Flashpoint s05e10 Episode Script

Shots fired! It's the boy.
Let me talk to him, please.
Cole, we can't take that risk! I've got the solution.
Stay down.
Ed, what's the call? Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay, all right? I don't want to go.
I don't want you to go either, but you know I'm going away for a while.
Hey! Hey! Look at me, look at my lips.
You're gonna learn how to sign better, you're gonna meet new friends, and we'll be together again.
Do you understand? You're gonna love living at the school with us, Noah.
He doesn't know sign language that well.
We taught ourselves our own.
Don't worry, we'll get him up to speed in no time.
Hey hey, buddy.
You have to go.
Please.
Do it for me.
I love you.
I love you.
You're doing the right thing here, Cole.
He'll understand that soon.
Let me show you something.
You think that'll get their attention? Let's do this.
Dean Cornell.
Come on, buddy, they don't send rejection letters a package like that.
And I was just getting used to having you around, too.
Hey Maybe I won't go then.
Well, if you're gonna be a lawyer, you're gonna need an undergraduate degree.
Pfft.
Come here.
Congratulations.
Thanks, dad.
Okay, tell your mom.
Uh you know what, maybe later.
Buddy, it's only an hour time difference, she's gonna want to know right away.
Dad, not now I just I'm just way late.
I really gotta get going.
Okay.
Congratulations.
Thanks, dad.
So the brunch goes to 12, the budget committee meets at 12:30.
This afternoon, we have the YMCA coming in, and the redistricting report to look over.
Is breathing on the schedule, Adam? Sunday's open.
Everything okay? She just applied for sole custody of the boys.
I'm sorry to hear that, Adam.
Marion.
Senator Drury.
Marion, would you do me a favour.
This woman has been following me all morning.
Could you please make sure that she is thoroughly checked.
Good morning, Mrs.
Drury.
The senator putting you to work today? Yes, he's roped me into another charity brunch, but he promised he'd have me back in my office by noon.
Which is gonna be tough if we don't get a move on, senator.
See now, don't fooled, Marion, because these two, they are the real bosses.
I'm looking at a code 400, main hall.
Hot call.
Suspicious bag, unattended, Brookstone Place.
We've got a threat called in at 9:05, anonymous.
They call it in, it could be a hoax.
Or maybe they don't wanna take any lives, just destroy property, make a statement.
Hell of a publicity stunt.
So what's being targeted? Brookstone Place is a private building.
Yeah, but several senators have their regional offices in a secured wing.
And the bag was left just outside security check.
I've got Brookstone's security supervisor on the line, Ron Whiteside.
Patch him through.
Mr.
Whiteside, it's Sergeant Parker with the strategic response unit.
How far are you with your emergency response plan? We're evacuating the building as fast as possible.
That's good, we'll meet you out front.
I'll sweep with Leah, look for stragglers.
Spike and I have got the hot zone.
Spike, let's move! - Mr.
Whiteside? - Yeah, that's right.
Greg Parker, Jules Callaghan.
I'm assuming you've got security cameras in there? We sure do.
Come with me, we're gonna patch 'em through to the truck.
Gotcha.
No bigger than a carry-on.
Pack enough tnt in there, you could make the whole building disappear.
This way, people! Move! Let's go! Please evacuate the building! This way! 'Kay, let's secure the exits.
Ammonium nitrate? And nitromethane.
Prime ingredients for a fertilizer bomb.
Oklahoma City.
Yeah, but set-ups wrong; should be 60-40 ammonium nitrate to nitromethane.
That a new compound? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
He knew the cameras were up high; he must have cased the place.
See here? No timer on the detonator.
What is it, mote controlled? It's gotta be.
Then why's he waited this long to detonate? The building's clear.
I hear you, Sam.
Okay, move back from the building, please! Babycakes says One lame duck detonator; not sure it was properly connected to the booster.
So does the bomb go off? It doesn't.
I don't think it was meant to.
So they faked the bomb and the bomb threat? What's the play here? Keep us busy? They force an evacuation, it puts a lot of bodies in one place.
It creates confusion.
