Whiskey Cavalier (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Hearts & Minds - full transcript

Frankie is forced to prove herself when Will is captured during a mission to take down an organ harvesting operation; Will spends his time in captivity trying to bond with Jai; Standish seeks Frankie's help to improve his combat skills.

How about some mutual respect?

As of today, we are all
officially working together.

As a team.

Led by me. Led by me.

I mean, your team needs you.

Do you think they need me?

You were Will's best friend,

and you slept with his fiancée.

God!

What's up? No, never touch my stuff.

My teacher wrote
in my report card,



"Doesn't play well with others."

All right, I'm in position.

It's showtime, people.
Follow my lead.

Or followour lead,

'cause, again, co-captains.

Jai, stun gas primed and ready?

Yep.

You don't have to say
"primed" and "ready."

They mean the same thing.

Message received and heard.

Come on. Not even a chuckle?

That was comedy gold
right there.

Standish, how long do you need
to knock out security?

Already done. I'm that good.



Hey, who picked out
these uniforms?

What are we, space janitors?

Only thing that could make these
better... if it was a onesie.

Frankie, Susan, you in position?

Yeah. No sign of the target.

His car's still here, though.

Come on. I'm starving.

Can we just go get a pizza?

Hey, guys, McElroy's
the biggest heroin importer

in Southeast Asia.

Let's try to focus
on what's important.

I want pepperoni.

So we're gonna do pizza
in Hong Kong?

It's better than you think.

No, it can't be better than
that place that we went to

in the Village on Friday. I know!

I asked the two of you
out to dinner on Friday,

and you both said you were busy.

That's not cool.

Hey.

You're confident that stun gas

can neutralize McElroy
andall his bodyguards?

If by "stun gas," you mean

my own special blend
of methoxyflurane, then, sure.

That's cool... metha-fl-snore.

That's great.

How did you
come up with that stuff?

Why are you asking
all these questions?

It's not a big deal.

I just... You know,
we work together.

We really haven't got
a chance to know each other.

I mean, I don't know
where you grew up.

I don't know
what your parents are like.

I don't know what kind
of ice cream you like.

I like pralines and cream,
but it's... specific to me.

Okay.

So, I grew up

in this really small town
in India

called none of
your damn business.

All right, well,
you can try to fight this,

but it's gonna happen.

Nope. It's not.

Kidding.

Hey, Frankie, where'd you go?

I'm... exploring.

Will.

Will. Hey, look. Up here.

No, over here.

I've got eyes on McElroy.

He's not looking too good, but
he's only got two men with him.

I'm sure I could take him now.

No, don't engage.
Let them proceed to the exits

and have the gas
take them out, as planned.

I hear you.

I'm starting to really
like my idea, though.

Great, and I hear you,

but plans usually work best
when you stick to them.

Frankie, don't put that down.

Don't... Don't...

Frankie, don't...

You listen to me.

You get back here right now.

Don't you...

Where are you going?
Hey, stop it!

Frankie, do not use that Taser!

Target on the move, stairwell 3.

Where's the rest
of the security team?!

Susan, he's probably
coming to you.

Jai, go help her grab him.

Copy that.

Standish, get the car.

Why do Ihave to get the car?
I can help with McElroy.

Aw, come on...

I'm-a go get the car.

Get down!

Frankie, you need assistance?

I found the rest
of his security team.

There might be too many
to shoot our way out,

but I say we go for it.

Yeah, no, no,
let them get closer, though.

Freeze!

Freeze. In the air.

Get down on your knees. Come on.

Now?

Just a little closer.

Jai...

take us all out.

If that's what you want.

Come on.

Nighty night.

I blame youfor this.

You ready to train?

Let's do this.

All right. Okay.

My turn.

You tired?

I'm good. You seem tired.

You all right? You need a break?

I'm good.

I think I'm bleeding internally.

Hey, man.

I, I had
some crazy dreams last night.

Does that...
That stun gas of yours...

Does that leave
any permanent damage, or...

Well... can you
taste everything?

No.

You should be fine.

Hey, you know, you're... you're
missing quite a show in there.

