Flashpoint s05e04 Episode Script

Come on Where are you, Rebecca? Rebecca Rebecca! Oh my God! Are you okay? Stuart Spike, can you get it so we see what he's seeing? Rebecca Moments away, boss.
You thought you'd be my hero? You thought you'd just rescue me? It wasn't supposed to go like this.
This isn't some game, Stuart.
These are dangerous men, they have Eric out there right now looking for the leak.
Do you understand? They're looking for you! Okay.
Okay.
I'm-I'm gonna tell the cops where you are right now.
Just don't, please If you call the cops, I'm dead! Do you understand? I'm dead! Okay, I got one for you.
Hypothetically speaking and I'm just speaking hypothetically here if someone you know is about to do something bad, is it your responsibility to stop them? How bad? You want a ten-point scale? - Yes.
- Okay.
Um, if one is not picking up after your dog, and ten is Murdering Santa Claus Right in front of the elves - santacide.
I'm glad that we're getting so scientific about this.
Of course.
Anyways, on that scale, well, this is about a seven.
Seven that sounds criminal.
It is.
Okay.
Why didn't you say? Yeah, if someone's about to commit a seven, then you call the cops.
That's what I thought.
What are you doing? Are you having an Internet fight? No.
I'm just making conversation.
Okay, well I gotta go.
But Stuart, I just wanted to let you know that I got an "a" on my final.
Are you kidding me? That's Rebecca, that's great.
So thanks for that.
No, that is all you.
No, it isn't.
You helped me a ton.
So I just I wanted to let you know how grateful I am.
It's no problem.
You're a great friend.
Likewise.
Ugh! Okay.
Blah! Mushy mush.
I gotta go.
Bye.
Likewise? Good job, Stuart.
No, it was a disaster.
It's not spicy enough.
See, that's why you never cook without an assistant.
- You offering? - No, you can't fool me.
Oh, you Okay.
What? You ever gonna tell her? Who? Why are you communicating in looks? Spike, you're incapable of walking past Winnie's desk without trying to make her laugh.
Oh, wow, Leah, that's so far off.
You should tell her how you feel.
It's sort of embarrassing how far off that is.
Point is, Spike, there's no upside in keeping it secret.
Well, I'm not keeping anything secret.
You're right about that.
Hey, Spike, can you come take a look at this? Excuse me, Leah, I've got work to do.
Mm-hm.
Yeah.
- What's up? - I don't know, this just popped up on my screen.
Well, did you open an email or a link? No, no.
I didn't do anything.
It just came out of nowhere.
According to that timestamp, the image is live.
A prank? Doubt it.
You gotta penetrate through some pretty thick security to get to our internal network.
An attack? We better get boss.
See if anybody else is getting this.
Okay.
Man, check this out.
What do you got, Spike? A roadside cafe.
It's a rogue signal.
Whoever's feeding us is following this guy around like a live TV director.
Where is that? Those power lines.
- That's Highway 7.
Halton Truck Stop.
Just talked to IT.
Nobody else is reporting the signal.
So this is for us? Guys, right there.
We got a hot call, Halton Truck Stop.
Let's move! Winnie, a chopper up, APB on both vehicles, and see if cruisers are in the area.
You got it.
Boss, video gives us a partial plate on the car but nothing to ID the rig.
Copy, Spike.
Share what you got with the unis.
Winnie, get me someone from auto theft.
You got it.
Just talked to the security company at the truck stop.
Nobody saw a thing.
Now how is that, Jules? Weren't we watching through their cameras? Well, it seems so, but they record on a loop.
Nobody was monitoring.
Someone was.
Well, our tipster must've hacked into the system, tapped into the signal and routed it to us.
That's great; Hacked their system, hacked our system This guy doesn't have a phone? Maybe it's a rival gang.
They wanna remain anonymous.
Boss, I've got Detective Wendy Travis from the Auto Theft Squad.
Put her through.
Sergeant, thanks for contacting me.
I understand you have a semi-truck theft? Yeah, that's right.
Halton Truck Stop.
Let me guess, driver abducted? Sounds like you know this crew.
Well, I know their work.
My unit's been tracking them for months.
Okay, please talk to us.
