Flashpoint s04e17 Episode Script
Priority of Life
We need to go now.
The vents aren't on.
The venting system must've been knocked off-line when Xavier sabotaged the power generator.
My leg! I can't feel my leg! The pathogen meter's Anything over 2500's fatal.
She needs medical attention, okay? You all do.
You need to let everybody out now.
Jules? Jules! Jules! Jules! That's a test subject? Yes.
It's not contained.
I did.
I double bagged it.
You double seal it, and then you put it in a container.
The subject may be dead, but the pathogens that killed it are very much alive, understand? Be careful.
I'm sorry, sir.
Greg Parker.
Dr.
Toth, hello.
Very well, thank you.
How are you? Okay.
You wanna a tell me why? Yes, I know what it's in there.
Ben, incident report last month, the 17th.
No, that can't be right.
Hey.
Set it up in the briefing room.
You got it.
Yeah, I'll be here.
Down on your knees! Don't turn around! Don't turn around! Hands behind your back! Dammit! What's going on? They forgot to tu their mics off.
Jules and Sam.
I thought they were done.
Well, they're not.
That was the condition, when she rejoined the team.
I know.
Priority of life.
I gotta tell you, Eddie, I knew it was happening.
How long? Two months.
And I made the choice to let it go on.
What happened to no mo secrets, Greg? This way, it's just on me.
It's not your job, it's mine.
It's your job? What do you mean? When Dr.
Toth put this team on probation I gave him my word that Sam and Jules wouldn't cross the line.
Well, what's he gonna do? Greg? On the ground! Turn around! Hands behind your back! All right, up! Up! Come on, move it! Move it! Team one, hot call.
Gear up.
Go.
What do you mean? What's going on? I got no choice.
Greg! Go.
Just go.
I don't want the team distracted by this.
Go! What're we looking at, Spike? All right, it's a level three biohazard research facility.
Meaning what? Well, meaning it's classified.
But hold on.
Okay, here we go.
Private company, study biological agents and develop vaccines.
Terrorist target? It's on the watch list.
Oh man Viruses, toxins, pathogens, all kinds e exotic bacterias.
This stuff gets out, it's like biological WMD's with mass casualties.
- Okay, okay.
Ben? - - Go ahead.
We need a Hazmat team with a decontamination unit.
Full community evac Uh, Spike? Uh two kilometers.
Two kilometer radius.
EMS on scene, please.
Got it.
And I've got RDA's CEO, Dr.
Henry Bergan, on the line.
Okay, Ben, thank you.
Put him through.
Patching him in now.
Doctor, it's Ed Lane, SRU.
Officer, I just heard.
I was on my way downtown.
I'm at least 40 minutes away from the lab.
Who's in charge of the facility now? Rose Gilvrey.
She's our CFO.
Rose is extremely capable, she can give you everything you need.
Okay, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Officer, I don't know if you're aware, but our facility If the wrong person were to get their hands on our materials We're aware.
All it would take is a subway car, an office building, a vent.
Doctor, best thing you can do right now is to let us handle it.
Keep your phone handy, we'll call you if we need you.
Thank you.
Officer.
Rose Gilvrey.
Rose, is this building fully evacuated? Apart from the central personnel.
We need everybody outta there now.
Tests are still in progress in the lab.
Samples of sensitive materials have to be properly contained.
Well, how many people we talking about here? Our chief scientist and his second, and they'll be done as soon as possible.
Okay, any word from the security guard? No, but one of our workers was found tied up in the waste disposal lockup.
Okay, did he get any descriptions? No, he was attacked from behind; he didn't see a thing.
Can you confirm how many intruders we're dealing with? Shots fired! All right, get back! You guys, back, back, back! Ben, we got shots fired.
Active shooter.
Copy.
Let's get ems down here immediately.
We're gonna try to locate and extract any of the victims.
Rose? Can you help us out with staging area inside? I've brought you passcards.
Keep them on your person.
These give you access to the entire building.
I would advise that you don't go into the clean room until they're done.
Okay.
Spike, you ready? Let's move.
Sam Let's do it.
Power's out.
This shouldn't be happening.
We have precautions against blackouts.
You have backup generators? Of course, but every second of downtime's dangerous.
What's going on, Ben? Active shooter.
No confirmed victims yet.
Just keep me informed, all right? Sure thing, boss.
Greg, I'm sorry to do this.
Do what? I'm here to suspend you from duty.
Rose, where was the gunman last seen? Right there.
And he took the guard in that direction.
Essential personnel? There, in the clean room.
Laboratory one.
Okay, Jules, head to the lab, escort those workers out.
Rose, tell your team we're on our way.
Guys, with me.
Let's move.
Spike, get Rose to help us into the mainframe.
Suspended.
I was expecting a bigger reaction.
Conditionally? Permanently? What? That will depend on you.
Team one's probation period is now over.
But I'm left with two major concerns.
One is your judgment as sergeant, regarding the relationship between Callaghan and Braddock, which you made the choice to conceal.
That's right.
The other concern, equally critical to your team's safety, is your judgment of your own judgment.
Second guessing, self-doubt This is the subtext of all your reports, transcripts, self-evaluations.
You openly question your own decision-making.
How can you captain a ship, if you've lost your own compass? Any rebuttal? Or am I right that you're relieved someone else has finally made the choice for you? So Please sign here and here and I'll need you to relinquish your badge and sidearm.
What about Braddock and Callaghan? They will be reassigned to different teams.
That's not gonna work.
Northwest hallway clear.
Lab three clear.
No sign of a gunmen, no further shots fired.
Copy that.
Dr Bergan.
Rose, fill me in.
The police are here.
They haven't located the gunmen as yet, and we lost power.
How long? If refrigeration's down Rose, you know what that material's worth.
Of course I do.
But with armed intruders in, there seems little point Power's back.
We're good.
I'll be there as fast as I can.
Ma'am, I'm gonna need access to your computers.
- I'll call you back.
- Passwords please.
- Sure.
- Now.
SRU.
You guys okay? Uh, fine.
It's probably best if you stay outside the lab until these samples are secured.
Is that bogeyman still on the loose? We're working on locating him right now.
We need you guys to evacuate as soon as possible.
Well, we need at least another 20 minutes.
Some of the samples started to thaw when we lost power.
Filiform gets real cranky at room temperature.
Guys, we need another Okay.
What's filiform? It's a strain of anthrax, refined and weaponized during the cold war.
We're working on a vaccine.
If I had told them to end it, they would have listened, but I didn't.
It's on me, not them.
They made their own choice, after already having been granted a second chance.
Come on, doctor, look me in the eye and tell me if you've ever, in all the calls we've had this year, seen their judgment or their performance impaired by their relationship.
Not yet.
But it's only a matter of time before their instinct to protect each other overrides the safety of a citizen.