No, I'm not.

- I don't have pads there!
- Stop kicking me!

Jai, you've got to stop
bugging people, seriously.

I feel so much shame.

You totally
turned me around on that.

Are we done?

You know, I'm thinking about
getting some fresh air.

I'm gonna go for a run.
You want to join me?

I'm... gonna make myself clear.

Sure.

We're not gonna bond.

Of course we are.

And that way, when you die,

I don't have to
call your parents,

because I won't know
their names.

Well, I'm... I'm not gonna die.

Ever, so...

We're spies, Will.

Do you know
any 60-year-old spies?

Me, neither.

But look, I'm sure there are
other members of the team,

right, who really want
to hear about your past and...

And stories from that perfect
little town you grew up in.

I'm sure it was named
something like

Caucasian Corners or...

WASP-ington.

Huntington, Indiana.

See? I was close.

You were only close
with WASP-ington.

Just 'cause of the "-ington."

Yeah. I think you've had
enough head blows for one day.

Aw, man!

Thank you so much.

Hey. What's going on here?

I asked Frankie

to teach Standish
some fight techniques.

Yeah, I'm the only one
without any combat training.

Whenever we have a physical
confrontation in the field,

I feel like I can barely help.

"Barely" is overstating it.

Calm down, before I have to
kick your ass again.

Okay, kiddo.

Hey, Will,

you think
once I finish my training

I'll be able to run point?

Hold up.

We're supposed to be
co-leaders of this team.

Why are you asking Will?

Will, you want to help me
on this one?

Well...

I gotta... nope. I don't wanna.

I am just as much in charge
as heis, right, Susan?

Back me up here.

Susan?

My God.

Youthink Will's in charge?

No.

No. No.

I... think
it's what you said before.

I think you two are co-leaders.

Good save.

But all
they're really saying is that

something you didn't want
to happen at all...

There you go... has happened.

My store is closing this week.

I own a store...

Do you... know why they think

you'rethe leader of this team?

Shh. This is "You've Got Mail."

I love that you came over
to watch this, by the way.

I came over to talk to you,
and you were already

watching it by yourself
when I got here.

Yeah, but then you said
you'd never seen it,

so that's what tonight's
become about.

Seriously, why do they think
you're the leader?

Really? You're gonna
make me turn...

Okay.

All right, look, um...

Frankie,
you're an amazing agent.

No, get to the part
that I don't already know.

Charming.

You know, in my spare time,

I-I coach
this youth soccer league.

Of course you do.

But at the end of the season,
during our trophy ceremony...

You won the championship?

No, we didn't win a single game,

but I still give
every kid a trophy

for things like,
you know, Most Improved,

Best Dancer, Best Hair...
That kind of thing.

No, I-I don't think
you understand how soccer works.

If you could see
the look on their faces

when they get that trophy...

Leading them is so fulfilling.

You got to realize, you have
the same opportunity right here.

No, you'vegot to realize

that we're not
talking about kids.

We're talking about
government agents

who shouldn't have to
have their hands held

when they have a job to do.

Well, thanks for hearing me out.

Hey, guys. Hope I'm not
interrupting anything.

No, he's making me watch
"You've Got Mail" with him.

Making you?

Will, that's ourmovie.

Yes, I'm cheating on you.
How does it feel?

Come on, Ray. What do you want?

Look, I just wanted
to call and say

great job taking down McElroy
in Hong Kong.

Although he wouldn't have gotten
far. Ticker's on the fritz.

Told you
he wasn't looking too good.

Which brings me
to my next point.

McElroy was in the market
for a heart.

Turns out he's been in contact

with this international
organ-harvesting ring

that we have been hunting for
for years.

Now's our chance
to finally take them down.

So pack your bags.

You're headed to the Ukraine.

Copy that.

I'm gonna download this
for the plane.

Good.

All right, listen up.

Our target's Michael Kenner.

Former henchman
turned international terrorist.

His organ harvesting ring
is responsible

for thousands
of missing persons.

His team of mercenaries
hunt the most vulnerable...

refugees, the homeless,
young tourists.

