19-2 (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Borders - full transcript

After the arrest of a misunderstood homeless man and the retrieval of a runaway, Nick and Ben realize that not everyone can be saved.

BEATRICE:
Previously on "19-2"...

MALLOY: Chartier, why
don't you just let us worry

about the big picture?

You focus on Barron.

You said the mole
could be anybody in 19.

I would like to welcome
back Audrey Pouliot.

I just don't want any
special treatment, you know?

Well, you won't get any from me.

Oh, for f...

You go to meetings.
Random testing.

How many meetings?



Three a week for a year.

- Get up!
- Didn't do the job.

I had an accident!

I know what you did.

He's your father!

[Birds chirping]

GLORIA: Hey there.

Good morning, beautiful.

Good morning.

You don't remember me, do you?

Oh, I remember. [Chuckles]

And yet you don't.

Think back.

A long time ago.



[Sighs]

Okay.

Phyllis Linarose.

I'm her sister.

Phyllis Linarose.

How do I know that name?

Phyl the Thrill?

You're Phyl the Thrill's sister?

You've been in my house!

[Exhales sharply]

You really don't remember.

[Birds chirping]

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

[Keys jingling]

Hi.

What happened?

Oh, we caught a murder.

Homicide didn't, um, didn't
show up till 5:00 in the morning.

You could've called.

I know. My stupid phone died.

Just go back to sleep.

I got to shower
and go right back in.

[Drawer closes]

Ben.

You need a new battery.

I know. I'll get one.

I love you.

I love you too.

[Water running]

[Mid-tempo music plays]

[Siren wailing]

WOMAN ON RADIO: Copy, 19-2.

[Indistinct conversations,
telephone ringing]

[Breathing heavily]

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing here?

You okay?

I'm not loving the attention.

It'll pass.

WOMAN ON P.A.:
Attention, all officers.

The general meeting
will start in 15 minutes.

It's a reminder.

You really need one?

I got to get dressed.

Yeah.

Okay. Chartier, Barron,
19-2, lunch at 12:00.

Brouillard, Legare,
19-7, lunch at 11:00.

Hamelin, Pouliot, 19-4.

- Lunch will be at 1:00.
- J.M.: Riding together again.

You turn her gay, Bear, and
I'm coming for one of yours.

If anyone's gonna turn me
gay, J.M., I'm looking at him.

- [Laughter]
- J.M.: Please.

One taste, you'd be
coming back for more.

- Ouch.
- Okay.

Pouliot, you're due for
recert at the gun range.

- You guys can go after lunch.
- Looking forward to it.

Uniform quotas.

- Commander?
- Your squad's over again.

You're out of replacements
for the rest of the year.

So they're just supposed
to go out in stained shirts?

- That'll be good for optics.
- GENDRON: Was I talking to you?

Keep 'em clean
and make 'em last.

"Keep 'em clean
and make 'em last."

Sure, boss. No problem.

I'll think about that next time
I see someone bleeding out

on the street.

New batch of bulletins.

Speed traps this
week, downtown core.

- Ran into Amélie the other day.
- [Indistinct talking on radio]

Had to go back in
over my statement.

She was doing follow-up
with the kids at the school.

Does Catherine know?

All right.

I just got to sort
something out.

- Five minutes.
- What's up?

Family shit.

[Engine shuts off, door closes]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey.

So what's this emergency?

Look at this shit.

- What is it?
- Some zoning bullshit.

Talked to a lawyer.
He says I'm screwed.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay what?

Someone's being a dick.

Says your building
isn't zoned for industry.

What industry? It's a body shop.

Yeah. Well, it's
not zoned right.

- Okay. Why is it coming up now?
- I don't know.

Maybe some bylaw
officer trying to make quota.

Okay. So what we
gonna do about it?

We?

It's your money too.

What the hell am
I supposed to do?

Nick, come on, man.

The lawyer says
if we go to court,

they could open up the books.

[Welding torch crackling]

BEN: So what was that about?

Oh, nothing.

It's just business.

You in business
with your cousin?

It's complicated.

It looked like it.

- Oop. Ten o'clock.
- Five bucks she was flashed.

I'll take that.

Step back, ma'am. You okay?

