Flashpoint s03e13 Episode Script

Fault Lines

We had a record number of high risk calls The past two years.
I know your team numbers Sru masmsmanship is 30% higher Than any other officers on the force to begin with.
And it takes five different fingers to form a fist; I'm not disputing that.
Parker: These guys chose each other! They've got each ether's back! There's gotta be a good reason To break up a team.
(heartbeat pulses) (pulsing speeds up, dramatic music plays) if you count all my mistakes I would have to walk away I just could not take another yesterday I've not the strength to fade away now if admit defeat tell me what then will that mean? will I cease to be? or will I be redeemed? Team members: (overlapping voices) Word up! Wordy: Eddie.
Spike: Big day.
Ed: You study hard? Spike: What's that thing called? Wordy: Yeah, yeah, the long metal thing.
Loud noeses? Gun! See? Why do we have to requalify? Hey, hey.

Yeah, go suit up.
And uh What's going on? Commander holleran wants to see you In the briefing room.
Okay.
I'll see you out there.
Parker: It's not what we talked about.
And if you knew it was going this way You could have told me before today, commander.
Ed: Coulda told you what? What's going on? We've got somebody else to do youteteam's Psychological evaluation this year.
Ed: What do you mean? The boss does the psych eval.
We need someone more objective.
Objective? Your team's had a lot of tough calls.
That's the job.
Twice as many traumatic calls as any other team.
We need to see if there any weak links, Stress fractures Excuse me? Parker: I'm gonna be in the room, eddie.
Right, commander? You'll observe.
(incredulous gasp) observe? Halloran: Donna sabine's gonna run your team Through tactical requalification.
I can drill my own team.
Holleran: She's gonna run you through the shoot house, Test your team skills, And then break you down individually.
Okay, what the hell's going on? Thank you, commander.
Come on.
You knew about this.
Just take it easy.
We've got nothing to worry about.
Donna: Okay, you got 90 seconds upon entry To clear the building.
Spike: Yeah.
Does that worry you, spike? Spending a little too much time in the truck? Spike: No, I mean 90 seconds I'm gonna have to bring a book or a magazine or something.
Others: (laugh) All right, you got any more surprises for us? Donna: Of course.
Did you think this was a pony ride? Let's do it.
Okay, five minutes.
Gear up, Figure out a tac plan.
Spike: (electronic beeps) guys, 90 seconds? Ed: Spike, that's what the cross-training's for.
The standard test's three minutes.
Sam: What's going on? Why is donna running this? Spike: Yeah, why do we got outsiders running the psych test? Ed: Yeah, it's a good question.
Jules: Do you know who's doing it? Parker time and place.

Ed: Okay, they're gonna be lookin' for two entry teams, We are gonna give them three.
They're gonna be glued to the doors, We're gonna take the windows.
So spike, wordy, black bravo two; Jules, sam, black bravo one.
Sam: We'll go in with hooks.
Ed: The boss and I'll take the back door.
We need you guys to clear and cover our entry.
Jules: Copy that.
Ed: And remember: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast All: Fast is lethal! (deliberate footsteps) Ed: Let's set the hooks.
Room by room and watch your blind spots! We'll link up second floor.
(hooks clank) Blocks on point, cover with rifles! (hook clanks) (alarm blares) sam, jules, let's go! (grenade explodes) bravo two, hard entry! More grenades! Hit 'em hard and sme e 'em out!

You mean yes.
(weapon fires rapidly) Spike: We're in! (weapon fires rapidly) Ed: Team one! He's shooting through the roof - (bullets bang) your floor! You're worried about my reputation.
There's got to be a good reason I know.
There's got to be a good reason to break up a team.
(weapons fire rapidly) Ed: Sam! Sam: No joy! Spike: I see him! I got him! Wordy, last target's yours! (bullets bang) Gun! Donna: Aw! Cut the sound! (alarm cuts out) Three seconds left.

Wordy: (yelps in victory) Parker: Good work, everyone! Team members: Yeah! Team one! Donna: I had you pinned.
Ed: For about two seconds! Well, an extra set of eyes on the roof, You would have seen the shooter.
It was a risky call to split the team in three.
(cell rings) Ed: You gotta do what you gotta do.
Sam: Good job, guys! Donna: (beeps phone on) hey.
Team: Good job, guys! That was awesome, you guys! Donna: Okay, yu g got it.