They don't care,
as long as they're healthy.

Wait a second.
Is that that urban legend

where you wake up
in a bathtub full of ice

with a really cool scar
but one less kidney?

Except these people
never wake up.

Every piece of them is harvested

and sold to the highest bidder.

Their customers are CEOs,

drug kingpins, even dictators...

The morally bankrupt elite

who will pay anyprice
to stay alive.

Ethan McElroy
had a meeting scheduled

to purchase his new heart.

Because of his extreme paranoia,

very few people
have seen his face.

So Standish will be
taking this meeting as McElroy.

The plan is to rendezvous
with Kenner's advance team.

We'll flash the cash
so they know that we're legit,

and then they'll schedule
the heart transplant.

His home base in Kiev
is where we take out Kenner

and dismantle his operation.

All right, you ready, "Ethan"?

I don't know...
Does this ugly-ass shirt

make me look like
a paranoid criminal mastermind?

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

I picked it.

Thank you, Jai.

Heads-up.

Our guests are early.

All right, you know the plan.

I'll be in the rafters,
watching your backs.

We got this.

Anything to add, co-leader?

You're adults. Do your job.

Inspiring.

What? You want me
to pick the Coolest Dancer?

No. But if I had to,
it would be Susan.

He's right.

Okay, Ray,
transmitting recon photos now.

You're Ethan?

My mama is the only one
who calls me Ethan.

Youcan call me Mr. McElroy.

This has all of
my updated medical records,

along with a password to access
the other records online.

Password is "KittenKuddles."

"Kuddles" also starts
with a "K."

When do I get my heart?

You got the money?

This guy.

Is an elephant heavy?

Then you best believe
the money is ready.

Jasmine.

Guys, I hate to bust in
on this channel,

but major flag on the play.

We've got a facial recognition
hit on one of the bodyguards.

The big tattoo on his neck,
facial scar, bald dude.

Yeah, he used to work
for McElroy.

He's gonna make Standish
the moment he sees him.

Frankie, Susan,
block his line of sight.

We good?

McElroy.

We will contact you
once we've acquired a donor.

He made you.

No matter what happens next,
do not blow your covers.

My guy.

Hey!

Get McElroy out!

Go, go, go, go!

Go! Let's go! Go!

Why is Will trying to shoot me?!

He's pretendingto shoot you
to protect our cover.

Okay, well,
what's gonna happen to him?

Will, come in. Will?

He's not answering.

I'm trying to find the car.
I could use something to go on.

You're the one
who saw the car. It was a black sedan.

Do you know how many people in
this country have a black sedan?

Will, can you hear me?! Will!

Aah! Too loud!

Guys, sorry. Call off the search.
We don't want to hurt his ears.

Will, we're in pursuit,

but we need some help
finding you.

All right. Copy that.

Feels like we just went over
some train tracks.

That matches a stretch of road
up ahead. Keep right.

And we just made the transition

from regular road
to cobblestones.

Cobblestones... cobblestones...

There. Turn left.

I think we may be
in the Village.

I can hear some music.

Guitar guy... right there!

Okay. We're close.

Who's behind the wheel?
Is that Jai?

That is correct.

Jai!

Did your dad
teach you how to drive

when you were a kid?

What was his name?

Really? Now?
You want to do this now?

Well...

We'd love to know
what car you're in, Will.

Yeah. I'm already
way ahead of you.

Look for the sedan...

whose hazards are flashing.

There.

Hold on.

Jai, don't you dare lose him.

Not gonna happen.

Heads-up... you've been made.

Yeah, I don't do well
in car chases.

Whoo! This is like
driving in Mumbai!

Jai, there's a car.

Jai, Jai, Jai, there's a car!

God! Remind me
to never go to Mumbai with you!

Go! Go, go, go!
We almost have him!

Damn it!

Aah!

Damn! My ass, Jai!

Would you please stop
freaking out about everything?

Guys, there goes the car!

Hurry up! Move, bitch!

Get out the way! Get out the way!

We'll find him.

There he is.

You guys stay here,
preserve your covers.

