"Guys, I got a signal." "Lower lever, north quadrant." "'Kay, listen up." "This guy knows the terrain." "We go in hard and fast." "Boss, get him on the phone, keep him occupied." "Copy that." "Man:" "What're you thinking, Parker?" "Ihadit undercontrol." "It looked ragged." "I made a call." "Why don't you come on in and we'll debrief." "Ed:" "In position." "Man:" "Well, you know what?" "I'll bring my sidearm, you bring your inkblots, we'll see who makes a better case." "Police!" "Freeze!" "SRU!" "Boss, signal relay." "He's not here." "Greg, come in." "Greg." "Greg, come in." "Boss, make some noise." "He's got Greg." "Raf:" "I know this hasn't been an easy day for you, Tim." "Tim:" "No it hasn't , and it's her fault!" "Raf:" "Okay, but I don't think you wanna harm your wife." "I don't think that's how you want this to go." "Tim:" "Don't you tell me what to do!" "Raf:" "She's afraid, Tim." "This can't be easy for her." "You're scaring her." "I don't wanna scare her." "'Course not." "'Course not, Tim." "So how 'bout you let her go, and you and I, we can sit down and talk this through, okay?" "Just the two of us." "I'm worthless." "I don't wanna scare her." "I'm with you on that, Tim." "We're gonna work through this." "Aw, come on!" "See the suicide cues, Raf?" "Calmness." "Introspection." "Doesn't always mean cooperation, sometimes it means he's given up." "Come on, buddy." "The first day on the job." "The bridge jumper, remember?" "Yeah." "Parker:" "What else did you see?" "He was tidying himself." "Parker:" "And you kept pushing him." "Again." "Again." "Hey!" "Who is in the monitor room?" "We're just having a cigarette, Gil." "Who's covering?" "Would you relax?" "We're just giving these lighting dudes some pointers." "You should be on your route." "Seriously, dude." "Your job's not to patrol around looking for other security guards." "You do know that, right?" "Yeah, I know my job." "I'm not the one who takes unscheduled breaks everyday." "Listen, it's 15 minutes." "Either you want to join us?" "Or do you can back right off and let us finish our smokes?" "I appreciate that, Tim." "Now, I'm gonna holster my gun." "And maybe we can talk about what's going on here, okay?" "I've said my piece." "Raf:" "I'd just like to hear some more, if that's okay?" "Just talk to me." "Just tell me what happened here today." "Parker:" "And... you're dead." "Really dead." "You said he just had the 9-mil!" "Yeah, I got it wrong." " Are you serious?" "!" " That'll happen." " Let's go again." " Come on!" "Ed:" "Zero for nine, Raf." "You gotta step it up, buddy." "Ed, I was getting through to you?" "I was getting through to him." "Really?" "I see a shot cop." "Raf:" "Okay, so what's next?" "Someone gonna bust through the window with an uzi?" "Hey!" "Every one of these scenarios come from case files." "Every outcomes has happened." "This is real life." "Now the moment you start thinking that you've got all the angles covered, you have failed, my friend." "Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir." "Parker:" "We've been at this for three hours, you must be tired." "No, no, I'm fine." "Parker:" "Good, 'cause we're going again." "Get back!" "Get back!" "Don't make..." "Don't make noise." "Just get back!" "What was that about?" "Oh come on, Eddie." "He needed to hear it." "Remember how long it took me to get that drill?" "Yeah." "Remember I had to get into your face too?" "Hey, chin up." "That's why we do the exercises." "You passed it?" "Spike:" "We all passed it." "You're really used to getting A's on the report card, aren't you?" "Don't sweat it, Raf." "Takes time." "Armed robbery at Fletcher stadium." "Subject has a knife, possible hostage situation." "911 caller is Decklan Pownell, he works security at the stadium." "Parker:" "Mr. pownell?" "Yeah." "You guys gotta get up there, the guy's crazy, he's got Roger." "Roger a colleague of yours?" "Yeah, he walked in on him in the money room;" "the guy pulled a knife." "We tried to intervene, but..." "Who's "we", sir?" "Me and Gil." "Another guard." "We tried to calm him down, but he flipped out." "Okay, it's all right." "Where