This is why we have the priority of life protocol.
You like assuming the worst, Larry? Don't lecture me, Greg.
Imagining I could've kept someone safe but didn't? That's what keeps me up at night.
Here we go.
Police! - Clear! - Clear! You all right? We have the guard, unharmed.
He just left through that door.
He took my gun.
- One guy? - Yeah.
Go! Go! We've lost visual.
Spike, you seeing him? I got nothing.
He's avoiding the cameras.
We heard gunshots.
Any wounded? He shot out the power generator.
Power generator? I didn't have the passkey to get him into secure storage.
He must have known this building has electronic locks.
So he knows the place.
Yeah.
He was looking for something in the deep freeze.
When he couldn't find it, he lost it.
And what'd he say? He said he wasn't gonna let 'em get away with it.
Spike, gunman knows the place.
It sounds personal.
Gonna bring the guard to you right now, see if he can id the subject.
Copy that.
Rose, we're gonna need photos of all RDA employees, past and present.
Of course.
No, I couldn't find it.
No, the police got in the way.
Look, you gotta come here.
That's not Look, that's not gonna No, it's not gonna work and you know it.
I know what to do.
They're in lockdown.
I know where Applewhite is.
You just need to get here as soon as you can.
Employee personnel files are up on that monitor.
Jules, you good? All clear.
That's a lot of turnover.
Yeah, one of our senior operations managers moved on last year.
Got a better offer and took his team with him.
That's him.
- Xavier Dodd.
- Let me see, let me see.
We had to let him go four months ago.
Poor performance, mental health issues.
Sam? Raf? You getting this? Copy that.
- Nobody move! - Subject's in the lab! Jesus! Xavier? What're you doing? I'm looking for answers! You're gonna help me find them! Xavier, I need you to put the gun down now.
You, back up, or I'll shoot! Tell those guys to stay out! I can see them! Tell them to stand down! Sam, Raf, stand down.
We're gonna work this out, okay? We' I in mid-process here, okay? We're dealing with filiform, we need to reseal these Hey! Don't tell me about filiform, okay? I know about filiform.
Then you know that at room temperature filiform starts to vaporize.
Look.
Look at the pathogen meter.
We're already inhaling spores.
If the exposure in here crosses threshold level, it's untreatable.
Then I guess you'd better help me soon rather than later.
We need to seal these samples immediately.
Hey! What did I say?! Nobody moves, nobody leaves until I get what I want! That includes you! Sir.
Jules is in the line of fire.
Subject has two hostages.
- What does he want? - - No clear demands yet.
He was fired for psychological reasons.
All right, I'll get a headset.
Greg, we are going to the gun cage.
No, these are my people.
I need to know what's going on.
There's an exposed pathogen that could become airborne.
What kind of pathogen? Anthrax.
All right, forget the headset.
Have Spike patch audio/visual into the briefing room.
- Do it now.
Right now.
- Yes, sir.
Don't make me call for an escort off SRU property.
Back off, Larry.
You know you're officially under suspension.
Then I've got nothing left to lose, do I? If you do that, you know your chances of returning to duty My team needs me.
Spike? Eddie? Can you hear me? Boss.
Okay, I've got visual and comm, I'm with you.
Xavier, can you tell us what you want here today? How do you know my name, huh? What did they tell you? What did they say? They said that you worked here and you were let go.
Four months ago.
Mental health issues, unreliable work habits, disparaging the company.
Did they say I was unstable? Huh? Paranoid?! They said you had mental health issues.
Ah! Physical health not so much concern, huh? He was an excellent employee, at first, but then later he became convinced that one of our vaccines was making him sick.
His performance suffered, his behaviour became erratic, and then he threatened litigation.
Dr.
Applewhite had no choice but to let him go.
Ben, I need everything you can find on this guy family, home life, medical records.
Copy.
Boss? Hey, Spike, let me talk to your contact there.
Rose, it's my boss.
Hi, Rose, my name is Sergeant Greg Parker, I'm at the SRU.
Is the man actually sick? His symptoms were found to be psychosomatic and stress-related.
Then why would Xavier take RDA's vaccine? Standard precaution.
He worked in our biosafety zones.
Xavier was a disposal specialist.
Yes.
It's a high-risk position.
He worked with infected animal carcasses.
It says he was given VVA-50, a three-in-one vaccine for anthrax, botulism and smallpox.
Yes, all safe, approved, and sold all over the world.
Okay, thank you, Rose.
Do you think the company's vaccine is what made you sick? I know it did.
And that's why you're here today.
I'm here to get a sample of the vaccine I was given.
I want my doctor to analyze it.
VVA-50 has a shelf life of one year, Xavier.
There won't be any samples left of the ba You're lying! You're lying! He's a liar! He's the chief researcher here; He designs these vaccines.
He fired me personally.
He's accountable.
He has every reason to cover it up.
Maybe I can check it out.
No offense, you I don't trust.
Them I don't trust.
All right, Dr.
Ouellette's gonna be here any minute, then we're gonna get some answers.
Do you know this Dr.
Ouellette? Jack Ouellette.
He's an activist scientist.
Been crusading against vaccine manufacturers for year.
And there's no remaining samples to analyze? No.
Ben, let's get Xavier's wife down here.
We need to talk to her.
Copy that.
Xavier, there's no sample on the premises.
We checked it out.
No No No! Why should I believe you? You can check the records.
That entire batch will have been used or discarded by now.
It'll be in the records.
I wanna see those records.
I want Ouellette to see those records.
I want him to see everything! I wanna know exactly what I was given! I wanna know exactly what was in it! Something you put inside me made me sick.
I hear you.
Look at me.
I hear you, all right? Now, if RDA gives Dr.
Ouellette addresses, will you please let these people finish their work here? You make that happen, you got a deal.
Boss, Xavier's wife is here.
Valerie Simmons? Okay, we need to talk over here.
No, no.
This shouldn't be happening.
They forced him to take the vaccines.
You know that, right? It was a condition of his employment when he started here for his "protection.
" Compulsory vaccinations.
Just like the Gulf War soldiers.
Didn't work out too well for some of them either.
Soon after that he started getting these muscle cramps, spasms in his arms and shoulders, migraines.
RDA's in-house doctor said that It was all in his mind, like what he needed was a better attitude.
But Xavier kept getting worse.
After they fired him, we tracked down this doctor who studies vaccines and their side effects.
And this was Dr.
Ouellette? Yeah, and we went for a second opinion.
Lou Gherig's disease.
I've ruled out pretty much every other possibility.
Now, the EMG confirms it.
What is that, like a Brain disease? Over the next few years, your motor functions will continue to decline, you'll lose control of your movement.
And there's No The als runs its course in two to three years, sometimes more.
Um, then respiratory failure sets in.
But his mind will be normal? Even though you can't move or speak, it's still you in there.
