Reef Break (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Green Tide - full transcript
After an explosion at a refinery, it is up to Cat to find out who is responsible.
Previously on "Reef Break"...
The Governor would like
to put you on a retainer.
Our island has unique problems.
Some problems the police
don't even need to know about.
Wyatt is not my boyfriend.
We are friends with benefits.
Maybe this is not as casual
as we keep saying it is.
Maybe.
Carter Eastland...
You're the most powerful man
on the Reef.
Mr. Eastland is an ally.
It's a mutually fruitful
relationship.
We'll need you
to sign where indicated.
What are you guys doing here?
Rescuing you.
That's not a word.
You made it up.
It is one hundred percent
a real word.
Wow. Okay.
A metamorphic mineral.
Named after the place
it was discovered.
Cummington, Massachusetts.
You know, this is not a hobby
I pictured you having,
Detective Cole.
Well, it started in the academy.
First time a classmate of mine
snickered at the word "penal"...
kind of became
a weird obsession after that.
That is... vaguely charming.
What? Do you think
you can do better?
I don't know.
Why don't you tell me?
Apex.
Abandoned.
Frenzied.
Something dirtier.
Fused.
Heated.
Succulent.
Throbbing.
Rhythmic.
Arched.
Favor. Debt. Trouble.
That's not really a turn-on.
That's because I'm talking about
Carter Eastland.
And what you had to do
to get that helicopter
he loaned you.
You mean the one
that saved your ass?
My ass has been in much
trickier situations. No doubt.
Alright. Ooh.
Wow. What is that ringtone?
What are you,
a 16-year-old girl?
She is a very talented artist.
Cole here.
Yeah.
Copy that.
There's been an explosion
at the Eastland Refinery.
I got to go.
Although, I have a feeling
I might be seeing you there.
Ms. Dumont!
Ms. Dumont,
given Eastland Empire's
terrible environmental record...
What record is that?
Three straight failed
EPA inspections...
This is the only story
on the Reef.
I'm here.
Is there any suspicion
of foul play?
At a time of crisis like this,
it is crucial
that we do not allow
wild and unfounded speculation
to inflame an already
highly charged situation.
Thank you.
Ms. Dumont!
Just one more question!
What do you know so far?
First red light in the system,
9:45.
Fire alarms, 11:26.
Explosion occurred
in the East Gallery at 12:47.
That's where the EPA found
Eastland was not in compliance.
Until I've done
an actual investigation,
I'd be careful
where I point my finger.
A thousand barrels an hour
are spilling into our bay
and burning up into our air.
So do me a favor
and point all the fingers
you've got,
because I need answers
right now.
- Station 2, get around the back!
- Direct it over there!
Lieutenant Governor,
I want to assure you
we're doing everything we can
to manage
this unfortunate event.
"Unfortunate"?
There's a squishy word.
With all due respect,
at a time like this,
we should be focusing on
the real culprits.
"Real culprits"?
What does that mean, Jakinda?
An enterprise like Eastland's
gets so many threats.
So many crazies
coming out of the woodwork.
Any you would care to name?
If there was sabotage
or arson or anything like that,
we'll know
from Number One Blue...
The hard drive
from the compressor station,
where the system data is stored.
Like the black box
on an airplane.
Correct.
You need to go back.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Eastland Refinery explodes?
I figured you might
need my help.
I see Stuyler's here
cozying up to Wyatt.
Which makes me think
there's something to be found
and Carter Eastland sent him
to make sure it gets lost.
Jakinda did say something about
a black box
in the compressor station
which might have some answers.
Jakinda?
Jakinda Sala is Eastland's
head of operations.
A black box. In there.
Well, of course I would
never ask you or anyone
to walk into a blazing inferno
like that.
Of course not.
But Stuyler might.
He'd send one of his guys
in there.
And I would very much like
to get to that black box
before he does.
Alright, secure the perimeter!
I need all men on deck!
So much for the black box.
Brother.
Brother.
Wyatt.
- Now!
- Let's move! Let's move!
What the hell are you doing?
Currently being very grateful
I downloaded that awful song
from your phone
so I could
make fun of you later.
When I said
I figured I'd see you here,
this is not what I meant!
I am in a "bad news,
worse news" situation here.
The bad news is
someone bombed the refinery
to start the fire.
What's the worse news?
The worse news is
there's a second bomb,
and based on
that blinking red light,
I'd say I'm in a really,
really bad situation,
so do a girl a solid
and call the Bomb Squad?
Let's go!
And in breaking news...
RFD has confirmed
that the explosion
at Eastland Refinery
earlier today
was caused by
an incendiary device.
RPD sources tell us
that the bomb squad
has been called in
to investigate.
Sources could not confirm
whether other bombs...
have been found...
Yes, Jakinda.
I'm watching it now.
And given the high profile
of the company
and its founder and CEO,
Carter Eastland,
we could be looking at an act
of international terrorism.
Could be terrorism?
As if there's
any other explanation.
For all the latest
developments...
Okay.
The wreckage can't be moved
without cutting it.
So cut it.
There's flammable oil
all around.
Saws equal sparks.
Why the hell is she in there
to begin with?
Images will be up
on the monitor soon.
You sent her into a hot area.
No, I wanted her
to go and look around...
But only after it was safe.
Okay, but why?
To look for the black box.
But why is Cat playing detective
to begin with...
For anyone?
Can you angle the camera
at the top of the structure?
I need a good look
at the wire formation.
We got a better-than-average
bomb maker.
Timing mechanism is concealed
against the wall.
Okay.
That blinking light
is not a timer.
It's a power source.
Which means we've got
about three minutes.
Great. That's plenty of time.
Are you kidding me?!
You want me to do this.
Okay.
Okay.
So...
any idea if I should cut
the red or the yellow?
It's 50-50. Your call.
But I-I'd cut the yellow.
You know, if I were you,
I would not be here right now.
I'm not you, ma'am.
Well...
Well, here goes nothing.
Yes!
Thanks, bud.
Thanks, man. I'll speak to her.
So, use up another life?
Half of one, maybe.
Bomb squad got a hit
on the device from Interpol.
