All language subtitles for The Sentinel s02e08 The Rig

Tonight on The Sentinel.

The cause of death was a sudden
reduction of pressure in the dive

other words, he blew up.

Basically, yes.

You're crazy.

I know my crew. They're not killers.

You know something. You better tell me.
I've got a job to do.

And what's to do out here when you're
not working except read?

We should get together and talk books
over coffee.

I'd like that.

You ever feel someone welcomed in a
place?

The guy wires in the radio until he has
to snap in the wind.

This didn't snap. This has been cut.

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for
survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a
sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war
against crime.

If you can.

Yeah.

I'm checking the dive system now.

Look, I know the situation.

I told you how I feel.

So we contact the authorities and let
them handle it.

But can we talk about this later?

I've got a job to do.

Hey, Jim.

What's going on, man? You got a hot date
tonight or something?

Time to get organized, Chief.

This mess here is starting to drive me
crazy.

What mess?

Three weeks ago, this was a peanut
butter and sprouts found whole grain.

Now it's an experiment in germ warfare.

Oh, hey, hey, hey. Be careful with that.

This is a rare devil mass from the
Onkantu tribe in Kenya. It's on loan to

university. I'm using it for my
research.

Why is it lying around?

It's not lying around.

It's been in the same spot since last
Thursday.

These papers on the TV, they've been
here since April. Well, that's how we

I go back and forth with things when the
muse strikes.

You got your own bedroom back, Chief.

Muse it up all you want. Don't you think
you're getting a little territorial

here?

Territorial? Yeah, territorial.

Let's take the refrigerator, for
example.

You've got the leftovers color -coded.
You've got yours in the blue, mine in

red. And let's talk about your house
rules a little bit here. I can't flush

toilet after 10 o 'clock. I can't play
any music that you can hear out here in

the living room. Who can live like that?

I can live like that.

Allison. Yeah, Mr. Simon.

About an hour ago, the Coast Guard
received a call from an offshore oil

production rig. There's been a dent.

Wouldn't that be the Coast Guard's
jurisdiction?

Normally, but there are a few questions
here that they need some answers to.

Besides, the captain's a buddy of mine.
I told him we'd help out.

There's a storm alert all along the
coast. They're really strapped for

Who got killed?

Details are a little sketchy. You'll
have to fill in the blanks when you get

there. Now, the name of the rig is the
North Star 5. It's owned by Cyclops Oil.

Company chopper will take you there.

Exactly how far out are we talking?

I don't know, 40, 50 miles.

All right, nutty.

Yeah.

Would you look at that ocean?

So raw.

So primal.

So deep.

I'm sorry.

I love this stuff. You know, it's an
adventure.

Something Hemingway or Jack London, you
know?

Men against the sea.

Just men, huh?

Oh, hi.

Hey, Professor Bubble, Captain Ahab.
This is a co -ed operation.

I didn't mean anything.

Look, we're going to be on that rig in
another five minutes. That storm front's

moving in pretty fast, so it's going to
get kind of bumpy.

Strap in that tight little buddy or it's
going to have chop.

Need any help with that chop?

You too, beefstick.

Bird, you boys head to the meds hall.
See that first store on the third floor

from the deck.

You're beasting.

I would knew I'd wrap up my business
fast. It'll be dark soon and that

storefront's moving in pretty quick.

All right.

Jim.

Jim, you okay? What is it?

Nothing.

There's some kind of protocol involved
here. There are certain tribes on the

Amazon that newcomers actually have to
strip down. I'm Detective Ellison,

Cascade Police Department.

Who'd be in charge here?

I am.

Ben Crilly, big format.

Hi, Ben.

There's been a death reported?

It was an accident. I understand why the
police are involved.

We've been requested to investigate.

Investigate what?

Ben, I'm sure you're just as anxious to
get us out of here as we are to leave.

Yeah, sorry.

It's just that it's tough on the crew
when you lose a guy, you know.

How can we help?

We need to see the medic's report and
the body.