They're a slick operation high-value targets only, late-model rigs, expensive cargo.
Well, if it's about property, why the abduction? Well, they're buying time.
They grab the driver, strip out the rig's GPS, throw both in the back of a support vehicle and then continue along the truck's route.
So the dispatcher doesn't suspect a thing.
He has no reason to.
Looks like everything's rolling normal.
The thieves then take the stolen rig to an unknown location, they unload the cargo and chop the truck.
That's the last we ever see of it.
Then, hours later, the driver shows up at the side of the road.
Harmed? Well, sometimes.
Last driver took a tire iron to the head.
Three days in a coma.
Okay, team, these guys are gonna get violent if we push them, so let's be cautious.
Listen, sergeant, this outfit's stolen four million dollars in trucks and cargo in the last year, and my unit hasn't even had a sniff.
How did SRU get on top of this? Tell you the truth, Detective, we're not entirely sure.
Suspect vehicle heading southbound on Highway 427.
Team one, the car's been spotted heading southbound on the 427.
Two cruisers in pursuit.
Okay, tell them we're on our way.
Tell them to hang back.
Sam, Jules, you're with us on the car.
Spike, Leah, you are on the rig.
Copy.
Car just took exit on the County road 50, and chopper's got a visual on the semi.
Headed westbound on service road 33, just crossed Bellmont.
Here.
Some farmland, undeveloped forest.
Good visibility, no exits.
Let's set our net.
Team, we've spotted the car.
Go, Eddie.
Can we box him in? If the whole team was here, but not with those cruisers.
If we shoot the tires, he could ride the rims for miles.
There's a hostage in there, we gotta end this.
Sam, pit manoeuvre; Hang back, I'll take point.
Let's go.
Got it.
Bring it back.
A bit more.
Bit more.
Good.
Officer Scarlatti? Detective Travis.
We put a hail out on all the frequencies, so whoever's driving that truck isn't listening.
Let's hope he's a visual person.
Right.
Ed, in position.
All right, hang on.
And showtime! Out of the vehicle now! Out of the vehicle now! Down on the ground now! Do it now! On the ground! Hands behind your back! Hands behind your back! Do it now! All right, buddy.
You're okay.
Feet first.
I got ya.
Here, I got ya.
- You're okay.
- Here you go.
Where's my rig? It's all right, sir, we'll get your truck back.
I don't care about the truck! It's the cargo; It's full of Anhydrous Ammonia.
Pull the roadblock! Tear it down! - What? - Now! Now! Talk to me, Spike.
Boss, Anhydrous Ammonia is a pressurized liquid gas.
It's very toxic and extremely volatile.
If that rig gets into a wreck, it's gonna blow everything sky-high.
Guys, go! Come on! Get the cars out! Go! Move! Move! Go! Go! Go! Come on! Oh, come on.
Come on.
What're you doing? Don't lose him.
Boss, that truck was not gonna stop.
Truck's continuing along 33.
We can intercept at Dixie Road.
And then what? We got an awfully determined subject here.
We can stop it with a fifty cal, steel core round.
Hit the intake manifold, engine stops dead.
Ed, that's ten square inches, traveling 80 Miles an hour, hidden under a hood.
Boss, we can't wait this out here.
That truck gets into a populated area, it's gonna go from bad to worse.
Okay, set it up, Eddie.
Detective Travis, we need to lock down that highway, evac the whole area.
I'm on it, sergeant.
Jules, why ammonia? Bombs? Oklahoma, Oslo, Delhi - all ammonia-based bombs.
But it's also used in methamphetamine drug-making.
And this crew, so far they've stolen electronic equipment, medical supplies, machinery.
Stuff with street value.
Yeah, I don't think these guys are terrorists.
I think they're opportunists.
Spike, what about our tipster? Well, all I can say at this point is that he's good, boss.
To infiltrate our internal servers, not to mention remotely hijack our CCTV system, that's big league.
Does that mean our comm is compromised? I don't know.
I can tell you he's been in our system for awhile.
How do you know that? Well, he had to tunnel through the firewall, and set up some kind of encrypted backdoor controls.
It takes time.
That goes for the cameras he hijacked too.
