All language subtitles for The Sentinel s01e10 Vow of Silence

In all tribal cultures, every village
had a sentinel.

Now, a sentinel is chosen because of a
genetic advantage.

A sensory awareness that can be
developed beyond normal humans.

Your time spent in Peru has got to be
connected with what's happening to you

now.

I've got hundreds of documented cases of
one or two hyperactive senses, but not

one single subject was all fine.

You could be the real thing.

With the clubs. Yeah.

I haven't used these since I got them
about two years ago.

Figured I'd break them in on the links
out here.

Put in a couple rounds.

Where is the course?

There is no golf course, Jim. This is a
quiet contemplation sort of place.

No golf, huh?

So, when you said retreat, you meant
more like a spa, massage, you know,

bath, that kind of thing? No, I said
simple.

I probably even said Spartan.

Semper, where are we going with this?

What are we doing here?

Simon tells me that you haven't had a
day off in over a year. Your energy

level's way down, man. I mean, you've
even said yourself that your sensory

skills seem to be getting a little dull.

Yeah. So I did some reading, some
checking up.

The tribal elders, they used to send
their sentinels out once a year on a

retreat to sharpen their senses. So
you're talking about, like, solitude.

Right. Long walks in the forest,
primeval community with nature.

No civilization.

It's beautiful. I can deal with that.
Right, right.

Think of it as a place to get back to
your spiritual roots.

You know, if you're roping me into some
sort of New Age community here, workshop

type deal. No, no, no. This is no New
Age workshop, Jim. This is very, very

traditional.

Hop in, guys.

Okay, Chief. This whole monk thing they
do, it's an act, right?

You know, like when you go to Caesar's
Palace?

You know the guy in the toga taking your
bags isn't really alone.

I'm afraid you may have been misled,
Detective Allison. What exactly did

Blair tell you about our little resort?

Here we are.

Welcome to St.

Sebastian's, brothers.

I hope your ride wasn't too bumpy.

We only send the bus out twice a month.

Brother Christopher's driving suffers
from a lack of practice.

He's always kidding me about my driving.

Who's kidding?

Nice to see you again, Blair.

Oh, Brother Jeremy, it's a pleasure to
be back.

This is my friend, Jim Ellison. Jim,
this is Brother Jeremy, the abbot.

Glad to meet you. But when Blair
suggested a retreat, the last thing I

was a monastery.

No offense, gentlemen.

I was wondering when I could expect a
ride back to my truck.

Tomorrow morning.

I see.

Don't worry about it, man.

This place has everything you're going
to need. Really?

Do you have a satellite dish?

No.

Television? I'm afraid not.

Indoor plumbing?

Scared you.

Didn't work.

I see you've got electricity.

Actually, we just put in a generator.

In fact, we have a single light bulb in
every cell. We find it useful for

reading at night.

This is your cell.

It's what we call our rooms.

Excuse me.

Allison.

Hey, Sharon.

I'm out of town.

Well,

we'll pick it up where we left off.

Seven o 'clock sounds good.

I can't really... Okay.

Jim, did you just make a date in a
monastery?

She called me.

I'll give this back to you when you
leave. There's one in the office for

emergency calls only. No cell phones are
permitted. And I'll also take your gun.

No, I need my gun. I'm a cop.

I understand.

However, guns are not necessary at St.

Sebastian's.

Give him the gun.

This is a monastery. It's the last place
on earth you're going to need one.

Jim come on give it to him Hey

brother Christopher

He's

really okay once you get to know him
it's just that he hasn't been out of

for 20 years

There's really quite a story to it, a
mystery, really.

Brother Christopher, are you coming?

In a minute.

You know, I read a lot of detective
fiction in my personal hours.

We have no TV, and what else is there to
do? Also, I'm kind of an author, and I

was wondering, I'd really love it if you
would look at my stuff.

I mean, just check, you know, my police
procedures and all.

Sure, whatever you need.

Oh, thanks.

Well, I'll see you later.

Later, brother.

Love you, brother.

Jim,

I swear to you, you're going to get to
really, really appreciate this place.

Bow of silence.

You're already getting into it.