- What's the problem?
- Oh, God. There's this guy.

He's over there, and
he's really creepy.

- NICK: What's going on?
- WOMAN: I don't know.

He tried to attack me.
He's killing squirrels.

BEN: Did he touch
you? Did he hurt you?

WOMAN: No, but I ran away.

- NICK: He's just over here?
- WOMAN: He's over there.

Want me to collect now or later?

[Indistinct talking on radio]

Get your coffee.

How you doing, sir?

Piggies in a blanket.
Piggies in a blanket!

How many squirrels
you got there?

There's eight.
Eight. I got eight.

Cock.

You're not allowed
to hunt squirrels, sir.

Got a small-game license. Cock!

Do you have Tourette's, sir?

N-Never heard of it.

BEN: How'd you manage
to bag eight squirrels?

With my disability?

No, with your slingshot.

[Grunts]

The tics go away
when I'm hunting.

My dad figured it out.

[Chuckles]

Cock!

Sorry.

Well, the woman over there
says you threatened her.

'Cause she was being a cunt!

Hey, come on.
Don't... Don't say that.

It's the condition.

She wants to press charges.

Well, fuck her and
fuck you too, asshole!

Oh. All right, guys.
Let's move away.

Give us a little space.

MAN: Titty-titty ta-ta!

I got a diagnosis, okay?!

- [Grunting]
- Why don't... Why don't we...

Cock... Cock...
Cock... Cocksucker!

How about we leave the park

for those who don't
want to get sworn at?

You have a place to go?

Huh?

I-I'm eating squirrels.
What the fuck do you think?

We can get you
a bed at a shelter.

I hate shelters.

They won't let me
in with my food.

Well, I'm afraid I'm
gonna have to take that.

- Hey, screw you!
- Calm down, sir. Just calm...

- Don't take my shit!
- You can't touch me.

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. Put your
hands in front of you.

Put 'em in front of you.

[Keys jingling]

Just right in front of
you. Be still, okay?

Sure! Arrest an old man!

Don't arrest the real criminals!

What are you waiting for?!

[Exhales sharply]

Slow, slow. Go slow.

Go slow.

[Down-tempo music playing]

MAN ON RADIO:
19, we have a robbery,

two suspects, dépanneur,
corner Rachel and Fabre.

AUDREY: 19-4 responding.

NICK: That's Audrey.
I'm gonna swing by.

BEN: There'll be like
four other cars there.

NICK: We're almost there.

BEATRICE: So they
took the cash register.

Yeah.

I-I couldn't open it, so the
guy just fucking took the...

- What did they look like, sir?
- Bear.

One tall guy, one short guy.

He had... It was like a...

Look at these guys.

- Look at these guys!
- You got to be kidding me.

- [Siren blares]
- Cut it.

19-2 in pursuit of two men
carrying a cash register,

Notre-Dame and St-Augustin.

- Stop! Stop! Stop!
- [Siren chirps]

They're right there.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Put it down! Hands!

Hands! Up against the wall!

Put it down! Get
against the wall!

- You got him?
- Got him.

Good.

[Sniffs]

Got him?

Get 'em out of here.

19-4.19-2 has
suspects apprehended.

WOMAN ON P.A.:
Attention, all officers.

Please report to room
515 for a general meeting.

[Door buzzes, clicks]

I got eight! Eight
in the cooler!

Don't ask.

Don't tell me. [Laughs]

I want to guess.

It's all right.
You're all right.

I got to take this shirt
from you, all right?

Help me out here.

I'm gonna put it in the bag and
give it back to you after, okay?

[Door buzzes, clicks]

AUDREY: Fuck, I hate that.

What?

Turd the size of a cantaloupe,
and she's just walking on.

Excuse me.

I believe that belongs to you.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
I ran out of bags.

Well, let me help you out.

Pop it.

[Latch clicks]

Here you go.

Fascists.

- Excuse me?
- Hey! Leave her alone!

Why are you bothering her?

Don't you have
anything better to do?

This is a joke. You're
just being bullies.

This doesn't concern you, sir.

Why don't you go get
yourself a doughnut, dyke?

Hey, watch your mouth.

Do you have a problem with
how we're doing our job, sir?

