All language subtitles for the_sentinel_s02e16_dead_drop

Tonight, on The Sentin.

You're a model.

Not for much longer. A 10 -25 extortion
at the Wilkinson Tower.

It looks like the real thing.

And, uh, he calls himself, uh, Galileo.

Whoa! Whoa!

Shut the power!

Oh, my God! There's a timer and a whole
bunch to see for it, Joel. I have no

idea what... 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.

and lunch.

Yeah, you and half the floor.

Shoot, my lucky record's already on its
way down.

Story of my life.

Could you hold that, please?

Your model.

Not for much longer.

You getting on or what?

Yeah.

Acceleration disease.

What?

It's an affliction common to the 90s.
Everybody's wired, overcommitted.

They got lots of information like that.

That thing you said about being wired.

Yeah? You must be a mind reader.

Yeah.

Guy was weird, huh?

Hey, let's just brief this.

Hey, Jim, want to grab some lunch?

Normally I would, Simon, but I told
Sandberg I'd meet him for some Cuban

Where is it?

It's late as usual, so I'm just going to
blow it off.

More research questions?

Sandberg's never ending search for the
missing link.

Maybe you should check him out.

Why don't you and I just go?

No, no, come on, call him. He can meet
us at the restaurant.

Sure? Yeah, yeah, you can hurry up. I'm
on you.

Looks like we're stuck in between
floors. Oh, no.

Just calm down.

This kind of stuff happens every day.
I've been working with the police

department. You're a cop?

No, not exactly. I'm a research fellow
at the university. My name is Blair

Sandberg. I didn't do it. Would you hit
the red button over there, please? With

pleasure.

Hello, Car 4.

This is building security.

Is everybody all right?

Yeah, yeah, we're fine. What's wrong?

I don't know. We're checking it right
now, but we'll have you down in a

Just stay calm.

Give me Watson.

Number four just stopped in the pipe.

There's no answer. Let's just go.

You can call us on my cell phone.

Simon, I was just over in dispatch and a
call came in on 911.

A 10 -25 extortion at the Wilkinson
Tower.

It looks like the real thing and he
calls himself Galileo. Where is he?

Line six.

Look, you call over communications.

Have them start a trace.

Got it.

This is Captain Banks.

Between the 30th and 31st floors. I'm in
complete control.

There are four people on board.

If you don't do exactly as I say, it'll
drop.

Have we gotten in touch with the
security people over there yet? Got them

count four, and the guy's not lying.

The car's frozen, and none of the
equipment's responding.

What do you want?

What do we all want?

Love, security, and five million dollars
wired to a numbered account at the bank

of my choice.

Five million dollars is a lot of money.

Calm, too.

How long, Randy? 30 seconds.

Well, which back?

I'll get back to you on that.

For now, I want to demonstrate my
resolve.

Experiment in gravity.

No, wait!

He just dropped it five floors.

You all right?

You okay?

Ray? Not enough time.

You sure everybody's okay?

Yeah.

Nelson. Hey, Jim.

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it
to lunch.

Don't. Tell me you're on that elevator.

Yes, I am, actually.

Yeah, I was here getting a figurine
appraised for the university.

Chinese, third century.

Supposed to be a good luck charm. Good
luck?

Remember that breathing exercise you
taught me, the one to relieve stress?

Yeah. Start doing it. Why?

Some schmuck is threatening you to drop
that elevator car you're on unless he

gets five million bucks.

Well, that's, uh... That's interesting.

I assume that...

You're on top of this.

I mean, you're on top of this, right,
Jim?

Yeah, just sit tight. We'll be right
there.

Jim!

Packers! Yo!

I thought you were off duty.

Sandberg helped me with that church
problem. I'm here. All right.

Make sure Ray Patterson's great food to
the fraternity office. I can't believe

Sandberg's in the middle of this.

The boys started tagging around with me.
The worst that could happen with the

university was a paper cut.

Well, look at the upside.

Your police experience is going to help
him do this. Yeah.