He would've had to crack them in advance.
So this guy's been planning this day for a while.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Give me one sec, Recci, I'm right In the middle of something.
Okay.
We'll cover below.
All right, be careful.
Ed, the intake manifold runs along the top of the block, about three feet back from the grill.
Okay, Spike, we got it.
We're in position.
For a clean shot, you'd wanna hit it three inches off center.
Left or right? Hard to say without knowing of the engine's stock.
You're just gonna have to find it.
But the main thing is, you aim low, you're into radiator, and that thing can rumble on for miles.
If you miss high, you could deflect off the hood, hit the driver And we got a runaway bomb.
Here it comes.
Should I call back? No.
Sorry.
Hang on one sec This is almost over.
Contact, left of center.
No effect.
Come on, Eddie.
Two hundred fifty Two hundred.
Jules got it! Target hit.
Let's move.
Show us your hands! Hands where we can see them, right now! SRU! Get out of the vehicle! SRU! Get out of the truck! - On your knees! - Get down right now! Who is this guy? What is this? Where is he? Where is who? One sec, Becca.
Rebecca?! I gotta go, Stu.
I'll call you back.
No.
No, no, no.
Becca, hold what's going on? Anybody call? Did anybody come by? No no.
What's going on? Come back to me, Rebecca.
Are you sure? No, no, no.
No.
No! Okay, look, we gotta go out for a bit.
Eric, just calm down! Talk to me.
What's the matter? Everything ! Everything's the matter! No! What's he doing there? Come on.
No, hold on.
What kind of trouble are you in? Okay.
Right now, let's go.
No! Get off! I'm not going with you.
Wait.
- Your ride's here.
- Let's go to the kitchen.
Where are we going? No one's going to the kitchen! We're going to the warehouse.
Think, think.
- I'm not talking to you.
- Relax.
I'm not ask you, all right? I'm telling you! Relax, okay? I'm going! Don't tell me to relax! Damn it! Go! Ok.
Sit tight.
Sit tight.
Sit tight.
Come on, come on.
.
Yes, that's right.
Check it, check it, check it! I'm not asking you! I'm not asking you, all right? I'm telling you! I'm telling you! Team one, check your computers.
We got another video coming through.
I'm sending it to you now.
Look at it, look at it, look at it, look at it.
Relax, okay? I'm going! Don't tell me to relax! Go! Good.
Come on.
Are you kidding me? Spike, can you tell where that is? No.
It's a personal webcam.
There should be an ip address, but it's buried.
No, no.
Come on.
- We're going! - Go! Boss, I don't like it.
He's playing games with us here.
I don't like it either, Eddie.
Let's go! Winnie, send cruisers to 589 Claremont.
We got an armed abduction in progress.
We're on our way.
You got it.
Okay, team, talk to me.
Boss, I spoke to the landlord at 589 Claremont.
The apartment is rented to a Rebecca Vaughan and an Eric Moore.
Hey, boss, I think I got something, the guy at the house, he was also at the truck stop.
He's gotta be part of that crew.
That's a good bet, Ed.
Eric Moore.
Busted two years ago for selling stolen auto parts.
Three months probation.
So Eric was in on this deal, it went bad, and now he's in trouble.
That's good; That's starting to feel like something.
Yeah, but it still doesn't explain who's sending us messages.
Guys, we got it! Door's ajar; We're late to the party.
Quick and cautious, guys! Let's move! You ready? Spike, let's go! Hit it! Right there! Police! SRU! Police! SRU! - Clear! - Clear! Upstairs clear! Spike, I want you on top of the tipster.
Somehow he's at the center of this, and if we find him, we might find our abducted couple.
Copy that, boss.
Detective Travis.
Officer.
Sergeant.
Good to meet you.
Any luck with those men we apprehended? Zero.
Whoever they're working for, they're either fiercely loyal or just terrified.
Boss, I got a pay stub.
Eric Moore is a mechanic at Apex Freight.
They on your radar? A mid-sized transport company.
Above board as far as I know.
But they'd have equipment and storage.
They can easily process hot trucks.
Sure.
Where are they located? North.
Castlefield area.
That's where the rig was headed.
