19-2 (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Deer - full transcript

Nick and Ben continue as partners and encounter an incident that they don't report. Ben is cleared of any wrong-doing in the shooting of a robbery suspect.

Previously on "19-2"...

Maybe we should call for backup.

No, no backup.

Harvey!

He wanted me to call for backup.

Nick, you did not shoot him.

You're not responsible.

Chartier, you will be
riding 19-2 with Barron.

Houle wants me solo.

Why?

Because I don't want to be
stuck on a team with you, Bambi.



You're not helping
yourself here, Chartier.

Either you fired
in self-defense,

or you had time to aim, which,
to me, indicates premeditation,

so which is it?

I fired in self-defense.

I have a problem... Nick Barron.

I need you to report back to me.

You mean be your rat.

Fine. I'll get someone else.

Unfortunately, I'm gonna
have to put you on a desk.

Or you can always go
back to Morin-Heights.

Oh, no.

You can't do that.

Can you?



- It's not yours!
- It's upstairs.

What's the problem?!

How many times
do I have to tell you?

It's not yours!

Hey! What do you think?

Do you think I'm
just gonna take it?

Do you think I'm
just gonna take it?

Fuck!

What's going on here?

He can't stay here.

He can't stay here anymore.

Okay? It's just
not possible, okay?

He eats my food.
He eats all my food.

He eats my steak.
He eats everything!

He eats my bacon. Okay?

You ate a whole pound
of bacon, you piece of shit!

Shut up!

Just shut your mouth and
put some clothes on, okay?

- Put some fucking clothes on!
- Hey! Hey!

Jesus Christ,
that's your father!

Yeah, and I'm gonna
kill him! I'm gonna kill him!

I'm gonna drown you
like a rat, you piece of shit!

Hey! Shut up!

Shut up and calm down!

You can change
his... his diapers then.

Shut up, you piece of shit!

You fucking piece of shit!

You hear me?! You worthless...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

Nick, Nick.

Just calm down. Okay? Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

Copy, 19-2.

The caller says one of them

was wearing a large hoodie.

At this point, he can't
see them anymore.

Copy that, dispatch.

What's your problem?

What do you think?

You went for your gun.

I went for my cuffs.

No, I saw you.

You're not fit.

You came back too soon.

19, we have a collision

blocking the intersection
at Berri and Cherrier.

It's the humidity.

So?

He's not fit for duty.

He shouldn't have been cleared.

That's right.

So, what can I use?

Sir?

I need cause.

A few words... That's all.

Officer Clark, Line 4.

You're making a left, all right?

Yeah.

There's nothing I can
tell you. The report is filed.

What does it say?

I can't tell you.

You'll get everything
at the hearing.

When?

Okay. Thank you.

It was a clean shot.

Do you have anything to tell me?

Not today, sir.

Tomorrow, then.

61-80. I got a Code White on
Louisa Road, 6 k. past the turn.

I need live support.

Patching you through.

Can you hear me?

What is your situation?

Hit-and-run. Boy,
maybe 10 years old.

He's unconscious,
broken right forearm.

His pulse is weak. I
need a paramedic here.

The nearest unit in
en route from Grenville.

That's not close enough.

It's all we got. The
unit is en route.

You'll be all right.

You'll be okay. You hang in.

Help's on the way.

You can't arrest
him! It was a mistake!

He nearly killed a little
boy. Now you stay there!

- Ah, no. Let him do his job!
- Get up!

- I had an accident.
- You know what you did.

You're not arresting
the real criminals, huh?

You can't do this!
You take those off him!

Stop.

You can't do this.

He's your father, Ben.

He's your father!

Ben!

Well, I hope you're
proud of yourself!

- Get in.
- Please. Stop.

- Get in.
- Please, Ben!

He's your father! Ben!

Which truck is he in?

Is it the first truck
or the second truck?

John, the third truck!

Fine, fine!

And where did she go?

- Okay, buddy.
- Right over there.

She's just coming
down the stairs now.

- What's all the fuss?
- Nothing.

- Domestic disturbance.
- The call said homicide.

Yeah. Dispatch screwed up.

The guy's got a cut on his head.

There's two squads
here. It's a total waste.

Ma'am.

- I do everything for you!
- Leave him alone!

You asshole!

- And you spend my money on her.
- Listen to her.