Hey, Simon, is it me or is Cascade the
most dangerous city in America?

Tom Watson, head of building security.

Captain Simon Banks and Detective Jim
Ellison.

That's elevator four on the big monitor.

It's our boy. He called the PD to patch
him through. Patch him into the speaker.

Check the trace. On it.

Yeah, go ahead.

Bank of Commerce, St.

John's, Cayman Islands.

The account number is 6705649.

It's 12 -16.

You have until 1 p .m. to wire the $5
million. Once I receive confirmation,

car will be lowered to the lobby. If
not, it drops five floors every ten

minutes. After that, it drops the last
15 stories.

Can I make myself clear?

Thanks. The priest is no good. He's
forwarding the call to a dozen different

cell phones.

All right, this is Captain Simon Banks,
Cascade PD.

How the hell do you expect us to come up
with five million dollars in under an

hour? Actually, there's a source that's
very liquid and very close.

What would that be?

The man who owns the building.

Mel Wilkinson does not respond to
threats.

No, he will this time.

Take a good look at your monitor.

Caitlin? Who's she?

Wilkinson's daughter.

Let's get a hold of Wilkins. Pointless
detective.

He won't negotiate.

Back in 89, he was kidnapped in Mexico.

He stoned Walter to let him go.

Yeah, I remember that. The guy made the
cover of Newsweek. You know, his neck's

on the block.

He got an elevator car full of innocent
people, including my partner.

Yeah? Are you okay in there?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Good.

How the hell does he know you?

My father owns this building. What?

Wilkinson? We'd contract that to do all
of his repairs.

Guy controls half of downtown.

He should dance.

This is a good thing.

If your father owns the note on this
building, he'll have us out of here in

time, right?

Don't count on it.

Somehow he's overridden the onboard
braking system.

He's got control of that car. He's got
to be close.

Where's the system that controls the
elevator? Utility room, top floor.

All right, Bob, get a couple of men up
there on the double. Check it out. I'm

it, sir. I'm going to want this entire
building evacuated. Let's get all these

people out of here.

Riley. Look, Taggart, contact dispatch.

Let's get every available unit over here
for an office -by -office search. You

got it.

Somehow we've got to get into that shaft
for a walk.

Fill me in.

Situation's still static, sir. This
wouldn't have happened if you were doing

your job.

Mr. Wilkinson.

Captain Simon Banks, Cascade PD.

It's Detective Jim Ellison.

I understand you have some sort of
position about negotiating with

extortionists? It's simple.

I don't.

You haven't told him yet.

What? Sir, your daughter is on board
that elevator.

Caitlin?

Apparently she was visiting your office.

Why wasn't I told?

What's it going to be, Mr. Wilkinson?

Five million dollars or he drops that
car.

Perhaps you want to reconsider your
policy.

You've got 33 minutes, sir.

We haven't even begun to weigh our
options.

Mr. Wilkinson. Do you think I built this
tower by folding every time somebody

called my hand?

Men like him count on weakness.

Somebody who'll cut and run. Well, I'm
not made like that.

I have some set of stones. Yeah.

My stones are like elevators.

You drop them, they'll fall.

Empty on 40. No sign of him.

Copy that.

Let's move.

Something's wrong. This is taking too
long.

Where the hell are you? In the building
security office. And?

We're working on it.

Jeez, Jim.

Well, did he come up with the money yet?
Not so far.

You've got to be kidding me. I'm sorry,
Chief. The old man doesn't negotiate.

What is it?

I'm going to say something over the
speaker.

Okay.

You're going to talk to us in just a
second.

This is Detective Ellison from the
Cascade PD.

The department is doing everything in
its power to ensure your safety.

And to get you out as soon and safely as
we can.

Thank you.

I don't like this. How come the cops are
involved?

I know that your father's some kind of
hard -ass, but maybe you can get things

going a little faster if you just talk
to him.

He won't speak to me. Why not?

You wouldn't understand.

