Rogue (2013) s04e08 Episode Script

ETHAN: Previously on Rogue MAN: This micro-chip belongs to my employer.
It's currently in the possession of Detective Annou.
The chip and the warehouse, they're connected.
How do you know that? Because the same guy that killed Oaks is the same guy that asked me to get the chip back.
CLEA: I tried to have the chip analyzed.
It's classified.
As in national security.
Whoever is doing this, they have pull.
And, what can Kelly do? He's got an in with the detective, he can get the chip back with minimal fuss.
Ooh.
That shot really hit me.
(EXHALES SHARPLY) You and me, Ethan, we're scorpions.
We sting, and we are better off for it.
There you go.
(GUNFIRE) Give me the chip.
Get out of here.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING) (CAR ALARM BLARING IN DISTANCE) (SIGHS) (QUIETLY) Motherfucker.
(GRUNTS) (EXHALES SHARPLY) (GRUNTS) (PANTS) (GROANS) (EXHALES) (TAKES DEEP BREATH) (DOOR RATTLING) Open the door, Kelly! (POUNDS) Kelly! Open the fucking door! (INDISTINCT TALKING) Honey, why is your shoe up here? Alice.
Take them inside.
Okay? You can just throw it over there for now, but you got to keep them in the house.
Be right back.
Hey.
Hey.
Is everything okay? What are you doing here, Ethan? I don't know, I was just, um You remember the swing set that Ray bought? I think he saw it on some late-night infomercial or something.
The next day we were at Home Depot before it even opened.
It's early, Ethan.
God, he hated instructions, didn't he? (LAUGHS) He fucking hated 'em.
Wouldn't even look at 'em.
And then Spud came over, of course, and he had to put in his two cents.
That was a fucking disaster.
Yeah, five hours later, my three geniuses No, it was four.
Cheat was there, too, remember? I remember.
Looked like the Leaning Tower of Pisa by the time you guys were finished with it.
You know what my favorite part was? Spud got on the swing and it busted off and he fell right on his ass.
Well, it didn't help that you guys were shitfaced.
We were a little drunk, yes.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) Ray loved being a father.
We're fine, Ethan.
I know.
I know you are.
You don't have to keep checking up on us.
Maybe I like it.
Ray made the decisions Ray made.
Donna, you don't have to say No, I want to.
I was angry for a long time.
And you coming back made me realize how angry I was.
And I hate to admit it, but maybe Seeing you helped.
The girls like you being around.
And me, I just Just got to get used to the idea.
I gotta go to work.
(CLEA EXHALES SHARPLY) Who the fuck are you? My name's Aaron.
Where the fuck is Kelly? He asked me to make sure you're okay.
(SHOUTS) Do I fucking look okay to you? Where the fuck is he? You fucking drugged me! I'm sorry, but I can explain.
Okay? Where's my gun? Where's my gun? Go ahead.
(COCKS GUN) My phone.
- You can go, Aaron.
- He's not going anywhere.
Clea, he had nothing to do with this.
It's all me.
Look at me, hey If you wanna arrest me, I'm not gonna resist.
But let him go.
Get the fuck outta here.
You're under arrest for assaulting a police officer.
You have the right to remain silent.
- Anything you say will be - ETHAN: It's in my pocket.
The chip in your watch is in the pocket.
Take a look.
Clea, I had to borrow the chip.
And I knew you wouldn't agree.
So you fucking drug me? No harm came to you.
Nobody hurt you.
- I'm calling for backup.
- Okay.
Look, hey Just give me a minute.
Let me talk to you for just a minute, okay? I had to use the chip to raise some money.
- You understand? - How? You know what? Don't even fucking answer that.
You're shady as fuck, Kelly.
Some friends of mine were in trouble.
It's over.
Hey, it's It's done.
Clea, I didn't have to come back.
I could've disappeared.
With the chip.
And then you really would have been fucked.
Because they would have come after you.
And I'm supposed to be fucking grateful? Just listen to me, please.
What was the name of the girl at the overdose? - What was her name? - Maria Alvarado.
Did you ever find out who killed her? What about the little girl that they put a fucking chip in her head? - What old was she, 12? - Thirteen.
You think she's dead? Hmm? Maybe she's still out there.