Let's pay 'em a visit.
Let's go.
Thanks, Detective.
In your office, boss.
Okay.
Mr.
Burnett, I can explain.
I need you to be quiet, Eric.
Have a seat.
Where's the girl? In the back.
Get her.
Mr.
Burnett, please just let me Well, the cops aren't at the door.
Let's call that good news.
Tell me something, Eric.
You were supposed to drive the truck.
What happened? The guy came out sooner than we expected.
You know, we got caught out of position, so we switched.
Who made that call? I did.
So you can see how this is a bit of a thing for me, Eric.
Mr.
Burnett, I promise you changed plan last minute; The SWAT team arrives; You're the only one who got away.
Eric; No, look, I swear to you, everything was running smooth.
Those cops came outta nowhere.
They just showed up! Ah It's Rebecca, right? What's going on? Rebecca, I'm Eric's boss.
I'm not sure if you know what that means.
I thought you were a mechanic? That's true.
But he has other responsibilities too.
Oh God, Eric, I thought you left that all behind Becca, not now, not now How could you lie to me like that?! No, Becca, just forget about it for a second, okay? We'll just deal with it later.
Are you done? Yeah.
Now, it's important to me that you understand exactly how serious this is.
Mr.
Burnett, hang on Today, Eric was in charge of a job and it didn't go very well.
No, please, Mr.
Burnett Please, please And that's gonna hurt me, see, because my clients are a very unforgiving group.
Just please can you just let us go? Mr.
Burnett, I swear to you, okay? I'm not the leak! So what's gonna happen now is Eric's gonna tell me exactly how exposed I am.
If I hear one false word Listen, okay? There's a security attendant at the truck stop lot! I paid him to turn a blind eye, and he seemed solid, but he must've caved.
Okay, that's the only explanation.
Okay, look, none of this will go back to the buyers.
I swear to God.
None of it will go back to you.
I'll clean this up.
I promise you, okay? I-I I'll bring you the leak.
Just let me do that.
Please, let me do that.
You have half an hour.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No, no.
She stays.
Wait.
You even think of going to the cops I'll kill her.
Eric Okay, Apex Freight, established in 1971, but ownership changed last year.
The new guy is Terry Burnett.
He took over last year, you say? Yeah, just before the truck thefts started.
A legit business gives him cover.
Facilities and payroll, and a means to launder profits hiding in plain sight.
Ed, building's located at the South end of an industrial park.
The intel's spotty.
These places go up as shells and get filled in over time.
Okay, team, lay up short.
Sam and I'll recon on foot.
Jules, Spike, how you making out? Rebecca Vaughan.
Steadily employed, taxes paid.
She's currently enrolled in night classes at a community college.
Boss, I've isolated the malware that's hijacked our vehicles security cameras.
The code's author goes by the name "rot 2".
Weird part is, there's no mention of him on the hacker boards.
Is that unusual? Well, an exploit like this, it's pretty elite stuff seizing control of the cameras, overriding activiation lights.
We're talking the ability to peer into people's homes undetected.
So you're saying there's an appetite for this technology.
I'm saying, in the hacker world, this guy could be a rock star.
But there's no mention of him or his code, and nobody's ever heard of him.
Okay, it's not about fame, it's not about profit.
It's about today.
Can you find him, Spike? I might be able to put eyes on him.
How, Spike? Because I'm gonna turn his own script against him.
Okay.
Keep us posted.
Did you say his handle is rot 2? Yeah, why? Well, she's taking design class, the folder's right here on her laptop.
Lessons online with a tutor.
Oh, that's nice.
Tutor.
Tutor.
Backwards.
Rot 2 rot 2.
Tutor backwards.
Rot 2.
You're brilliant.
That's brilliant.
Let's take a look at one of those lessons.
So the guy calls, saying that he might've forgotten something at the restaurant, but he's being all cagey about what it is.
Doesn't actually tell you what you're looking for.
Exactly.
So I go back to the table and what do I find? I don't know, I'm guessing not an umbrella.
Teeth.
- No - Yup.
No! Dentures.
Under the table.
Wh-what do you mean, from his pocket? No, like from his mouth.