This was supposed to be a routine requalify.
Sam: Who's toth? Military psychologist.

The other one's for you, sergeant.

(needle scratches) Toth: Gun range scores, Your practice records.
Your marksmanship is declining.
Parker: Could we stick to the psych eval? Toth: That's what we're doing.
Wordy: I haven't had as much time to shoot.
Toth you've been putting in more time on the range.
Parker: Wordy's strength is entry.
He meets his marksmanship requirements.
A team is the Sum of its parts.
Yes, I know that, sergeant.

About work? Yeah, maybe.
Maybe? Look, it's nothing.
It's just It's shel, it's It's the girls.

But that's not really what concerns me.
You want to know what concerns me? Raise your arms again.
This job is the only thing I know how to do.
Raise your arms.

We need water, okay? We're gonna do a weight transfer! Spike.

Spike: Lou? (booming explosion) He thought that trying the weight transfer Would, uh, take us both down.
So, uh But you didn't think so? (needle scratches rapidly) You're not over it.

You lost a best friend too, right? Let me ask you this: You lose your best friend.
It's 3:00 in the afternoon, How do you spend the rest of your day? We debriefed.
After that.
That's personal.
How well you handle this job is personal.
I went home.
(chopping sounds) Michelina: Mikey! (speaking in italian) che successo? (crying) Mikey! Toth: You live with your mother? I live with my parents.
Pa! Michelina: (speaking italian - "leave it alone") Spike: I got it! I got it.

Look, how far apart? Okay, how long? Okay, no, sophie, of course I'm coming.
Okay.
Bye.
I love you.
Haloran: Ed? You heard that, right? My wife's in labour.
That's great, but I can't let yougogo.
I'm going to requalify later.
Without you being here, today's tests are meaningless.
That makes no sense.
Haloran: This is not about individual performance.
This is about the fabric of the team.
What are you saying? The team's configuration's being tested.
So we reschedule! Dr.
Toth has a limited window of availability.
Great.
Get somebody else! It can't beonone.
And if you don't requalify, I am not authorized to clear team one for duty.
She just started labour, right? About an hour ago.
Well, you'll be there in plenty of time.
We'll get you in and out, one hour.
I know this is askin' a lot.
Okay.
Haloran: Okay? Ed: One hour and I'm done.