Well, try me.

I minored in psych.

I got married when I was 18.

And I made the mistake of picking my
husband without asking Daddy.

Well, that's not going to stop your
father from helping us, is it?

Let's just calm down here. I'm sure that
Kate left Father doing everything that

he can to get his daughter and the rest
of us out of here.

Let's just relax. This will all be over
soon.

It's here.

This is Captain Banks.

The first ten -minute deadline is about
to pass.

I've been in touch with my bank.

There's been zero movement on my
demands. Who do you think you're dealing

Well, we're having a little trouble
locating Mr.

Wilkinson. Is that right?

Well, he's standing next to you in a $3
,000 Savile Row tailor -made, $500

Brioni loafers, and if you check that
Rolex Presidential on his wrist, you can

see that his daughter has 31 minutes to
live.

That means he's got to be inside the
building.

There's got to be a way to keep him from
hearing and seeing.

We can cover the camera lenses and cut
the audio.

Do it.

Hey, are you listening to me?

Yeah, we're listening.

You've got 60 seconds to decide.

That ought to get my black eye.

And what about audio?

Now he can't hear a thought.

Great. All right, this guy has
penetrated the security of a downtown

building. The C is one of its elevators.
His calls have thus far evaded all of

our trace attempts.

He has a working knowledge of
electronics and international banking.

Exactly. And with a profile like that,
you should be able to find him. Damn it,

man, you have an offer on the table
right now in less than 30 seconds to

He's not going to murder four people.
How do you know that?

Because Mr.

Wilkinson's a dealmaker. He plays this
kind of poker ten times a day.

Him or not with his daughter's life.

If he was serious, he would have dropped
it. He wouldn't have given us a series

of ten -minute deadlines. The man's not
a closer.

Five.

Amber, can you hear me?

Yeah, yeah, I'm all right, I'm all
right.

God, my ankle.

Are you okay?

Hey,

if Mr.

Wilkinson's there, Caitlin's father, and
if you've got one ounce of human

compassion or feeling, you better start
paying attention to what's going on down

here. Because whoever has control of
this elevator is insane!

Good judge of character.

Now come on, quit messing around!

Come on, this isn't funny anymore!

She broke her ankle!

We've disabled the cameras in all the
halls in the other elevators except for

four. We're leaving that operational so
we can keep an eye on the hostages.

Guess who?

Banks! You want to try and blind me?
Fine.

You want to search the whole building?
Go ahead.

But understand this.

I'm Galileo. I wrote the book on falling
bodies.

Sir, with all due respect, I don't think
this guy's going to... We're going to

do everything we can to get those people
out. But in the meantime, I locate that

money.

Well, else what?

I drop it down to the media and the
world finds out that Mr. Newsweek Hero

just an empty suit who let his own
daughter die.

What the hell is the matter with him?

Well, Mr. Wilkinson, I'll tell you.

That's his friend in there.

And if you cared half as much for your
daughter, maybe this whole thing would

over.

Come on! This isn't funny anymore!

Come on!

You were right. He's got devices on each
of the emergency brakes. Looks like

they're set with remote antennas.

Can't we just cut the wires and disable
the damn thing? Not easily.

The leads are in some kind of housing.

Even if we could cut through one of the
wires, this clown Galileo would pick up

the power loss and release the other
brakes.

Yeah, and I doubt if one functioning
brake would be enough to keep that car

Well, we can't take him out through the
roof. He'll just drop the car.

Not if it can't fall.

What? He can't see or hear us, right?
No, we're secure.

So all he sees is what the surveillance
cameras show.

Right.

There are no videos in the elevator
shaft, right?

So that area's blind to him.

What if I go downstairs and come up on
elevator three or bring one of the SWAT

guys who's a welder? We literally fuse
the car to the support shafts, right?

So this way, if he releases the brake,
the car's not going to drop.

We're for sure. Make it happen.

Look, I don't know what went wrong
between you and your dad, but maybe you

just talk to him.