Three years So let me ask you this, this in-house doctor, why didn't he discover the als? Convenient, isn't it? And you tried legal action? Three different lawyers.
They all said sorry for your luck, there's no proof the vaccines made him sick.
That's why Xavier was trying to get a sample for testing.
Why the gun? He had no choice.
They weren't exactly gonna let him walk in the front Dr.
Oh, and he's dying.
You got that part, right? Okay, I need to go to work here and I just need you to wait outside with this officer, please.
It's okay.
Xavier doesn't have a lot to lose.
It's gonna be tricky working him down from this.
Dr.
Ouellette? He just called me on the phone.
I have nothing to do with this man's actions here today.
Well, that's good.
So let me cut to the chase.
Could the vaccine have caused Xavier's illness? There's a preservative that's used in some vaccines, squalene, that's recently been linked to als.
I know RDA has experimented with squalene in the past.
None of our squalene vaccines ever went to market.
Okay, look, here's the deal.
Xavier wants you to go through RDA's documentation and to tell him whether or not that vaccine is safe.
Can you do that? If RDA will allow it, absolutely.
Rose, you made that call? Yes, I've cleared it with our CEO but no documents leave this building.
Okay, Jules.
Xavier, Dr.
Ouellette is here.
RDA gave him access to their files.
How do I know? Xavier, I'm right here.
I'm gonna check into this for you, all right? Make sure they gave you what they said they gave you.
Okay, good.
Good.
Okay, let's go.
Raf, see if you can find us some different eyes in.
On it.
Do you remember our deal? Thank you.
Okay, we've lost a lot of time.
We have to move fast.
We need to put these babies to bed.
Ed, got a window behind the subject.
Now, stay ready, in case things go sideways.
You can search our inventory on the computer over there.
Backup hard copies filed under vaccine number over there.
Fast is good, doctor.
Facts don't lie.
This won't take long.
How you holding up? I'm dying.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You know, first, it was just small stuff.
My muscles started twitching for no reason.
I got a little numbness and tingling.
Didn't think anything of it.
But this disease, it moves fast.
Soon, I'm not gonna be able to feed myself.
I'm not gonna be able to move, or dress, or swallow.
Or speak.
I can handle it, so can Val.
I mean that's That's the way it is.
But Gracie She's gonna grow up watching me lose control, one piece at a time, and waste away.
She's not even gonna remember the sound of my voice.
You have als? What? Like you didn't know.
Als is very difficult to diagnose.
I'm sorry our doctors missed it.
I really had no idea.
It's hereditary, right? Is there a member of your family perhaps who? There isn't.
I thought you had work to do.
Jules, Xavier's living under a death sentence.
He's waging war against RDA.
Is the only thing that's keeping him going.
He needs validation.
Xavier, between me and you, you don't strike me as an unstable, paranoid man.
More like somebody who's trying to make sure other people don't get sick like you did.
If I can prove that I'm right, then the money from the lawsuit will help take care of Valerie and Grace.
There's nothing else that I can do for them.
Do you have a picture of her? Of Grace? Look at those cheeks.
How old is she? She just turned three.
Aw, that's such a great age.
She's adorable.
De-escalating.
Nice, Jules.
Facing the end of the road.
Sound familiar? All right, we've got an answer.
Xavier's not gonna like it.
Jules, you're in there, it's your call.
If he escalates, Sam and Raf move on your order.
Copy.
Yeah, Ouellette.
Xavier.
I know this isn't the answer you're hoping to hear.
The vaccine is unrelated to your als.
That was, uh That was so quick.
I checked everything, the ingredients list, phased trial results, safety records, chain of custody right down to your dose.
I don't think the vaccine had anything to do with your als.
What're you saying? You think there's no link? You're telling me there's no link? I'm afraid not.
I'm sorry, Xavier.
That's impossible! Come on, there's gotta be some kind of mistake, or they doctored the results or something! Right?! Ouellette?! Jules, I'm coming in.
Okay, just give him a minute.
This is a lot to accept.
It's the only explanation! Xavier, there is nothing that happened here today that cannot be undone.
No, no, no! Listen, I'm not paranoid.
Okay, I've read about these cover-ups, right? They doctored their file or they deleted something, or they paid people off.
Xavier, you got what you came for VVA-50 was his baby, of course he's gonna try to protect it.
You've got the answer, you need to face We can check it out, Xavier.
Drop your weapon.
There's no way I would've got through if they knew the real truth.
Xavier, put your weapon down now! You did this to me.
You drop your weapon right now! You lied to my face! And you can lie to me, to my face?! Drop your weapon right now! - Drop your weapon! - You let him go! Drop your weapon! Drop your weapon right now! Spike? Lockdown should happen automatically.
Sounds like it just did.
Jules! Jules! Jules! Jules, status! Come on, Jules.
Jules, status.
What's your status? I'm okay.
Puncture wound.
There's a piece of shrapnel.
It hit an artery.
Keep pressure on it.
We got injured, I need to get in there now.
Easy, Sam, easy.
We gotta know what we're dealing with here.
What the hell happened? Team?! Logan fired.
We got a major spill.
The refrigeration unit broke open.
The bullet must have hit the HP vapor generator.
How much filiform was stored in there? At least twenty units.
And at room temperature it thaws, right? And the spores become airborne.
The pathogen meter's 900 and rising.
The good news is the lockdown itself accelerates the vent.
It should bring the pathogen levels down under control.
No, it won't.
The vents aren't on.
The venting system must've been knocked off-line when Xavier sabotaged the power generator.
'Kay, Raf I need you in that vent room now.
I'm on my way.
Ed, we gotta go in.
I'm suiting up now.
1200 parts per million and climbing.
Come on, come on, come on.
My leg! I can't feel my leg! It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
We're going to have to reset it.
Okay, keep her leg steady.
Hands here.
Here! Okay Okay It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
I need to find something for a splint.
Jules, can you hear me? Mh-mm.
Sniper breathing, okay? Slow it down, and hold.
Lower your heart rate, you'll lose less blood.
We're coming right in.
We'll get you soon, okay? If filiform's inhaled, what happens, Rose? If it's under a micron, hits the bloodstream with every breath.
If you inhale over the threshold, there's no going back.
There's no real symptoms at first, but But what? Ultimately? Severe respiratory problems, your skin turns blue, you vomit blood.
It's terminal.
Okay, under that threshold, is it treatable? With antibiotics.
The threshold is? Anything over 2500's fatal.
Xavier, this is Ed Lane with the SRU.
I need everybody out of that room immediately.
Let's just get you some fresh air, and then I promise you we will resolve anything you need.
Where are you doing? She needs help to get out of here.
Xavier, we're all leaving right now, through the decontamination chamber, one at a time.
No! Nobody's leaving here until I get some answers.
The venting system is off-line.
You know the damage that filiform does.