are they now?" "A luxury suite." "He dragged Roger in there." "Okay, Decklan, how many people in the building?" "Small lighting crew." "Six security staff." "Okay, have 'em drop what they're doing, and exit immediately." " Do you understand me?" " Yes." "One subject, one hostage, one knife." "Let's fill in some blanks." "Okay, guys, here we go." "Sam, Raf, take the suite." "Spike, CCTV." "Jules, money room." "Copy." "Boos, I'm gonna try to get a Sierra shot." "Good." "Go." "I need to get through to that suite." "Yeah, yeah, follow me, there's a phone in the security room." "Just..." "Just think, Danny, just think." "Are you gonna get that?" "Shut up!" "Shut up while I think!" "Sam, he's not answering." "Give him a nudge." "Sir, this is Sam Braddock from the Police Strategic Response Unit." "We need to talk to you, please answer the phone." "He's not so keen to talk, boss." "Parker:" "Copy that." "Spike, let me know when you got eyes in." "Spike:" "Yeah, 220 of them, but none where we want 'em." "There's no camera in there?" "Uh, they're executive suites." "You know, these guys like their privacy." "Eddie?" "What do you see?" "Ed:" "Not good, boss , glare and shadow." "Hang on." "Boss, we got a bogey." "We got a security guard on the balcony." "Your guys are still out there?" "It's gotta be Gil, I mean, everyone else is accounted for." "He must've took cover on the balcony." "Sir, it's him." "Gil calling." "Parker:" "Gil." "ThisissergeantGregParker," "I'm with the Police Strategic Response Unit." "Hello, Greg Parker." "Parker:" "Are you safe?" "Gil:" "Yeah, I'm hidden." "Hey, buddy, can you get out of there?" "No, they're between me and the door." "Okay, Gil, can you tell me if the hostage is hurt?" "Gil:" "No, no, no, he looks fine." "He'sjustscared." "Subject is Caucasian, 5' 10", dark hair." "I heard him call himself "Danny."" "He's got a 7-inch blade, I think it's a bowie knife." "Gil, that's very helpful." "Thank you." "Spike, see what you can do with that." "Got it, boss." "Okay, Gil, I need you to stay low stay quiet, all right?" "We're gonna get you outta there." "Hey, sarge, I think I should talk to this guy." "No, I don't want you to do that." "It wasn't supposed to go like this." "No, no, no, I hear remorse." "I think I can get through him." "Gil, that is a negative." "One wrong word and he could escalate." "You gotta trust me on this here, buddy." "All right." "Parker:" "Thank you." "Okay, team, listen up." "Good news is we've got eyes inside and, ah, things seem calm for the moment." "So talk to me, who're we dealing with here?" "It's gotta be a smash and grab, right?" "Parker:" "So he gets interrupted, panics." "Eddie?" "Fits the bill." "He's volatile, he's got no demands..." "Yeah." "I hear a "but"." "I don't know, I mean, the place isn't exactly a liquor store, right?" " Boss?" " Yeah, Jules?" "Money room's three floors up behind an unmarked door." "Cameras, keycard entry, regenerating password, and that's all before you even reach the safe." "Raf:" "So much for smash and grab." "Parker:" "So he's high-tech on the way in, hunting knife on the way out?" "Boss, got a partial off CCTV and matched it to the description." "Our subject is Danny Lucic." "Drugs, assault." "Mostly small-time." "His one star turn was an attempted robbery at a credit union, and he took a teller hostage at knife-point." "How'd that end?" "Spike:" "Teller got a punctured radial artery and Danny got three years hard time." "It wasn't supposed to go like this." "Sergeant, we got a situation." "Ed:" "Whoa, gun in play." "Guninplay." "Gil, talk to me." " No, no, no-no-no-no." " I said stay put!" "Freeze!" "Right there!" "Ed:" "No visual." "Gil, talk to me, please." "Back off!" "Okay, calm down, mister." "Just relax." " Gil!" " Back off." "Back off or he dies!" "My name is Gil Collins and I'm here to help you." "If you take one more step forward" "I will cut his throat out!" "Eddie, what do you see?" "Our civilian's gone cowboy." "He's charged in there with a big piece." "All I got's his back." "We breach now, we are right in the line of fire." "You guys carry guns?" "I've never