Wordy: (grunts) Spike: (in pain) agh! Ah! Wordy! Wordy: Come on! Let's go, man! Wordy and spike: (grunting and panting) It'd like to pick up on the sensitive circumstances Of your departure From the special operations forces In afghanistan.
I fired the fatal shot during an incident of friendly fire.
I haven't made a secret of it.
I see sam's application into team one Was processed quickly.
He was fast-tracked, yes.
S.
R.
U.
Teams generally select their new members as a group.
I gather the decision in sam's case was more Top down? That's right.
How did the team respond to that? Sam had our full support.
Sam: Why don't you just tase his ass? Muscle spasm.
He'll pull the trigger.
So we go in hard tactical.
There's something I need you to do.
All right, see these stairs here? That's where we came in, right? I need you to make a reverse entry.
Go across this hallway.
These doors here? I need you to go through them.
Now be careful, because that is a big road.
I want you to cross it.
I want you to make an entry into this timmy's.
I'll have a double double.
Ed: Jules? Jules: Cream, no sugar.
Ed: Spike? Spike: No, I'm good.
And we responded with courtesy and professionalism.
Sam: Why did your father have to intervene personally To facilitate your entry? Ask my father.
Ask commander holleran.
It was between them.
It was general braddock who forced him here After leaving special ops under a cloud? Sam: There was no cloud, And I wasn't forced.
The strategic response unit: Connect, respect, protect; Talk before tactics.
A curious career choice for a military man.
Darren kovacs.
Ex-hockey player back from afghanistan Decides to protect the godwin coliseum From demolition single-handed.
This is something that we can work through.
You just have to You just have to trust that we can get through this, okay? Darren: I'm a good soldier.
I needed you to know that.
Oh, I know that.
Buddy, I You just gotta stay with me, okay? Please, stay with me.
See you on the other side.
(single gunshot) (body and gun thump on the ground) Sam: Why did you do that? He wasn't gonna shoot.
We could have stuck it out.
(gun clatters) huh?! You weren't gonna shoot, were you? He wasn't gonna shoot.
He wasn't gonna shoot! Toth: Did he say he was quitting? Yes, he did say he was quitting, But everybody has those days.
We showed that he was wrong and that he belonged.
We never doubted that.
Toth: Did you fight to keep him close for personal reasons? Say what you're saying, doc.
Wordy: (gasps and strains) (grunting with effort) (grunts loudly) Donna: Spike: (gasps and strains) (grunts loudly) Donna: (electronic beep) Yeah, those last ten seconds weren't mine! What're you talking about, spike? Nothing, ed.
Ed: Spike? Spike: Nothing.
What? Spike: Would it have killed ya, word? I was right there, three feet away.
Wordy: What do you mean? I helped you over.
Spike: Yeah, you thought about it a good long time first.
Wordy: It's individual scores.
I still helped you over the top of that climb.
First you give me this And then you think about helping me While we're on the clock.
Ed: Hey, come on.
Wordy: How'd I give you that? I didn't even touch you! Spike: (grimaces angrily) What the hell are you worried about anyway? You're gonna be fine.
(breathing hard, water splashes) Spike! It's true.
Csis wants you, everybody wants you.
You can pick up and leave whenever you want.
I got one place where I belong And that's here.
I don't have your choices.
I've got a family! Ed: Okay, look.
Nobody's going anywhere.
You okay? Yeah.
I don't think it's right they're making you stay.
All right, what's next.
Let's get through this.
Wordy: Sorry.
Spike: Yeah, whatever.
Toth: Have you ever witnessed any friction within the team? All families have friction.
Is this a family or a swat team? Critical incident 1077.
Knife call.
Two women, alleged infidelity.
Callaghan, 11:06: "boss, threat is low.
I can do this.
" Callaghan: "boss, the threat is low.
I can do this.
I see access.
" Braddock: "she want's the truth.
She's responding.
Give me a shot.
" It was a risk either way.
I had eyes in.
There was time to get in.
The knife was down.
Sam: And then the hostage escalated! Jules: Which she wouldn't have if we'd already gone in.
"11:09 a.
M.
Alpha one and two explosive entry Through black charlie three.
" Sam: I had a connection! She did not need to be subdued by force! Jules: "subject was lying prone on the floor, A knife wound to the chest.
" We know, jules, we were there.
"11:17: Subject in critical condition taken to hospital.
" We were there.
It was a tough call.
It was tough because We were making split-second decisions And there was no easy right or wrong.
And because in the midst of all this You and jules callaghan were involved.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
My personal notes on my team are confidential.
Technically, no.
They're not patients.
Yes, we were seeing each other.
Two weeks after that argument, callaghan was shot.
The two of you had been working together.
Where is he? Sam: (over radio) it's a decoy! Fall back! Fall back now! Take cover! (bullet impacts) Sam: Officer down! Officer down! (jules gasps for air) medic, come now! Jules has been hit! Stay with me, jules.
(jules gasps) Stay with me.
(gasping for air) She was shot by a sniper half a mile away.
That would have happened whether I was there or not.
How did it feel seeing her shot? Not great.
(tearful) I should have protected you.
(heart monitor beeps) Is that when you knew sam braddock And jules callaghan were romantically involved? When jules was ready to return the team, Their relationship was over.
Did you know the risk to the team? Yes, I knew the risk to the team.
That's why I broke it off.
Listen, I worked my ass off to earn a spot on team one, And I worked twice as hard to get it back.
Would you have continued the relationship secretly If you could? (sighs) Yes.
Toth: There's a reason that's against s.
R.
U.
Policy; It puts your teammates in danger.
Sam: But it makes no difference because it's over.
We're colleagues now, that is it.
The priority of life code - you're familiar with it? Yes, I'm familiar with it.
You rescue hostages first.
Jules and toth: Then officers, then subjects.
Would you break the priority of life code To save the life of sam braddock? (lie detector whirs) Jules: (sighs) Sam: How'd it go? Not good.
Me neither.
He gave me a hard time because of you.
Yeah.
They have us under a microscope Just in case we treat each other any different.
What's it gonna take, a chaperone? Jules: (stressed exhale) That's the thing, sam, it's not gonna go away.
Did you know about the relationship Before jules was shot? You knowingly put them in danger.
That relationship is over.
The mere mention of each ether's name Triggers stress reactions.
You know what? You read a lot into stress reactions.
Braddock and callaghan clearly still have feelings For each other.
Yes, of some kind.
Which they value, it seems, More than their own team's security.
They both have cause to be expelled from s.
R.
U.
, As do you For turning a blind eye.
You getting a kick out of this, aren't you, doc? I save lives, my way.
It's your way that seems to be the problem.