It had like the glue on them and everything.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait Teeth are a big part of your face, Rebecca.
Yes they are, Stuart.
Yeah, you see what I have to deal with? Guy's just a kid.
That's why I have to do well in these classes, Stuart.
It's just-it's time I put the waitress life behind me, once and for all.
On that note I'm gonna get a tea, and then you and I are gonna go back to work.
Be back.
Hey, why do you do that? What? Do what? You always point the camera away when you get up.
I don't want my students peering into my life.
Well, surely I'm not just another student.
Um Okay, wow.
All right.
I thought we had something special.
You are special.
Mmm.
I'll be back.
Boss, I think we've got our hacker.
His name's Stuart.
He's got a relationship with Rebecca.
What kind of relationship? Well, he's her tutor, but it runs deeper.
He's in love with her.
Doesn't take a profiler to see it.
So the hacker loves the girl, but the girl's got a boyfriend.
The boyfriend's a crook, - so the hacker tries to get him busted.
- And the whole thing goes sideways.
I'm gonna track down the tutoring company.
They got cover, vantage, exits And there's civilian workers everywhere.
Come on, come on Gotcha! Boss, I'd like to introduce you to our hacker rot-2, first name Stuart.
Jules is getting more information.
Spike, can we talk to him? No, I had to modify the code to get though his defenses.
We can hear him, but he can't hear us.
Come on Where are you, Rebecca? Rebecca Rebecca! Oh my God Are you okay?! Stuart! Spike, can you get it so we see what he's seeing? Rebecca! Moments away, boss.
Stuart, how did you find me? It wasn't supposed to go like this.
I knew that Eric was lying to you about where he got his money from, about what he does.
What're you talking about? I told-I told the cops.
I told them about Eric's job.
You what? Because I see how he treats you.
I've seen it so many times.
I couldn't watch it anymore.
What do you mean you've seen how he treats me? I mean, you've told me about it.
That's not what you said.
Stuart, how do you know all this? Have you been spying on me? I just I just wanted to help.
Becca, listen.
Please listen to me.
I've never met anybody like you before.
We haven't met, Stuart! I know, I know, I know.
I know that! I mean, when I When I talk to you, I've never felt so close to anybody in my whole life.
You thought you'd be my hero? You thought you'd just rescue me? Oh God This isn't some game, Stuart.
These are dangerous men.
They've got Eric out there right now, looking for the leak.
Do you understand? They're looking for you.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm gonna fix it.
I'm-I'm gonna tell the cops where you are right now.
Just don't! Please, if you call the cops, I'm dead! Do you understand? I'm dead! I'm gonna make this right.
Rebecca; Don't, okay? Stay outta this! Stay outta my life.
Stuart, God, the last thing I need right now is more help from you! I'm sorry, please.
Okay, Eddie, we got a confirmation; Rebecca's inside.
She's under threat of violence.
We gotta move.
Sam I'm not seeing a clean approach.
They'll spot us coming.
What do you know about the trojan war? Not much.
Me neither.
Let's do it.
Detective Travis, we need more manpower here.
Copy that.
Hey, you see that? He's got a slight limp.
Yeah, thought I saw some stiffness in his hand too, same side, on the left.
One-sided paralysis.
Seems like a stroke.
Okay, Spike, Stuart tried to play hero today and it backfired.
You gotta get to this kid before he tries to put himself further into the line of fire.
Copy that.
Hey, what's up! Aghhh! You thought you could rat us out? What're you talking about? You have no idea what kinda trouble you're in.
You stay there, okay? And shut up! Eric.
I'm the one you're after.
Who is this? I'm the one that told the cops about you.
If you let Rebecca go, I can make this all go away.
How do you know about Rebecca? I know everything, Eric.
Let her go.
Deal with me.
All right.
All right, just tell me where you are.
Sir, I'm gonna need the truck and the jacket.
Stuart's address .
Apartment tower downtown.
Okay.
Wait.
Look Look, this is what you want.
This is it, right here.
That's everything I collected on your operation; That's photos, videos, transcripts.
Everything.
I wiped my hard drive.
That's it.
No one's ever gonna know.
You here alone? Yes.
So you can let Rebecca go, please.