Thermostat detonator,
set into the hull of a tanker
off New Orleans.
No arrests,
but a group called
The Green Tide were suspects.
Green Tide...
The environmentalists?
Yeah. You know them?
They have a local office.
Some active lawsuits
against Eastland.
If the refinery was sabotaged
for ecological reasons,
then Green Tide
had to have caught whiff
of the crappy maintenance
record at Eastland.
Bombed the refinery
to make it look like
his negligence
led to the disaster.
Good plan.
And the second explosion?
Classic.
Cover your tracks.
Something goes boom
in an oil fire?
And all the bomb evidence burns.
So Eastland can scream sabotage
as much as he wants,
but there's no proof.
Of course,
I would've planted the bomb
further
from the detonation site,
but that's just me.
Hey, is Cat okay?
Cat doesn't trust Stuyler.
Do you know why?
No.
Without him, Cat and Ana
are still on that island.
Stuyler didn't do it
for Cat or Ana.
He did it for something
in return.
Hey, I know the favor I asked.
Yeah?
Well, believe me, you do not
want to play that game.
You only think
you won't get dirty.
But Cat gets to live
in the beach house,
no questions asked?
Cat's radar is usually good
on this stuff.
My advice... give her a listen.
Carter Eastland hush money fund
must be on full tilt?
Eastland Empire
is a good corporate actor.
We take care of our employees.
Well, you should keep some of
those resources to the side...
You know, just in case.
We're always prepared
for emergencies.
I'd say it's time
to break the glass.
You know, unless you want me
to tell the whole world
that your boss
bombed his own refinery.
You don't really think
I'd bomb my own refinery,
do you?
Well, the accusation
got me in the door pretty fast,
considering
it was a shot in the dark.
You always have an agenda,
and sometimes
they're interesting.
After all,
your current place of residence
is the result of your last act
of extortion against me.
Extortion?
I did not extort
that house from you.
I consider that a permanent loan
between two friends.
Or at least between two people
who tolerate each other.
You got another angle,
but you can't figure out
how to come around to it.
Well, it definitely
has not escaped my notice
that you and the Governor
are frenemies at best.
It also hasn't escaped my notice
that the Governor would
throw you under the bus
for polluting his bay like that.
So, I give you a direct line
into their investigation.
In return, you give me the deed
to the house that I did not
extort from you.
Even if I trusted you...
Which, on my part,
would be a ludicrous idea...
I don't need your information.
The Green Tide
bombed the refinery.
And you know that how?
Maybe an inside line
into the RPD?
No, because it's obvious,
and because the Reef police
aren't incompetent.
Why don't you have the guts
to ask me
what you really came here for?
Okay, you got me.
Tell me about your boy
Richard Stuyler.
He's my head of security.
Just your head of security.
Because he seems to me
like a man with his own agenda.
Stuyler.
Now, this is interesting.
You know I'm the guy
with the legal right
to put people in cuffs, yeah?
My men used extreme caution
on their approach.
Green Tide have a reputation...
Well-earned, as you can see.
Those guns aren't ours.
They were planted,
and they have no right
to search our offices.
Wow.
Looks like she knows
her Fourth Amendment
a little better than you do.
Yeah, but not her Federal law.
Posse Comitatus.
Mr. Kalama has
an outstanding bail warrant.
We're authorized to arrest him.
It's time to go.
Leave everything where it is.
Now.
Let's go.
I think we're done here.
Let me tell you a story
about the last person
who underestimated me...
Doug O'Casey.
Doug was sure that Jake Elliott
was on his team,
back when we were
in the Shorepound gang.
Turns out Jake was an FBI agent,
and together,
we put Doug in jail
for a very, very long time.
That's quite a reach,
comparing me to a criminal
like O'Casey. Maybe.
But if you're wrong
about Stuyler,
you're not just going to jail.
You're going to Hell...
probably.
On behalf of The Green Tide,
I deny any involvement
in the refinery bombing.
Great.
We're still searching
the premises, though.
Detective Cole,
take a look at these.
Tree spikes
remarkably similar to the ones
found on Eastland's
resort property last month.
Anyone want to get
in the drum circle,
chat about felony vandalism?
Smells like oil.
How do you know Eastland's goons
- didn't plant those?
- I don't.
But it doesn't mean
you don't owe me some answers.
Are you kidding me? Come on.
- Two fish tacos, please.
- Thank you. Wait.
- Yeah, two fresh, bro.
- Si.
You guys and your donuts.
Tacos, Ms. Torrance.
Whatever.
Nothing changes around here.
And what would you
want to change?
The fact that the only people
that give a damn about the Reef
and are actually trying
to do something about it
are the ones being investigated.
You mean Green Tide. Yeah.
While rich jerks
like Carter Eastland
rape the land and blow up
their own refinery.
That's just a rumor.
Yeah, well, keep sitting around
eating your tacos
and protecting the status quo
and you'll never know.
Hey, this is your home, too.
What do you want to do about it?
Blow it up and start over.
That's bad for air quality.
You were great out there today.
Thanks.
That small arsenal of handguns
we confiscated
should make for good leverage
in the interrogation.
Nice to see someone else isn't
afraid to be a cop in 2019.
Yeah, well, I like what I do.
Me too.
Anything else, Sergeant Ellis?
Kristy. And yes, there is.
The bombing at the
Eastland Refinery this morning
is being treated
as an act of terrorism,
which means it falls under
the Intelligence Division.
So I'm off the case? Not at all.
It's my department,
and given that
it's Carter Eastland,
the brass are giving me
a lot of latitude on this one.
I want you to stay on.
Thanks.
Now let's go see what
those two from The Green Tide
really know.
We're not denying
the tree spiking.
Erica and I led that mission.
And, no, I'm not telling you
who else was there.
If we ever use
an explosive device...
And I stress "if"...
It's to stop destruction.
When we heard about
the explosion,
we rushed down
to help protect the bay.
But the fires...
we had to leave.
We knew what it would look like
once we heard about the bombing.
The bay is what
we live to protect.
We would never
endanger it like that.