touched a gun in my life." "Okay... ah..." "Just calm down." "Look, I'm gonna put the gun away." "Okay?" "I'm putting it down." "Now listen to me." "That man that you're holding is named Roger." "He's a friend of mine, this'd be a lot easier if you'd just lower the blade a little." "He's humanizing the hostage." "Listen to him, mister you keep your mouth shut!" "And you back off!" "I'm not coming closer, I swear." "Okay?" "You have my word." "I just..." "I wanna talk." "Okay?" "Can we just talk?" "Okay." "Thank you." "Subject's de-escalating." "It wasn't supposed to go like this." "I understand." "Your name's Danny, right?" "How'd you know that?" "I was just outside, I overheard." "It wasn't supposed to go like this." "It was supposed to be fast." "No one around!" "Okay, but you haven't done anything that can't be made right." "All right?" "So let's not change that." "Let's just work this out, okay?" "I gotta get outta here." "Gil:" "All right." "And I wanna help you with that." "I'm just gonna talk to some people on the other end of this phone." "Police?" "!" "Gil:" "Yes, police, okay?" "But they're gonna make sure that we all get outta here unharmed." "Look, it's what they do." "It's their job, okay?" "Just..." "let me talk to 'em." "I'm not gonna move," "I'm just gonna talk." "Sergeant?" "Yeah, Gil, you're doing great, Gil." "Is Roger hurt?" "Gil:" "Affirmative abdominal penetration." "Okay, team, we got a wounded hostage." "Eddie?" "Entry options?" "We got a gun, we got a knife, we got a cornered subject, we are half-blind." "Alpha, you have got to get eyes in there now." "Pole cam." "From the suite above." "Sam, do it now." "Quick and quiet." "Parker:" "Gil." "We're working out a solution here, buddy." "You just keep Danny calm." "Will do." "Parker:" "Let him know I'd like to talk to him, but don't pressure him." "Right?" "Let him set the pace." "Okay, I got it." "Parker:" "And don't promise him anything." "I said I got it." "You do your job, I'll do mine." "Winnie, EMS here?" "Standing by." "Jules:" "Boss, I found a keycard at the scene." "The log shows a direct route from the outside into the money room." "It's gotta be how Danny got in." "Who's it registered to?" "No, it's a blank." "After-market." "If you know the system, you can make a skeleton key." "If you know the system." "Jules:" "That's where this is leading too." "Sophisticated, pre-planned." "I mean, either Danny's seriously upped his game..." "Or he's got help." "Okay, Jules, known associates, family history." "On it." "Parker:" "Spike, check the stadium employee list for priors." "See who pops." "Copy." "But, boss?" "The break-in's all over the security tape." "You looking for an accomplice, you might wanna start with who was working the monitors." "This your post, Decklan?" "Yeah." "Why?" "You on shift this morning?" "Okay, look, I took a cigarette break." "It was ten minutes, I swear to God." "You left the monitors unattended?" "Yeah, but..." "Look, you gotta believe me." "I don't know anything about this." "I mean, Roger's a friend of mine, why would I do this to him?" "I shoulda listened to Gil." "Gil?" "He caught us smoking this morning." "Started nagged us about doing our job." "This happened today?" "Happens all the time." "We just blew him off." "I mean, that's Gil." "He takes everything so seriously." "Officer." "I screwed up." "We're gonna get your friend outta there, Decklan." "It's okay." "Hey, Spike?" "Our guy Gil, he knew the monitors were unmanned." "Well, funny you should say." "He just came up." "Criminal record?" "Spike:" "Other side of the ledger." "He was a cop." "Gil Collins." "Looks like he's been off the force a couple of years." "Explains the piece." "And the language." "Yeah, but from cop to this?" "Spike:" "I've heard of quitting the force for the private sector, but..." "Okay, Jules, let's pull up his police file, see who we're dealing with here." "Copy." "Gil:" "Sergeant?" "Dannyhassomedemands he'd like to pass on." "Okay." "I want a bullet proof vest!" "And I want a car." "No, motorcycle!" "I want something fast!" "Parker:" "Okay, I got it, I got it." "Gil, negotiation's