Don't you want a chance at finding her, Clea? Do you? If you think by arresting me, that it's gonna help you Go ahead.
Whoever these people are, Clea, they gave Oaks a blank check to do whatever the fuck he wanted to do.
He killed a good friend of mine.
If you think that I don't wanna bring them to justice just like you, you're wrong.
Thank you.
The first thing we need to do is we need to figure out who these people are.
And how do we do that? We give them back the chip.
What, you're serious? Think about it, Clea.
You can't use it in court, you've broken the chain of evidence.
You can't get it analyzed.
It's a dead end.
So we put the chip back in play and we see where it leads us.
All right, so you give it back to them, they kill you, and then what? Well, then you don't have to arrest me, and they just saved you a ton of paperwork.
REGAN: You want to do what? I'm going to give them the chip, and I'm gonna follow it up the food chain.
And that's guaranteed to work? Okay, look.
We don't have a ton of options right now.
Here's an option.
Take it to Sleader.
Level with him.
No.
For all we know, he could be in on it.
He's the one that brought Oaks in to begin with.
Oh, Jesus.
All right.
What do you want from me? (CELL PHONE RINGING) Kelly fucking double-crossed us.
What? Wait, what happened? The motherfucker drugged me.
He took the chip.
It's gone.
- Did you call it in? - I can't.
I never checked it into evidence.
I'm fucked.
Jesus, Annou, I warned you.
I I'm at work.
Can you meet me? I'm on my way.
(CHUCKLES) Well, shit, I'm sold.
- Kelly has the chip.
- Are you're sure? The detective.
She called her ADA friend in a panic.
We picked it up.
Whatever factory made Ethan Kelly, I hope they make many more of him.
You.
You wanna apologize now or later? (CHUCKLES) I will make the call.
It's Theresa.
Kelly has the chip.
Let's pick it up.
And then Annie walks in and, "Mommy, whoa" So much for morning romance.
I had to knock one out in the shower.
Highlight of my day.
Hey, you're not feeling sick, are you? 'Cause I'm three days away from a week in Cancun.
Look at this.
Genus Corp just switched to linear regression accounting.
Ah, it's about time.
I guess they got tired of their yearly audit.
Yeah, but I loved their catering.
Oh Lunch special today at Cardello's, it's the prime rib.
When's the last time you had your cholesterol checked, buddy? Fit as a fiddle.
Your doctor e-mails you your test results? Aren't you worried that Putin's looking at your sperm count? (SIGHS) I'm just glad the IRS hasn't digitized these files yet or you and me'd be looking for work.
How's that list coming along? Eleven companies? I requested their financials last week.
I'm not holding my breath.
(SIGHS) - Did you get it? - Yeah.
I had to go through a friend at another division 'cause I didn't want Sleader poking his nose in it.
Hmm.
All right.
(CLEARS THROAT) Burner phone.
Thank you.
GPS chips.
Did he call? Yeah, he wants me to meet him in a couple of hours.
Is he coming here? This is the address.
From what I can tell, it's an abandoned junkyard.
- All right.
Ready? - Yeah.
Go ahead.
All right.
We're set.
Good.
(SIGHS) Thank you.
For what? For coming back.
I'm still pissed at you.
You're not off the hook, not by a long shot.
But I I know that you could've disappeared on me and I appreciate the fact that you didn't.
- But you're still pissed? - Absolutely.
Yeah.
Well, how long does that last? Too early to tell.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Your watch, Clea.
Where you gonna put the chip? Somewhere out in the open where you can see it.
You sure you wanna do this? No.
But you got a better idea? Mmm-mmm.
Well, then let's light this fuckin' candle.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING) All-inclusive.
Infinity pool with a bar.
You know they have Zita bugs there.
It's Zika, Ben.
Zika.
Do I look like I'm gonna get pregnant? How about you? Where are you taking Sam and Annie for your vacation? South Dakota.
People vacation there? Sam's mother lives there.
- Our therapist says - Oh, what? I'm not a good enough friend to talk to? (LAUGHS) Oh, believe me.
It's not my idea.
We just sold the last prime rib.
Oh, wow! (SIGHS) Can a guy not get one thing that he wants? Is that too much to ask? You are having a sunny-side down day, my friend.
You're late.