Meanwhile, you're giving
Eastland exactly what he wants.
You know why?
'Cause we're about to finally
beat him at his own game.
We took Eastland to court
over his new development.
And we've got a case.
He's going to lose.
Listen to me.
We are not that stupid.
And he's not that lucky.
So you got to look
at the timing here
and wonder
what's really going on.
Hello, Kitty Cat.
What you got there?
Best darn tacos on the Reef.
And this.
Eastland's
new development project?
Gonna go down in flames
because Green Tide
took him to court.
There are secret
environmental reports,
destruction of bird habitat.
You know, it turns out
that Eastland's
kind of a bad guy.
How much did you have to pay
to get this?
Two tacos.
And an expedited visa
for a janitor's refugee family.
You think your landlord's
trying to frame Green Tide?
Carter Eastland is not my landlord.
I don't pay rent.
Speaking of which,
what were you doing at
Eastland Empire's office today?
I figured.
Working an angle?
Want to share?
No.
Do you?
Don't like Eastland.
Kind of like the kid, though.
Wait a second.
You like Wyatt Cole?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I just don't want him
making any further mistakes.
I want to kind of nudge him
in the other direction.
I've been on the receiving end
of your nudges, Jake.
They leave bruises.
So...
shall we just follow each other
around the island,
or do you want to carpool?
How about
I let you use my computer
and give you Carter Eastland's
personal e-mail password?
And... I'll even
watch over your shoulder
while you hack into his account.
Great. No, that is all I need.
Thanks. See you.
Forensics got a match
on one of the guns from
The Green Tide office.
It was used in a shooting
last year in Compton.
Compton?
Those two bleeding hearts look
like they're rubbing shoulders
with the Bloods and the Crips
to you?
Negative.
Well, I just got off the phone
with a buddy
at the D.A.'s office.
You know that lawsuit Green Tide
have against Eastland?
They have every reason
to be confident.
Apparently, Eastland's lawyers
just quietly reached out
to make a settlement.
Did we just exonerate
our number-one suspects?
Sure looks that way.
Well, someone set those bombs,
and if it wasn't
the two Greenies,
who could it have been?
Tell Duncan
if he can't be on the ground
to run my P.R. Division,
I'll find someone who can.
Yes, sir.
And call the lawyers.
I want to know
they're aggressively working
that motion to dismiss.
The EPA want to sit down
tomorrow morning at 10:00.
Alright.
Stuyler needs
to, work up dossiers
on every single member
of that team.
Left it on the charger, sir.
Thank you.
Our share price is down three...
My driver, he died
right in front of me.
Carter, I assure you
the Governor is deeply troubled
about what's happened.
He wanted Detective Cole and I
to personally tell you
that every effort...
Every effort?
We know who did this.
The Green Tide.
They want me dead.
And now they've killed
an innocent man.
All of the Green Tide suspects
were in custody...
I doubt you managed to round up
every crazy person
who backed their agenda.
And I doubt
they're the only people
with an axe to grind.
Curious that the Governor's
wherever he is
and you're here to handle me.
I saw the damage at the refinery
firsthand...
Watched oil burn over the bay
that our citizens love.
I'm determined
to see the guilty punished.
What an impressive sound bite.
I wonder... is that
the Governor's agenda
or your own? Hey, you...
Carter.
What a relief to see you
in one piece.
Doctor.
Mr. Eastland has suffered
a traumatic attempt on his life.
As his personal physician,
I need to examine him
before I can allow
any more questioning.
Doctor's orders.
Thank you.
What was that?
You're supposed to be
the politician.
Keep me in the loop.
Ahead of your new friends, okay?
Okay, I'm asking.
How did you get Eastland's
personal login details?
I knew you wanted to know.
You were trying to act all cool,
like you didn't want to,
like it didn't matter.
Most business types
use visual cues
from around their offices
for their passwords.
His boat is called Only Child.
Racing car...
Number 9 on his desk,
and a star doodad.
Okay, so OnlyChild9Star...
Carter Eastland's password.
We find something,
and it's gonna...
You find something.
I'm drinking wine.
Well, the magic will be
coming up with legit reasons
to run FBI backgrounders
since you often equal
inadmissible evidence.
Why? Because I'm
an unconvicted criminal?
Look at us, though.
Fun, right?
A little like the old days.
Minus the part
where you were pretending
to be a crook
and me actually being one.
Now you're pretending
to be police
and me being one.
Look at you.
Getting back into it, Mr. FBI.
Getting a compliment from you
was my entire motivation.
Seems a little angry.
Can't I just say something nice?
Geez.
Yeah, sorr... sorry. It's, um...
Yeah, i-it's...
I'm just not used...
Used to, um...
Wait a second.
Go back one.
Look at that.
Long sleeves in 80 degrees.
You remember
the Billabong Tahiti Pro?
You came fifth.
Yes, because I broke into a safe
the night before
to steal some jewelry
and I cut my arm wide open.
I had to wear
a long-sleeve rash guard
in 90 percent humidity
to cover the wound on my arm.
Jakinda Sala did
a maintenance inspection
of the refinery
three days ago.
Well, how about that?
We're gonna need more.
There's not enough evidence
to haul her in.
Aah!
Heard you were a good thief.
Once.
Burns on your arm?
Bombs will do that to you,
I never make
the same mistake twice.
Amazing. Just... amazing.
And you waited till now
to tell me?
Okay, I survived a cage fight
with a trained killer.
I needed a night to myself.
A little ice pack,
a little nursing-my-wounds
kind of thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Why did you even go in
in the first place, alone?
Because I knew that you and Jake
would mess around
with all that cop stuff...
Warrants, evidence.
We didn't have time.
Due process... such a drag.
I wanted to see
if I was right about her.
Well, that's as good
a reason as any
to break into an apartment
and almost get killed.
Would you just
take a look at this?
Please?
I think she might have
something to do
with the bombs at the refinery.
Elidi Carras.
Three years ago,
she was arrested
by San Diego P.D.
on two charges of arson
and willful destruction
of property.
Judgment vacated.
The property she torched
was purchased by Eastland Empire
and is now the site of
the second-biggest casino
in California.