Why won't you admit it?! I'll admit anything, anything that you want I want you to tell the truth! But the truth is you just got sick, Xavier.
It's terrible, it's unfair, but it's not my fault.
He can't face the truth; means accepting his own death.
Now the crusade he and Valerie are on was all for nothing.
Maybe it's hard to hear, but maybe the vaccine didn't make you sick.
How could you possibly understand this? This is your last chance! Do not raise your weapon! Ed, I'm in the vent room.
Talk to me, Raf.
It looks like the whole thing's shut down.
Our best bet is to reinitialize the system manually.
Doctor, I'm going to ask you one last time before I put any more of my team in danger, is there any possibility that Xavier could be right.
Dr.
Ouellette only if squalene were present in the VVA-50's composition.
But I'd have seen that in the records.
And hypothetically, if there had been a cover-up? No.
Not possible, not without doctor in the records.
Not without employees being aware.
Or employees being let go? What kind of employees? Depends on the nature of the cover-up.
What are you doing? Operations manager? Safety supervisor? Quality control inspector? If it were a contamination issue, definitely.
There is no cover-up.
That many people were let go? Last year.
The entire safety operations team, just before Xavier was hired.
Rose, you replaced your entire safety department? What, did you get a result you didn't like? As I said before, our safety operations manager left and took his entire team with him.
I was sorry to see them go.
Huh.
Spike, Eddie, think we need another angle on this.
Copy.
Ben, get me RDA's CEO on the line.
Copy.
Rose, if you're protecting someone, now is the time to come clean.
Boss, Dr.
Bergan's on the line.
Patch him through.
Sergeant, I understand the situation at the lab still isn't resolved.
Yeah, your former employee remains convinced that one of RDA's vaccines made him sick.
That's just not possible.
Doctor, I'm telling you, a minute ago, I would've agreed with you.
Excuse me? Dr.
Bergan, are you aware of any problems with operational safety at RDA? Absolutely not.
So, you're not aware that your entire safety team was replaced last year? Rose told me they moved on by choi.
.
And so she replaces an entire safety department, and you don't even raise an eyebrow? I trust Rose implicitly.
Her vision and leadership have single-handedly made this company profitable again.
Dr.
Bergen, I've got four lives in jeopardy at your lab, I'm gonna need your full cooperation here.
You have it, I promise you.
I'm taking you up on that.
Jules, slow your breath, okay? Count it out, keep your heart rate real low.
Shhh! Hang on, hang on.
Xavier we're running out of time.
Jules? Jules? Jules! Okay Is she okay? She's lost a lot of blood.
You've gotta apply constant pressure, - Okay? - Okay.
All right, keep your head down.
Okay.
Xavier, she needs medical attention, okay? You all do.
You need to let everybody out now.
Xavier! How can this possibly help you? Okay! Okay! Okay! They can go, but he stays.
They can't walk, Xavier! They need our help.
You're staying! Jules, I'm on my way.
Are you hearing what I'm hearing? A civilian's at risk.
He knows what he's doing.
The decontamination chamber's effective for only two people at a time.
Rose, can he take an oxygen tank in there with him for the others? Too risky.
The air's thick with hydrogen peroxide vapors.
Introduce enriched oxygen and the whole thing can blow up.
Did you see that? You wanna write that down, and put it in your file.
Priority of life is observed.
Noted.
Sarge is that you? Hey, Jules, you stay with me.
Yeah, you hang in there, okay? I couldn't get through to him.
No, you did everything you could, you hear me? You did everything you could.
You do me proud.
You just hang on.
Jules, you just hang on.
Raf, come on, buddy.
Anything? Doing everything I can.
He's here.
Let's do this.
It's my boss, I need to take this.
Yes? Rose, I was just questioned by the police.
The less you know the better.
I appreciate that.
But just so it's clear moving forward, the safety team you replaced They found irregularities in the tank cleaning system The presence of squalene in a large batch of VVA-50.
We disagreed about the risk, and I gave them a generous incentive to move on, and then I cleared up.
I see.
And that batch wasn't destroyed? Henry, you know how much a batch that size is worth.
It was our entire margin for the year.
I couldn't just throw it away.
I didn't realize.
So we've distributed a tainted vaccine, and Xavier was one of a number of people who received it? We've had no customer complaints, and there's no actual proof that our vaccine made him sick.
It was my call, Henry.
Your call pulled us out of the red.
Yes, it did.
It earned you a bonus.
Yes, it did.
Thank you for your honesty, Rose.
Yeah, thank you for your honesty.
Jules, you get that? Your boss was calling from our station.
The miracle of the modern headset.
The whole team's connected to one set of ears.
Xavier, it's done.
Help me up.
Xavier! Xavier, Rose confessed.
She confessed! She confessed.
There were safety issues.
RDA gave you a tainted vaccine, okay? Gave you a tainted vaccine.
She, she admitted She admitted to the cover-up.
She did.
Now you have to go.
The decontamination chamber only works for two, so I want you to go now.
We have to get outta here.
We have to go.
You go first.
You go first; I'm already sick.
Come on.
Come on.
God, I'm so sorry.
Raf, Xavier's still not out.
Almost there.
Ah, come on, come on.
I love you.
I love you.
Come on.
Be ready, guys, she's lost a lot of blood.
I got it.
Get her outta there.
Let's go, let's go! Come on, Jules, come on.
We're gonna give you an IV and then we're gonna get you to the hospital.
So down it seems the reassuring dream I will let you hold onto me always knowing what it means 'cause falling down I love you.
Is what I found You're gonna be okay, Jules.
But wait 'cause I can see the silence I confronted you with your suspension, you agreed to it.
But when you saw your people out there were at risk, what'd you do? You went high-noon on me, at great risk to your chances of getting your job back.
Now, why is that? You saw what happened out there.
Priority of life was observed.
Today it was.
We don't know about tomorrow.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Your sergeant's suspension orders.
You don't get it, do you? I've seen this team, I've read the reports You don't see what this team does, you don't live the job.
If it wasn't for him Eddie Sam and Jules? That was the right call.
You can't say that.
It was the right call because it was your call, and that's why we're here, and that's why we're team one.
So don't come in here and tell me otherwise.
Okay.
So here's the thing: I like this team.
I like your sergeant, I trust him.
The problem is he doesn't trust himself.
Team one is off of probation as of today.
Regarding Callaghan and Braddock, based on what I've seen today, I will make a personal appeal to the chief to reverse his decision to split them up.
Until that time, they will remain on team one.
Thank you.
How is she? She's stable, sir.
She'll be all right.
I'm glad to hear it.
Sergeant Parker, you have some thinking to do.
I'm gonna give you one week to decide if you wanna continue to lead this team.
Your team trusts your judgment, so do I.
One week.
So Go to the gun range, use this for target practice? What do you think? No, Eddie.