I'd be in the infirmary, C -deck.

Medic's name is Weaver. You have to show
yourselves around, though. We've been

setting risers on the wellhead around
the clock. We're shorthanded as it is.

All roustabouts.

Rotary table in three minutes.

I want that 30 -inch casing at the
ready. Excuse me, gentlemen.

Let's go. I guess we gotta go find C
-Duck.

Either of you gentlemen direct us
towards C -Duck?

Two levels down.

Infirmary's right off the main corridor.

Thanks.

You okay, partner?

I will be.

Hot water to my suit crapped out during
the dive this morning.

A damp body loses heat quick when you
breathe in helium, oxygen, and 40

water.

Yeah.

You're the Rick Diver.

Yeah.

The only water man out here now that
Buchanan's gone.

His name's Lacey Billings.

How you doing?

Buchanan. Is that the guy who died in
the accident?

Mm -hmm.

Can you tell us what happened?

It was a sleep.

Who found him?

I don't know.

Do you know who called the Coast Guard?

Look.

If you guys will excuse me, I'm gonna go
take me a hot shower.

Try to get rid of this chill.

Cause of death was a sudden reduction of
pressure in the dive system, causing

massive tissue and organ damage.

So, in other words, he blew up?

Basically, yes.

How did it happen?

The saturation dive system.

Buchanan was making a routine check on
it.

And? And there was an accident.

What kind of an accident?

Oh, I couldn't tell you. I wasn't there.

Who was?

He was alone.

Who found the body?

I don't know.

Who put the call into the Coast Guard?

I don't know that either.

There were 12, 13 men on this rig.

Man dies and nobody knows what happened.

Look, Detective, I'm just a medic.

If you don't know who found the body or
how it happened, how do you know it was

an accident?

Maybe you should talk to the rig
foreman, Mr. Crilly. Crilly told me to

you.

I'm going to need to see the body.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I do.

Are you sure you want to do this? Open
it.

Oh, man.

Tell me something, Mr. Weaver.

How does a man do that to himself
accidentally?

Ever feel so unwelcomed in a place?

We're invading their territory, Jim.

These guys work up here for weeks at a
time.

They develop their own society.

Chief, you ask me, there's something
much bigger than resentment going on

here.

Check it out.

What is it? Check it out. My fingers are
all burning and itching. You don't feel

it.

Open it up.

For Buchanan to die in here, this hatch
would have to be closed and all the

pressure would have to be pumped out of
here.

So what are you getting at?

For one thing, he can adjust the
pressure any time he wanted to with this

release valve.

Looks like it works just fine.

Even if it didn't, all he'd have to do
is unseal the hatch.

Freak accidents happen.

Sure they do.

I think we just had the jackpot here,
Chief. You see this mark? Mm -hmm.

And this one here?

We need to get a crime unit out here
ASAP, and it's what we do. Nobody leaves

this rig.

Well, you got the second part right.
That storm front is right on us, and

it blows over, we are completely cut off
from the mainland.

Nobody on this rig is going anywhere.

Get him out here as soon as possible.

Okay, Jim, but from what I hear, it'll
be a while.

Storm is going to hit in the coast hard.
You and Sandburger are going to be

stuck out there in the meantime.

I have never told you this.

Hell, I never told anybody this. I
always had the thing about open water.

Deep water.

What, like a phobia?

But you're in special forces, covert
ops. I mean, you had to parachute over

water and stuff like that. Yeah, but
that was different. I was always inside

land. I mean, out here with all this
water around, I mean, that's all I could

see.

It's just starting to get to me a little
bit. All right, just take it easy.

You don't look so good there, beef
stick.

Come on. I got a cup of coffee that's
guaranteed to take off the shelf.

What is this place?

My operations room.

You guys are welcome to use it. I don't
mind the company.

This is good.

One part Colombian, one part espresso,
one part chocolate, and two parts rum.

Love in the time of cholera.

Gravity's rainbow.

The painted bird. Are these yours?

Not much to do out here when you're not
working except read.