You don't know him.

To Malcolm Wilkinson, it's never
about...

The deal. It's the principle of the
thing.

Yeah, but how come we gotta pay the
price?

I got a wife and four kids.

Yeah, and I got a 12 -year -old
daughter.

Look, honey, why don't you just reason
with him?

He won't listen to me.

You don't understand.

The man that I married worked for my
father.

He got fired. Now we're broke.

I tried to see my father four times in
the past two weeks.

I couldn't even get past reception.

I tried again today after I went on this
modeling call.

I didn't get it.

I'm in real trouble now.

What do you mean?

I'm pregnant.

Hello?

Did you hear that? She's pregnant.

Did you hear that, Mr. Wilkinson?

What about it?

Don't take this position lightly.

I mean, there isn't a person of means in
the world today who isn't a target.

Somebody has to draw the line.

Somebody has to say, enough.

I'm not going to kowtow to terror.

Pardon me, sir.

That's a decision you can make for
yourself.

But now your daughter is at risk, along
with three other innocent people.

Four, if you count your grandchild.

and keep them as wide as you can.

You might be able to hear us on the mic
inside of the hostage car.

Yeah? How are you holding up?

Nothing better.

I think we've all been better.

We're going to try and weld the brakes.

This guy's blind except for the camera
in your car. Stay alert, Rick.

Gotcha.

No, man. What?

What was that?

I didn't hear anything.

Wait a minute. I'm serious, man.
Somebody help me.

Yeah, the guy's listening in, so make
some noise. We just need a few minutes.

Like what?

Jim.

How long is this going to take?

I don't know, sir. I've never done this
before.

Hey, check this out.

You guys.

What? I need to break up the party, but
how much time we got?

We got about ten minutes before the next
one.

God, I can't take another drop.

You have got to plead with your father.

Just call him.

This is Captain Banks.

I guess you people just don't listen.

I told you no rescue attempt.

Hey, boys, down there in the shaft,
check the top of the car.

There's no way you can get them out.

Yeah, me talk to him.

He says to check the roof of car four.

I'll take her up one.

He's got the escape hatch rigged with
C4.

It's hidden under a support girder.
You've got to alert Taggart.

Welding idea was a few. What was that?

I've got more than one way to drop that
car.

Tell the tank miner to open the
briefcase.

If he doesn't, I'll blow it all right
now.

Blair, this is Simon. He wants you to
open the briefcase.

Hey, Simon, I don't think that's such a
good idea, man. Blair, we have no

choice. You have to open it.

That's heavy.

Good thoughts.

I think you people understand the
gravity of the situation.

Jim, are you all right?

Yeah, but I think I'm going to pass on
that tube.

Oh, God.

It hurts so much.

Oh, my God.

This guy has got to be using elevator
motor control.

I thought your people checked the
utility room.

Dr. Brown.

Sir? Get back to that utility room on
40.

Check it again.

Captain Banks.

Talk to me, Brown. He was here.

We found the cable he used to tap into
the security system.

Any other sign of it? No, sir.

All right.

I want that in. Entire place dusted for
prints.

Find me something I can use.

Let's see if we can figure out who this
guy is.

Yes, sir.

You catch all that, Jim?

Yeah. Meet you on 15.

Right. Let's go.

Captain Banks.

I want to go with you.

I'm sorry, sir. This is a police matter.

Please.

I instructed my staff to wire the money.

Caitlin's in there. I want to help.

All right, sir, I'll tell you what you
do.

Now, from the way this guy described
you, he is obviously somebody close.

Now, I need you to go back and check
your records.

Anybody that worked for you who might
hold a grudge.

Any security cameras or mics on this
floor? Not anymore. We're clean here.

Hey, we're welcome.

Check in with ex -employees who might
have something against him. Yeah, but I

could take years.

Had another look at that video he made
of the devices he has on the brakes.

They're widened into buildings. Same
with the remote for the bomb on the

Well, can't we cut the power to the
entire building?