I think you provide a
very valuable service.

There was a jaywalker
here a moment ago.

You just missed him.

- Can I see your ID?
- What for?

I'm giving you a ticket.
Drinking in public.

This... is my property.

Well, feel free to contest it.

What's your name?

Ronald McDonald.

We could take you into the
station, make it a lot worse.

What for? I haven't
done anything.

Fucking pigs.

What'd you say?

You heard me. [Spits]

That is not acceptable. Put
your hands behind your back!

- Fuck this!
- Come back here!

19-4. We need backup.

MAN: George! George!

[Indistinct shouting]

Let go of me!

[Grunts] Aah! Ow!

- Aah! You're hurting me!
- Shut up! Shut up!

- Hands behind your back.
- You're fucking crazy!

Calm down.

[Indistinct shouting]

Why are you doing that?

- But he's harmless!
- I need you to stay back!

Please, just stay back!

MAN: I didn't do anything!

Hey. Lookit. I want to
know why you're doing this.

Just let him go!

MAN: Hey! Oh, no, you're not!

Fucking shut up!

Calm the fuck down!

MAN: What are the charges?!

Get off of me!

[Shouting indistinctly]

[Grunts]

- Hands behind your back!
- MAN: Hey!

- Fucking asshole!
- Patrick! Patrick!

Aah!

[Indistinct shouting]

Police brutality!

- Police brutality!
- Get the fuck back in there!

- You get back in there!
- What'd he do?!

- You get the fuck back in there!
- Tell me what he did!

- I don't give a shit!
- I have a right to know!

- No, you don't!
- Tell me!

- It's police work!
- No!

You turn that off! You
shut that off, okay?

Do you hear that?!

You get back in there! Fuck...

[Down-tempo music playing]

[Siren wails,
indistinct shouting]

Back up, okay?

Come on. Come on.
Just back up. Please.

- Yeah. She's crazy!
- NICK: All right. All right.

- Show's over. Let's go.
- Oh, yeah. Okay.

Let's go, all right?
Get out of here.

It's time to move. Make a move.

MAN: I'm gonna make
a complaint about this!

Yeah. Well, you
fucking do that, asshole!

- Fuck!
- MAN: Jesus.

I think it's time for
you to leave, sir.

It's time to go. Thank
you. Thank you, folks.

- Thank you for cooperating.
- NICK: Go back to your jobs.

It's done, all right?

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey, what happened here?

[Sighs] She lost it.

Ramped it up against the old
guy and freaked out on the crowd.

NICK: Is this the first time?

She's been totally
fine up until now.

Nothing wrong.

She does not need
this going around.

Yeah, you're right. She doesn't.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Where are you? I was supposed
to pick you up 15 minutes ago.

Oh, sorry, Mom. I...

My class got sent to the library
for some research assignment.

- Theo, I'm on a shift.
- [Bell ringing]

I said I was sorry.

What library?

Uh, it's... it's fine. I
can... I'll take the bus.

Okay. Just make sure
you're home in time for dinner.

THEO: Yeah. Okay. Bye.

Bye.

- She buy it?
- Of course she did.

Guess cops aren't
that smart after all.

[Keys clicking, computer beeps]

What could you possibly
be looking up now?

You.

WOMAN ON RADIO:
Attempted break-in at 765 Pontiac.

19-7 responding.

- [Siren wailing]
- Why did you just do that?

We have 40
minutes left on shift.

You said the cutoff
time was half an hour.

[Dog barking in
distance, engine starts]

You. Wait at the car.

See?

So you didn't see anything?

No. I told you... I heard them.

And you didn't bother
to look out the window?

I didn't want them to
know that I was home.

Okay.

Well, I mean, it looks
like it could be a squirrel

or a raccoon or something.

I don't know.

I know what a
raccoon sounds like.

All right. I'll file a report.

All right.

Look, Ms. Renner.

We both know this
just reeks of bullshit,

so let's make a deal.

I won't charge you with
making a fraudulent 911 call,

and you'll agree to leave
my partner alone from now on.

You think I called 911 so
that I could see your partner?

Abso-fuckin'-lutely.

How would that work, exactly?