Okay, team, let's check the crowd.
Our guy might still be in the area.
Move back from the building! Yeah.
We're fine.
Sir, I'm gonna need you to move back.
Move further from the building, please.
Keep moving, let's go! Move back from the building! Walk! Come with me, don't turn back.
Keep moving! Let's go! I gotta take this, excuse me.
Mark?! Ungh! Mark! Mark! Mark! Back off! - Let him go! - Charlotte! Back off! Charlotte, do as he- Stay back! Do as he says! Let's go! Help! Help! Somebody help me! My husband's been kidnapped! Help! I-I saw him take my husband.
He had a gun.
Ma'am, you got a description? H-he had a dark jacket on, he was just about 6 foot tall, brown hair, about 30, 35.
No joy! Nothing here either! They must've had a car ready; an escape plan.
Winnie we need an APB on Senator Drury.
Right away.
What's going on? S-s-somebody took mark.
Th is my husband's aide, Adam.
Adam, can we get access to the senator's office? Yeah, anything I can do.
Charlotte, we have surveillance tapes we'd like you to look at.
Of course.
Find his phone and toss it, so they can't track his GPS And careful, he might have another one.
I got it.
Why don't you just tell me what this is all about and then maybe we can reach an agreement.
He doesn't even know.
I'm sorry, what do you mean? I'm the one who wrote you letters, okay, personally, for over a year, about this.
I sent you a video.
I even tried to come and meet you.
I didn't wanna do this, but you left me no choice.
Hey! Slow down.
Senator, I'm gonna ask you, nicely, to keep your mouth shut until we get where we're going, okay? All right, all right.
You're hungry? We'll stop and eat on the way.
I'm not sure.
That could be him.
Can think of any idea why someone would target your husband? he's a politician, sergeant.
Every issue has its enemies.
Sir, any direct threats made against the senator? No, nothing like that.
The health care initiative, new airport, redistricting This is what the senator's been working on recently? And about a hundred other things.
What's getting the most heat? The airport in Gresham That land's being expropriated by the government, right? Lot of protests.
The farmland for the airport is being purchased by the government at fair market value.
Yeah, but the sales are mandatory.
Some of those farmers are pretty upset about losing their land.
So they kidnap a senator? Farmers have easy access to ammonium nitrate.
Jules, I'm gonna send you a list of names.
Gresham landowners soon-to-be displaced by the new airport.
I'll pull up photo ID's, see if we can find our suspect.
Hmm.
How are your eggs? Taste good? Noah, why don't you try to use your voice? Sure.
Go ahead.
Oh! It's okay.
It's okay.
Uh uh Just stay here, I'll be right back.
All right, these are all Gresham residents losing their land.
We think one of these men might be involved.
I can narrow the search.
Out of this group, these are the ones that have permits to purchase ammonium nitrate.
That's him! All right, team, we've got a subject.
Cole Berkley.
2335 McCormick Side Road, Gresham.
Jules, you stay here with Charlotte and Adam.
Got it.
Jules, what do we got on this guy? No priors.
Legal guardian to a Noah Berkley, age 15.
We're 20 minutes from Gresham, even with lights and sirens.
Winnie, put me through to the Gresham PD.
Right away.
Did you see the boy that was just sitting here? Has anybody seen a boy? I saw him leave a few minutes ago, ran out the door.
I'm going inside to check the police scanner.
Start talking to him.
- Get over there! - Okay.
Listen this is about the airport development, isn't it? You're losing your land.
Yeah, we both are.
I am sorry.
I am sorry it came to this.
Look at this place! Look around! - Okay! - Take a look around! This is what you're destroying.
Thousands of years of wildlife and growth - gone.
What you're about to do here, nothing is gonna bring it back.
This farm has been in my family forever.
My grandpa left it to my mom, my mom left it to me, and now I live here with my nephew.
I've always told him when he's here, he's safe.
Nothing can touch you.
When you're here, you're with family.
You're home.
You have kids, senator, huh? Yeah, yeah.
Killing this, you want that to be your legacy? Ed, I have Sergeant Wes Hornby on the line.