Yeah, but we lose the security cameras.

But he won't be able to drop the car.

What about the briefcase bomb?

It won't work with that.

Sandberg said there's an onboard
battery.

Look, we gotta come up with something
quick, guys. That next drop is coming up

fast. What about the money?

You ever try to do a bank wire transfer?
It's in the works. It's just going to

take time. Power cuts are best moved.

What do you think, Jim?

Jim!

Jim! What is it?

You guys stay here. Get it set up.

Got it.

There's somebody on one of the upper
floors.

Sounds like a power drill.

No way.

We had all those floors checked.

when I did this.

Cut the power.

Oh, my God.

What happened?

They must have cut the power.

Hey, do you have a flashlight in your
toolbox?

Yeah, yeah.

We're coming up on another deadline
here, so let's get ready, all right?

this going to stop?

Hold on. Hold on.

Okay.

Three.

Hang on.

Two.

One.

Nothing happened.

They must have stopped it.

Whatever he did to the brakes must have
got cut when they pulled the power.

Yes! We're gonna get out of here!

Oh, God.

Looks like you called it, man.

Come on, man.

What's wrong?

That's what's the matter.

Simon. Yoko.

I don't like this.

What do you mean?

Power cut Galileo.

He's playing this whole thing
meticulously.

He's been one step ahead of us the whole
time.

He's even tapped into the building's
electrical system.

Well, so what do you think? He wanted us
to cut the power?

I don't know.

Who's left on the call?

We haven't.

Look, Jimmy, if it's not the five mil,
then what the hell does he want?

When I find out, he'll be the first to
know.

Dad, tell him to use the one at
corporate headquarters.

Come on, Mr. Wilkinson.

Think. You said you had enemies, people
who threatened you before. Show me a CEO

who doesn't.

I've got 62 companies worldwide, maybe
20 ,000 employees.

Every time one of them gets the boot for
non -performance, I can get harassed.

All right, what about your daughter?

What about her?

She's headstrong.

I've never been able to tell her a
thing.

I wonder where she gets that from.

She hasn't listened to me since her
mother died.

Maybe she needs you to listen to her.

Simon, I got a partial print off the
elevator cable.

The guy had no record, so we had a
picture faxed over from DMV.

The guy's name is Frank Rachins.

What?

Damn it.

I should have seen this coming.

Why, do you know this guy?

Rachins?

He's the arrogant little bastard my
daughter married.

Used to work in my semiconductor
division. I caught him stealing, so I

him. All right. All right. We need an
angle. How do we get to it? Here's a

younger brother, Ronnie.

Decent kid.

Still works for me somewhere.

Call personnel.

He's okay.

Frank. What?

With the power cut, we can't use the
building's video.

You think Caitlin's all right? You knew
we'd be blind when they cut the juice.

Yeah, but her inside there with that
suitcase ticking away just makes me

nervous. Everything's going perfectly.

We jacked the elevator so they'd cut the
power.

Now the vault alarm's dead and I've
killed the backup.

But, Frank... What?

You're getting scared on me, little
brother. No, Frank, I'm just worried,

all. I'm just worried. It's foolproof.

We set the charge.

To go at the same time the bomb blows.

By the time they pick up all the pieces,
we're out of here.

After we get Caitlin out, right?

When are you going to make the phone
call to tell them we're going to release

the hostages?

Well, there's been a change in plans.

We're not releasing any hostages.

What?

Frank, I'm telling you, he talked about
it. Not even Caitlin?

She's your wife, Frank.

Yeah, well, you should have thought of
that before you two did the deed.

Frank, what are you talking about?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Well, Frank, come on. You've been doing
my old lady.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, come on. You've been ignoring her
for months, Frank.

The only reason why you married her was
to get close to her father.

A lot of good that did, right?

She showed him a little respect, Frank.
What, like you, Ronnie? Always sucking

up to the boss.

What were you thinking, Caitlin?

Things didn't work out at the company?

