The Bridge (2013–2014): Season 2, Episode 11 - Beholder - full transcript

Previously on The Bridge...

Stop!

Sonya, more are coming!

Get out of here!

I pretend to be the hero.

The lie protects everyone.

Can you identify
any of these men?

And him.

Hold on a second here.

We're talking about
police officers from Juarez.

You gonna protect her?



Did you arrest Robles?

It's not that easy, Sonya. Why?

Mexico City has Eva's affidavit.

No, they don't.

I think we can help each other.

I can work with that. Good.

We keep a tight circle on this.

Only you and Hank Wade.

You sent me the euro note?

Maybe.

He said to me

the CIA has ordered them
to back off the investigation.

I'm betting that's the guy
who knows everything.

CIA.



Where's my ledger?

It's her.

I said stop.

Action.

Sebastian...

Sebastian...

No, no.

I thought this was an
internal affairs audit.

Yeah, well, two DEA agents
lost their lives in that house,

Detective Cross.

That makes it a
federal investigation.

Of course.

I didn't get your name.

I'm here in what you might
call an advisory mode only.

Oh.

What agency?

Central Intelligence.

Why is the CIA involved?

That's classified, Detective.
It's a national security matter.

We'd like some perspective

on events that led to the
shooting two days ago.

I've already given a statement
to the police commission.

Well, with all due respect, this
falls outside their jurisdiction.

We had a Mexican drug
massacre in a gated community.

There will be blowback.
Mucho blowback.

The CIA was interfering
with Agent McKenzie.

For the unenlightened,

perhaps you could walk us
through this wild speculation.

Hank and I were working
with Agent McKenzie

on the Eleanor Nacht case.

Agent McKenzie never filed
a report on his investigation.

That's correct.

Do you know why?

He believed that the
CIA was preventing him

from getting Fausto Galvan.

He said we were preventing
the DEA from doing its job?

Cock-blocking.

That's how he put it.

We read your report.
It's very thorough.

Then what's the point of this?

Detective Cross,

this massacre represents a very
serious threat to our border security.

You had a role in it.

As I stated, I was approached
by Agent McKenzie.

To run an
off-the-books operation?

Answer the question, please.

Yes.

He wanted to apprehend
Fausto Galvan,

and I wanted to
arrest Eleanor Nacht.

We made a deal.

That didn't exactly
go to plan, did it?

I need to interview her.

Ms. Nacht's interview is
being handled by the DOJ.

Any contact with her would be
obstruction of a federal investigation.

Are you taking the
case away from me?

It was never your
case, Detective.

Eleanor Nacht
killed an innocent kid,

and nobody seems to really care.

Detective Cross,

were there any additional
items left at the house

prior to your
surrendering it to DEA?

Paperwork and stuff like that.

Everything is on
the inventory list.

You're not currently
taking any medications?

What?

There's a diagnosis
in your personnel file.

No, I'm not taking
medications currently,

and I'm not sure what that
has to do with this investigation.

It's just a question.

Thank you for your
time, Detective.

Oh, how's Luce?

She gets her
stitches out tomorrow.

Oh, yuck.

Guess there's no 21-gun salute
for Agent Joe McKenzie, huh?

There she is.

Remind me to get
cremated, will you?

Hello.

Our condolences, Mrs. McKenzie.

I'm sorry. How did you know Joe?

Well, we sort of
worked with him.

You don't look like DEA.

I work for the El Paso Times.

And I used to.

This is my husband's funeral.

I've already talked to
reporters, thank you.

Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry. Just, um...

Could you please tell us if
you recognize this writing?

Your husband reached out to us.

Did he ever talk to
you about his work?

Mostly baseball and
Dungeons & Dragons.

Dungeons & Dragons?

He never talked to you
about anything else?

He had a

special project in the
garage or something.

Maybe we could
take a look at that?

They told me not to touch
anything. DEA's picking it up.

We wouldn't take up
too much of your time.

No, it's...

We are so sorry
that we bothered you.

If I could just...

We are very sorry.

It's fine.

Go, go, go.

Ready?

Go, go, go.

Oh, shit.

Go.

Go, go, go.

What is it?

What is that, Joe's
special project?

"Yankee."

Here. Can you grab this?
Yeah, yeah, grab that.

You got it? Yeah.

I got the other one.

Come on.

Hey. Hey.

How's Hank?

Better.

I'm off the Nacht case.

DEA's taking over.

Of course they are.

CIA's involved, too.

Well,

that's not gonna help to
find Fausto, you know?

I think I know where he is.

How?

My father had a hideout. Look.

In the old days,
after I left home,

Fausto and him became closer.

That's when they
began working together.

That him? Yep.

He became my dad's favorite son.

How are you gonna get to him?

The Marines, maybe.

Have you asked them already?

No, not yet.

There is this state prosecutor.

He might be able to
get me in with them.

But, first, I need
to come clean.

I need to tell the truth about
what happened in that hotel room.

It would help, if
you came with me.

We have a...

- No. He did it to protect me.
- Okay.

I know about your
father and Fausto Galvan.

I want to get him.

Do you know where he's hiding?

That's a suicide mission.

And what are the Americans
doing in the wake of the violence?

We want Fausto, too.

Perhaps.

See, we Mexicans have the
virtue of an openly-corrupt system.

Things are more clear.

You Americans
cloak your corruption

behind patriotism,
the drug war, the wall...

We didn't come
here for a lecture.

These are the facts.

Drug money is too important
to both of our economies.

I'm here as a cop.

I'm asking your help
as a justice official.

Can you arrange a
meeting with la Marina?

I will deliver Fausto.

But on my own terms.