Maybe he's a sentinel monk.

Well. Marcus.

Hello.

I remember you. The young man who
promised to write.

To allow me to vicariously enjoy his
exploits in the real world. You know,

gets by sometimes.

Well, I forgive you.

But then... You have to!

Dude, you're great.

I've missed our talks.

Do you think we could have some time
while you're here to have a talk? You

count on it. You know, if you don't mind
me being around while you're working.

Well, part of my work is sharing it.

That's why we welcome visitors.

Oh, dinner.

Better hurry. There won't be anything
left but dinner. Leave that on. Let's

Oh, it's good to see you.

We are blessed with the bounty we are
about to receive.

And for the presence of our brothers
Blair Sandberg and James Ellison.

And thank you for bringing them into our
midst.

Brother James?

Would you care to complete the
benediction?

Well,

I... It's traditional to include one of
our guests.

All right, give it a shot.

Thank you, Lord, for all that you do.

For the great chili.

Amen.

Amen.

Oh, we got the web on tape. We got the
web.

I hear the fat lady.

I hear the fat lady.

Oh, nice to meet you.

Come on.

Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

not steal.

You better be careful, Jim. People might
think you're having a good time, man.

Yeah, well, it's not too bad. Give me
the ball. How about a rematch? Come on,

rematch.

We're going to have to count Timothy
out.

He's got to ring the bell for Vespers.

Pretty quiet guy.

He's taking a vow of silence.

You guys actually do that?

Oh, it's standard every morning from
four to six.

But sometimes, as in Timothy's case, we
do it for up to two months.

It's tough, but the effect can be quite
cleansing.

Well, come on, how about you? Oh, sorry,
babe.

Let's see your jump shot. Come on We
know you got one. Yeah Nothing but

All right, he's on your team

Forgive me, sir, but something doesn't
seem right here.

I mean, Timothy was young and athletic.
I mean, you saw the way he moved on the

basketball court today. Jim, do you
think you're jumping the gun a little

here? I mean, this isn't some back alley
in Cascade.

I don't understand.

What are you saying?

This might not have been an accident.

They're saying this was a murder.

Here at St.

Sebastian's.

I don't believe that.

Sir, I'm saying the death might be
accidental.

But with no witnesses, there's got to be
an investigation.

If only for your protection.

Now, I'll need to use your phone.

Must you bring more outsiders here?
Well, Jeremy, the man has died.

I mean, at the least, we're obligated to
report it.

Your phone's dead.

It's an old phone with old wires.
Wouldn't be the first time it was out of

order.

That's great. I'm going to need my cell
phone and my gun while you're at it.

They're gone.

Your gun and phone. I put them in this
drawer. It was locked.

You don't have to stay.

I'm as anxious as you are to find out
who killed him.

So you think he was murdered too?

Why?

Wherever mortals gather, there is evil.

I don't remember where I read that.

It's broken between the third and fourth
cervical, which is consistent with a

violent fall.

Excuse me.

What can you tell just by looking at its
ankles?

Let me have your flashlight for a
second.

Stand on this step.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

There's a small hole on each side of the
step.

I can feel a little moisture in the
sawdust here.

Which means it's pretty recent.

Probably a metal island was screwed in
on either side.

And then a wire or a piece of
monofilament line was stretched across

So that's what made the cuts on Timothy
Dangles? Yeah.

He was murdered.

Brother Timothy was murdered, and I have
the proof.

But why would anyone want to kill him?
Well, we don't know that yet.

What do you know?

I know that Timothy rang that bell at
the same time every day.

The killer must have been aware of his
routine and set a trap.

Are you suggesting that one of our monks
is a murderer?

Yes, sir.

I am.

Impossible. Someone must have come in
from the outside. Perhaps a thief trying

to get at those stained glass windows
we're restoring.

Some of those windows are very old and
quite valuable.

Timothy died in a tower, not in the
workshop.

Besides, that tripwire had been rigged
between the time that he rang the bell

for dinner and when he went back into
the tower to ring the bell for Vespers.

A stranger on the premises would have
been noticed immediately.