She was a bomb thrower
for Carter Eastland back then,
whether he knew it or not.
And now, suddenly,
three years later,
she shows up
on his corporate team
vetted by Richard Stuyler,
your new buddy.
I think you're trusting
the wrong people.
People have been doubting me
since I took this job.
They think I'm only here
because of my sister.
But if you're
one of those people,
then that's a problem.
If you think
I'm one of those people,
that's a problem.
I...
Hey.
Um...
I need to ask a favor.
Burning out the competition
to gain a casino.
That's such old mobster stuff?
And besides, you've got way
more money than they ever did.
What's the point?
Hey, hey, I'm here voluntarily,
without the benefit
of an attorney present
because you said you had
important new information.
As Jakinda Sala,
she managed to infiltrate
your entire security apparatus
and get close enough to you
that you ought to be dead.
Does that not make you wonder
about your Mr. Stuyler?
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, you hired a mercenary
to head your security team.
He kills people for money.
Imagine the price
for a guy like you.
Okay, that's preposterous.
Why am I still talking to you?
As opposed to Detective Cole?
It is still his case, is it not?
Not anymore.
Carras is a Federal target.
Which means the FBI
is also interested
in the refinery now.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Mr. Eastland will no longer
make himself available
for questioning.
You lawyering up now?
This your idea? Or is it his?
Well, you hire good people,
you take their guidance.
Just a minute.
Come here.
Yeah?
What are you doing?
You saw the file.
His life is in danger.
I'm ordering
the protection detail.
Or are you just playing
into Stuyler's game?
Great.
I will just add your name
to the list of people
who don't think
I know what I'm doing.
You know, I liked you better
when you were the town drunk.
Me too.
Lucky for both of us,
probably just a phase.
Hey, Ana.
What's this?
Something I shouldn't have.
Something I never did have,
as a matter of fact.
Why are you giving it to me?
Because you got it illegally
and you can't give it
to Wyatt or Jake yourself.
Let's just say
that's why we have you.
We both know you're
a very curious person.
I wonder what's inside.
Answer your damn phone, Jake.
Take a damn hint, Cat.
Nico Carras... Elidi's brother.
Shot and killed
by San Diego SWAT
executing a search warrant.
It says here that police
were working off
an anonymous tip
from the 692 area code.
That's the Reef.
Elidi goes off the grid
for a couple of years,
turns up as Jakinda Sala,
who nobody on the Reef,
including Eastland,
has ever laid eyes on.
As her revenge,
she bombs Eastland's refinery
and makes it look like
it was someone else.
That's why the bomb
was so smart...
Put the focus on The Green Tide
while she went after
Carter Eastland.
Stuyler must've made
the connection.
That's why he dragged him
out the door.
To protect Eastland from Elidi.
Jake, Wyatt is with them.
That means he's right
in Elidi's cross hairs.
RPD can track him.
I'm coming with you.
You sure this location
wasn't published?
Yeah. Plus,
I made another reservation
at another hotel as cover
that I did release. Good.
I got four men on the inside,
two on the outside.
She comes, she won't make it
past the front door.
See, I'm here to make an arrest,
not give you an alibi for a hit.
Everybody down now!
Nobody shoot!
Are you really ready
to die today?
How about you, Detective?
Prepared to meet your maker?
Not really.
But I'm not putting my gun down,
either, Jakinda.
It's Elidi, by the way.
Elidi,
you don't have to do this.
Neither do you, Detective.
Don't have a choice.
Hello, Carter.
Don't look so surprised.
I suppose if there was
anything I had you wanted,
you would have asked for it
by now.
People always say
they want revenge.
But it's not want.
It's need...
Deep, unquenchable need
to see your life forfeited
for my brother's.
You have one minute to leave.
Looks like she's already here.
We'll deal with him later.
This is not a drill.
Hey!
I'm so sorry.
I have no idea what it is
I'm supposed to have done.
Cut the head of the snake.
All your problems
go away with it.
That bomb takes you with me.
Yeah.
That's the general idea.
I should've died that night
instead of my brother.
You and your friends
should leave.
Last chance to leave.
This hasn't anything to do
with any of you.
Leave now.
Wish I could.
Why?
'Cause his life is worth
more than all of yours?
Is his life worth
more than yours?
I don't think so.
See, I don't think
that bomb is real.
That vest got you in here,
but you have another way out,
don't you?
Counting down.
15...
Bomb and a knife.
14...
Come on. I know a bluff
when I see one.
13... A bomb was okay
when you thought you could
walk away from it... 12...
and then you killed the driver.
11... Right?
10, 9...
You didn't want him to die. 8...
He was collateral damage.
That's why the knife.
7...
The knife, you can control.
6...
5...
It's up close.
4... It's personal.
3... Look at me.
2...
Killing him won't bring
your brother back.
Shut up!
I told you... she was bluffing.
I...
You don't know that.
She came here to kill Eastland.
You're trusting
the wrong people.
You don't get to judge me.
Well, it's not my judgment
you have to worry about now.
This is a crime scene.
You should leave.
Those tacos you like so much.
And you don't.
Have you heard from Wyatt?
Not since
the post-shooting interview.
Why?
They said he asked
for a few days off.
He isn't answering his phone.
It's not like him.
Should I be worried?
The last thing
Wyatt wants right now
is for somebody to ask him
if he's okay.
He'll be there when he's ready.
Do you think that...
What, that he jumped the trigger
to prove something
to himself, to us?
I don't know.
Jakinda was armed.
It was justified.
But dead bombers
don't tell no tales.
This is not
why you're here, is it?
You got a Band-Aid
you want to rip off.
Cat and I.
We were it.
When she thought I was a crook,
when she found out I was a cop.
It was real.
Brutal.
But we got each other out alive.
And there's still
something there.
Yeah.
Something's still there.
But that something...
isn't...
what you think it is.
I'm exactly where I want to be.
Hey, before you sit down,
I should let you know
that by the time
the sun comes up,
I'll just be a memory.
Not looking for any commitments?
No.
I'm definitely a...
"for now" kind of girl.