I'm impressed.

Surprise.

You little... Ah, you figured I was just
one of these blue -collar lesnos.

Yep.

You know, if you have some time, we
should get together and talk books over

coffee.

I'd like that.

Oh, don't worry. That's just from the
store. Rick can handle it. It gets a

little noisy sometimes, though.

All right, let's move out.

I'm not waiting for the forensics team
to show.

Give the killer too much time to cover
his trail.

Where do we start?

Buchanan was a lead diver.

I'd like to take a look at the diver's
ready room.

Why would anybody kill Buchanan?

I mean, I work with some of these guys.
I'm not saying they're saints, but I

don't see any of them committing murder.

Do you have any idea who found the body
or put the call into the Coast Guard?

When it happened, I was on a supply run
to the mainland.

What doesn't make sense to me is why
would someone call the Coast Guard and

leave a name?

There's a lot of things about this case
that don't make any sense, Chief. I

mean, that's why I was thinking it.

What is it?

I can smell smoke.

Must be your imagination. We get state
-of -the -art smoke detectors on the

They smell it way before you.

Where's he going?

Quick, quick.

He's telling me his nose is more
sensitive than the smoke detector.

Go figure.

Hey, I'm near.

He's so tired of all the gears in there.

What the hell is in here that could burn
like that? And the bino.

That's all.

This is ours.

Somebody wanted to try and destroy these
diver suits.

That's nuts. Why would anybody want to
burn this stuff?

You tell me, Curly.

It's your rig.

Anybody see anything?

No, I... Of course not. Everybody, back
to work. Come on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Let's go,
boys. Move. Okay.

Why would somebody set on fire and then
go tan behind and give it away?

They're probably in an awful hurry.

Who the hell was that?

I think it was Chuck Brown.

What are you doing on this rig?

I work here. Since when? Three months
ago.

You guys know each other? You can say
that.

I help a truck away.

I did my time, man. I got a real job
now.

That's roustabout.

I learned welding in the prison work
program. They set me up with it.

Other workers know about your past?

Clearly does.

I didn't tell nobody else because I'm
trying to make a clean start.

What do you know about Jackie Cannon's
death?

Nothing.

What about the fire in the radio room?

What fire?

You're sweating, Chuck. What's wrong?

It's hot in here.

It's not 60 degrees.

Look, I don't got time for this. I got a
job to do.

Why don't you make the time?

What are you doing outside the
operations room just now?

Looking for Maggie.

I got to see my parole office on Friday.
I'm trying to hitch a ride to the

mainland.

We'll talk again.

Yeah. Right.

You busted him?

Yeah.

He used to work as a knee -breaker for a
loan shark named Eddie Coogan.

He's kept out of trouble here.

This is Bryce.

Hey, Maggie, it's Ridley over in the
radio room. I'm looking for that

You seen him?

Yeah, I'm right here.

Your captain wants to talk to you. Is
this a support?

All right, I'm on my way.

We must have disconnected the external
LAN stand. It's happened before.

All right. We'll check it out. You keep
trying to release it. All right.

Hang in there, boy.

You've got a nasty gas on your head, but
I don't think you're going to need

stitches.

Don't be worried there, Chief. What
happened?

Sky wires in the radio antenna must have
snapped from the wind.

This didn't snap.

This has been cut.

What? What are you saying? That someone
meant for that antenna to fall on us?

Somebody didn't want us to get through
to Simon.

Maggie, is there another radio on the
rig?

Damn.

You're crazy.

I know my crew. They're not killers.

What about Truckbrower?

He punched out a couple of guys. That
doesn't make him a murderer. He's a good

man. They all are.

Somebody killed Buchanan.

And it seems as if somebody's trying to
kill my partner and me.

So as of this moment right now, I'm
ordering you to shut this rig down until

further notice.

Who the hell are you to give me orders?

I'm a police officer in charge of a
crime scene. That's who I am.

We're 40 miles offshore, mister, and
your authority stops at the mainland.

only voice I answer to is Cyclops Oil.
Until they tell me different, this rig

keeps pumping, right on schedule.