I'll go get him.

Come out of the car slowly,
with your hands raised!

Now!

He's gone.

What?

They switched cars.

We'll get him back.

Don't worry.

We'll get you back, Will.

Look at this guy?

Hey. You look healthy.

Healthy like money.

And I likemoney.

They will pay a lot for you.

Every... last... piece.

I've cleared it with Europol.

All of their resources
are at your disposal.

Great. Frankie, what can we do to help?
Nothing. I've got this.

Really? Because I can... I
can get in one of these...

Get me all CCTV footage
within 10 klicks of the hangar.

Done.

All right, listen up.

Will's comms are still active.

Come on.

I boosted the signal.

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo!

Cold hands, buddy.

Yeah, why don't you go
sit on those for a bit?

Yeah.

It's gonna be a long day
for you.

Hey, I want to thank you
for the free checkup,

but your,
your staff at this hospital...

Horrible bedside manner.

Andtwo hours from downtown?

So inconvenient.

Good job, Will.

Two hours' drive.

Okay, that means
we're within this radius.

If the satellite flights
are timed...

Shh. I'm... I'm thinking.
You do what you do.

Who are you working for?

And how much do you know
about my operation?

I don't know anything about you.

I was paid to take out McElroy.

You're a merc?

I used to be you...

Getting paid $60-, $70K
to take out some target.

Maybe getting yourself killed
in the process?

Fool's game.

Now, this,
my little chop shop...

We snatch them up,
bring them in,

take them apart...

Minimum effort, maximum profit.

Sounds great. You hiring?

Yeah, I'm afraid we don't
currently have any openings.

Really?

What about the guy
with the scar on his face

that I took out?

Unfortunately for you,

that was a close friend of mine.

Aw, I'm sorry.

Clever boy.

I assume
this is the well-dressed

bearded gentleman
from the alley.

Don't bother
trying to find your partner.

He'll be dead soon.

Hey, for fun,

let's test how strong
that heart is.

Have a great day.

We got to do something.

Yeah, you think?

Hey! Easy.

Okay, um...

this is a long shot,
but I might have...

s-something.

I-I mean,
he's gonna be okay, right?

What do you want me to say?

That everything's gonna be fine?

That somehow,
with no clear lead,

we're miraculously
gonna find Will

before these butchers
cut him apart?

Yeah, yeah, everything
is gonna be great!

Everybody feel better now?

Idon't.

Look.

I know that you are
used to being on your own.

You've been on your own
for a long time,

and you're not
used to leading a team.

That's why I gave you a push
and asked you to train Standish.

Which isn't going anywhere,

because I can't even
get through to him.

Yes. You can, Frankie.

You are.

You can lead us.
You've got it in you.

Ithink so.

Willthinks so.

What does he know, anyway?

What are we gonna do?

How are we gonna
get him back? Because...

I mean, it's not like
they're gonna call us.

You have an idea.

Is this an idea face?

It's an idea face.

I love idea face.

Jai.

Yes! Found you.

I'm betting you can hear me

because I'm pretty sure
that you bugged me.

Even though I told you
to stop doing that.

Well, if I can't hearyou,
you can hopefully hearme.

Knowing you,
it's got to be microscopic...

Maybe on a button or...

rivet on my jeans...

Yeah, it's in the jeans.

You know, for once, I'm actually
happy that you bug everyone.

So am I.

Just... I wish
you could hear me.

Um...

no obvious escape plan.

I was blindfolded the whole
time, so I can't tell you much.

The building looks old.

Maybe former military.

I cantell you that
there are other captives here...

A lot of kids.

So, regardless
of whether you guys

make it to me in time or not,

you've got to get them out.

Look, in the meantime...

this is a pretty good
opportunity for us to bond.

God.

Where do I begin, though, is...

All right.

William Stoddard Chase.

I'm the youngest of three.

My parents have been
married for almost 50 years.

W-we're super close.

I mean, holidays at my house
are magical.

Of course they are.

We carol. We sing.

We're big singers,
my family is. We're...

You'll learn that later.
You'll come over.