good;" "That's a step forward." "And you have 20 minutes!" "And I want a clear path outta here, no cops." "I see anyone and I'm gonna finish this guy off," "I swear to God!" "You just keep him talking." "Tell him we'll do our best." "Just keep him engaged." "They're working on your demands, okay?" "I'm..." "Hey, hey..." "I'm just gonna go stand here okay." "It's all I'm doing." "Sam, I'm losing visual!" "Two minutes." "They have 20 minutes!" "Hey, Gil, how's Roger doing?" "Faster's better, sergeant." "Parker:" "I copy that." "Hey, you never told me you were police, Gil." "Hey, I got a little bit on my plate here, Parker." "All right, boss, Gil Collins was a cop on the rise." "Breezed through the academy." "Couple commendations of merit, but after a few years on the force, things took a turn." "Run-ins with superiors, insubordination." "Got busted down." "Terminated about two years ago." "On what grounds?" "Jules:" "Not specified." ""Unfitforduty."" "I got something else for you, boss." "I checked Gil's pass code against the log..." "About three minutes before Danny entered the building," "Gil walked the exact same route to the money room." "Clearing a path." "Jules:" "Sure looks that way." "Hey, Spike, where was Danny arrested for that credit union job?" "Dundas and Dovercourt." "14 division." "Gil's beat." "Okay, team, listen up." "Things are getting fluid here." "I'm thinking Gil is our inside man." "Okay, boss, make that make sense." "Okay, let's say he set this whole thing up, it's a two-person job, he needs a bagman." "So where does he turn?" "His cop past." "And Danny's got the perfect MO, so Gil makes contact, he keeps it anonymous, and he tells him he's got a big score for him." "Sets him up with a keycard and a map..." "Parker:" "And no one's at the monitors, he cues Danny and they're on our way." "Perfect inside job." "So the question is, what is he doing now?" "Covering his tracks?" "Eliminate his accomplice?" "Jules:" "Or he got cold feet, wants to put the brakes on." "Sam!" "I need eyes!" "Seconds away..." "We have a visual." "Visual's up." "Routing it to you right now, boss." "I know him." "Ed:" "Who?" "Parker:" "Gil." "The cop." "Winnie, Gil Collins?" "He ever try out for SRU?" "Gil Collins..." "He did, twice, we have a file." "Jules, get down to the station, pull that file." "I everything we have on that guy." "Psych evals, fit-for duty tests, all of it." "On my way." "Danny, I got a proposal." "You let Roger, I take his place." "Why the hell I do that?" "What're you doing, Gil?" "Gil:" "Look at him, he's hurt really bad, you don't want him to die." "How many times I gotta tell you to stay back?" "!" "Gil, I need you stop engaging him." "Back down." "Gil:" "I got this, boss." "Trust me." "Look, he dies, this goes really bad for you." " Hey, I'm warning you!" " Let him go, he gets patched up, you take me, it's all good." "Gil, you're scaring him." "Alpha team, less lethal." "Ed:" "Copy that." "Rubber bullets." "Raf, seconds away." "Parker:" "Gil, please , listen to me." "You are losing him." "He will attack." "I'll not let that happen." "I will cut him, and I will cut you!" "I will cut his throat!" "Gotta move, boss, we gotta move now." "Alpha team, go!" "Now, now!" "You take knife." "I'll take gun on three, one, two, three!" "Police!" "Everyone down!" "Drop your weapon!" "Everyone down!" "No!" "No!" "Ah!" "Hostage has been shot." "Our security guard fired a round." "You breached." "You startled him, I had no choice." " Drop your weapon!" " I had no choice!" "I said drop your weapon!" "Drop your weapon now!" "Raf:" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Ed:" "Subject on the move!" "Hey, stay where you are!" "Gil, stop right there." "Gil, gimme your hand." "Come on, don't risk it." "Here." "Don't do this, Gil." "Gil!" "Gil, stop!" " Ungh!" " Don't move." "All clear, get EMS in here!" "I lost him." "Spike?" "Spike:" "He's in the blind spots." "No, wait..." "West, maybe." "Ed:" "Gotta get a lock on his cell phone." "On it." "Decklan, what was in the safe today?" "Uh, some register floats." "Maybe a thousand bucks." "And on