Now, I want all of us to go into town
together. I want you to wake all the

Is that an order, detective?

Well, if it has to be, yes.

You come barging into my world with your
cynicism and your radios and your guns

and your phones.

Now you're giving orders.

Brother Jeremy, a man has been murdered.

Now somebody has to take charge of the
situation and deal with it, not deny

it happened.

You don't like me, do you, detective?

You think I'm an anachronism?

That our order serves no purpose?

I didn't say that, sir. You didn't have
to. Guys, guys, let's deal with the

subject at hand here, okay?

We're all going to be a lot safer once
we get out of here.

Brothers, I apologize for the
inconvenience, but getting you out of

is the only way that I can ensure your
safety.

I promise you I'll do everything I can
to get you back here as soon as

Blair is warming up the bus, so at any
moment... All four

tires on the bus have been slashed.

Jim, listen to me, man.

Somebody really does not want us to get
out of here. What are we going to do?

We asked for a volunteer to take a walk
in. No.

If I was a murderer, I'd want to get out
of here and I'd be the first one to

raise my hand.

Gentlemen, we're going to need a
volunteer to make a walk back to town.

I think that Brother Theodore can be
trusted with that job.

Brother Theodore, do you think you can
handle this? I've walked 15 miles three

times a week for the last 40 years.

In the middle of the night?

Would you care to put a C note on it?

Which, of course, I would turn over to
the church.

I'll take that bet.

When you get into town, would you notify
the authorities and apprise them of the

situation? I understand.

I'll just stop and get a few supplies
and I'll be on my way.

Terrific. Thank you.

Well, brothers, I suggest we retire to
our cells, lock ourselves in, and

maintain silence for the rest of the
night.

Try to sleep if you can.

And please, remember Brother Timothy in
your prayers.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your
cooperation.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I think we have a problem.

Good morning.

Brother Anthony, I know this is a bad
time to be asking questions, but I

have to.

I was wondering if you could shed some
light on Brother Timothy's background.

Thanks anyway.

Detective!

I'm sorry. We observe a two -hour period
of silence every morning.

It's to help us remember our vows.

I'm sorry. The bell rings to let us know
when we can speak.

Right.

Anyway, besides the vows, well... What?

Some of the brothers are afraid of you.
And Blair.

Afraid of us?

Well, we're your only protection here.

They think you might be the killers.

You are outsiders, and you arrived the
night that Timothy died.

And what do you think?

Oh, I trust in the Lord.

If he calls me, I'm more than willing to
join him.

The only thing I can tell you about
Timothy is that he was from Kansas.

And what about the other brothers?

You know, we don't usually talk about
our old lives here.

Most of us have come here to put the
rest of the world behind us for good.

And I'm fairly new here, so...

I'm here to solve Timothy's murder.
That's all I want to do right now.

Any information, any detail that you can
give me, regardless of how small, is

going to be of great help.

Well, Brother Michael, he's our newest
arrival.

He's been unusually secretive about his
past.

And the others?

Marcus,

Joseph, they've been here about as long
as Jeremy.

Marcus was an accountant.

Joseph was a social worker.

Um, Frederick, who was an actor in the
movies.

Mostly low budget. That's why I
recognize him, of course. Now, I hear

been here for 20 years or so? No, he's
very dedicated to his mission.

He's a little bit gruff, but he's
probably the most decent man I know.

Christopher? Christopher, I believe, was
a life insurance salesman. Ah, I see.

That would explain why he talks so much.

And what about yourself?

Well, um...

I was a man without direction.

Different jobs all over the country.

And then one day I walked into a church
and my mission became clear.

It was actually as simple as that.

I wish I could believe like you do.

Jeremy says I'm cynical.

Maybe I am.

Well, in the outside world, it's hard
not to be. I've got to get back to work.

Thank you for your time.

Who were you questioning, Brother
Antony?

Why were you watching us from the tower?

Well, Jeremy gave me Timothy's duties. I
looked at it. I saw you.

Antony is suspect?

Everybody is.

Well, why would I want to kill Brother
Timothy?

Why would anybody?

So far, I don't have anything even
resembling a motive.