Rebecca? Just who in the hell are you?! I'm-I'm Stuart.
My name is Stuart.
How did you know about today, Stuart? I studied you.
I watched you plan some of the jobs.
I watched you plan this job.
Oh, you followed us.
I didn't follow you, I watched you on the computers.
What? Why? Eric, come on, man, let's just get him to the boss.
I gave you everything you need.
On no! Wait! Start talking! Run for your lives! Go, now! Now! Police! Stop now! Right there! Hands in the air! On the ground! On the ground now! Stay there! Don't move! Get down on the ground now! Leah, with me! Let's move! Take the stairs.
Bottom of the South stairs clear and contained.
You stuck your nose into something, Stuart, and you don't just get to walk away now! Becca What is this? What is it? It's gotten to the point where I, I ask how his day was, and he gets defensive with me.
It's like by just expecting him to say words, I'm pointing out some kind of defect.
No, that can't work.
You're the only one that's putting any effort into the relationship.
It's not like that.
It sure seems like that.
It's not.
I mean, he gets me, you kn?? He knows me.
He knows what I need to work on, what I need to improve on.
He tells you what you need to improve on? He's right.
I mean, he makes mistakes too.
Stuart yeah, he stole cars.
Stuart, that was in the past.
He's changed.
Do you believe that, Becca? Or do you just Wanna believe that? Oh wow.
Stuart, it's starting to come together for me.
Once you get me out of the picture and she runs into your arms Is that the basic idea? Well, you know, full points for taking your shot there, Stuart.
I just-I just got one question.
What kind of twisted fantasyland do you live in, man? Aghhh! You know, all that talk What, you think that means that she's into you? That it means you're safe? Agh! It means you're nothing.
You're not an option, Stuart.
You're a girlfriend to her.
A buddy A gimpy, lonely little buddy Eric, let's go, man.
Tell me one thing How often did you spy on her? That's not what it was for.
You're telling me you never snuck a look? No.
No? No.
Maybe when she was undressed to take a shower or changing for work? I swear.
I swear.
Late some night, you're feeling lonely, right, so you turn on the computer just for a second, right? There's no harm, right? You just wanna see her.
Yeah, maybe watch her sleep, watch her breathe.
Oh yeah.
Did you tell her that, Stuart? Did you share that with your special friend? That you are a sick, lying pervert did you do that? I lost my job because of you! I lost my girlfriend.
I lost everything I've worked for! Everything! You pathetic! Little! Puke! Okay.
Stay away! Come on, come on.
- Eric! - Get off! Get off! Come on! Come on! - Let's go! - Get off! Do you want some more?! SRU! Get down ! Get down on the ground! Down on the ground! Get down on the ground right now! Hands on your back! Hands on your back! Don't you move! Subject located! Second floor! Drop your weapon! Drop the blade! Weapons down! Okay.
Drop the gun! Do it now! Stuart?! Where'd you go? Stuart?! Stuart! Wait! Stuart! No! Just don't! Don't! Don't come near me! Okay, man, I'm gonna stay right here! Stuart, you were trying to help someone you care about today.
You were trying to put some bad characters behind bars.
Those are noble goals.
I saw you on the road today.
You're the one who looked in the camera.
That's right.
How do you know what I did today? I spied on you.
I tapped into your webcam.
I used your program against you, and I went into your private video files.
Then you know that Rebecca's in trouble because of me, because of my stupidity, and my lies Isn't she? Isn't she?! No! No! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Stuart! Stuart! Don't come any closer now! Put the gun on the floor! Do it now! Terry Burnett.
Back off, now! My name's Greg Parker.
Oh, you've got yourself in a bit of a fix, haven't you, Mr.
Greg Parker? How's that, sir? Well, I'm not gonna give up and you're not gonna shoot me.
I don't wanna shoot you.
No, you are not gonna shoot me.
You can't shoot me.
That's how this works.
Okay.
You wanna talk me through that, sir? It's real simple.
You put a bullet in me, I can still squeeze off a shot.
It'll be my last gesture on earth.
Hell, it could just be a muscle spasm.
Could be my finger hitting the trigger on the way down.