Would I just call 911

and tell the operator which
cop I want her to send over,

like ordering a pizza?

Lady, I don't know.

Rationalize all you want, okay?

You fucked a guy in a St-Denis
shitter while he was on the job.

I heard a noise at
my back door, okay?!

Okay.

Okay.

I told you. I will
write a report.

Thank you.

Is there anything else, ma'am?

Officer.

Ma'am?

Say I did want to see
your partner again.

How would I do that?

MAN ON RADIO: 34-6.
We're coming up to De Lorimier.

So?

Idiot.

[Knock on door]

What's wrong with my file?
The shoplifter. You held it up.

You forgot to attach
his extradition papers.

Judge needs them.

What papers? Extradition where?

Manitoba. Call the RCMP.

Is this the, uh,
lieutenant's application?

Yeah.

You'll get it.

I'm not putting in this year.

- Why not?
- Nick.

Come on. That's bullshit.
You should've made it last year.

Nick.

It's your life.

Barron.

The thing today with
Audrey... You were there?

Yeah. We saw most of it. Why?

Apparently the guy's
some kind of folk singer.

He has friends.
There were complaints.

It was by the book.

Audrey tried to make an arrest.
Guy's friends crossed the line.

Ask Bear.

Leon?

What happened to him?

He got into two
fights in holding.

- He should be isolated.
- And I'm sure he will be.

He's been charged.

[Indistinct conversations]

ISABELLE: The guy sang
at the mayor's inauguration.

How could you not
have recognized him?

I like R&B.

He said you entered
without permission.

He was fleeing.

I was in pursuit.

Fleeing from what?

He spat at me.

Did you use excessive force?

Not even close.

She was by the book.
His friends escalated.

You fucking shut this
thing off! Do you hear that?!

Fuck that!

All of you, step
back! All of you!

MAN: What the
hell is the problem?

AUDREY: 'Cause this is
the law! It's the fucking law!

This is going to your file.

I'm sorry.

Goddamn white shirts.

One minute she's trying
to be my new best friend,

and the next she's
writing me up.

She's just doing her job.

Yeah, so let me do mine.

[Indistinct talking on P.A.]

[Doorbell rings]

Oh.

I was not expecting you.

Need a favor.

Yeah.

Okay.

No. That's good.

Okay. Yeah. Thanks.

Bye.

[Telephone beeps]

Well, your guy has
clearly got some issues.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

His file's a mess.

He's clearly living with
coprolalia... the swearing...

But I think it's a
mask for something.

OCD maybe.

Either way, he hasn't
been diagnosed.

So there's nothing you can do?

Well, no.

Um, I've got a guy who
can get him on a psych form,

and they'll evaluate
him, and then...

I can probably get him into a
group home if he's open to that.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

So what's so special
about this guy?

He's not gonna
do well in prison.

I just couldn't be
responsible, you know?

Yeah.

How you doing?

One of those days.

Do you want to go grab a drink?

Yeah.

I can't, though.

I've got, um...

A thing?

It's... It's not Catherine.

It's just...

Just a thing.

[Vehicles passing]

BEN: Where's your partner?

GIRARD: Taking a personal day.

Which I hope includes a hot
bath and a therapy session.

You and I, we've got stones
around our necks, Chartier.

So, uh, Nick.

This is who he's been
spending all his time with.

Cassie Clement.

Assault.

Possession.

Possession with intent.

Weapons.

They're cousins.

Is that all they are?

They're in, uh, some
kind of business together.

What kind of business?

I don't know.

Well, we will find out.

Get the password
from Nick's phone.

Unlock it. Stick this in.

Five seconds,
light will turn green.

Right. I'll just, uh, I'll
just get his password.

Nick's a good cop.

Well, if he's clean...

you're not really
doing him any harm.

[Cat yowling, siren
wailing in distance]

MAN: Chartier.

Sir?

Is this, uh...

What, uh, what is this about?

My daughter hasn't come
home in... in three days.

- Did you have a fight?
- It doesn't matter.

What matters is you
can help me find her.

Did she have a fight
with... with somebody else...

A boyfriend or something?

I don't know. I, uh...

I don't know if she...
if she has a boyfriend.

She's an addict.

What's she on?

She's a junkie.