Humour's a defective way to deflect apprehension Or anxiety.
Very perceptive.

Eddie Please.
Please help me Pull the plug.
Okay, wordy.
No! Ed: Okay? I get it.
(velcro rips) I get it.
You know what, buddy? Every time Every time I look at a damn scope, I see a kid run across, I see a spray of blood, (panting) And you know what else, danny? (exhales) You know what else I see? All the calls we didn't get to in time.
You're not the only one who sees ghosts, danny.
(whimpers) And I gotta tell you, I don't know where to put 'em anymore either.
Eddie, please, no.
You taught me everything I know.
You made me who I am, danny.

Give me the gun.
Danny: (agonized moan) no! No.
Ed: It's gonna be okay.
(comforting pats) Parker: Where are you going with this one, doc? Ed saved danny's life.
When things get tough at work, where do you turn? I count on my team.
Where do you turn if it's something You can't share with the team? My family.
Family keeps you grounded.
You can't be the kind of cop you have to be If you're not grounded.
Your family knows you, warts and all; They're there for you.
But what gets you through the tough calls, ed? The lives you couldn't save, The people you had to kill, The guilt? My family.
So how are coping with them gone? How do you know that? Beside the point.
I work twelve hour shifts.
I train 14 hours a week on top of that So that I don't cost somebody a life, So I don't let my team down.
And you're saying what? That I am not a good enough cop Because I am not more of a family man, is that it? I don't care what kind of family man you are.
I care whether or not you can cope with the job, For your team's sake.
It's a question of balance.
Of balance?! You try telling that to a guy with a gun to his head, To a kid on a ledge.
What do you want me to say here? "sorry about your luck, I gotta get home for dinner?" Is that it? I get that.
That's good.
Now you tell holleran to stay out of my family life.
It's not commander holleran.
Greg? How did he know that sophie left me? How'd he know about that? I didn't trust myself to be objective, eddie, As a colleague or as a friend, For the sake of the team.
For the sake of the team? As a friend? Eddie.
Eddie, you tell me.
(velcro rips) You tell me.
You said it yourself.
What should I do when there's lives on the line? You know what? Gentlemen I got a baby I gotta meet.
Parker: Eddie.
(door rumbles up) Parker: Ed! Nothin' to say right now, boss.
I gotta go.
Jules: What's going on? (door clanks and rumbles shut) Donna: Okay, I'm done.
Not an easy process.
You could say that.
Donna: Holleran didn't bring him in.
I'm sure he was gonna tell you that.
We know it was the boss.
He was just doing what he thinks is best for the team.
Wordy: What are we supposed to do now? Holleran: You go home.
We'll let you know how this shakes out.
Parker: I needed an objective point of view.
I needed fresh eyes on my people.
I didn't need you to break 'em down.
Your instinct was right.
There are fault lines Running all through this team.
What you're call faults lines, that's them being human.
It's natural that you're feeling guilty And protective.
We had a record number of high risk calls The past two years.
I know your team's numbers.
S.
R.
U.
Marksmanship is 30 per cent higher Than any other officers on the force to begin with! And it takes five different fingers to form a fist.
I'm not disputing that.
These guys chose each other.
They've got each ether's back! You didn't bring in an outsider Because you're worried about them.
You brought an outsider in Because you're worried about you.
They need a sergeant.
Not a friend, not a father.
But you know that, right? Give me half an hour.
We'll meet with your commander, okay? it ain't kind and it ain't right (door opening, dishes clink) Michelina: Ooh.

(dominic coughs) someone made a sound and turned you right round I wasn't cold enough to care Wordy: Are you in here? brother I dared Hi, hon, how are ya? What you got there? and it calls your blood when the lie that keeps you warm (knock at the door) Coming! up in the clouds up in the clouds tell me, sister, are you cold at night?

Yeah, put her on right now.