Not just yet.
The vents aren't on.
The venting system must've been knocked off-line when Xavier sabotaged the power generator.
My leg! I can't feel my leg! The pathogen meter's Anything over 2500's fatal.
She needs medical attention, okay? You all do.
You need to let everybody out now.
Jules? Jules! Jules! Jules! That's a test subject? Yes.
It's not contained.
I did.
I double bagged it.
You double seal it, and then you put it in a container.
The subject may be dead, but the pathogens that killed it are very much alive, understand? Be careful.
I'm sorry, sir.
Greg Parker.
Dr.
Toth, hello.
Very well, thank you.
How are you? Okay.
You wanna a tell me why? Yes, I know what it's in there.
Ben, incident report last month, the 17th.
No, that can't be right.
Hey.
Set it up in the briefing room.
You got it.
Yeah, I'll be here.
Down on your knees! Don't turn around! Don't turn around! Hands behind your back! Dammit! What's going on? They forgot to tu their mics off.
Jules and Sam.
I thought they were done.
Well, they're not.
That was the condition, when she rejoined the team.
I know.
Priority of life.
I gotta tell you, Eddie, I knew it was happening.
How long? Two months.
And I made the choice to let it go on.
What happened to no mo secrets, Greg? This way, it's just on me.
It's not your job, it's mine.
It's your job? What do you mean? When Dr.
Toth put this team on probation I gave him my word that Sam and Jules wouldn't cross the line.
Well, what's he gonna do? Greg? On the ground! Turn around! Hands behind your back! All right, up! Up! Come on, move it! Move it! Team one, hot call.
Gear up.
Go.
What do you mean? What's going on? I got no choice.
Greg! Go.
Just go.
I don't want the team distracted by this.
Go! What're we looking at, Spike? All right, it's a level three biohazard research facility.
Meaning what? Well, meaning it's classified.
But hold on.
Okay, here we go.
Private company, study biological agents and develop vaccines.
Terrorist target? It's on the watch list.
Oh man Viruses, toxins, pathogens, all kinds e exotic bacterias.
This stuff gets out, it's like biological WMD's with mass casualties.
- Okay, okay.
Ben? - - Go ahead.
We need a Hazmat team with a decontamination unit.
Full community evac Uh, Spike? Uh two kilometers.
Two kilometer radius.
EMS on scene, please.
Got it.
And I've got RDA's CEO, Dr.
Henry Bergan, on the line.
Okay, Ben, thank you.
Put him through.
Patching him in now.
Doctor, it's Ed Lane, SRU.
Officer, I just heard.
I was on my way downtown.
I'm at least 40 minutes away from the lab.
Who's in charge of the facility now? Rose Gilvrey.
She's our CFO.
Rose is extremely capable, she can give you everything you need.
Okay, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Officer, I don't know if you're aware, but our facility If the wrong person were to get their hands on our materials We're aware.
All it would take is a subway car, an office building, a vent.
Doctor, best thing you can do right now is to let us handle it.
Keep your phone handy, we'll call you if we need you.
Thank you.
Officer.
Rose Gilvrey.
Rose, is this building fully evacuated? Apart from the central personnel.
We need everybody outta there now.
Tests are still in progress in the lab.
Samples of sensitive materials have to be properly contained.
Well, how many people we talking about here? Our chief scientist and his second, and they'll be done as soon as possible.
Okay, any word from the security guard? No, but one of our workers was found tied up in the waste disposal lockup.
Okay, did he get any descriptions? No, he was attacked from behind; he didn't see a thing.
Can you confirm how many intruders we're dealing with? Shots fired! All right, get back! You guys, back, back, back! Ben, we got shots fired.
Active shooter.
Copy.
Let's get ems down here immediately.
We're gonna try to locate and extract any of the victims.
Rose? Can you help us out with staging area inside? I've brought you passcards.
Keep them on your person.
These give you access to the entire building.
I would advise that you don't go into the clean room until they're done.
Okay.
Spike, you ready? Let's move.
Sam Let's do it.
Power's out.
This shouldn't be happening.
We have precautions against blackouts.
You have backup generators? Of course, but every second of downtime's dangerous.
What's going on, Ben? Active shooter.
No confirmed victims yet.
Just keep me informed, all right? Sure thing, boss.
Greg, I'm sorry to do this.
Do what? I'm here to suspend you from duty.
Rose, where was the gunman last seen? Right there.
And he took the guard in that direction.
Essential personnel? There, in the clean room.
Laboratory one.
Okay, Jules, head to the lab, escort those workers out.
Rose, tell your team we're on our way.
Guys, with me.
Let's move.
Spike, get Rose to help us into the mainframe.
Suspended.
I was expecting a bigger reaction.
Conditionally? Permanently? What? That will depend on you.
Team one's probation period is now over.
But I'm left with two major concerns.
One is your judgment as sergeant, regarding the relationship between Callaghan and Braddock, which you made the choice to conceal.
That's right.
The other concern, equally critical to your team's safety, is your judgment of your own judgment.
Second guessing, self-doubt This is the subtext of all your reports, transcripts, self-evaluations.
You openly question your own decision-making.
How can you captain a ship, if you've lost your own compass? Any rebuttal? Or am I right that you're relieved someone else has finally made the choice for you? So Please sign here and here and I'll need you to relinquish your badge and sidearm.
What about Braddock and Callaghan? They will be reassigned to different teams.
That's not gonna work.
Northwest hallway clear.
Lab three clear.
No sign of a gunmen, no further shots fired.
Copy that.
Dr Bergan.
Rose, fill me in.
The police are here.
They haven't located the gunmen as yet, and we lost power.
How long? If refrigeration's down Rose, you know what that material's worth.
Of course I do.
But with armed intruders in, there seems little point Power's back.
We're good.
I'll be there as fast as I can.
Ma'am, I'm gonna need access to your computers.
- I'll call you back.
- Passwords please.
- Sure.
- Now.
SRU.
You guys okay? Uh, fine.
It's probably best if you stay outside the lab until these samples are secured.
Is that bogeyman still on the loose? We're working on locating him right now.
We need you guys to evacuate as soon as possible.
Well, we need at least another 20 minutes.
Some of the samples started to thaw when we lost power.
Filiform gets real cranky at room temperature.
Guys, we need another Okay.
What's filiform? It's a strain of anthrax, refined and weaponized during the cold war.
We're working on a vaccine.
If I had told them to end it, they would have listened, but I didn't.
It's on me, not them.
They made their own choice, after already having been granted a second chance.
Come on, doctor, look me in the eye and tell me if you've ever, in all the calls we've had this year, seen their judgment or their performance impaired by their relationship.
Not yet.
But it's only a matter of time before their instinct to protect each other overrides the safety of a citizen.
This is why we have the priority of life protocol.