For now works.
Can I buy you another drink?
Sure.
Vodka, straight.
The Governor would like
to put you on a retainer.
Our island has unique problems.
Some problems the police
don't even need to know about.
Wyatt is not my boyfriend.
We are friends with benefits.
Maybe this is not as casual
as we keep saying it is.
Maybe.
Carter Eastland...
You're the most powerful man
on the Reef.
Mr. Eastland is an ally.
It's a mutually fruitful
relationship.
We'll need you
to sign where indicated.
What are you guys doing here?
Rescuing you.
That's not a word.
You made it up.
It is one hundred percent
a real word.
Wow. Okay.
A metamorphic mineral.
Named after the place
it was discovered.
Cummington, Massachusetts.
You know, this is not a hobby
I pictured you having,
Detective Cole.
Well, it started in the academy.
First time a classmate of mine
snickered at the word "penal"...
kind of became
a weird obsession after that.
That is... vaguely charming.
What? Do you think
you can do better?
I don't know.
Why don't you tell me?
Apex.
Abandoned.
Frenzied.
Something dirtier.
Fused.
Heated.
Succulent.
Throbbing.
Rhythmic.
Arched.
Favor. Debt. Trouble.
That's not really a turn-on.
That's because I'm talking about
Carter Eastland.
And what you had to do
to get that helicopter
he loaned you.
You mean the one
that saved your ass?
My ass has been in much
trickier situations. No doubt.
Alright. Ooh.
Wow. What is that ringtone?
What are you,
a 16-year-old girl?
She is a very talented artist.
Cole here.
Yeah.
Copy that.
There's been an explosion
at the Eastland Refinery.
I got to go.
Although, I have a feeling
I might be seeing you there.
Ms. Dumont!
Ms. Dumont,
given Eastland Empire's
terrible environmental record...
What record is that?
Three straight failed
EPA inspections...
This is the only story
on the Reef.
I'm here.
Is there any suspicion
of foul play?
At a time of crisis like this,
it is crucial
that we do not allow
wild and unfounded speculation
to inflame an already
highly charged situation.
Thank you.
Ms. Dumont!
Just one more question!
What do you know so far?
First red light in the system,
9:45.
Fire alarms, 11:26.
Explosion occurred
in the East Gallery at 12:47.
That's where the EPA found
Eastland was not in compliance.
Until I've done
an actual investigation,
I'd be careful
where I point my finger.
A thousand barrels an hour
are spilling into our bay
and burning up into our air.
So do me a favor
and point all the fingers
you've got,
because I need answers
right now.
- Station 2, get around the back!
- Direct it over there!
Lieutenant Governor,
I want to assure you
we're doing everything we can
to manage
this unfortunate event.
"Unfortunate"?
There's a squishy word.
With all due respect,
at a time like this,
we should be focusing on
the real culprits.
"Real culprits"?
What does that mean, Jakinda?
An enterprise like Eastland's
gets so many threats.
So many crazies
coming out of the woodwork.
Any you would care to name?
If there was sabotage
or arson or anything like that,
we'll know
from Number One Blue...
The hard drive
from the compressor station,
where the system data is stored.
Like the black box
on an airplane.
Correct.
You need to go back.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Eastland Refinery explodes?
I figured you might
need my help.
I see Stuyler's here
cozying up to Wyatt.
Which makes me think
there's something to be found
and Carter Eastland sent him
to make sure it gets lost.
Jakinda did say something about
a black box
in the compressor station
which might have some answers.
Jakinda?
Jakinda Sala is Eastland's
head of operations.
A black box. In there.
Well, of course I would
never ask you or anyone
to walk into a blazing inferno
like that.
Of course not.
But Stuyler might.
He'd send one of his guys
in there.
And I would very much like
to get to that black box
before he does.
Alright, secure the perimeter!
I need all men on deck!
So much for the black box.
Brother.
Brother.
Wyatt.
- Now!
- Let's move! Let's move!
What the hell are you doing?
Currently being very grateful
I downloaded that awful song
from your phone
so I could
make fun of you later.
When I said
I figured I'd see you here,
this is not what I meant!
I am in a "bad news,
worse news" situation here.
The bad news is
someone bombed the refinery
to start the fire.
What's the worse news?
The worse news is
there's a second bomb,
and based on
that blinking red light,
I'd say I'm in a really,
really bad situation,
so do a girl a solid
and call the Bomb Squad?
Let's go!
And in breaking news...
RFD has confirmed
that the explosion
at Eastland Refinery
earlier today
was caused by
an incendiary device.
RPD sources tell us
that the bomb squad
has been called in
to investigate.
Sources could not confirm
whether other bombs...
have been found...
Yes, Jakinda.
I'm watching it now.
And given the high profile
of the company
and its founder and CEO,
Carter Eastland,
we could be looking at an act
of international terrorism.
Could be terrorism?
As if there's
any other explanation.
For all the latest
developments...
Okay.
The wreckage can't be moved
without cutting it.
So cut it.
There's flammable oil
all around.
Saws equal sparks.
Why the hell is she in there
to begin with?
Images will be up
on the monitor soon.
You sent her into a hot area.
No, I wanted her
to go and look around...
But only after it was safe.
Okay, but why?
To look for the black box.
But why is Cat playing detective
to begin with...
For anyone?
Can you angle the camera
at the top of the structure?
I need a good look
at the wire formation.
We got a better-than-average
bomb maker.
Timing mechanism is concealed
against the wall.
Okay.
That blinking light
is not a timer.
It's a power source.
Which means we've got
about three minutes.
Great. That's plenty of time.
Are you kidding me?!
You want me to do this.
Okay.
Okay.
So...
any idea if I should cut
the red or the yellow?
It's 50-50. Your call.
But I-I'd cut the yellow.
You know, if I were you,
I would not be here right now.
I'm not you, ma'am.
Well...
Well, here goes nothing.
Yes!
Thanks, bud.
Thanks, man. I'll speak to her.
So, use up another life?
Half of one, maybe.
Bomb squad got a hit
on the device from Interpol.
Thermostat detonator,
set into the hull of a tanker
off New Orleans.