Whatever the hell
she can get hands on.

Tell me... Tell
me what I can do.

Tell me what you need.

I need you to go
and look for her.

- If she sees me, then...
- Sure. Sure.

- It's...
- Sure.

- And keep this between us.
- Of course.

I, uh... know some of the
places that she, uh, hangs out.

[Paper crinkling]

Bars and, uh...

This is a...

This is a photo of her.

How old is she?

She's 16.

[Siren wailing in distance]

[Up-tempo music playing]

MAN: I've never
seen her before, okay?

BEN: Why don't you
have an actual look

- and tell me if you're sure?
- Why?

You a cop?

It's my friend's daughter.

She's been missing a
few days. Help me out.

Like I said, I've
never seen her before.

Give us a minute.

Isaac.

You been playing
with my partner?

Nick, man, I didn't know
you were a part of this.

About this girl
we're looking for.

You give him a name?

- No.
- Good.

He doesn't need one.

He just needs to tell
us who her dealer is.

Look, she almost never
buys from here, okay?

So where does she go?

[Vehicles passing]

MAN: Where's my money?!

NICK: Hey! Hey! Hey!
Come on. Take it easy.

Just take it easy, all right?

[Door closes]

[Engine starts]

She's been buying at
a motel. Ville d'Anjou.

Harder stuff than this.

It's called a narcotics buy.

Bill Gendron.

- Let's get out of here.
- [Engine starts]

NICK: So you saw Amélie.

Yeah, at the command
post. I told you.

[Vehicles passing]

And?

And we went for a drink.

What'd you talk about?

You.

Sounds romantic.

No, it wasn't.

She told me about your dad.

What'd she tell you?

That he took off
when you were a kid.

[Exhales sharply]

Yeah.

That's how my mother tells it.

Said he's probably in Jamaica

surrounded by a
brood of bastard kids.

And you don't believe her?

If your dad's gone, he's gone.

It doesn't matter why.

Sure, it does.

Don't you want to know
what happened to him?

Word in the neighborhood
is someone put a hit on him.

Really?

I believe it.

He was a crook.

Caught up with him.

Just 'cause they
couldn't find the body

doesn't make it a mystery.

You ever wonder who killed him?

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Door closes, opens]

I don't think that's her.

Wait here.

All you have to do
is make them happy.

Okay?

There. Go like this.

Take that shirt off.

Hey, I got a surprise for you.

Grown-up shoes.

There we go.

[Thud]

- The fuck you doing?
- Aah!

[Grunts]

He's got a gun!

[Down-tempo music playing]

NICK: Hold the door.

[Coughing]

[Engine starts,
tires screeching]

So we saw the
girl. We had to act.

There was no time.
You understand that.

You got the girl out,
so that's what matters.

Did she say something?

Not yet.

We've got the gun you took, so
maybe that'll lead somewhere.

NICK: So what's gonna
happen to the girl?

Well, no ID, no
missing-persons report,

so she'll go into care.

[Indistinct talking on radio]

[Indistinct conversations]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I want to talk about something.
- Sure.

I think Theo needs help.

His marks.

Yeah, I want to get
him a tutor. I'll pay for it.

Math and English.

And science.

And science.

Does that help?

With your exam?

I'm not taking the exam.

I was just thinking if I...

It's not open for
discussion, Nick.

Why not?

What's stopping you?

Look. I'm just
trying to help here.

You know what, Nick?

You want to help me?

Stop acting like
we're still married.

Give people a chance
to stop thinking about you

when they look at me.

Is that why you
didn't get promoted?

Nick, just... drop it.

It's 'cause of me.

WOMAN ON P.A.:
Could Officer Fournier

please report to
the parking lot?

There's an open file.

I think it's 'cause of Harvey.

We were married and...

- What open file?
- I don't know.

They just told me to wait.

[Cellphone ringing]

Yeah.

Is she with anyone?

[Indistinct talking on radio]

You got a name?

Yeah.

- All right.
- What's up?

Apparently, Gendron's
daughter is with some scumbag

named McCray.

- Yeah.
- Goes by Bixi.

All right. I got his
address here in the Pointe.

[Cellphone chimes]

Well, hello, Gloria.