Until I do, every monk is a suspect.
It's nothing personal.

I understand.

But you can trust me.

Matter of fact, I'm working on a couple
of leads I'm going to follow up on.

Terrific.

I'll keep you in the loop.

Right, do that.

Timothy used to come out here every
morning.

I'd see him sitting right up here on
this bench, sitting there and looking

I always wondered what he was thinking
about.

He had good eyes, you know.

There was truth in them.

I was looking forward to the end of his
silence so we could talk.

Not many men are willing to choose this
life.

Temptations of the world are too great.

When I entered this monastery, I found
what I was looking for.

It's not for everyone.

But it works for me.

And I'll see you at breakfast.

Don't be late. Nothing but progress.

Bye -bye.

Father Marcus?

Did you find out anything?

No, Jim.

I could never do what these guys do.

The sacrifice, the commitment.

I just can't believe that one of them
would kill another.

You just got to remember they're flesh
and bone, just like you and me.

Excuse me.

Brother Jeremy asked if you'd meet him
in your cell.

What are you doing?

Brother Frederick found these in your
cell.

Wait a minute. Nobody's trying to set me
up. Can't you see that? They're trying

to get me out of the way.

You guys are in even more danger.

Perhaps, but not from you.

Jeremy, come on. You know me.

I'm sorry, Blair. We can't take any
chances.

Is he serious?

Jeremy, come on. Open the door. Open
this door!

Jeremy!

All these clowns.

I've had it with them.

I'm going out the window now.

I can't do that, but I found something
you should see. It's in my room. I'll be

right back.

No, no, open the door first!

What the hell is that? It's what?

Fuel oil.

Kerosene.

Where?

Well, like, it's coming from down the
hall.

Killer injected the light bulb with a
flammable liquid.

When Christopher hit the switch, the
filament set it off.

No, and he was trying to help us, too.

Or maybe he found something.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say.

Why don't you tell that to Brother
Christopher?

I understand your anger.

And I fully deserve it.

But from now on, you'll have my total
cooperation.

And that of the other monks.

Please find whoever's responsible for
this before another of us dies.

What's gone?

That was the battery.

That look familiar?

Sort of. Jackie Kizinkov.

Ran the Midwest Unions in the 70s.

More of a gangster than a union leader.

Mac Deering, Thornton.

You name it.

Rumor had it that he owed him several
contract billing.

And then he turned federal witness and,
uh, blow the lid on those mob guys who

was doing his dirty work for him? And he
disappeared, right?

Yeah, the popular notion had it that he
was murdered.

But they never found the body.

It was a big, huge national story,
wasn't it?

Did you see that ring?

Where have you seen that ring before?

Um, I don't know. Brother Jeremy's right
hand.

What?

Brother Jarrett?

Well, if that's him in the picture, Jim,
what is going on here?

I don't know.

It's possible that it had something to
do with the death of Christopher.

I don't know. Don't you think that's
kind of out there, man? I mean, why is

someone going to kill a guy because of a
picture taken of a man that disappeared

15, 20 years ago?

Jeremy had said that one of the purposes
of the monastery was to provide a

refuge. Now, what if Kaczynski isn't
dead?

What if he's here?

Who is who?

Jackie Kaczynski.

I don't know what you're talking about.
Sure you do.

One of your monks was Jackie Kaczynski.

Christopher may have died because he
found that picture.

That's your ring, isn't it?

What happened, Jeremy?

Is Kaczynski a friend of yours?

What did he do? Did he roll over on the
mob or something?

So you gave him a place to hide?

He had a little plastic surgery just to
be safe?

You don't understand.

No, I understand fine.

You provided a murdering gangster with a
refuge.

And then after all these years, somehow
Timothy figured it all out. And

Kaczynski killed him. No. Yes. And then
Christopher found out.

Kaczynski killed him as well. No, my
God, you're wrong. No, I'm not. Get out.

No, I won't. Get out. No. It's enough,
Jeremy.

It's over.

I've been responsible for enough deaths.

I'm Jackie Kaczynski.

What?

You murdered two of your friends?

I won't deny I've done things in the
past, terrible things.