No arrests,
but a group called
The Green Tide were suspects.
Green Tide...
The environmentalists?
Yeah. You know them?
They have a local office.
Some active lawsuits
against Eastland.
If the refinery was sabotaged
for ecological reasons,
then Green Tide
had to have caught whiff
of the crappy maintenance
record at Eastland.
Bombed the refinery
to make it look like
his negligence
led to the disaster.
Good plan.
And the second explosion?
Classic.
Cover your tracks.
Something goes boom
in an oil fire?
And all the bomb evidence burns.
So Eastland can scream sabotage
as much as he wants,
but there's no proof.
Of course,
I would've planted the bomb
further
from the detonation site,
but that's just me.
Hey, is Cat okay?
Cat doesn't trust Stuyler.
Do you know why?
No.
Without him, Cat and Ana
are still on that island.
Stuyler didn't do it
for Cat or Ana.
He did it for something
in return.
Hey, I know the favor I asked.
Yeah?
Well, believe me, you do not
want to play that game.
You only think
you won't get dirty.
But Cat gets to live
in the beach house,
no questions asked?
Cat's radar is usually good
on this stuff.
My advice... give her a listen.
Carter Eastland hush money fund
must be on full tilt?
Eastland Empire
is a good corporate actor.
We take care of our employees.
Well, you should keep some of
those resources to the side...
You know, just in case.
We're always prepared
for emergencies.
I'd say it's time
to break the glass.
You know, unless you want me
to tell the whole world
that your boss
bombed his own refinery.
You don't really think
I'd bomb my own refinery,
do you?
Well, the accusation
got me in the door pretty fast,
considering
it was a shot in the dark.
You always have an agenda,
and sometimes
they're interesting.
After all,
your current place of residence
is the result of your last act
of extortion against me.
Extortion?
I did not extort
that house from you.
I consider that a permanent loan
between two friends.
Or at least between two people
who tolerate each other.
You got another angle,
but you can't figure out
how to come around to it.
Well, it definitely
has not escaped my notice
that you and the Governor
are frenemies at best.
It also hasn't escaped my notice
that the Governor would
throw you under the bus
for polluting his bay like that.
So, I give you a direct line
into their investigation.
In return, you give me the deed
to the house that I did not
extort from you.
Even if I trusted you...
Which, on my part,
would be a ludicrous idea...
I don't need your information.
The Green Tide
bombed the refinery.
And you know that how?
Maybe an inside line
into the RPD?
No, because it's obvious,
and because the Reef police
aren't incompetent.
Why don't you have the guts
to ask me
what you really came here for?
Okay, you got me.
Tell me about your boy
Richard Stuyler.
He's my head of security.
Just your head of security.
Because he seems to me
like a man with his own agenda.
Stuyler.
Now, this is interesting.
You know I'm the guy
with the legal right
to put people in cuffs, yeah?
My men used extreme caution
on their approach.
Green Tide have a reputation...
Well-earned, as you can see.
Those guns aren't ours.
They were planted,
and they have no right
to search our offices.
Wow.
Looks like she knows
her Fourth Amendment
a little better than you do.
Yeah, but not her Federal law.
Posse Comitatus.
Mr. Kalama has
an outstanding bail warrant.
We're authorized to arrest him.
It's time to go.
Leave everything where it is.
Now.
Let's go.
I think we're done here.
Let me tell you a story
about the last person
who underestimated me...
Doug O'Casey.
Doug was sure that Jake Elliott
was on his team,
back when we were
in the Shorepound gang.
Turns out Jake was an FBI agent,
and together,
we put Doug in jail
for a very, very long time.
That's quite a reach,
comparing me to a criminal
like O'Casey. Maybe.
But if you're wrong
about Stuyler,
you're not just going to jail.
You're going to Hell...
probably.
On behalf of The Green Tide,
I deny any involvement
in the refinery bombing.
Great.
We're still searching
the premises, though.
Detective Cole,
take a look at these.
Tree spikes
remarkably similar to the ones
found on Eastland's
resort property last month.
Anyone want to get
in the drum circle,
chat about felony vandalism?
Smells like oil.
How do you know Eastland's goons
- didn't plant those?
- I don't.
But it doesn't mean
you don't owe me some answers.
Are you kidding me? Come on.
- Two fish tacos, please.
- Thank you. Wait.
- Yeah, two fresh, bro.
- Si.
You guys and your donuts.
Tacos, Ms. Torrance.
Whatever.
Nothing changes around here.
And what would you
want to change?
The fact that the only people
that give a damn about the Reef
and are actually trying
to do something about it
are the ones being investigated.
You mean Green Tide. Yeah.
While rich jerks
like Carter Eastland
rape the land and blow up
their own refinery.
That's just a rumor.
Yeah, well, keep sitting around
eating your tacos
and protecting the status quo
and you'll never know.
Hey, this is your home, too.
What do you want to do about it?
Blow it up and start over.
That's bad for air quality.
You were great out there today.
Thanks.
That small arsenal of handguns
we confiscated
should make for good leverage
in the interrogation.
Nice to see someone else isn't
afraid to be a cop in 2019.
Yeah, well, I like what I do.
Me too.
Anything else, Sergeant Ellis?
Kristy. And yes, there is.
The bombing at the
Eastland Refinery this morning
is being treated
as an act of terrorism,
which means it falls under
the Intelligence Division.
So I'm off the case? Not at all.
It's my department,
and given that
it's Carter Eastland,
the brass are giving me
a lot of latitude on this one.
I want you to stay on.
Thanks.
Now let's go see what
those two from The Green Tide
really know.
We're not denying
the tree spiking.
Erica and I led that mission.
And, no, I'm not telling you
who else was there.
If we ever use
an explosive device...
And I stress "if"...
It's to stop destruction.
When we heard about
the explosion,
we rushed down
to help protect the bay.
But the fires...
we had to leave.
We knew what it would look like
once we heard about the bombing.
The bay is what
we live to protect.
We would never
endanger it like that.
Meanwhile, you're giving
Eastland exactly what he wants.
You know why?
