah, I don't know Dev, but I plan to get some answers.
Mr.
Bay? You write this? Yeah, it's a little over the right? All that stuff about team versus any single one of us? It's not half bad.
Really? Well punctuation was atrocious but you got the heart of a poet.
Thank you sir.
Yeah.
You know if you ask me it's an honor that's long overdue.
Oh I wouldn't say that.
Really? Mr.
Bay you have to learn how to take a compliment.
Yeah, among other things.
Look, when you're up on that stage and all those people are applauding, you got to be humble, but you got to know that you earned it, and you did it.
I'm proud of you.
Ah, sir? Can I have my partner from that call come up on stage with me? Watanabe? Watananabi sir.
Yeah, he'd feel better about it.
Even though he was the junior paramedic on the scene? I couldn't have done it without him.
Really? Okay well, I'll make it happen.
Thank you sir.
Oh and Mr.
Bay, clean up the damn truck; it's filthy.
Good talk.
How'd it go up there? Oh good.
Guess they got more than they expected from Gerry.
I spent ten years of my life building that company up and today I helped tear it down.
Good for you.
It's scary.
So what are you going to do next? Calgaryapparently I have a life there.
I'm jealous.
What? Well I'm just remember the fact that the first moment I met you I bolted in the opposite direction.
Right, I mean you were going to jump in the lake Well I think you're headed in the right direction now, that's good.
Thank you Toby.
You're welcome.
Good luck.
You too.
Dr.
Lawson was right; Lynn's memory loss turned out to be temporary.
Come on, what about us; we were the ones who rescued her, Toby jogged her memory.
Thank you.
Credit where credit is due my friend.
Thank you.
Where it is, Lynn's got a man waiting for her in Calgary.
She's got a man, that's good.
It's kind of weird though; what does she do, just gets off the plane in Calgary and waits for the first guy to kiss her? All I know is a couple of months ago you sir would never have gotten involved.
People change.
Feels good.
Charlie would have been proud.
Charlie.
She was pretty amazing.
Speaking of hot cops Don't go there.
Don't go there? Yeah.
Who? Ahh Forget it.
Oh I've forgotten about it.
You brought it up.
No you brought it up.
I didn't bring up anythingI didn't Just trying to back out of it