When the storm is over, you and your pal
are out of here.

You make accusations, make them to my
face.

If you're involved with anything that's
happened on this rig, Brower, you're

going down.

I said it once. I'm clean.

You know something.

You better tell me.

Guys, I know Ben Curley. I mean, he can
be hard -headed sometimes, but basically

he's a decent guy.

Maybe if I try to talk to him. It's a
waste of time.

Then what do we do?

Just keep digging.

Look, I'm just a pilot, but it seems to
me that the smart thing to do would be

to lay low until the storm blows over
and then bring in more cops.

Just you and your friend trying to
handle this by yourself could get real

dangerous. She makes a lot of sense,
Jim. We give this guy too much time, he

cover his tracks permanently.

Now, I'm going to go down to the diver's
ready room. There's probably something

there that we missed. The fire was set
for a reason.

You stay put, Chief. You took a nasty
one to the head. I want you to lay low.

And that's an order.

At least pick a radio.

Yeah, I was just checking to see if the
radio worked.

It does.

Jimmy, I was thinking, I'm going to have
to call you back.

Jim?

Jim? Jim, are you there?

Yeah, Jim.

That diver, Lacey Billings?

I found him dead in the store down on
Sea Deck.

Jim, you're fading.

I'm following what might be the killer.

Jim, I can't hear you.

Jim, can you read me?

Jim! I gotta go.

Jim? Jim?

Thanks.

No problem.

Just, uh, don't touch me.

I was following somebody and trying to
track them with my hearing.

Next thing I know, this machine kicks
in.

Totally blows me out.

And then, boom, lights out.

See, that's why you need me to back you
up.

Did you see the guy who hit you? No, but
I got a good look at the body of that

diver, Billings.

His face and his hands were covered with
these lesions, you know, these burns.

What could cause them?

I don't know. I felt something like that
when I was in the military.

Some chemical warfare weapons.

What? Yeah.

How could he come into contact with that
out here in an oil rig?

Maybe he wasn't on the rig.

I mean, think about it.

Billings was a diver, right?

Something he found at the bottom of the
ocean?

Maybe, yeah.

Classified dumping site. An old wreck.
Some kind of military transport that was

carrying chemical weapons.

That's probably why I had that weird
sensation in my fingers in the dive

chamber. If it was chemical weapons, why
try to hide it? Are you kidding me? You

know how many countries would love to
get their hands on that sort of thing?

Okay, so Billings goes down, finds the
stuff, and somehow gets exposed to it.

Maybe one of the containers was leaking.

That's probably why they had to burn the
dive suit.

They were probably covered with the
stuff.

Fine. Why kill Buchanan?

Maybe he didn't go along with the plan.

And I thought cops were supposed to be
dumb.

But you're smart, beefstick.

Too damn smart.

You too, lamb chop.

So where's the ship?

McKenna found it during a bottom survey.

Best we can figure, she went down in 71
in a big storm, headed for Vietnam.

This was one of those secret CIA things,
your tax dollars at work.

Ben, you there?

It's Bryce.

Yeah, Maggie.

I got our friend.

I heard the man.

Better put on some clothes.

I've got two brothers. Don't be shy.

I've got to get off this rig and get me
a boyfriend.

Who are you selling this stuff to,
Maggie?

I should say it's a group of people who
pay very well.

Don't worry, they're involved in the
Rome political struggle, so they won't

it on the good old USA.

They'll use it on each other.

When I was in the military, I saw what
this stuff can do to people.

Get serious, Ellison.

Nobody cares about little third -world
countries and what they do to each

The way I see it, I'm providing a very
valuable service.

War is population control.

You're quite the philosopher, aren't
you, Crilly?

Yeah. How are we going to handle this?

Take him upstairs to the generator room.

There's more noise.

I knew there was something squirrelly
going on around here, but I just didn't

know what.

You must be the one who called the Coast
Guard about Buchanan.

Yep. Why didn't you give your name?