'Cause we're about to finally
beat him at his own game.
We took Eastland to court
over his new development.
And we've got a case.
He's going to lose.
Listen to me.
We are not that stupid.
And he's not that lucky.
So you got to look
at the timing here
and wonder
what's really going on.
Hello, Kitty Cat.
What you got there?
Best darn tacos on the Reef.
And this.
Eastland's
new development project?
Gonna go down in flames
because Green Tide
took him to court.
There are secret
environmental reports,
destruction of bird habitat.
You know, it turns out
that Eastland's
kind of a bad guy.
How much did you have to pay
to get this?
Two tacos.
And an expedited visa
for a janitor's refugee family.
You think your landlord's
trying to frame Green Tide?
Carter Eastland is not my landlord.
I don't pay rent.
Speaking of which,
what were you doing at
Eastland Empire's office today?
I figured.
Working an angle?
Want to share?
No.
Do you?
Don't like Eastland.
Kind of like the kid, though.
Wait a second.
You like Wyatt Cole?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I just don't want him
making any further mistakes.
I want to kind of nudge him
in the other direction.
I've been on the receiving end
of your nudges, Jake.
They leave bruises.
So...
shall we just follow each other
around the island,
or do you want to carpool?
How about
I let you use my computer
and give you Carter Eastland's
personal e-mail password?
And... I'll even
watch over your shoulder
while you hack into his account.
Great. No, that is all I need.
Thanks. See you.
Forensics got a match
on one of the guns from
The Green Tide office.
It was used in a shooting
last year in Compton.
Compton?
Those two bleeding hearts look
like they're rubbing shoulders
with the Bloods and the Crips
to you?
Negative.
Well, I just got off the phone
with a buddy
at the D.A.'s office.
You know that lawsuit Green Tide
have against Eastland?
They have every reason
to be confident.
Apparently, Eastland's lawyers
just quietly reached out
to make a settlement.
Did we just exonerate
our number-one suspects?
Sure looks that way.
Well, someone set those bombs,
and if it wasn't
the two Greenies,
who could it have been?
Tell Duncan
if he can't be on the ground
to run my P.R. Division,
I'll find someone who can.
Yes, sir.
And call the lawyers.
I want to know
they're aggressively working
that motion to dismiss.
The EPA want to sit down
tomorrow morning at 10:00.
Alright.
Stuyler needs
to, work up dossiers
on every single member
of that team.
Left it on the charger, sir.
Thank you.
Our share price is down three...
My driver, he died
right in front of me.
Carter, I assure you
the Governor is deeply troubled
about what's happened.
He wanted Detective Cole and I
to personally tell you
that every effort...
Every effort?
We know who did this.
The Green Tide.
They want me dead.
And now they've killed
an innocent man.
All of the Green Tide suspects
were in custody...
I doubt you managed to round up
every crazy person
who backed their agenda.
And I doubt
they're the only people
with an axe to grind.
Curious that the Governor's
wherever he is
and you're here to handle me.
I saw the damage at the refinery
firsthand...
Watched oil burn over the bay
that our citizens love.
I'm determined
to see the guilty punished.
What an impressive sound bite.
I wonder... is that
the Governor's agenda
or your own? Hey, you...
Carter.
What a relief to see you
in one piece.
Doctor.
Mr. Eastland has suffered
a traumatic attempt on his life.
As his personal physician,
I need to examine him
before I can allow
any more questioning.
Doctor's orders.
Thank you.
What was that?
You're supposed to be
the politician.
Keep me in the loop.
Ahead of your new friends, okay?
Okay, I'm asking.
How did you get Eastland's
personal login details?
I knew you wanted to know.
You were trying to act all cool,
like you didn't want to,
like it didn't matter.
Most business types
use visual cues
from around their offices
for their passwords.
His boat is called Only Child.
Racing car...
Number 9 on his desk,
and a star doodad.
Okay, so OnlyChild9Star...
Carter Eastland's password.
We find something,
and it's gonna...
You find something.
I'm drinking wine.
Well, the magic will be
coming up with legit reasons
to run FBI backgrounders
since you often equal
inadmissible evidence.
Why? Because I'm
an unconvicted criminal?
Look at us, though.
Fun, right?
A little like the old days.
Minus the part
where you were pretending
to be a crook
and me actually being one.
Now you're pretending
to be police
and me being one.
Look at you.
Getting back into it, Mr. FBI.
Getting a compliment from you
was my entire motivation.
Seems a little angry.
Can't I just say something nice?
Geez.
Yeah, sorr... sorry. It's, um...
Yeah, i-it's...
I'm just not used...
Used to, um...
Wait a second.
Go back one.
Look at that.
Long sleeves in 80 degrees.
You remember
the Billabong Tahiti Pro?
You came fifth.
Yes, because I broke into a safe
the night before
to steal some jewelry
and I cut my arm wide open.
I had to wear
a long-sleeve rash guard
in 90 percent humidity
to cover the wound on my arm.
Jakinda Sala did
a maintenance inspection
of the refinery
three days ago.
Well, how about that?
We're gonna need more.
There's not enough evidence
to haul her in.
Aah!
Heard you were a good thief.
Once.
Burns on your arm?
Bombs will do that to you,
I never make
the same mistake twice.
Amazing. Just... amazing.
And you waited till now
to tell me?
Okay, I survived a cage fight
with a trained killer.
I needed a night to myself.
A little ice pack,
a little nursing-my-wounds
kind of thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Why did you even go in
in the first place, alone?
Because I knew that you and Jake
would mess around
with all that cop stuff...
Warrants, evidence.
We didn't have time.
Due process... such a drag.
I wanted to see
if I was right about her.
Well, that's as good
a reason as any
to break into an apartment
and almost get killed.
Would you just
take a look at this?
Please?
I think she might have
something to do
with the bombs at the refinery.
Elidi Carras.
Three years ago,
she was arrested
by San Diego P.D.
on two charges of arson
and willful destruction
of property.
Judgment vacated.
The property she torched
was purchased by Eastland Empire
and is now the site of
the second-biggest casino
in California.
She was a bomb thrower
for Carter Eastland back then,
whether he knew it or not.