All right. Calm down, ma'am.

Prick! Goddamn dog!

You don't want her.

Bastard!

- Fucking scumbag!
- It's time to calm down.

Ma'am, it's time to...
Ma'am! Ma'am, please!

The bitch who sleeps
with my husband!

- Let me go!
- Settle down.

Let me go. Let me go!

You're all on his
side, all of you.

Pigs!

You don't want us
to put cuffs on you.

You want them to see
that? Hmm? Come on.

He's a junkie whisperer.

I'm so sorry.

Give me that.

Watch your head.

Don't worry about it.

We'll send them in the message.

Talk to Theo?

About what?

His birthday.

He wants us to do
something together.

Is this your idea?

No, it's his idea.
It's his birthday.

I'll come over. We'll do
something at the house.

We'll go to a movie.

Hey. Her teeth.

God damn it.

Hey!

Forgot her teeth!

God damn it. Make me run!

Damn you!

Hey. This is Catherine.

Leave a message.

Hey.

Another day, another message.

I guess I don't have your
new schedule down yet.

I thought you'd be home.

I miss you.

I miss hearing your voice.

I'll try you later.

So, how are things
going with Nick?

They're getting there.

Well, you know what?
Give him a chance.

Whatever he's like,
it's not personal.

Yeah, I get it.

Going to Marie's?

What's Marie's?

You don't know?

You ain't part of 19 till
you've been to Marie's.

Let me shower up.
I'll take you there.

All right. Sounds good.

What's happening with the, uh...

the investigation...
The shooting?

Ah, it's going to a hearing.

Oh. That's not good.

What does the commander say?

Well, he's not involved.

Well, he's the commander.

It can make a difference
if he has your back.

You're kidding me.
You actually brought it?

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm proud of you, man.

Nick...

40 bucks.

Nick.

Earth to Nick!

- Houston, we've lost contact.
- What?

40 bucks... For
Houle, for the gift.

$40?

I know. That's what I said.

- Cough it up.
- Wow.

- Put that away.
- World-famous Marie's.

It's pretty much
exactly like I pictured it.

I got to go.

I'll get it to you later.

Can we get four more over here?

Coming right up.

- That about me?
- Let it go, bro.

- Who's this?
- This is the new guy.

Ben. Chartier.

Marie.

You're old for a rookie.

- I'm not a rookie.
- Mm.

How long you been on the job?

- Eight years, ma'am.
- Where was this?

Ah, that's the question that's
been getting me in trouble.

- Morin-Heights.
- Oh, Jesus.

Small-town big shot.

Even worse than a rookie.

- Welcome to 19.
- Thank you very much.

- I need you.
- Yeah.

I need 40 bucks.

Aren't you gonna
ask what it's for?

She'll tell me.

Sergeant's hitting 20 years in.

Party's Friday.
Money's for the gift.

Oh, yeah? What's the gift?

- It's a surprise.
- Oh, okay.

- Tell him about the show.
- I will.

You're game, right, Ben?

Game for what?

Never mind. Forget I asked.

Theo!

Hey, Dad.

Theo, come pick up your shit!

I'm doing the dishes.

How many times have I
talked to you about this?

Huh?

Don't leave your
shit at the door.

How many times
have I told you that?

I'm sorry. I forgot.

Well, learn to remember!

50 times, Theo! I told
you at least 50 times!

There will be
order in this house!

We will not behave like animals!

Are we clear?!

Yes.

Oh, my God. Hi!

Mm!

- Hi.
- Mm.

So good to see you.
What are you doing here?

- I...
- Come in.

Come in, come in, come in.

- We have 12 hours.
- What?

Uh, I had an
exam... Certification.

My bus leaves at 8:00
a.m. tomorrow morning.

- God.
- And I wanted to surprise you!

Yeah, yeah. I'm surprised.

- Am I interrupting?
- No, no, no.

Come on.

Mm.

Mm.

You doing okay?

I'm starting to find my place.

You sounded so sad on the phone.

I'm not sad now.

Mm.

I missed you.

I don't know how you find
your way around this place.

Hmm?

I got lost just coming
from the Metro.

Well, it's big.

But it's easy.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Try to picture this, okay?

Yeah.

So, this is the river.

Runs along the south
towards the harbor.

I've been there. Old Montreal.