Sergeant Hornby, it's Ed Lane, SRU.
Got your APB.
Senator Drury's been abducted? That's correct, sir, the subject's name is Cole Berkley.
Cole Berkley? I know Cole.
There must be a mistake.
Sir, every second counts.
We don't have any time to second-guess here.
All right.
I'm five minutes from his farm, I'll meet you there.
Sergeant, he's armed.
If you find him, do not engage.
We're right behind you.
Understood.
Officer Callaghan, there's something you need you to see.
What is it? I took another look at the exterior surveillance footage, and I think there's an accomplice.
- Wanna take a look? - Yeah.
We'll be right inside.
Okay.
Hello? I understand.
Hold on.
There.
That's the guy.
You see how he gets in the way? And he's not one of your guys? No, definitely not.
What's wrong? Nothing.
Um I'm good.
I just I have to go.
Well, the officer said we can't leave.
Charlotte Charlotte, what is it? Come on, let me help.
The man who called has Mark.
He says I have to wire him two million dollars by 11:30.
We have to tell the police.
No! He said if I do that, they'd kill Mark.
If I leave, the officer will suspect something.
You could go.
Look, um, this is my account and my branch number.
The are the wire transfer details.
Two million dollars.
- Are you sure? - Please! Charlotte, I need your help identifying a possible accomplice.
Okay.
Um yes, of course, I just have a board meeting I can't go to, so I've asked Adam to send some documents.
I'll be quick.
Come right back.
I get it, I get it, I do.
I understand how important this is to you.
You can stop it.
I've read the regulations.
That's true, in theory, but please, you have to understand, this city is expanding and the airport - I'm sorry but it has to be built.
The only other possible site was Halton.
There was far less environmental impact here.
All we can do is just compensate you as fairly as we can No! No! It's not about the money What's he saying? He says he can't do anything.
He can't or won't? I was just explaining- Hey! You're done.
Come here.
Cops are on their way, we're short on time.
Buddy, I told you this was not gonna be easy.
We've made it this far.
They're taking my land too, Cole.
Yeah, okay, I'm with you.
- Team, I got a positive- Franklin Hess.
He's another Gresham landowner.
Aggravated assault, possession of restricted firearms.
Copy that.
Yeah, this is Hornby.
Sergeant, where are you? There's three men heading toward the woods.
I'm moving in to intercept.
Sergeant, we're less than a minute away.
I'm gonna ask you again, do not to engage.
I appreciate that, Ed, but if I could just talk to Cole, I know that I can get through to him.
Sergeant.
Sergeant! Let's go, let's go! Move! What are you doing, Cole? He needs to see what he's destroying, Wes.
All right, we're not we're not gonna hurt him.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go, now! Who's out there with you? Does he have a weapon too? We just need a chance to explain And then we can all go home.
I got no problem with you taking him for a walk, I'm just questioning the need for a weapon.
Why don't you just put it down, walk on over here with the senator Go on, get down.
Ungh! Agh! Let's go! Let's move! What'd you just do?! You just shot him! We can't just leave him there! He gave me no choice let's go! Winnie, we got an officer down.
Send EMS immediately! Sergeant, EMS is on the way.
You okay? Hornby I'm okay.
They went that way.
Okay, you sure? I'm fine, go! Sam, gear up! Leah, soon as you can! Let's move! It's my shoulder.
Agghhh! Careful can you move your fingers? Uh yeah.
Okay, that's good, that's good.
Agghhhh! No exit wound, bullet must've fragmented.
'Kay, you hang in there, sergeant.
Sergeant, it wasn't Cole doing the shooting, all right? It was the other man That's Franklin Hess.
Do you know him? Yeah, I know him.
He had some run-ins with the law before he moved here.
I don't know why Cole would be mixed up with a guy like that.
How well do you know Cole? We both grew up around here.
He's a friend.
He's a good man.
He's not a criminal.
We understand Cole has a nephew.
Yeah, Noah.
He's deaf.
Any idea where the nephew is? He supposed to be at a live-in school for the deaf, starting today.
Cole must've thought he could wind up in jail.