Either way, it does make a difference to this girl And her blood'll be on your hands, Parker! So I'll tell you what.
Tell your guys to back down, clear me a path, and let me outta here.
I can't do that just yet, sir.
Look, I am not interested in standing around, Parker! Just stay there! I'm not going anywhere! Listen to me You took a chance today.
You looked out beyond your life and you imagined something better, and you went for it.
You know what? Maybe it was foolish, maybe you overreached.
Yeah, you think? But the point is it happens.
My God, Stuart, it happens all the time.
When the heart's involved, we botch things up.
It's how we're wired.
But the thing is it can all be made better all of it.
You know why? Because you acted out of love.
And when you do that, those mistakes you make, they can be corrected all of it Now, you made some questionable choices today that you are gonna feel bad about for a while, but there is one choice you coulda made that you would have regretted forever.
You know what that is? It's doing nothing.
Doing nothing is easy, Stuart.
To hide away, to put up walls.
The hardest part is reaching out, and you did that.
You took that chance.
Today is a beginning; It's not an end.
All right, we're ready to move this thing along, Mr.
Burnett, but you need to know something first.
You need to know that there are targets clusters of nerves, lobes in the brain, that'll put a person down instantly.
We call these kill points.
You hit one and there are no last gestures, no muscle spasms.
You just switch off like a light.
Now they're small, these kill points about the size of a dime but to these three officers aiming at you right now, who spend fourteen hours a week in a gun range training for just this situation, they look like beach balls.
We're about to move to the next stage of this thing, Mr.
Burnett, so you tell me How do you want this to go? Put the gun on the floor right now, Mr.
Burnett, and step away from the girl.
Do it now! Yes, sir! Thank you, sir! That's a good choice.
- On your knees! - Get down right now! - On your knees! - Get down! Get down! Yes, yes, yes! It's okay, it's okay.
Kill points? Just came to me in the moment, Eddie.
Spike, subject is secure.
Hostage is safe.
Rebecca is safe.
Stuart, Rebecca is safe.
My sergeant just told me.
She's unharmed.
Okay It still doesn't excuse what I did It doesn't mean she's gonna forgive me.
Maybe not.
I'm no good out there.
No.
That's where you're wrong.
Yeah? How do you know? Because I watched you with Rebecca and I saw how you talk to her, and I saw your honesty, your generosity, and I saw an open heart.
And I saw you listen And you know what, Stuart? That's it; That is the ball game.
If you can do that, everything else, it will come.
You really believe that? Oh, I know it.
You and I, we're not so different.
Yeah, right.
Look at you.
It's mostly gear.
Trust me.
You think you can come over on my side? I'd feel a lot better about that.
You used my own malware against me, huh? It's a beautiful piece of code.
It's hugely illegal on so many levels, but it's really It's quite spectacular, buddy.
Can you come back on my side? Come on.
Right here.
I've got you, bud.
There you go.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.
maybe we'll come back some day you see how we've grown carve our names on everything Rebecca I am so sorry.
Who did that to you? It doesn't matter now.
Did Eric do that, Stuart? Yeah.
I was worried about losing your friendship.
You think maybe we could just start over again? I don't know.
Can we be straight with each other? Yeah.
You see the fingers on this hand? From a stroke.
I've known for ages.
Are you kidding me? How? Because I called your supervisor after our first session to tell him how great you are and he told me.
I Okay.
Well, in terms of big, scary revelations, that's kinda my best card.
So Hey, Winnie.
Hey, what's up? Are you all right? Uh, what? Yeah.
No.
Uh It's just, it's been brought to my attention that Wait, rewind.
Would you like to go out to dinner with me sometime? Spike, you're asking me out?! I am.
Well, I don't know what to say.
Tongue-tied; That's gotta be a good sign.
Yeah, no I just Um, I'm flattered, but I don't date cops.
Ever? I'm sorry.
It's just my rule.
Okay.
Just so I know, is this one of those rules where you use it just to let guys down easy? No! No? Like one of those rules where the perfect guy comes along and the rule would go out the window? No, no, no.
It's one of those rules that It just reminds me that I need balance in my life.
I mean, the perfect guy just came along.
Okay.
I've got something you've got something we've got something