Man, I really hope
I get to see another Christmas.

Mostly for my folks.

My...

My older brother Kevin
was a Marine.

He was killed in Afghanistan.

I don't want them to have to
go through that again.

Look, Jai, if everything
goes sideways here,

my parents are Richard and Lori.

Do me a favor
and explain to them that...

Just tell them that they were
always on my mind.

And that I did my best.

And that I love them.

Thanks, Jai.

Okay, thanks to Will
keeping your cover,

they still think
"Ethan" is out there

and in desperate need
of a transplant.

That's our in.

We're gonna have them
give you Will's heart.

Okay. Cool.

Quick question, though...
Doesn't Will need it?

It's our quickest way
to find him,

and we're running out of time.

Okay, um...

what do you want me to change
about Ethan's medical records?

His blood type
and tissue antigens.

Will's blood type is O positive,

and HLAA1-B8-DR17.

I'm his "in case of emergency,
please contact" person, so...

That's adorable.

Well, we're besties.

Okay, my...

Ethan'smedical records
have been updated. Now what?

Send a message. Say that we're getting
desperate and you'll pay double.

You think that'll work?

Do I have a crystal ball?

I'm sorry.

I'm here for you,
and I'm hopeful.

And if there's one thing
that I know for sure,

it's that criminals are greedy.

Let's try it.

Okay. Kenner's people responded.
We're in.

Ray, you and Jai be
our eyes and ears on the ground.

Let's move.

Let's do it.

Roger that. Copy.

Now, look, I'm not saying
I was a chubbykid

in high school, right?

I mean... although I did have

a pretty intense relationship
with carbs.

Pizza, pasta.

Sometimes pasta onpizza.

Wrapped in bread.

Sometimes I just had
bread with mayonnaise on it.

But, look, team sports saved me.

I developed
a close group of friends,

learned how to interact with
people, connect with people.

That is why I'm really hoping
we get to go on that run.

We have to save you.

So then I can kill you.

Going jogging with someone, Jai,

that's the perfect opportunity
to really bond.

You're awake.

You're a lot tougher
than I thought.

Well, you know, I try
to eat right, get enough sleep.

Funny story.
I think you'll appreciate it.

Your heart is going
to the very man

you were hired to kill.

Wow.

Well, if that was
a flu shot, thank you.

I've just given you
a slow-acting paralytic.

The paralysis will
overtake you gradually.

Of course, you'll still feel
everything when we cut into you.

Can't wait.

Guys, time's running out.

We're here.

Have Ray coordinate a satellite
above our exact location.

Jasmine.

You know what they say.

Money can buy you happiness.

Nyet.

They don't say that.

I do.

Now, where the hell is my heart?

You can take my blood,
but I want my damn cookie after.

Prepare the sedative.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.

Where exactly is my donor?

I don't want some heart

that's been sitting in a fridge,
getting freezer burn.

I want a guarantee that
this thing is farm-to-table,

or the deal is off.

Your donor is downstairs,
in the operating room,

and is being prepped
as we speak.

Thanks for the info.

What...

Thanks. I, wasn't much help.

No.

Look.

You aren't
a good fighter... yet.

So use what you're good at...

Deception, screaming, surprise.

Okay.

I am so proud. I am...

I don't want to talk about it.

Do we know what the plan is?

I'm gonna free the hostages.

And I'm gonna help you
go get Will.

Good.

I'd watch your step.

Drop your gun.

You drop yourgun. What?

I don't even think you...
You can lift your arm.

Maybe I can't.

Then again, maybe I'm doing
everything I can

to stop myself from killing you
right where you stand.

And on that topic,

I have actually
shot my gun before.

And you're a doctor.

I'm willing to wager money

that you've never even
pulled the trigger on yours.

Y-You're bluffing.

Maybe I ambluffing.

Then again...

maybe...

maybe I'm fine.

Will!

What are you doing?

I can't move.

I'm-a hug you anyway.

Okay. Excuse me, sir.

There it is.

Nice.

Okay, listen up.

I need you to move
very quickly to that door.

Keep moving.