You like assuming the worst, Larry? Don't lecture me, Greg.
Imagining I could've kept someone safe but didn't? That's what keeps me up at night.
Here we go.
Police! - Clear! - Clear! You all right? We have the guard, unharmed.
He just left through that door.
He took my gun.
- One guy? - Yeah.
Go! Go! We've lost visual.
Spike, you seeing him? I got nothing.
He's avoiding the cameras.
We heard gunshots.
Any wounded? He shot out the power generator.
Power generator? I didn't have the passkey to get him into secure storage.
He must have known this building has electronic locks.
So he knows the place.
Yeah.
He was looking for something in the deep freeze.
When he couldn't find it, he lost it.
And what'd he say? He said he wasn't gonna let 'em get away with it.
Spike, gunman knows the place.
It sounds personal.
Gonna bring the guard to you right now, see if he can id the subject.
Copy that.
Rose, we're gonna need photos of all RDA employees, past and present.
Of course.
No, I couldn't find it.
No, the police got in the way.
Look, you gotta come here.
That's not Look, that's not gonna No, it's not gonna work and you know it.
I know what to do.
They're in lockdown.
I know where Applewhite is.
You just need to get here as soon as you can.
Employee personnel files are up on that monitor.
Jules, you good? All clear.
That's a lot of turnover.
Yeah, one of our senior operations managers moved on last year.
Got a better offer and took his team with him.
That's him.
- Xavier Dodd.
- Let me see, let me see.
We had to let him go four months ago.
Poor performance, mental health issues.
Sam? Raf? You getting this? Copy that.
- Nobody move! - Subject's in the lab! Jesus! Xavier? What're you doing? I'm looking for answers! You're gonna help me find them! Xavier, I need you to put the gun down now.
You, back up, or I'll shoot! Tell those guys to stay out! I can see them! Tell them to stand down! Sam, Raf, stand down.
We're gonna work this out, okay? We' I in mid-process here, okay? We're dealing with filiform, we need to reseal these Hey! Don't tell me about filiform, okay? I know about filiform.
Then you know that at room temperature filiform starts to vaporize.
Look.
Look at the pathogen meter.
We're already inhaling spores.
If the exposure in here crosses threshold level, it's untreatable.
Then I guess you'd better help me soon rather than later.
We need to seal these samples immediately.
Hey! What did I say?! Nobody moves, nobody leaves until I get what I want! That includes you! Sir.
Jules is in the line of fire.
Subject has two hostages.
- What does he want? - - No clear demands yet.
He was fired for psychological reasons.
All right, I'll get a headset.
Greg, we are going to the gun cage.
No, these are my people.
I need to know what's going on.
There's an exposed pathogen that could become airborne.
What kind of pathogen? Anthrax.
All right, forget the headset.
Have Spike patch audio/visual into the briefing room.
- Do it now.
Right now.
- Yes, sir.
Don't make me call for an escort off SRU property.
Back off, Larry.
You know you're officially under suspension.
Then I've got nothing left to lose, do I? If you do that, you know your chances of returning to duty My team needs me.
Spike? Eddie? Can you hear me? Boss.
Okay, I've got visual and comm, I'm with you.
Xavier, can you tell us what you want here today? How do you know my name, huh? What did they tell you? What did they say? They said that you worked here and you were let go.
Four months ago.
Mental health issues, unreliable work habits, disparaging the company.
Did they say I was unstable? Huh? Paranoid?! They said you had mental health issues.
Ah! Physical health not so much concern, huh? He was an excellent employee, at first, but then later he became convinced that one of our vaccines was making him sick.
His performance suffered, his behaviour became erratic, and then he threatened litigation.
Dr.
Applewhite had no choice but to let him go.
Ben, I need everything you can find on this guy family, home life, medical records.
Copy.
Boss? Hey, Spike, let me talk to your contact there.
Rose, it's my boss.
Hi, Rose, my name is Sergeant Greg Parker, I'm at the SRU.
Is the man actually sick? His symptoms were found to be psychosomatic and stress-related.
Then why would Xavier take RDA's vaccine? Standard precaution.
He worked in our biosafety zones.
Xavier was a disposal specialist.
Yes.
It's a high-risk position.
He worked with infected animal carcasses.
It says he was given VVA-50, a three-in-one vaccine for anthrax, botulism and smallpox.
Yes, all safe, approved, and sold all over the world.
Okay, thank you, Rose.
Do you think the company's vaccine is what made you sick? I know it did.
And that's why you're here today.
I'm here to get a sample of the vaccine I was given.
I want my doctor to analyze it.
VVA-50 has a shelf life of one year, Xavier.
There won't be any samples left of the ba You're lying! You're lying! He's a liar! He's the chief researcher here; He designs these vaccines.
He fired me personally.
He's accountable.
He has every reason to cover it up.
Maybe I can check it out.
No offense, you I don't trust.
Them I don't trust.
All right, Dr.
Ouellette's gonna be here any minute, then we're gonna get some answers.
Do you know this Dr.
Ouellette? Jack Ouellette.
He's an activist scientist.
Been crusading against vaccine manufacturers for year.
And there's no remaining samples to analyze? No.
Ben, let's get Xavier's wife down here.
We need to talk to her.
Copy that.
Xavier, there's no sample on the premises.
We checked it out.
No No No! Why should I believe you? You can check the records.
That entire batch will have been used or discarded by now.
It'll be in the records.
I wanna see those records.
I want Ouellette to see those records.
I want him to see everything! I wanna know exactly what I was given! I wanna know exactly what was in it! Something you put inside me made me sick.
I hear you.
Look at me.
I hear you, all right? Now, if RDA gives Dr.
Ouellette addresses, will you please let these people finish their work here? You make that happen, you got a deal.
Boss, Xavier's wife is here.
Valerie Simmons? Okay, we need to talk over here.
No, no.
This shouldn't be happening.
They forced him to take the vaccines.
You know that, right? It was a condition of his employment when he started here for his "protection.
" Compulsory vaccinations.
Just like the Gulf War soldiers.
Didn't work out too well for some of them either.
Soon after that he started getting these muscle cramps, spasms in his arms and shoulders, migraines.
RDA's in-house doctor said that It was all in his mind, like what he needed was a better attitude.
But Xavier kept getting worse.
After they fired him, we tracked down this doctor who studies vaccines and their side effects.
And this was Dr.
Ouellette? Yeah, and we went for a second opinion.
Lou Gherig's disease.
I've ruled out pretty much every other possibility.
Now, the EMG confirms it.
What is that, like a Brain disease? Over the next few years, your motor functions will continue to decline, you'll lose control of your movement.
And there's No The als runs its course in two to three years, sometimes more.
Um, then respiratory failure sets in.
But his mind will be normal? Even though you can't move or speak, it's still you in there.