And set myself up as a troublemaker?

Look, I'm an ex -con, man, and I already
got one strike against me. And I like

this job.

You want to keep it?

Give me the gun.

I don't think so.

Big mistake, Bauer.

The other one is making a mistake.

Yeah?

Looks like my business partner's got
here just in time.

I want you to separate from the others.

Down. Come on.

Okay, fellas.

Trans up.

I'm sorry about this, Lamb Chop. I guess
we're not going to have that coffee

after all.

Always had bad timing when it comes to
men.

You don't have to do this, you know.

You mean give it all up and go straight
for you?

You're cute, honey, but you're not that
cute.

Storm over, your friends from the
mainland will probably have you out in a

couple hours, so in the meantime, keep
it warm.

How long did you set the timer for?

Twenty minutes.

Maggie, it's the only way. When that
explosion hits this rig and sends it to

bottom, they're going to figure we're
dead, too.

You want to spend the rest of your life
looking over your shoulder?

Huh?

Come on.

Maggie didn't fasten his handcuffs too
tight.

I just wanted to see if I could, uh...
Ow.

Ow. Ow.

Ow.

Ow. Ow.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Let me have a little bit on my wrist.

Here we go.

Oh, man.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Let's ship before they get underway.
Maybe I can stop them.

I'm a pretty good swimmer.

Maybe I should go with you. Negative. I
want you to stay here and try and get

that radio working to get some help out
here.

Even with that antenna down, it's
possible to reach a coast guard ship in

area.

You sure you want to do this?

No.

I got an idea.

You know the zone out back there where
you get so focused on one tent you block

all the others out?

Yeah. I think you can use that to your
advantage here.

If you use your sense of sight to focus
in on that ship, it'll block out all

your other senses. You won't be so aware
of the sea.

Come in. This is the Oil Rig North Star
5. We have an emergency. Please come in.

How much longer?

Four minutes and 19 seconds.

North Star 5 is going to go sky high.

Those oil drums are going to give us
some real fireworks.

Coast Guard, Coast Guard, it's the oil
rig North Star 5. We have an emergency.

Come in.

No, sir, fine. You read me.

Jim, is that you?

Timber, listen to me.

There's a bomb on the rig.

What? You've got to get out of there
right now.

Well, what about the rest of the crew?
They're still locked up.

It's set to go off in three minutes.

Do you know where it is?

I've really said something about an oil
drum.

G -Deck, I'm on my way.

Which oil drums?

Forty seconds.

Forty seconds.

Ten. Nine.

Seven seconds.

Six.

The rig should have flown. I don't know
what the hell happened.

The explosive didn't go off. Then we
better get another one.

We can't leave the rig standing. We've
got to go back and reset the explosive.

I'm not waiting for the American Corps
to show up. We are leaving.

Those guys on that rig told the Coast
Guard what happened. They're going to

out for the Navy.

I'll take that chance.

What do you mean? You and I got a deal.

Zvignitsa, strillia.

raised you on the radio and got worried
and decided to call in a coast guard.

Well, your timing is impeccable as
always, sir.

Ellis!

Somebody said you want to see me.

I guess I owe you an apology.

I guess you do.

Sorry.

I hope you accept.

All right, now, bro.

Why don't we step over here and you tell
me your version of what went down here

tonight, huh?

Okay.

You must be feeling pretty good.

I mean, you did. I did what?

You conquered your fear of the water.

Oh, yeah, I guess I did.

Yeah. Now I'm ready for the really big
challenge.

What's that? Hell's breaking you.

We got a couple rules around the house
that we're going to attend to.

Like what? Well, first of all, there's
not going to be any shoes allowed in the

apartment. On the premises. They're
going to be kept out the door like they

in Japan.

Come on. Next, there's not going to be
any of those smelly foods that you have

from foreign countries that aren't even
on the map. You think you're taking this

a little too far? No, no, no. And I'm
also thinking about getting some of

plastic covers for the furniture.

What? Well, maybe not. I mean, I...