Who's Gloria?

Oh. Nobody.

[Birds chirping, children
shouting in distance]

[Down-tempo music playing]

[Music continues]

I need...

I need you to come
home, Sandrine.

It's not home.

I can't...

[Sighs] I can't keep doing this.

I want my daughter back.

I'm not a child.

I know.

I know.

But you're in trouble.

And... And I'm
here for you, okay?

Bullshit!

Bullshit.

Do you think I'm
ever gonna trust you?

Am I going to the station?

No.

No, but...

Will you listen to me?

[Door opens]

[Laughs]

TYLER: You laughing at
my follow-through, dog?

I'm laughing at the shoes.

You laughing at this?

Zero toe-heel drop,
baby, fresh out the box.

Kid at the store
said this is the shit.

Try and look the part
if you want to fit in.

Oh? What part is that?

I'm your new bantam
basketball coach, baby.

Forging a new
generation of Globetrotters.

Well, I'll say it again,
man. You look good.

Thanks a lot, man.

That goddamn bullet
gave me my life back.

I'm glad to hear that someone's
seeing our school shooting

in a positive light.

Thank you, Chartier. I'll
take that as a compliment.

What about you?

I'm fine.

You don't look fine, dog.

I'm just saying, if you want
to go for a drink... anytime.

[Laughs]

I knew that'd get
your attention.

Asshole in my meeting says
humor is the best remedy.

Oh, yeah? How's
that make you feel?

Like punching
him in the nut sack.

[Both laugh]

You want to catch practice?

- Mm.
- "Mm."

You're missing the boat, baby.

Work on that
follow-through. I tell you!

[Ball bouncing, siren
wailing in distance]

Hey, it's me.

Um, Tyler Joseph's
been cleared for duty.

He's quit drinking.

Um, so anything
that you want to...

Yeah. Hold...

Yeah. Okay.

Leon!

It's time for you
to see the doctor!

[Siren chirps]

NICK: Commander.

Can I have a word?

What's this about?

You got a friend on the
zoning board, isn't that right?

Uh-huh.

What do you want?

It's my cousin.

He's got this business and, uh,
he needs to change the zoning.

Are you serious?

The place has been in business
for 40 years, no complaints.

It's a bullshit violation.

It'll put him out of business.

Okay.

No more favors.

[Door opens]

That's just bullshit.

A folk singer with clout.

Yeah.

I lost it.

No, you didn't. You
just got wound up.

Shrink told me it would happen.

She said either
that or fear, so...

You got the job done.

I know.

I'm fine, you know?

Kind of got a kick out of it.

And, you know, the
only thing I regret

is not bringing in his
asshole of a friend there.

Clark?

- George.
- George!

"George! Help!"

[Both laugh]

George!

What an asshole.

Oh, no.

That scar.

It's beautiful.

Really.

I could have gotten it fixed.

- Who's George?
- A dick.

[Laughs]

I hear Tyler's doing great.

Good to have him back.

Did you hear he
stopped drinking?

Good for him.

It's not gonna last.

[Indistinct shouting,
shoes squeaking]

Oh!

Got to make those, son!

Hey, Nicky. What's
up? You call me?

Yeah.

Took care of your thing.

Our thing.

Whatever.

Come on. Get back on D!

So just like that?

It's done, all right?

Never happened.

I knew you had pull.

I don't.

It's a one-time thing.

Hey. Look at me. Look at me.

You owe me.

[Down-tempo music playing]

[Water running]

[Music continues]

[Music continues]

THEO: Who was that guy?

It's my cousin.

How come I never met him before?

You probably don't remember.

We sort of lost touch
ever since my dad...

Took off.

You don't know that.

Grandma says...

Grandma doesn't know either.

He was killed.

[Indistinct conversations]

Figure the cops did it.

Come here.

Come here, boy.

The one thing in this life
that you don't want to do...

is make enemies.

You want to get along.

Do you hear me?

Yes, sir.

You'd have liked him.

My dad.

Was he a lot like you?

Nah.

I don't think he was.

Ah.

It's all good.

I got to go on my tippy-toes.

[Insects chirping]

[Parking brake clicks,
engine shuts off]

[Siren wailing in distance]