Yeah, he wanted to make sure his nephew was taken care of.
We know where they are, Charlotte.
Now it's just a matter of time.
Now they know the cops are involved.
Yeah.
That's a good thing, right? Unless somebody told you different.
Did you get a ransom demand? Adam isn't sending documents to a board meeting right now, is he? Is he?! He's transferring the money.
They said if I tell anybody, that they would kill Mark.
Charlotte, you need to call Adam right now.
They cannot have the money go through.
Follow me! Follow me now! Boss! Yeah, I heard it all, Jules.
Cole's motive is financial, not political.
Copy.
I'm gonna check out his house, see what I can find out.
Ed, Leah and I are coming to you.
We've got your location on GPS.
Copy that, Spike.
Adam's not answering.
How much was the ransom for? Two million.
Is that realistic? I inherited a lot of money when my father passed away.
Franklin.
Franklin! You just shot Wes Hornby.
What are you thinking? Wes Hornby is just another person trying to take our land from us.
We said no one was gonna get hurt.
You're right, this isn't what we wanted, but this is where we are now, and we still have a chance.
He's not gonna listen to us now.
We gotta give ourselves up, we gotta - we gotta explain we made a mistake.
We created a bomb scare, we kidnapped a senator.
There's no backing out now.
No.
- - Cole.
- I'm out.
This wasn't the plan! Well, now there's a new plan.
- What're you doing? - Your gun, hand it over.
Now! Just let him go and I'll cooperate Oh! Yeah, I know you will.
Move.
Move! Do not transfer the money, Adam.
There's a deadline.
Char said before 11:30 or he dies.
And once they get the money, the senator becomes expendable.
Now, we need to stall.
I need your phone.
Hey, Jules, I'm inside the house and something isn't adding up.
Cole's motive is personal: He's trying to keep his family's land.
Maybe he's given up.
Maybe the money's his way out.
I think we're missing something.
The money should be in the account already.
Look, check it again! Let me talk to your manager.
I had nothing to do with this ransom plan.
I swear.
I believe you.
But you must've realized how dangerous this man was.
He's my neighbour.
He's losing his land too.
I tried everything else.
You were desperate.
My nephew Noah He lost his hearing in a car accident.
It was the same accident that killed his parents.
I'm the only family he has left.
When he came to live with me, it seemed like he just wanted to die.
The only way I could get him outta the house was to go see his parent's memorial.
We spread his mom and dad's ashes.
That first summer I made him come camping with me Man, did he put up a fight.
But once he got used to this you know, the land and the woods It's like a light went on.
The first time I saw him smile was out here in these woods.
I tried tell you all this before I called, I wrote letters.
I even sent a video I made.
Please! You can't take this away from us.
He needs this place.
Excuse me! I just got a text Senator.
Hey, what're you doing?! I don't think your wife understands the situation here.
What? Ungh! No! You don't have to do this! Hey, stay back! That oughta clear things up.
Boss, Franklin already took the government's offer.
His land is bought and paid for.
So the ransom demand was probably Franklin's idea.
And if Franklin knew how Cole felt about losing his land, he might have used him.
Suggested the kidnapping, played on his ideals, knowing that Cole would go along with it for his own reasons.
Eddie? Franklin saw an opportunity and took advantage.
Yeah, so let's tread careful, buddy.
Our man Cole might be in over his head here.
Copy that.
Oh, my God.
I don't understand.
If he's being hurt, the money's right there in the account.
Isn't it Mrs.
Drury's decision whether or not to pay the ransom? Adam, we were all concerned, but in our experience We're out of time! They're making that clear.
We can't just sit here.
Paying the ransom will not get him back alive.
You don't know that.
All we know is that he's still missing.
Adam, we're on it.
We're gonna get Mark back.
Boss, we got something here.
It's a plaque; Some kind of memorial.
Yeah.
Copy that, Spike.
Both Cole and Noah's parents are buried out there.
That's why he's so connected to this land.
Now it's being paved over.
Cole did everything he could to get the senator's attention, but when no one listened, he broke the law to get it.