But despite the accusations, I've never
been involved in murder.

Not in my past, not here, and certainly
not now.

Well, Blair, come on, you have to
believe me.

If you're not responsible for these
deaths, who is?

Who killed Timothy and Christopher?

Someone from the world Marcus left
behind.

See, I'm unfinished business.

They gave away their secrets. As long as
I'm alive, my crimes go unpunished.

What are you two suggesting?

One of the other monks is a contract
killer for the mob?

Jeremy doesn't want to believe it, but
it's the only logical conclusion.

We're the most recent arrivals.

Anthony and Michael.

Michael was a banker. Roy, no family.

Anthony grew up in Indiana.

In fact, he was a point guard for his
university basketball team.

Anthony, full scholarship.

On the way he played last night, you'd
think he'd never touched a basketball.

Looks like you found your man,
detective.

Move! All right, here's the drill.

You turn over Jackie Kaczynski to me, no
one else needs to get hurt. I already

told you, Kaczynski isn't here. I told
you, I don't believe you!

We'll just have to start shooting people
and maybe I'll get lucky.

When you see the big guy upstairs, you
tell him to teach you how to lighten up.

Stop it!

I'm Jackie Kaczynski.

It's easy.

Wait.

I am Jackie Kavinsky.

Once, I was known as Jackie Kavinsky.
Thank you, brother.

But I'm Jackie Kavinsky.

And I am Jackie Kavinsky.

You won't want to play martyrs?

Fine.

How many rounds you got in that gun?

One of us is going to be on you before
you're through it.

But I think we've just sentenced
ourselves to a mass grave.

That's not going to happen.

Blair, check that door.

Yeah, it's me.

Okay, so it took a little longer than I
thought. Just get up here, will you?

No.

It doesn't matter. I'm going to do it
all anyway.

To get lost, just look for the big light
in the sky.

I think I can make it.

It's 55 feet.

Great, Jim. What are you going to do
with two broken legs? Come on.

How much does this bell weigh?

About a thousand pounds.

My brothers, I'm going to need your
belts.

You got a good prep.

Now would be a good time to pay it.

I seem to be short about still being
used.

You can keep it.

I have to put up.

What?

It's going to be safer that way. Just
go. Come on.

Will you get this off?

Oh, man, I'm not glad to see you.

You had two months to find Jackie, and
you didn't do it.

You could have killed all of them, and
you didn't do it.

Now, I'm going to give you one more
chance to atone for your sins, brother.

Now we've got to rally the brothers in
order to fight.

Don't ever say this.

As part of our vows, we're committed to
abstain from violence of any kind.

Or even if you're attacked.

I'm sorry.

Brothers, the situation appears rather
grave.

We have to do something to help.

I'm just told, Detective Ellison, that
won't be possible.

Brother, I really think in this case...
No.

On this point, there will be no
discussion.

There's no place that's safe.

I think that's about all we need here.

God have mercy on this. All right, thank
you.

Are we all right there?

Yeah.

Gotcha, Kaczynski, you son of a bitch.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy.

Come on.

Come on.

Let it go.

No, I got you.

It's a miracle.

Why didn't you tell me? I didn't want to
take any chances.

Oh, man, I can't believe this.

I'm really sorry about judging you
before.

I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke
to me again.

I'm in silence.

Me?

It's not possible.

I'm glad. Take care, Brother Marcus.

Here's that C -note, Brother Theodore. I
never doubted you'd make it. Thank you.

Something wrong, sir?

I must admit I'm having trouble
accepting responsibility for my violent

Well, if it's any help to you, I forgive
you.

Thank you, Brother Jim.

Next time we go away for a little peace
and quiet, I'm going to choose the

place. Okay. Where?

I don't know.

I was thinking about a little contrast
would be nice, you know? Maybe Vegas.

Sin City?

All right.

But don't tell the monks that.

It's sacrilegious. Oh, yeah? Yeah? Well,
I guess then that rules out the favor I

was going to ask them.

What favor?

Well, I was going to ask Brother
Theodore to bless my dice, you know?

Let's give it a shot.

Or maybe my pool cue.