a big day?" "Game night?" "Probably 150,000 goes through there." "Ed:" "What are you thinking, boss?" "I'm thinking this wasn't about money." "I'm thinking this was about being a cop again." "He set this whole thing up so he could stop it?" "Step in and save the day." "Prove that he's SRU material after all." "An officer needs assistance, you're the first on scene." "You see the officer being beaten by a male subject, but there's a 30 foot chain link fence between you." "The officer is losing consciousness, what do you do?" "Neutralize the subject." "Lethal?" "Officer down, no choice." "Parker:" "So, no hesitation?" "Gil:" "Okay, so you wanna see some reluctance, is that it?" "Parker:" "Try not to think about what I'd like to see, Gil." "Just answer honestly." "Gil:" "Officer's in danger , you gotta take the shot." "Parker:" "Okay." "That's protocol." "You're saying it's not?" "Parker:" "No, I'm not saying that." "Gil:" "I could call out, see if the subject responds." "Parker:" "And if he does?" "Gil:" "Then I don't take shot." "Obviously." "Parker:" "Are you changing your answer then?" "You're trying to corner me." "Parker:" "No, that's not my intention." "Gil:" "Then I neutralize the subject." "That's it!" "No hesitation." "Danny, who set this up?" "I know you didn't plan this, so who did?" "He talks you let us know." "Go." "How's he doing?" "Not so good." "Spike:" "Guys, I got a signal!" "Lower level, north quadrant." "He's not moving." " What's down there?" " Storage room." "Could be digging in." "Let's go." "Okay, listen up." "This guy's knows the terrain." "We go in hard and fast." "Boss, get him on the phone, keep him occupied." "Copy that." "What were you thinking, Parker?" "I had it under control." "It looked ragged, Gil, I made a call." "I had him!" "You screwed it up!" "Parker:" "Listen, Gil, why don't you come on in and we'll debrief." "Oh, now you wanna debrief?" "Okay, how 'bout this..." "You know what?" "There was a time when a cop just had to be a cop." "Now he's gotta be a shrink too." "Parker:" "Is that what this is about, Gil?" "Maybe there's room for both." "In position." "Gil:" "Well, you know what?" "Let'smeetup ," "I'll bring my sidearm, you bring your ink blots, we'll see who makes a better case." "Police!" "SRU!" "Boss, signal relay." "He's not here." "Still with me, Gil?" "Yeah, can't talk right now, Parker." "I got places to be." "Ed:" "He's playing us, boss." "Newplan." "We'll drift-net." "Vertical line, one per floor." "Let's move." "Okay, Gil Collins first tried out for the SRU four years ago." "Tactical scores were off the charts, psych eval came up short." "Tried again the following year, same results." "After that, he just spiraled." "Fights with his partners." "Problems at home." "Divorced." "Parker:" "You talk to his ex?" "Jules:" "She's on her way here now." "There's something else, boss." "He filed a grievance against you." "I don't remember that." "Jules:" "Well, it was dismissed." "It didn't get high enough up the chain for you to be notified." "Here's the thing is," "I don't think that today is about proving to the world that he's a good cop." "It's about proving it to you." "Just like you, Parker." "Code red and you're still holstered." "Decklan:" "Gil." "Dude..." "Shut it, Decklan." "Over here on the floor." "Hands behind your head." "Move!" "Okay." "Stay there, or he dies." "Turn around." "Turn around." "You're smaller than I remember." "Turn around." "Do you remember me?" "Yeah I do, Gil." "Wanna talk about that?" "No!" "You don't get to talk." "You only get to talk if I tell you to talk, do you understand?" "Yeah." "Wrists." "Him." "Tie up his wrists!" "Boss, what's the status on our backup?" "Spike, is Parker with you?" "Negative." "Greg, make some noise." "Tell him headed South." "I can't do that, Gil." "Gil:" "South across the bowl." "Tell them." "Ed:" "Greg, talk to me." "I'm here, Eddie." "Subject is headed South, repeat, he's headed toward the South end of the bowl." "Okay, team one, you heard the man." "Stop the sweep." "I need everybody to regroup on level one." "Parker:" "Back-up's on the way, Ed, so move with caution and stay frosty." "He's got Greg." "Guys, switch channels." "Spike?" "I'm here, I heard it." "Ed:" "Get Parker's headset offline now." "Gil:" "Isn't that interesting?" "You told them to head South, but they're not complying." "Is it "frosty", Parker?