Three years So let me ask you this, this in-house doctor, why didn't he discover the als? Convenient, isn't it? And you tried legal action? Three different lawyers.
They all said sorry for your luck, there's no proof the vaccines made him sick.
That's why Xavier was trying to get a sample for testing.
Why the gun? He had no choice.
They weren't exactly gonna let him walk in the front Dr.
Oh, and he's dying.
You got that part, right? Okay, I need to go to work here and I just need you to wait outside with this officer, please.
It's okay.
Xavier doesn't have a lot to lose.
It's gonna be tricky working him down from this.
Dr.
Ouellette? He just called me on the phone.
I have nothing to do with this man's actions here today.
Well, that's good.
So let me cut to the chase.
Could the vaccine have caused Xavier's illness? There's a preservative that's used in some vaccines, squalene, that's recently been linked to als.
I know RDA has experimented with squalene in the past.
None of our squalene vaccines ever went to market.
Okay, look, here's the deal.
Xavier wants you to go through RDA's documentation and to tell him whether or not that vaccine is safe.
Can you do that? If RDA will allow it, absolutely.
Rose, you made that call? Yes, I've cleared it with our CEO but no documents leave this building.
Okay, Jules.
Xavier, Dr.
Ouellette is here.
RDA gave him access to their files.
How do I know? Xavier, I'm right here.
I'm gonna check into this for you, all right? Make sure they gave you what they said they gave you.
Okay, good.
Good.
Okay, let's go.
Raf, see if you can find us some different eyes in.
On it.
Do you remember our deal? Thank you.
Okay, we've lost a lot of time.
We have to move fast.
We need to put these babies to bed.
Ed, got a window behind the subject.
Now, stay ready, in case things go sideways.
You can search our inventory on the computer over there.
Backup hard copies filed under vaccine number over there.
Fast is good, doctor.
Facts don't lie.
This won't take long.
How you holding up? I'm dying.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You know, first, it was just small stuff.
My muscles started twitching for no reason.
I got a little numbness and tingling.
Didn't think anything of it.
But this disease, it moves fast.
Soon, I'm not gonna be able to feed myself.
I'm not gonna be able to move, or dress, or swallow.
Or speak.
I can handle it, so can Val.
I mean that's That's the way it is.
But Gracie She's gonna grow up watching me lose control, one piece at a time, and waste away.
She's not even gonna remember the sound of my voice.
You have als? What? Like you didn't know.
Als is very difficult to diagnose.
I'm sorry our doctors missed it.
I really had no idea.
It's hereditary, right? Is there a member of your family perhaps who? There isn't.
I thought you had work to do.
Jules, Xavier's living under a death sentence.
He's waging war against RDA.
Is the only thing that's keeping him going.
He needs validation.
Xavier, between me and you, you don't strike me as an unstable, paranoid man.
More like somebody who's trying to make sure other people don't get sick like you did.
If I can prove that I'm right, then the money from the lawsuit will help take care of Valerie and Grace.
There's nothing else that I can do for them.
Do you have a picture of her? Of Grace? Look at those cheeks.
How old is she? She just turned three.
Aw, that's such a great age.
She's adorable.
De-escalating.
Nice, Jules.
Facing the end of the road.
Sound familiar? All right, we've got an answer.
Xavier's not gonna like it.
Jules, you're in there, it's your call.
If he escalates, Sam and Raf move on your order.
Copy.
Yeah, Ouellette.
Xavier.
I know this isn't the answer you're hoping to hear.
The vaccine is unrelated to your als.
That was, uh That was so quick.
I checked everything, the ingredients list, phased trial results, safety records, chain of custody right down to your dose.
I don't think the vaccine had anything to do with your als.
What're you saying? You think there's no link? You're telling me there's no link? I'm afraid not.
I'm sorry, Xavier.
That's impossible! Come on, there's gotta be some kind of mistake, or they doctored the results or something! Right?! Ouellette?! Jules, I'm coming in.
Okay, just give him a minute.
This is a lot to accept.
It's the only explanation! Xavier, there is nothing that happened here today that cannot be undone.
No, no, no! Listen, I'm not paranoid.
Okay, I've read about these cover-ups, right? They doctored their file or they deleted something, or they paid people off.
Xavier, you got what you came for VVA-50 was his baby, of course he's gonna try to protect it.
You've got the answer, you need to face We can check it out, Xavier.
Drop your weapon.
There's no way I would've got through if they knew the real truth.
Xavier, put your weapon down now! You did this to me.
You drop your weapon right now! You lied to my face! And you can lie to me, to my face?! Drop your weapon right now! - Drop your weapon! - You let him go! Drop your weapon! Drop your weapon right now! Spike? Lockdown should happen automatically.
Sounds like it just did.
Jules! Jules! Jules! Jules, status! Come on, Jules.
Jules, status.
What's your status? I'm okay.
Puncture wound.
There's a piece of shrapnel.
It hit an artery.
Keep pressure on it.
We got injured, I need to get in there now.
Easy, Sam, easy.
We gotta know what we're dealing with here.
What the hell happened? Team?! Logan fired.
We got a major spill.
The refrigeration unit broke open.
The bullet must have hit the HP vapor generator.
How much filiform was stored in there? At least twenty units.
And at room temperature it thaws, right? And the spores become airborne.
The pathogen meter's 900 and rising.
The good news is the lockdown itself accelerates the vent.
It should bring the pathogen levels down under control.
No, it won't.
The vents aren't on.
The venting system must've been knocked off-line when Xavier sabotaged the power generator.
'Kay, Raf I need you in that vent room now.
I'm on my way.
Ed, we gotta go in.
I'm suiting up now.
1200 parts per million and climbing.
Come on, come on, come on.
My leg! I can't feel my leg! It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
We're going to have to reset it.
Okay, keep her leg steady.
Hands here.
Here! Okay Okay It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
I need to find something for a splint.
Jules, can you hear me? Mh-mm.
Sniper breathing, okay? Slow it down, and hold.
Lower your heart rate, you'll lose less blood.
We're coming right in.
We'll get you soon, okay? If filiform's inhaled, what happens, Rose? If it's under a micron, hits the bloodstream with every breath.
If you inhale over the threshold, there's no going back.
There's no real symptoms at first, but But what? Ultimately? Severe respiratory problems, your skin turns blue, you vomit blood.
It's terminal.
Okay, under that threshold, is it treatable? With antibiotics.
The threshold is? Anything over 2500's fatal.
Xavier, this is Ed Lane with the SRU.
I need everybody out of that room immediately.
Let's just get you some fresh air, and then I promise you we will resolve anything you need.
Where are you doing? She needs help to get out of here.
Xavier, we're all leaving right now, through the decontamination chamber, one at a time.
No! Nobody's leaving here until I get some answers.
The venting system is off-line.
You know the damage that filiform does.