Yeah, well, there was a lot of traffic.
Chip.
What's the rush? I want to get home for Judge Judy.
Gimme the fucking chip.
Oh, you'll get it.
When I speak to somebody above your pay grade.
Oh, yeah? Like who? Like whoever's steering the ship.
(SCOFFS) That's not gonna happen.
Gimme the fucking chip.
You know, you can shoot me now.
Or you can shoot me later.
I mean, really, what difference does it make? You go back to your boss without the chip, and you'll be joining me wherever it is you stash the bodies.
(CAMERA CLICKS) Today's your lucky day.
Get in.
Get in or you don't meet the boss.
(GROANS) (ENGINE STARTING) (GROANS) (SNIFFLES) Where's the chip? I wanna speak to the person in charge.
Where's the chip? You can do whatever you want, pal, it's not gonna change my answer.
I'm gonna start you at 15 on, 15 off.
You don't tell me what I want to know, I'll move you up to 30 on, 30 off.
(CHOKING) (GAGGING) (SPITS) (GASPS) (COUGHS) Where's the chip? (EXHALES) The person in charge.
They taught me how to do this on the towelheads.
And here I am doing it to one of our own.
American hero no less.
It all comes back to us in the end.
Like everything in that fucking war.
(CHOKING) (GAGS) (COUGHS) (COUGHING) (GASPS) (PANTING) (EXHALES) The chip.
Fuck you.
You hear me.
Fuck you.
All right.
(PANTING) You win.
(DOOR RATTLING) (COUGHS) (EXHALES) You withstood a great deal of pain to get to see me, Mr.
Kelly.
Well, here I am.
Speak.
You've got my full attention.
What is it you want? The person in charge.
You're not him.
Your funeral.
Fuck you.
(SPITS) (EXHALES) Where's the chip? Fuck you.
You hear me? Fuck you.
(CHOKING) (ETHAN COUGHS) He didn't buy it.
I don't know.
But if we keep going, we're gonna kill him.
(ETHAN COUGHS) This is Detective Clea Annou, I need backup.
No, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Cancel that.
Cancel that.
(COUGHS) (HAWKS LOUDLY AND SPITS) (GASPS) "Enhanced interrogation.
" Yeah.
(GROANS) What a freaking joke.
Every time they talk about this in, uh, Congress or the press or wherever, they talk about how this simulates the feeling of drowning.
Doesn't simulate the feeling of drowning.
You are being drowned, am I right? (SIGHS) A person can drown in as little as a cup of water.
Anytime liquid enters the air passages and lungs, even if someone doesn't die immediately, it can still turn fatal.
Most people don't realize this.
There's a whole host of medical complications, pneumonia, renal failure, that can come on later.
And they call these delayed fatalities "secondary drownings.
" I mean, I'm not a doctor But I like to read about these things.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) Struggling is one of the key stages to unconsciousness and death.
That final fight can be so intense that in more than 10% of drowning fatalities, autopsy will often reveal ruptured muscles, predominantly in the neck and chest, shoulders.
Given all that, I am particularly impressed by your ability to withstand what we just threw at you, Mr.
Kelly.
(EXHALES SHARPLY) I stuck my neck out for you.
They said you were a thief.
You couldn't be trusted.
You'd never get the chip back.
And you proved the doubters wrong.
I know how to show my appreciation.
Where's the chip, Ethan? (DIALS PHONE) Regan, it's me.
I'm gonna need you to pull everything you have on Theresa Archer and the Ombello Group.
I'll explain later.
(ENGINE STARTING) THERESA: Why are we here? Tommy Williams.
Cannot say that I recognize that name.
He's buried right over there.
Is he a friend of yours? More like family.
I see.
What happened to him? Detective Casey Oaks happened to him.
That wasn't on my orders, Ethan.
Let's just say that Oaks, he was little out of control.
Little too independent for our liking.
But he's not a problem anymore.
He's gone.
And you're still standing.
So why don't you tell me why you really brought me here? You know, I moved back to this city to try to start over again and I thought I could Right the wrongs of my past.
It casts a long shadow.
I was hoping to get a little bit of sunshine, you know? I've come to the realization that you can't change who you are.
And what is that, Ethan? Somebody who knows you people all too well.
Somebody who can be a considerable asset to you.