You know, it looks like he got his attention.
I don't think he was doing it for the money.
I want you to stay with this officer.
I need a minute, okay? Boss, Charlotte was just sent a video of the senator.
He's pretty roughed up.
Any luck on the trace? No.
It was a pay-as-you-go phone, no GPS.
But there's something else.
Ye, what's up? The ransom demand was for two million.
The Drurys only got that amount last year; Charlotte inherited.
Well, how does Franklin know they've got that much cash? Exactly.
There's gotta be somebody on the inside.
You got your eye on somebody? Well, the senator's aide, Adam Reece, he was helping Charlotte make the ransom and now he's getting edgy.
Okay, Jules, you check it out.
Copy that.
Is he here? Did something happen? Just slow down.
Now, who are you? I'm Sheila Masters, from the Kent School for the deaf.
Noah Berkley was supposed to start with us today I was driving him And he just took off on me.
He must've come back here.
We haven't seen him.
I don't understand.
Why are the police here? We have a situation.
Just bear with me for one moment.
Eddie, Cole's nephew is on the run.
He may be headed back this way.
We'll keep our eyes open.
Last thing we need is a deaf boy getting caught in the middle of all this.
Yeah.
Copy.
Can the boy communicate? He hasn't spoken since the accident that killed his parents.
He can sign a little bit, but he's better at reading lips.
Whoa! Stop.
Okay, now, get down! Get down! All right.
Okay.
You gotta stop this.
You're gonna get us all killed.
Do you wanna stay alive? You sit down and you shut up! Okay, Sam Ungh! Ungh! Ungh! No! Shots fired - no visual.
I'm moving in.
Eyes on.
One subject armed.
I have the solution.
Eddie, what's going on out there? We got a second shooter - unknown location.
On our way! Noah! Noah! We're close, Ed! Sam, you got eyes? He's gotta be somewhere up on that Ridge.
- Noah! - I don't seem him.
He's gotta be dug in.
Hang tight.
I got a plan.
I have to get to Noah.
Stay down, stay down, you're bleeding.
He thinks they shot me.
Untie me so I can help him.
I'm gonna lay down smoke grenades.
Good call - let's disrupt the shooter's visibility.
Noah! Let's go! No sign of Franklin and the senator.
Where'd they go? They went that way.
Franklin did this? Yeah, I tried to take his rifle.
Spike, with me.
Leah, Sam, go after them.
On it.
We're gonna roll you over.
One, two, three.
Let's go.
Looks bad, but the bullet went right through.
My nephew He's out there, I saw him.
Ed is he the one shooting at us? Yes, but he's deaf.
He must have thought you shot me, and now he's trying to save me.
Sam, Leah, did you get that? The shooter's a boy.
We copy.
Is this kid a good shot? Yeah, he's very good.
Five shots, none of 'em hit.
Jules, I've got something.
Go ahead, Winnie.
I'm looking at Reece's bank records here - red flags.
What are we talking about? He received a number of lump sum deposits from private individuals over the last seven months.
Mostly in the five to ten thousand dollar range.
Any connection between the deposits? Looks like they all came from banks in Halton.
Thanks, winnie.
No sign of Franklin or Drury.
Or the boy.
Copy.
They can't be far.
Franklin's probably looking for a way out of these woods as fast as he can.
There's a trail just north of here.
Yeah, I see it.
Sam, I'm gonna send you some coordinates.
- Copy.
- Sam, Leah, Franklin's already shot two people today, including an officer, so don't take any chances.
Understood.
Spike and Eddie, I'm on my way to you.
Let's get Cole out of there first, and then we'll worry about the boy.
Got it.
Stay there.
Anything? We have one of the kidnappers in custody.
What about Mark? The other kidnapper still has him.
They're on the move.
Do you know where they're going? I think Adam here could help us.
What? We through your bank statements and your telephone records; we know you're involved.
That's impossible.
Some of the Halton landowners paid Adam bribes so they wouldn't build the airport on their land.
Adam? Look, they came to me, and it wasn't bribes because the money didn't make a difference.
The decision had already been made by then.