And now, suddenly,
three years later,
she shows up
on his corporate team
vetted by Richard Stuyler,
your new buddy.
I think you're trusting
the wrong people.
People have been doubting me
since I took this job.
They think I'm only here
because of my sister.
But if you're
one of those people,
then that's a problem.
If you think
I'm one of those people,
that's a problem.
I...
Hey.
Um...
I need to ask a favor.
Burning out the competition
to gain a casino.
That's such old mobster stuff?
And besides, you've got way
more money than they ever did.
What's the point?
Hey, hey, I'm here voluntarily,
without the benefit
of an attorney present
because you said you had
important new information.
As Jakinda Sala,
she managed to infiltrate
your entire security apparatus
and get close enough to you
that you ought to be dead.
Does that not make you wonder
about your Mr. Stuyler?
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, you hired a mercenary
to head your security team.
He kills people for money.
Imagine the price
for a guy like you.
Okay, that's preposterous.
Why am I still talking to you?
As opposed to Detective Cole?
It is still his case, is it not?
Not anymore.
Carras is a Federal target.
Which means the FBI
is also interested
in the refinery now.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Mr. Eastland will no longer
make himself available
for questioning.
You lawyering up now?
This your idea? Or is it his?
Well, you hire good people,
you take their guidance.
Just a minute.
Come here.
Yeah?
What are you doing?
You saw the file.
His life is in danger.
I'm ordering
the protection detail.
Or are you just playing
into Stuyler's game?
Great.
I will just add your name
to the list of people
who don't think
I know what I'm doing.
You know, I liked you better
when you were the town drunk.
Me too.
Lucky for both of us,
probably just a phase.
Hey, Ana.
What's this?
Something I shouldn't have.
Something I never did have,
as a matter of fact.
Why are you giving it to me?
Because you got it illegally
and you can't give it
to Wyatt or Jake yourself.
Let's just say
that's why we have you.
We both know you're
a very curious person.
I wonder what's inside.
Answer your damn phone, Jake.
Take a damn hint, Cat.
Nico Carras... Elidi's brother.
Shot and killed
by San Diego SWAT
executing a search warrant.
It says here that police
were working off
an anonymous tip
from the 692 area code.
That's the Reef.
Elidi goes off the grid
for a couple of years,
turns up as Jakinda Sala,
who nobody on the Reef,
including Eastland,
has ever laid eyes on.
As her revenge,
she bombs Eastland's refinery
and makes it look like
it was someone else.
That's why the bomb
was so smart...
Put the focus on The Green Tide
while she went after
Carter Eastland.
Stuyler must've made
the connection.
That's why he dragged him
out the door.
To protect Eastland from Elidi.
Jake, Wyatt is with them.
That means he's right
in Elidi's cross hairs.
RPD can track him.
I'm coming with you.
You sure this location
wasn't published?
Yeah. Plus,
I made another reservation
at another hotel as cover
that I did release. Good.
I got four men on the inside,
two on the outside.
She comes, she won't make it
past the front door.
See, I'm here to make an arrest,
not give you an alibi for a hit.
Everybody down now!
Nobody shoot!
Are you really ready
to die today?
How about you, Detective?
Prepared to meet your maker?
Not really.
But I'm not putting my gun down,
either, Jakinda.
It's Elidi, by the way.
Elidi,
you don't have to do this.
Neither do you, Detective.
Don't have a choice.
Hello, Carter.
Don't look so surprised.
I suppose if there was
anything I had you wanted,
you would have asked for it
by now.
People always say
they want revenge.
But it's not want.
It's need...
Deep, unquenchable need
to see your life forfeited
for my brother's.
You have one minute to leave.
Looks like she's already here.
We'll deal with him later.
This is not a drill.
Hey!
I'm so sorry.
I have no idea what it is
I'm supposed to have done.
Cut the head of the snake.
All your problems
go away with it.
That bomb takes you with me.
Yeah.
That's the general idea.
I should've died that night
instead of my brother.
You and your friends
should leave.
Last chance to leave.
This hasn't anything to do
with any of you.
Leave now.
Wish I could.
Why?
'Cause his life is worth
more than all of yours?
Is his life worth
more than yours?
I don't think so.
See, I don't think
that bomb is real.
That vest got you in here,
but you have another way out,
don't you?
Counting down.
15...
Bomb and a knife.
14...
Come on. I know a bluff
when I see one.
13... A bomb was okay
when you thought you could
walk away from it... 12...
and then you killed the driver.
11... Right?
10, 9...
You didn't want him to die. 8...
He was collateral damage.
That's why the knife.
7...
The knife, you can control.
6...
5...
It's up close.
4... It's personal.
3... Look at me.
2...
Killing him won't bring
your brother back.
Shut up!
I told you... she was bluffing.
I...
You don't know that.
She came here to kill Eastland.
You're trusting
the wrong people.
You don't get to judge me.
Well, it's not my judgment
you have to worry about now.
This is a crime scene.
You should leave.
Those tacos you like so much.
And you don't.
Have you heard from Wyatt?
Not since
the post-shooting interview.
Why?
They said he asked
for a few days off.
He isn't answering his phone.
It's not like him.
Should I be worried?
The last thing
Wyatt wants right now
is for somebody to ask him
if he's okay.
He'll be there when he's ready.
Do you think that...
What, that he jumped the trigger
to prove something
to himself, to us?
I don't know.
Jakinda was armed.
It was justified.
But dead bombers
don't tell no tales.
This is not
why you're here, is it?
You got a Band-Aid
you want to rip off.
Cat and I.
We were it.
When she thought I was a crook,
when she found out I was a cop.
It was real.
Brutal.
But we got each other out alive.
And there's still
something there.
Yeah.
Something's still there.
But that something...
isn't...
what you think it is.
I'm exactly where I want to be.
Hey, before you sit down,
I should let you know
that by the time
the sun comes up,
I'll just be a memory.
Not looking for any commitments?
No.
I'm definitely a...
"for now" kind of girl.
For now works.
Can I buy you another drink?
Sure.
Vodka, straight.