- You want to work for me? - Yes, ma'am.
I don't think so.
Why not? I passed your test.
I got you the chip back.
And yet I don't see it.
(SIGHS DEEPLY) (EXHALES SHARPLY) I'm as good or better than anyone you have.
(CAMERA CLICKING) So use me.
(KNIFE CLICKS) (CAMERA CLICKS) I need you to run a plate for me.
Here.
Thanks.
You doing okay? (CHUCKLES) What? It's been a long time since somebody asked me that.
Or worried about me for that matter.
I was worried.
How are you holding up? Seen better days and some worse.
Can I ask you something? Sure.
When you were being tortured, you didn't know how it was gonna end.
No.
What were you thinking about? I was thinking about making it through the next moment.
Then the next, the next.
I mean, honestly, I was thinking about living.
I'll drink to that.
(SIGHS) My mother, um, she used to make this bebinca.
It's like a sweet, sweet dessert, and her grandmother used to make it for her as a kid in Goa.
And the customers loved it.
And after she died, my dad, he tried to make it, but it wasn't any good.
But the customers kept coming, out of respect for her.
And they never had the heart to tell my dad it tasted like shit.
(CHUCKLES) He eventually got it so it was passable, but it was not like hers.
It was the last thing she ever cooked.
She got lymphoma.
And it came on out of nowhere.
It was really fast.
And one day, she's lying in bed, she's so weak, and this thing kicked the crap out of her.
She was a ghost even before she died.
Anyway, I was sitting there and I asked her if she was scared of dying.
And I was seven, I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.
And you know what she said? She said "I never think about dying.
"I only ever think about living.
" Yeah.
Here's to your mother.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
(SIGHS) How about a drink? Did you really just ask me that? How are you doing? I'm still here, Regan.
Come and sit.
(SIGHS) Thanks.
(CLEARS THROAT) (REGAN CLEARS THROAT) Okay.
So Theresa Archer is the CEO of Ombello Group.
Management consultants.
I interviewed her after Daniel Jameson died.
He was her partner.
Company comes up clean.
They pay their taxes.
Support a shitload of local charities.
Your model corporation.
But get this During the Iraq War, she was a consultant for Bluewater Private Security.
They were big-time players over there.
After the War, they sent her to the Green Zone in Baghdad.
The Wild West.
She was Bluewater's liaison to the Coalition Provisional Authority, advising them on the use of US private security.
That's where she met Jameson.
She told me they met in the States.
REGAN: Well, she lied.
They made a shitload of money over there, and they used it to set up their own company, Ombello.
Their two other partners, Garret Bledsoe and Michael Reynolds, were also consultants for the Coalition Authority.
After the war, their company made a killing.
Their client roster ranges from petroleum companies, software start-ups, local government, local branches of Federal agencies.
What about private security companies? REGAN: Two.
The ones that Theresa was working for in Baghdad? Well, they've changed their names to bury the stink of their activities over there, but essentially, yes.
What about the guy she gave the chip to? Couldn't get an ID on him, but the plates on the vehicle? They're military.
Jesus.
Why can't we arrest her? For what? I don't know.
Torture.
Did you see it? No, I Then it's Ethan's word against hers.
We have her on camera taking possession of the chip.
Inadmissible.
Chain of evidence.
Fuck.
I fucking hate the law.
Look, we saw what these people were capable of when they killed Oaks.
We know they have a long reach.
But if we go after them half-cocked, they'll have an army of over-priced lawyers tying us up in litigation before we even get close to this thing.
Meanwhile, whoever else is involved has plenty of time to disappear.
What do you suggest? Well, this morning, we didn't know who these people were.
Now you're in with them.
You're essentially an undercover operative.
Yeah.
We do this the old-fashioned way.
Build a case, gather intel.
You work your way up the ladder, play the long game.
That way, when we move in to make arrests, our case is iron-fucking-clad and these pricks have nowhere to run.
I swear to God, you're enjoying this, aren't ya? Well, before it was just a bunch of dirty cops.
Now it's a huge corporation.
Our odds just got immeasurably longer, but I know prosecutors who wait their whole lives to just get a sniff at a case like this.
What do you think, Clea? (CELL PHONE RINGS) Give me a second.
Yeah? I'll be there.