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "The distress code." "Is it "stay frosty"?" "Yeah." "Thought it was a little hot dog for you." "Raf and I will go to the last point of contact." "Sam, underground parking." "Spike, you watch those exits." "Every door, every window - he does not get outta here with Parker, do you understood me?" "Copy, Ed." "Let's go." "And of course, here they come." "Listen, Gil, buddy, whatever you're up to- shut it, Decklan!" "Gil?" "If we got stuff to work out, let's just focus here, okay?" "If you had let me work it out in the other room, none of this would be happening." "What is happening, Gil?" "Plan b." "Let me ask you something." "How's your hand-to-hand?" "Think you can, ah..." "Disarm me?" "No I don't." "See, that's too bad." "'Cause we're gonna go for a little walk, and I was really hoping that you would try." "Turn around." "Hands down." "Behind your back." "Let's go for that walk." "Hi." "Thanks for coming." "I'm Jules Callaghan," "I talked to you on the phone." "Why don't you have a seat?" "You said this is about Gil." "Is he in trouble?" "We're trying to figure that out." "Are you still in touch with him?" "He sees our son." "But it's not easy between us." "Can you tell me why?" "For a while we tried staying in each other's lives, for Jacob, but Gil has so much anger." "He blames me for the divorce." "It..." "It just got toxic." "When was the last time you saw him?" "This morning." "Jakey, let's go." "Hi." "Gil..." "I'm sorry, I know it's not Friday, but today's an exception." "Can I just..." "Can I just get 30 seconds?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Look, I don't wanna say too much," "I don't wanna spoil it, but I..." "I got something going at work." "That's good, Gil." "I'm happy for you." "Thanks." "I know what you're thinking." "And that it's been hard, and that's on me, that's my fault." "But I just want you to know" "I've never been more proud of anything in my life than I am of you." "You and jakey." "And I know it's up to me to make you proud of me." "Again." "For us." "For us?" " There he is!" " Hi dad!" "Hey, buddy!" "Guess what?" "Special day." "I am walking you to school." "Great!" "Gil." "Please." "You just love this, don't you?" "Holding all the cards." "There is nothing about this that I love." "Ah, you know what, pal?" "I just remembered I got something I gotta do." "So can I get a rain check?" "Something to look forward to?" "Thanks, buddy." "Have a good day, pal." "Come here, you." "Please." "Tell me what's going on, Officer Callaghan." "Does the name Greg Parker mean anything to you?" "Yeah." "Gil talked about him all the time." "After you flunked me," "I got my hands on my evaluation." "Go left." "You remember what you said?" "No." "Six years of my life, thousands of hours on the range, in the gym, in the psych manuals..." "You don't remember what you said?" "Sorry, Gil, I do a lot of evaluations." ""Good tactical." "Unfit to negotiate."" "Gil, you have to understand, we get a hundred applicants a year, that's a lot of great candidates turned away." "Five words, Parker." "You used five words to ruin my life." "Move." "Move!" "You all right?" "Agh!" "Which way did they go?" "Up." " There." " Sam, Spike!" "Two rifles, stadium floor, now!" " Stay here!" " Got it." "Down we go, boss." "Gotta tell you, Gil, I'm not crazy about heights." "Overcome it." "Guys." "Parker:" "You wanna tell me what you're thinking here, Gil?" "It's tactical, Parker." "You wouldn't appreciate it." "Don't do it, Gil." "Please, you don't wanna do this." "Guys, full hay setup up here." "Oh... sprint shoot." "My best drill." "200 yard dash, setup up their rifle, dead-center a target at a half-mile." "Let's set up right here." "Go, go, go!" "Let's go, let's go." "Sorry, Parker." "Problem is they shoot me?" "They kill you too." "He's gonna push