Mm-hmm.

And Saint-Catherine Street.

- Sherbrooke.
- Mm.

And then Saint-Laurent runs
down the center of the city,

north to south.

In the west, you got Peel.

That runs up
towards the mountain.

In the east,

you got Saint-Denis...

Papineau...

Saint-Michel.

This is home.

Sure, I can take a message.

Close the door.

I can't report on my partner.

So if you want to
put me on a desk

till I'm cleared
in the shooting,

then that's what it is.

Come on, Ben.

What's the problem?

Why do you feel the
need to protect this guy?

It's not about
him. It's about me.

Well, I thought you were a guy
who could do what's necessary.

I mean, a guy who could
arrest his own father, I'd think...

That's personal.

So you can do what's
necessary for personal reasons,

but not on the job?

He's my partner.

There's a code.

Understood.

Dismissed.

Gendron.

Guy's got a target
painted on my back.

He's just covering his ass.

I got Bambi looking over
my shoulder all the time.

So give him a chance.

Pain in my ass.

It's like a wart I'm sitting on.

I can't get comfortable.

He's a good cop.

I'm not...

I'm afraid, you know?

You know, I'm afraid that
things are gonna ramp up

and I'm not gonna be in control.

Look, Nick, you got to
go through this, all right?

You don't get better staying
at home, lying on the couch.

You get better by doing the job.

You were good for him.

We all know Harvey would
have drank himself off the job

if it wasn't for you.

Yeah, they call that an enabler.

The guy shot both of you, Nick.

Don't forget that.

Okay. Here.

This is for Harvey.

Hey, buddy.

Look what I brought
you. Remember these?

From Marie's.

Smell it.

Mmm. Good, right?

All right, you hold it.

Oh! Hold it.

Hold it.

Here you go.

Get it in there.

Okay.

Bring it to your mouth.

No, your other mouth.

Here you go. Open up.

Open. Open up.

Oh, Harvey!

All right.

Let's try that again.

I got faith in you.

You can do this, all right?

Number two.

Okay?

Here we go.

So, why'd you shoot the guy?

He's up on a fire escape.
Where's he gonna go?

Why do you care all of a sudden?

I'm riding with you.
I got a right to know.

Okay, why don't you tell me
about how you shot a guy?

Which you did, right?

That's different.

- Yeah, your guy died.
- My guy shot my partner.

10-4. Copy that.

I guess if you can't explain it,

then it's not a clean
shot, then, is it?

The guy pulled a knife
and jumped on me.

- Is that clean enough for you?
- Okay.

Yeah, I'm not in need
of your approval. Thanks.

My question is, why
do I have to ask?

Why couldn't you stand
up and defend yourself?

What the hell do you
think I've been doing?

Why? What do you know about it?

Nothing. None of my business.

Did your wife say something?

Nope.

4:00.

Gang colors?

Purple. D-Crew.

These guys are small-time.

19-2. We're leaving the
vehicle. Logan and Plessis.

Chasing possible
vandalism suspects on foot.

Copy, 19-2. Keep in touch.

Oh. Well, this isn't good.

Green's 6ers. More wannabes.

Whose block is it?

Let's talk to them and find out.

- It's not your corner!
- What you say?

I said, "It's not your corner"!

Oh, you think so?

What the hell is this, huh?

- What's happening?
- Mess him up.

What's happening
right here, huh?! Huh?!

Come on! Mess him up!

What the hell you
think's gonna happen?

- I didn't do shit, man!
- Huh? Huh?

Drop the weapon!
Let me see your hands!

Stay where you are
and raise your hands.

Both of you... now. Do it.

- Shit.
- Let go of the heat.

- Drop it!
- Hold on, hold on.

- Don't do this.
- Shut up!

- Don't do this!
- Shut up! Let it go!

Hey! Hey!

Let it the fuck go! Shut up!

Let it go! Drop it!

Put the gun down! Put it down!

You put your fucking gun down!

- Nobody move!
- Now, asshole! Drop!

I'm dropping. I'm dropping.

Don't do anything
stupid, my man.

- Don't do it.
- Your turn.

Put it down.

- That's not gonna happen.
- I'll off him.

- Nick, shoot him!
- That's not gonna happen either.

- Put it the fuck down!
- Listen to me!