Oh.

Yeah, I feel it now.
That cool breeze.

See, I told you.

It comes down from the
mountains every afternoon.

Mmm.

I think you should
shave your beard.

My beard affords
me special powers.

Inscrutability,

disguise, deception.

You don't need that anymore.

I want to see your face.

Yeah, would you use lather?

Yes.

Yeah, I could like that.

What?

It sickens me
what he did to you.

I will hasten him
off this planet.

I didn't know he had children.

Ah.

Okay?

Hank.

Hank.

Welcome back.

Did we get 'em?

Eleanor.

Feds took over
the investigation.

Figured they would.

CIA, too.

They come in pairs.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Sonya. Sonya.

I took something out of
the house. I got something.

It's a ledger.

I hid it right before
they grabbed me.

I need for you to
go get that now.

No.

Hey.

You're up bright and early.

I need to get a prisoner
into interrogation.

Eleanor? Yeah.

They barred you
from interviewing her.

Can you do it?

I'd have to falsify the
interrogation request...

Yes or no, Coop?

Give me a minute.

I brought you some water.

Thank you.

You're not supposed to be here.

What happened at
Red Ridge, Eleanor?

Why are you asking me a question

you already know the answer to?

All right.

We know you were transferring
property for Fausto Galvan.

I don't work for Fausto.
He sent men to kill me.

You have their bodies.

That's right, you work
for Sebastian Cerisola...

I work for myself.

You killed that boy.

He was not a boy. He was a man.

A man who tried to touch me.

So you admit to killing him.

What about the other boy?

You went back to his house.

You let him live.

Yes.

Why?

Did he remind you
of someone you lost?

I'm a Mexican
national, Detective.

You have no
jurisdiction over me.

I would like to go
back to my cell now.

Why did you betray
Fausto for Sebastian?

Sebastian failed me.

He was careless to let
you and Marco Ruiz live.

His daughter is his weakness.

I know Fausto.

She will die, as will
your partner, Marco.

Help us bring them down.

Both of them.

No more blood.

There will always be
blood. You can't change that.

I can try.

By arresting me?

We are absolutely irrelevant.

Then why do you do what you do?

Because I want to be free.

You should want that, too.

I have something of yours.

You have my ledger.

I know what's inside.

Then you should be careful.

Why were you following me?

Your mother has a lot of
demons. Did you know that?

How long has
she lived like that?

In the same town as you?

My mother stood by
when my father raped me.

When I asked her for help,
she told me to stop talking.

What did your mother do to you?

She...

She did what she could.

And I'm really sorry
what happened to you.

What the hell is this? You're
not supposed to be in here.

Detective Ruiz.

Come on, now.

I don't want to live
in the past anymore.

Following after these men.

What do you mean? You
want to go back to El Paso?

I want another life.

Robles has to
pay for what he did.

It's too dangerous, and I
don't want you to get hurt.

I won't get hurt.

We're on the
right side of things.

If we stop now, Eva,

what's gonna happen
to the other girls?

What about me?

I just want to
feel like I used to.

Sorry.

You have changed me, Eva.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay.

Joe must have believed
these banks in the Southwest

were laundering
money for the cartels.

What the hell is that?

The next Red Ridge?

Oh.

Holy shit!

"Personnel file. Alex
Buckley, SIS-2. CIA..."

Let me see that.

It's the guy from the
diner. Jesus Christ.

One thing even I wouldn't
put in a spiked story is the CIA.

Look. Mujahideen?
That is Middle East.

What is this dude
doing in El Paso?

The Assistant Secretary of
Commerce sent Buckley an e-mail

asking about a CIA
bank operation in El Paso.

Look.

It's a war between
the DEA and the CIA.

That's what Joe
knew was going on.

The DEA wants to interdict,
break up the money flow.

And CIA wants it to keep going.

Yeah.

But why?

Lucy?

You're late.

You were supposed to be here
when they took out the stitches.

I'm sorry.

You look really good.

Liar.

Listen, uh,

we have to talk.

Okay.

I'm not comfortable
taking you back home.

That's my house.

That's our home.

I think you should move
in with your parents.

What?

You'd be safer there.

No, I'm not leaving you.

Lucy...

I can't see you get hurt again.

You want to break
up with me, then do it.

This thing that Daniel and I are
working on, it's just very dangerous.

Then drop it.

I can't.

It's too important.

More important than us?

I'm sorry.

What do you want?

Can I buy you lunch?

Why?

I need to talk to you.

I'm not clean. I won't go.

Two times.

What?

That's two times you've come
to see me in the last two weeks.

Why?

Jim Dobbs died.

I came to tell you,
but you were high.

So?

I thought you'd want to know.

Why are you still
wearing her coat?

It's not going to
bring her back.

I'm not trying to
bring her back, Mom.

You should throw it away.

Doesn't even fit you.

Just get a new one.
That's what I'd do.

I like wearing it.

Take this.

What's this?

I want you to go
someplace for a while.

Why would I do that?

Mom, please. Just
buy a bus ticket.

I don't care what
you do with the rest.

I just want you to get
out of here for a while.

No.

No.

Marco.

Hey. Eleanor's gone.
Transferred into federal custody.

On whose authority? DEA?

No, that spooky-ass
Buckley signed for her.

When? An hour ago.

What?

Sonya Cross has the ledger.

I know.

What are you
going to do about it?

I'll clean up my mess,
you clean up your mess.

Of course.

What is our exposure?

Considerable.

I will get the ledger back.

But this needs to
be fixed immediately.

You understand
that's why you're out?

Yes. My work is here.

Then you need to be careful.

They'll be looking for you.

I will make things right.