him!" "Hold fire!" "Hold fire!" "We shoot him, he lets go of the rope." "What do you want from me, Gil?" "Thought it was obvious." "I want a lesson." "You got an agitated subject bent on revenge." "So show me how it's done, Parker." "Talk me down!" "I'm not seeing tac on this." "He's got vantage." "Distance." "Full control." "Anything we do, he drops boss." "He's got every angle covered." "Jules, give me something, why's he doing this?" "Well, Gil shows signs of narcissistic personality disorder, it's a preoccupation with prestige and power." "Attention." "It's built on shame, fear of inadequacy." "And when things go bad, when things feed that fear, troubled relationships, failure at work, people with NPD they usually resort to "splitting"." " Splitting?" " All-or-nothing thinking." "White hats and black hats." "Jules:" "Yeah, it's how he preserves his self-esteem;" "by ascribing his own failures to the actions of others." "A good guy under attack by monsters." "Can you get through to him?" "The psychology's really tricky on this." "He's vulnerable, raw." "It's a minefield." "Jules, we're running out of options here." "I'm gonna call, Ed." "I'm gonna call." "So." "Assessment time." "What do you make of the subject, Parker?" "Hey, look..." "Sorry, that'll be, ah..." "That'll be your boys." "Excuse me while I get that." "They can't help you now." "It's just you and me." "I wanna have a conversation with you, Gil, but this..." "Wha!" "Ah!" "Assess the subject." "All right." "You know what I see?" "I see a good man who's in a lot of pain." "The sweet talk." "No, no, no, no..." "I see a guy who doesn't always have the easiest time fitting in." "Because what comes naturally for most folks, the day-today living stuff, just doesn't come so easy to you." "You're wrong." "You're wrong." "I'll bet when you joined the academy, all that changed?" "Right?" "Suddenly you felt like your life made sense for the first time." "Am I right, Gil?" "Am I right?" "We gotta get up there." "Try him face to face." "Does he look like he wants company, Spike?" "So what're we gonna do?" "Watch?" "!" "Hope for the best?" "Shockround." "The electrical charge will keep his grip firm." "Involuntary muscle contracture." "It'll gives us time to make a play." "Come down from above, and get a rope around boss." "And then neutralize the subject." "There's a thousand ways that can go wrong." "It'll have to happen in, what, five seconds?" " If that." " Plus he's armoured." "It's gotta take a perfect shot." "Raf:" "It's all we got." "Let's do it." "Sam, you take the shot." "On my cue." "Raf?" " I'll harness up." " Spike?" "Okay, I'm on the mic." "I'll stay on Sierra." "I will finish it if I have to." "And I know, I know." "I know how it goes, buddy." "You put on a uniform, and all the labels get rewritten." ""Headstrong" becomes "dedicated"." "And "reckless" becomes "fearless"." "And all the stuff that you fought inside, all the demons..." "Now they're your assets." "Right?" "They're your assets." "They're the things that keep you alive." "They're the things that make you good." "How do you know that?" "One... one cop to another, brother, that's how." "No." "Nice try, Parker, you know." "I see that you're trying to connect." "But I'm not some meth-head with a knife." "You can't fool me!" "No, that's not what I'm trying to do." "Yes it is!" "It's Greg Parker to a tee." "So smug his feet don't touch the ground until some nutcase picks up a gun." "Ears are up." "Gil:" "...But you know what?" "You're leaving out the most important thing." "Please, please tell me what that is." "You took it from me!" "All of it!" "I aced every drill, but I wasn't good enough for you because some role-playing exercise didn't go the way you wanted it to!" "You've been gunning for me since day one, Parker." "Just like today." "Determined to see me fail!" "So I push back." "I told Miranda." "You know what I said to her?" "I said, "he's testing me." "He's testing my resolve."" "You know what I'm gonna do?" "I'm gonna work harder." "I'm gonna try again." "I'm gonna show him all." "But you know what I didn't count on?" "Everyone