The airport wasn't gonna be built in Halton anyway.
You don't know what it's like.
This divorce, the legal fees alone I was just trying to get my life back together.
Until Franklin Hess found out about the bribes.
He said he'd turn me in unless I helped him get the ransom.
But Mark was never supposed to be in actual danger.
Where's Franklin going, Adam? He said he'd fly himself out of the country as soon as the money went through.
That's all he told me I swear.
Spike? Copy that, Jules.
We're looking for an open field, a country road Anywhere you could land a small plane in.
That trail I told you about, it runs east.
It leads to a small airstrip used by crop dusters.
Sam? Heard him, Spike.
Shot fired! It's the boy.
Let me talk to him, please.
Cole, we can't take that risk.
That's lethal intent, Ed.
Stay down.
I've got the solution.
Ed? What's the call? Ed, what's the call? Spike, hold your fire.
Do not give him a target.
Copy that.
Almost there, Ed.
Greg, we need a way to communicate with the boy here.
What about the teacher? No, it won't do any good.
Cole and Noah have their own version of sign language.
He can read his Uncle's lips; That's about it.
- You're driving.
- Okay.
Okay, my hands, free my hands.
- Go! Go! - Okay, okay! I'm here, Ed.
Greg, he's not looking to kill.
He's taken seven shots; He hasn't hit his target once.
Cole's our only chance to get through to him.
We gotta let him try.
Nah, it's too risky, Eddie.
Okay okay, stay with Cole.
Spike, cover me.
Copy that.
I need you to put that gun down.
Please, nobody needs to get hurt today.
Go low, head him off! I'll flank you from the Ridge.
Greg, I'm not following here.
He's confused.
He wants you to let me go.
Just let me go talk to him, please.
The boy thinks that we shot you.
If he sees a chance to free you, he might start shooting to kill.
Son, please, can you put the gun down? I'm on the track ahead of them.
Greg, he's not responding to me.
We need to get Cole up here.
We need to get Cole to talk to him.
Okay, Cole, we gotta work together here to help him understand what's going on here today, all right? But if this goes badly, we don't have options, you understand? Yeah.
Limited tack options - weapon's in play.
Stop! Stop! Get out of the car, now! Now! Finding an angle.
Put down your weapon! - Get off the road! - Put it down, now! - Put it down! - Get off the road! Subject down, hostage secure.
Copy that.
Noah, put down the rifle.
(Signing they shot you.
No.
The police didn't shoot me, Franklin did.
They're making you say this.
He thinks you're making me say this.
No, they're not.
I promise.
What I did today, it was wrong.
It's my fault, not theirs.
I thought that we needed to stay here because it felt safe; that you're close to your mom and your dad.
What about the farm? It's all we have.
He says this farm is all we have.
But now you're going to jail.
He uh He knows I'm going to jail.
We'll be together again.
Maybe not now, but soon.
I promise I'll always be in your life.
You'll never be alone.
Please put down the gun.
Well, heaven knows I'd wait just to feel another breeze to lie beneath another sun deep down in your heart sergeant, those two going to prison isn't gonna help anybody.
Senator, Cole realized that he made a huge mistake today.
He did everything he could to help us find you.
I'll make sure the courts are fully informed.
Big hearts are warming up the coldest years and they lie beside me forevermore and big hearts make mine grow growing every day So You call your mom, give her the news? What? What is it? All right, what's wrong? Dad I don't wanna to university.
I wanna be a cop, and I wanna go to the academy.
Well, when did you make this decision? I've been thinking about it awhile.
Okay I can do a degree later.
This job, Dean, it's not what you think.
Look, I understand you go through a lot.
I see what you do every day No, you don't understand.
You don't have the information that it takes to make this decision.
I don't have what it takes.
Is that what you're trying to tell me? No! No, you'd be great at anything, all right? I want what's best for you, I wanna help What's best for me? So you have choices, so you have more freedom later.
Just, just give it time.
Just give it time.
I have given it time.
I've thought about this.
This is what I was born to do.
You know, I thought you I thought you'd be happy.
Son Just I'm going for a walk.