Let's go. You're free.

Yeah?

Come on. You're safe now.

You're welcome, by the way.

For what? I was
just about to save myself.

I mean, you know,
as soon as I could walk again.

Okay.

Gown suits you.

Yeah, not if you see it
from behind.

You may have
the world's palest ass.

Frankie, you should see it.

Yeah, I think I'm good.

Please.

I think I saw you
check it out earlier.

I didn't.

I assure you, I did not.

I think you did,
and I think you liked it.

Well, I can't like it
if I didn't look at it.

Look, all this "hate flirting"
is mesmerizing,

but can we put it on pause
until we get out of here?

Jai, can you help us
find Kenner?

Yep. We have eyes
from the satellite.

They're heading towards
the helicopter.

Kenner's a sociopath.

If he gets away, he'll just
set up shop somewhere else.

He'll never stop.

Well, what if we makeit stop?

You up for this?

Yeah.

I'm probably gonna
need some pants.

You're up, Standish.
Take out that helicopter.

Okay. I'm in position.

All right, you ready?

Get the lead out! Come on!

If you don't want to die,
come out now.

It's over.

Kenner, step out quietly.

Yeah.

"Quietly" isn't really me.

Either I walk away or we alldie.

Surprise, bitch!

Aah!

Ha ha!

Ha... ha!

I owed him.

Nice job.

Thank you!

Now, quick question... what am I
supposed to do with this?

- Ooh.
- Hey, Will?

We're gonna talk about this.

You... find the pin,
is what you do.

Find the pin. Find the pin.

Yep. It's a good game.

The pin.

To being home!

Yes, with no missing parts.

I never want to make that call
to Richard and Lori.

You remembered.

That was a moment.
We just had a moment.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

Where are you going? Not sure yet.

Come on.

Boy.

Whiskey! You're back!

Whoo!

No, no, no, no.

No, no. Okay. That's all right.

Listen, I, um...

I just want you to know
that I'm...

really glad that you're okay.

Thank you.

And so, maybe we could have,
like, a guys' night.

You know? We could watch,
"You've Got Mail"...

Okay. You're done.

'Cause that's ourmovie,
not yours.

Okay. Bye. It's ours!

Hey.

I just wanted to say thank you

for the pep talk the other day.

I didn't know I could do that.

I always knew you had it in you.

No, you didn't.

You're right.

But...

I'm proud of you.

We'll start training
again tomorrow.

Yeah.

I, can't wait.

Anybody want to play pool?

No? Anybody?

Nah.

Playing pool by myself.

What?

That was your "trophy ceremony."

Seriously, nice job.

You stepped up
and you led the team.

I guess I owe a thank-you to
the person who gave me a push.

I appreciate it,
but you do not have to thank me.

I was just doing
part of my job as co...

Susan, thank you.

It's what I do.

No. Wha... She always
knew I had it in me.

I did.

I... No. Isaid that.

I said... literally, word
for word, I said that to you.

I'm sure I would've remembered.

What?

W-Where is everybody going?

I almost died, people!

Good morning, Agent Chase!

If you're wondering
what time it is, it's 300 AM.

Now, since I had to
listen to you

prattle on and on
about your life

for just... hours...

I thought it was only fair
that I did the same.

So, come on, Will.

Let's bond.

I was born Jai Amitabh Datta
in Jamshedpur, India...

Wait. This should be deeper.

But I moved to the U.S.
when I was 5.

My favorite ice cream
is mint chocolate chip,

but not the green kind.

We're bonding.

I'm exhausted, Jai, so I'm gonna
have to take a rain check on this,

but, thanks, pal.

Yeah, no. Afraid not.

My mom, Priya, is a chef.

My dad, Gupreet, is a doctor.

And I don't care
about any of that,

because when I was 8,

I discovered
their movie collection

and became enchanted
by the magic...

of Bollywood.

Cue music.

My favorite film...
"Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi," 1958.

Let me tell you
all about it, Will...

In detail.

The plot,
at an existential level,

is about the search
for happiness.

But can we
really define happiness?

Let's try, Will... tonight.