taking your side." "My sergeant, my own partner, everyone." "You poisoned 'em against me." "Parker:" "It was my face on that setback." "I get that, Gil." "I get that." "You don't get the last word this time." "I've got a teenage son." "And he did the bravest thing I'd ever seen, he let his deadbeat dad back into his life." "It's all I wanted for years, it's all I thought about." "And guess what?" "Now that it's happened," "I wake up at night and I think," "I say to myself, I should push him away now." "Push him away now so I don't do it by accident down the road." "Stop talking." "You're just gonna say anything to try and get outta this." "Parker:" "You think I'm gunning for you?" "Let me tell you something," "I've got a whole team down there who depend on me." "You know how I've repaid their trust?" "I've kept secrets from them," "I've lied to them," "I've broken protocol." "That's right." "That's right." "Lives and careers and relationships..." "They could all go down the tube, and that would all be on me." "And you know..." "And you know why I do that?" "Because I don't know any other way!" "It's the best I can figure out!" "No, no, no..." "You're trying to trick me." "You're trying to build empathy." "Parker:" "I'm not negotiating with you, Gil!" "I'm saying my piece!" "You think you know me." "You think I'm one kind of thing, well I'm not!" "I'm something else." "I'm not after you." "I don't even know you." "I've got enough going on in my life you're not part of it, buddy." "You misread this, you understand?" "You're wrong!" "On my word." "Parker:" "But if you let go of this rope, you'll become the thing that you hate." "You'll become the thing that you think I am." "You get that?" "So what's it gonna be?" "Who are you?" "'Cause I'm done talking." "On three." "One..." "Two..." "Hold!" "Hold!" "Miranda was right." " Gil..." " Parker, you're right." "Parker:" "No!" "Gil, please don't." "Just stay here with me." "No, I see it now." "It's okay." "Parker:" "No, you made a good choice, Gil." "You just focus on that, buddy." "You just focus that." "Introspection..." "No, no, there's a way through this." "You gotta build from this moment." "You gotta move forward from here." "You work though it from here." "You're a good man!" "Here... good man..." "You're a good man..." "...A good man..." "Spike?" "Talk to Winnie?" " Yep." " What's in your hand?" "It's the audio drive." "Gotta get rid of it." "Ed, what boss said up there has no bearing on the case." "It's not our call." "He was torn wide open." "He was fighting for his life." "There's no reason why everybody's hear that." "It could cost him his job, Ed." "I hear ya." "Parker:" "Spike." "Give it to me, Spike." "Boss, no one needs to know we used the parabolic." "It doesn't affect the investigation in any way." "It all goes in." "Every word." "No more secrets." "How you holding up?" "I killed him Eddie." "Greg, he was unwell." "Killed himself." "He was splitting." "He set out to slay the monster and I convinced him he was it." "Greg, he was trying to kill you." "He was trying to kill you." "You did what you had to do here, buddy." "You did what you had to do." "I got angry." "I got angry and I lost control." "Why do you want to be an SRU?" "That one's easy." "Heh." "Um..." "You know how when you're out on patrol you meet a lot of people but you, you look..." "Raf:" "Um, just got word from the hospital." "The hostage, Roger, he's gonna be okay." "Uh, I've been thinking about this morning." "The exercise." "I think I know the solution." "Go on." "There is no solution." "The failure, it's..." "It's built in, you know." "And it ain't even about beating the drill, it's not that, it's about..." "It's about learning to live with the choices you've made." "My man." "Boss, I want you to know that I am honored to be learning this job from the best." "Gil:" "So, uh..." "I don't know, you take all the things that I love about being a beat cop and all the things that I'm good at, and you multiply that by 10 and that's..." "It's SRU for me." "So, I mean, I don't wanna be greedy, but you know it feels this right to be a cop."