You pull that trigger,
and I will shoot you.

Shut up! Shut the fuck up!

- Nobody move!
- Nick, shoot him!

Listen to me!

You pull that trigger,
and you will die!

He dies, too.

- Shoot him, Nick!
- Shut the fuck up!

- You let him go and walk away.
- Nick!

It never happened, and
I won't come after you.

You'll shoot me in
the back of the head.

How am I gonna explain that?

Nick!

How do I explain
any of this shit?

Now you have a choice here...

you walk away or die.

It's not hard.

- Man, look...
- It's not hard.

Nick. Nick.

Fuck.

- Don't do it!
- Nick!

Fucking bitch!

- What are you doing?
- No, they're gone.

- This is their home.
- So? We call in units.

- We canvass houses.
- It's not gonna happen.

I told you... These
guys are small-time.

He just had a fucking
gun to my head!

And now it's over!

How's it gonna look? Hmm?

Are you telling me
not to call this in?

Are you crazy? I
f-f-fired a round.

Yeah, and it wouldn't
be your first time either.

Look, I can get
you a service bullet.

W...

Nick, we didn't
do anything wrong.

I just had a gun to my head.

There's nothing but
trouble waiting for us

if we call this in.

Trust me.

19-2.

We couldn't find the vandals.
There's nothing to report.

Copy, 19-2.

Something up?

The commander put you on admin.

I'm sorry.

Could Sergeant Brisebois

please report to
the reception area?

How come you haven't called me?

I think you know.

What happened...
She take you back?

She's not going to, Nick.

We're over, Audrey.

Yeah, you say that.

But you don't believe it.

Hey, I'm putting
in to switch shifts.

I hear you don't
like your partner.

Wow. That movie was amazing!

A visual spectacle.

It wasn't bad.

- I knew she'd like it.
- I saw you smiling.

Don't hide it.

Hey, can I get a burger?

Still hungry?

Of course.

- Thank you.
- Happy birthday.

- You killed it.
- Yeah.

You see how he enjoys this?

It's not easy for him.

It's not easy for anyone.

Did he tell you
he's got a girlfriend?

- He does not.
- Mm-hmm.

Arianna.

It's new.

How come he tells you?

I'm not his mother.

No kidding.

You still on days next week?

My first exam is coming up.

I just need you to pick
him up from school.

- That's not our deal, Izzy.
- Look, either you get him,

or he spends an hour
and a half on the bus.

It's not about Theo.

I'm happy spending
time with Theo.

It's about us.

Fine. If you can't do it...

Of course I'll

What day?

- Wednesday?
- Wednesday.

All good.

Latendresse.

That will be $3.

Okay. Hot sauce?

- Hey.
- It's good?

Yeah. It's all good, little man.

I have to go.

- I'll take him.
- Okay.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.
- Mm.

Happy birthday.

- Thank you.
- Mm.

This about Chartier?

I can't talk about it, Nick.

Hey. How's that burger?

It wasn't my call.

I was against it.

Bye.

Chartier, room 113B.

Hey.

We're up.

Officer Chartier...

I have charges before
me for careless discharge,

reckless endangerment,
and failure to give warning.

I do not find
sufficient evidence

to proceed with any of them.

Dismissed.

Okay. Thank you, ma'am.

So, uh...

we found something
special for you.

- Oh, yeah!
- Ow!

- Oh, yeah, baby.
- Ah.

Whoo!

Magic pills.

- Just for you.
- Whoo!

Uh, don't forget...

If symptoms continue
for more than four hours...

call J.M.

Well, hello, there.

Hey.

I thought you were gonna quit.

I am.

Want to go for a ride?

I'm missing the party.

Ah, they're just doing
the rookie thing in there.

You're not missing much.

Come on. What do you say?

Hmm?

Around the block.

Let the wind blow in your hair.

Hmm?

You always loved it.

I don't want to mess up my hair.

It took me forever.

Oh, come on. Please.

I don't like your
motorcycle, Nick.

It's dangerous.

I'm gonna get me a pickup truck.

Of course you are.

God!

I was molested by
a beaver as a child.

This is terribly insensitive.
You realize that?

- Oh, you look awesome, bro.
- You do.

I look ridiculous. You
know I look ridiculous.

This is for Houle.
He's a hunter.