They want me to check in to Room 7, Harmony Motel downtown at 9:00 a.
m.
tomorrow.
Here's to the long game.
So you're Ethan Kelly? You are You must have really impressed someone on the top floor.
Yeah? Why's that? Well, they got me looking after you for one, and I don't waste my time.
Now, this is Hector Ramirez.
At some point today, we don't know when, he's gonna show up at this motel to sell approximately two keys of Mexican black tar heroin to a man named Victor Young.
Now, the amount doesn't concern us.
What concerns us is that Victor Young is operating without our approval.
You're gonna interrupt that deal, remove the product.
Once you've done so, you'll use the phone that you've been given to call the number on the back.
I'm your new Casey Oaks, huh? Oaks was an amateur.
You have a nice day.
You too.
IRS Special Investigations.
Hey, it's me.
You're late.
Yeah Sam's come down with whatever it is that Annie's got.
I'm waiting for the GP to call in a prescription.
I'll probably be there in an hour or so.
And infect my sanctuary with the H1N1 virus two days before I go to Cancun? No, you're staying home.
No, don't be stupid.
Did you know that there are 2.
7 million bacterial cells per square inch in most schools? Your kid is a walking ad for the plague.
Stay home.
I got you covered, buddy.
WOMAN: Ben, get up here, will you? Oh, kill me now.
(SIGHS) I'm coming.
(DIALING) MAN: We have a problem.
Ben Olson isn't going in to work today.
Shit! (SIGHS) Emily, cancel my meetings.
I'm going out.
(CAMERA CLICKING) (CAMERA CLICKING) Morning, sir.
Your toilet flooded? You got the wrong room.
(GROANS) (CHOKING) (CAMERA CLICKING) (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey, how's it goin'? Who the fuck are you? I'm Ramirez's buddy.
He's taking a shit.
(CHUCKLES) Fucking guy sure picks his time.
(GROANS) JONES: Do you have the product? Yeah, I got it.
Go to Cardello's on Union.
Go through the restaurant to an exit door at the back.
This will lead you down to the basement where they'll be a dishwasher by the name of Mekhi waiting for you.
You give him the bag.
He'll give you $100,000 cash.
You bring that to us.
I'll text you the address.
Understood? Yeah.
I want another meeting with Theresa.
(SCOFFS) Well, don't fuck this up.
And I'm sure she gladly buy you a cup of coffee.
Well, it seems our boy has a soft spot for you.
(CHUCKLES) Who doesn't? (SIRENS WAILING) Shit.
License and registration, please.
Here you go.
You got something against stop signs? Ah, I didn't see it.
Brake light's out, too.
Yeah, somebody rear-ended me the other day.
Why the rush? I've got a VFW meeting in a few minutes.
You served? Yes, sir.
Three tours.
Look, I already ran your plate, so I gotta give you a ticket for the brake light.
I understand.
It's a "fix it" ticket.
Thanks a lot Officer, uh, Parvey, huh? Drive safe.
Take care.
(ENGINE STARTING) (ENGINE REVS) (CAMERA CLICKS) (CELL PHONE RINGS) Yeah? They have me doing a drop at Cardello's.
Why do I recognize that name? Same restaurant that Oaks sent me to.
Maybe the owners are connected to Ombello.
I'll have Regan look into it.
All right, I'll call you afterwards.
Okay.
Do that.
Be safe.
All right? You too.
(WHISTLE BLOWS IN DISTANCE) (INDISTINCT CHATTERING) You Mekhi? Yeah.
(EXHALES) All right.
Lemme see it.
The money first.
All right.
Go out through the back.
(EXHALES) (CAMERA CLICKS) What the fuck? (ENGINE STARTING) (TIRES SQUEALING) (ENGINE STARTING) (TIRES SQUEALING) Fuck.
I need a bus at 1545 Charteris Lane.
Double homicide.
I'm in pursuit of the suspect.
(ZIPPER OPENING) Well done, Mr.
Kelly.
(CLOSES ZIPPER) Theresa will be with you momentarily.
Wait here.
(LOUD EXPLOSION) WOMAN: Where the hell do you want me to go? (PEOPLE CLAMORING) - (HORN HONKS) - WOMAN: Go back! MAN: Come on, man move that.
Fuck.