Why won't you admit it?! I'll admit anything, anything that you want I want you to tell the truth! But the truth is you just got sick, Xavier.
It's terrible, it's unfair, but it's not my fault.
He can't face the truth; means accepting his own death.
Now the crusade he and Valerie are on was all for nothing.
Maybe it's hard to hear, but maybe the vaccine didn't make you sick.
How could you possibly understand this? This is your last chance! Do not raise your weapon! Ed, I'm in the vent room.
Talk to me, Raf.
It looks like the whole thing's shut down.
Our best bet is to reinitialize the system manually.
Doctor, I'm going to ask you one last time before I put any more of my team in danger, is there any possibility that Xavier could be right.
Dr.
Ouellette only if squalene were present in the VVA-50's composition.
But I'd have seen that in the records.
And hypothetically, if there had been a cover-up? No.
Not possible, not without doctor in the records.
Not without employees being aware.
Or employees being let go? What kind of employees? Depends on the nature of the cover-up.
What are you doing? Operations manager? Safety supervisor? Quality control inspector? If it were a contamination issue, definitely.
There is no cover-up.
That many people were let go? Last year.
The entire safety operations team, just before Xavier was hired.
Rose, you replaced your entire safety department? What, did you get a result you didn't like? As I said before, our safety operations manager left and took his entire team with him.
I was sorry to see them go.
Huh.
Spike, Eddie, think we need another angle on this.
Copy.
Ben, get me RDA's CEO on the line.
Copy.
Rose, if you're protecting someone, now is the time to come clean.
Boss, Dr.
Bergan's on the line.
Patch him through.
Sergeant, I understand the situation at the lab still isn't resolved.
Yeah, your former employee remains convinced that one of RDA's vaccines made him sick.
That's just not possible.
Doctor, I'm telling you, a minute ago, I would've agreed with you.
Excuse me? Dr.
Bergan, are you aware of any problems with operational safety at RDA? Absolutely not.
So, you're not aware that your entire safety team was replaced last year? Rose told me they moved on by choi.
.
And so she replaces an entire safety department, and you don't even raise an eyebrow? I trust Rose implicitly.
Her vision and leadership have single-handedly made this company profitable again.
Dr.
Bergen, I've got four lives in jeopardy at your lab, I'm gonna need your full cooperation here.
You have it, I promise you.
I'm taking you up on that.
Jules, slow your breath, okay? Count it out, keep your heart rate real low.
Shhh! Hang on, hang on.
Xavier we're running out of time.
Jules? Jules? Jules! Okay Is she okay? She's lost a lot of blood.
You've gotta apply constant pressure, - Okay? - Okay.
All right, keep your head down.
Okay.
Xavier, she needs medical attention, okay? You all do.
You need to let everybody out now.
Xavier! How can this possibly help you? Okay! Okay! Okay! They can go, but he stays.
They can't walk, Xavier! They need our help.
You're staying! Jules, I'm on my way.
Are you hearing what I'm hearing? A civilian's at risk.
He knows what he's doing.
The decontamination chamber's effective for only two people at a time.
Rose, can he take an oxygen tank in there with him for the others? Too risky.
The air's thick with hydrogen peroxide vapors.
Introduce enriched oxygen and the whole thing can blow up.
Did you see that? You wanna write that down, and put it in your file.
Priority of life is observed.
Noted.
Sarge is that you? Hey, Jules, you stay with me.
Yeah, you hang in there, okay? I couldn't get through to him.
No, you did everything you could, you hear me? You did everything you could.
You do me proud.
You just hang on.
Jules, you just hang on.
Raf, come on, buddy.
Anything? Doing everything I can.
He's here.
Let's do this.
It's my boss, I need to take this.
Yes? Rose, I was just questioned by the police.
The less you know the better.
I appreciate that.
But just so it's clear moving forward, the safety team you replaced They found irregularities in the tank cleaning system The presence of squalene in a large batch of VVA-50.
We disagreed about the risk, and I gave them a generous incentive to move on, and then I cleared up.
I see.
And that batch wasn't destroyed? Henry, you know how much a batch that size is worth.
It was our entire margin for the year.
I couldn't just throw it away.
I didn't realize.
So we've distributed a tainted vaccine, and Xavier was one of a number of people who received it? We've had no customer complaints, and there's no actual proof that our vaccine made him sick.
It was my call, Henry.
Your call pulled us out of the red.
Yes, it did.
It earned you a bonus.
Yes, it did.
Thank you for your honesty, Rose.
Yeah, thank you for your honesty.
Jules, you get that? Your boss was calling from our station.
The miracle of the modern headset.
The whole team's connected to one set of ears.
Xavier, it's done.
Help me up.
Xavier! Xavier, Rose confessed.
She confessed! She confessed.
There were safety issues.
RDA gave you a tainted vaccine, okay? Gave you a tainted vaccine.
She, she admitted She admitted to the cover-up.
She did.
Now you have to go.
The decontamination chamber only works for two, so I want you to go now.
We have to get outta here.
We have to go.
You go first.
You go first; I'm already sick.
Come on.
Come on.
God, I'm so sorry.
Raf, Xavier's still not out.
Almost there.
Ah, come on, come on.
I love you.
I love you.
Come on.
Be ready, guys, she's lost a lot of blood.
I got it.
Get her outta there.
Let's go, let's go! Come on, Jules, come on.
We're gonna give you an IV and then we're gonna get you to the hospital.
So down it seems the reassuring dream I will let you hold onto me always knowing what it means 'cause falling down I love you.
Is what I found You're gonna be okay, Jules.
But wait 'cause I can see the silence I confronted you with your suspension, you agreed to it.
But when you saw your people out there were at risk, what'd you do? You went high-noon on me, at great risk to your chances of getting your job back.
Now, why is that? You saw what happened out there.
Priority of life was observed.
Today it was.
We don't know about tomorrow.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Your sergeant's suspension orders.
You don't get it, do you? I've seen this team, I've read the reports You don't see what this team does, you don't live the job.
If it wasn't for him Eddie Sam and Jules? That was the right call.
You can't say that.
It was the right call because it was your call, and that's why we're here, and that's why we're team one.
So don't come in here and tell me otherwise.
Okay.
So here's the thing: I like this team.
I like your sergeant, I trust him.
The problem is he doesn't trust himself.
Team one is off of probation as of today.
Regarding Callaghan and Braddock, based on what I've seen today, I will make a personal appeal to the chief to reverse his decision to split them up.
Until that time, they will remain on team one.
Thank you.
How is she? She's stable, sir.
She'll be all right.
I'm glad to hear it.
Sergeant Parker, you have some thinking to do.
I'm gonna give you one week to decide if you wanna continue to lead this team.
Your team trusts your judgment, so do I.
One week.
So Go to the gun range, use this for target practice? What do you think? No, Eddie.
Not just yet.