- He's gonna find it hilarious.
- Yeah. Sure, he will.

- Aah!
- There you go.

- You got her?
- All right! Ready to go.

You guys, stay here
and don't let him see you.

How cute.

Oh, that's the confetti?

Okay. That's not so bad.

Oh, look, a talking beaver.

Oh, fun. We're making jokes now.

- Watch your tail.
- Oh, good. Thanks, man.

You're funny. He's laughing.

- This is great.
- Ooh-ooh!

At least I don't have a
testicle under my chin.

Thank God for that.

Ahh.

- You want another?
- Sure.

Can we have another?

You deserve it.

You're on the lists.

The exams...

first group.

Holy shit.

You're ready.

Congratulations.

You're going places, Detective.

And I'm gonna be able to say
that I knew you back in the day.

What's with the costumes?

Well, sir, we told them
that you love hunting.

Why?

Well, 'cause it's
funny like this, no?

So, 20 years ago, this
old, ancient, grizzled man

you see standing before
you was a raw-ass rookie,

and his squad threw him
a party at a sugar shack.

And they told Houle that
they were going hunting.

But that was bullshit.

All they wanted to
do was haze him.

Yeah, baby!

Yeah!

Yeah!

- Yes!
- Yes.

That's what you call
a maple-glazed rookie!

Welcome to 19, suckers!

Yeah!

I thought you
said it was confetti.

Nobody said it
was just confetti.

Could you turn that
up for me, please?

Four shootings in
the last seven months

have left residents of
Montreal's north end

scared and angry.

They've been waiting
for a big police response,

and today, they got it.

The Guns and Gangs unit
executed seven warrants,

resulting in four arrests.

Three warrants
are still outstanding,

and we expect to make more
arrests in the coming days.

Yeah!

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Yeah!

We got to report it.

No, we don't.

We can't just let these idiots
pull guns on us and walk away.

Someone's gonna get shot.

This guy is armed and paranoid.

He was armed and paranoid
before we showed up.

Oh, come on, man.

This guy's gonna think
we're coming after him.

So the next cop that walks
up to him... What do you think's

- gonna happen?
- Guns and Gangs

are not interested in
our local wannabes.

I told you... They're cracking
down on Montreal North.

I can't just sit on it.

- It's not right.
- Listen to me. Listen to me.

The only people who are
gonna suffer if we report it is us.

You understand?

I can't sit on it.

No.

I hear you have real trouble
keeping your mouth shut.

Yeah? What did you hear?

How'd your little meeting
with the commander go? Hmm?

What did you two
lovebirds talk about?

He asked me to report on you.

I said no.

You might have noticed
I got put on a desk.

Yeah, hey.

I ran into a little thing
today at Kent Park.

D-Crew and 6ers.

Anyway, one of the
D-Crew pulled on my partner.

I couldn't call it
in. It was messy.

All I'm saying is, put it
on the radar, will you?

Thank you.

What, so that's it?

I know the guy.

He'll flag it around
the gang squad.

- That's not gonna do it.
- They don't give a shit.

You report it now, the
only thing they're gonna see

is the fact that
we covered it up.

You were cleared once.

You want to go for
seconds already?

Nobody upstairs
is gonna lift a finger

about the fucking D-Crew.

To replace the one you fired.

Where did you get that?

A friend.

Oh, hey, Chartier.

I am so glad

- that I put you back on patrol.
- Thank you, sir.

You should have
never faced charges.

I appreciate that.

I think I'm gonna
keep you with Barron.

You're a good influence.

Okay.

And I think you made a
very good deer tonight.

I admire the deer.

It's a magnificent animal.

Perfectly suited for
survival in the wilderness.

Of course, in the city...

So, are you back
together with her or not?

I never left her, Audrey.

You live alone in
an apartment, Nick.

What, are you saving yourself?

She didn't take you back
after Harvey got shot, did she?

It's not cheating.

Ahh! No.

It's supposed to
go in your mouth.

I know.

You always had a
problem with that.

Shut up.

Thank you.

Hey.

It was just a thing,
Izzy, all right?

- It's over.
- When?

A couple months ago.

Whatever, Nick. It's your life.

I'm not interested in her!

No, you just jump on
anything that moves.

You asked me to
leave, Izzy, remember?

Yeah, but I wanted
it to work, Nick.

I tried.