Maybe you'd live off her modeling
career? But guess what?

That's over.

She's pregnant.

What?

She's having a kid.

And it's not mine, little brother.

So it has to be yours.

Okay, okay.

Wait a minute, Frank.

Wait a minute.

I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for
you dragging me into this.

If Keelan's going to have a baby, well,
it's all the more reason for you to let

her out. Just get her out of there.

Frank.

There's a certain logic to that.

Well, I don't need her anymore.

And I sure as hell don't need you.

Come on, Frank!

I just heard shots fired above me. He's
somewhere between you and the top floor.

Listen, Jim, we also have a suspect.

His name is Frank Rations.

Wilkinson's son -in -law.

Some kind of wirehead knows computers.

According to his personnel record, he
also has a working use of munitions.

You gonna want me to send him back up?

Negative. He's got some kind of
detonator.

I'm better off taking him home.

I don't know. There's a timer with a lot
of wires and a whole bunch of C4, Joel.

I have no idea what to do. Don't even
try to get near it.

What the hell does it matter if the car
doesn't drop?

We're going to wind up in the next time
zone anyhow.

Please let us out.

Let me talk to him.

Blair, it's Simon.

Hey, Simon. Yeah? The guy we're looking
for is Caitlin's husband.

What do you want me to do?

Find out if she knows something. She
said they were strapped for cash because

was out of work. Maybe this is some sort
of wacko plan to get back at Daddy.

Come on, you think so?

Hell, man, I don't know. I mean, what's
he going to do, blow her up, too?

Check her out.

There's less than six minutes left,
okay?

I think it's best that I just leave it
alone.

When's he gonna let you off?

What? Your husband.

I don't know where you're going with
this, but my husband doesn't have...

Caitlin, think about it. He hasn't
called here in over 20 minutes, and

getting pretty close to another
splashdown. Now, I don't know what the

two got going on here, but he is gonna
let you off, right?

He's gonna shut that thing off. He
promised me. How could you do this?

I told you he's going to stop it. When?

When is he going to shut this off,
Caitlin? Because we don't even know if

hear us anymore.

I didn't want any of this.

Frank said it was all for the baby.
There was no other way with my father.

Yeah?

Speak of the devil.

Talk to him.

Danny? Katie?

I heard about you being pregnant
tonight.

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

I shouldn't have judged you.

It's just that I had a feeling. I always
had a feeling about Frank.

Something about him was wrong.

to lose you.

I'm so sorry, Daddy.

You were right about Frank. Ronnie is
the one that cares about me.

And now Frank's got him involved in
this, too.

This is all great, Caitlin, but we don't
have time for this. Where is he?

The exchange.

I couldn't let him. I'm sure he built
me.

Jim, number 37 -4. That's the Boolean
exchange.

Copy that.

Door's bolted from the other side.

353. What the hell are we going to do?

What are you doing, babe? I'm just
putting this flashlight at the ground

What are you doing?

Metal floor.

Do you have anything in that box that'll
cut through metal? A blowtorch? Sure.

Why? What are you going to do?

I'm going to cut a hole in the bottom of
the elevator.

That's what I'm going to do. I'm going
to drop the bomb out. It's 15 stories.

Boom. It's going to be too far away to
hurt any of us. It depends on the size

the bomb. The size of the bomb, the
velocity of the explosion, the rate of

fall, whether or not Mercury is in
retrograde for crying out loud. But to

you the truth right now, none of that
really matters. Because we are only

minutes away from redecorating 10
stories of this elevator.

Come on, get that thing going.

Give me those glasses, please.

Come on, three minutes.

There, let me have that.

Two summers at a sheet metal plant.

Fastest thoughts of my crew.

Nothing personal.

2 .5.

Ease it down.

Do it.

So it was never about the elevator. Just
a diversion.

Why Galileo?

Because he was a man like me.

Gifted. A visionary among smaller men.

Censored for challenging the established
order.

My history is a little rusty, but wasn't
Galileo known for dropping the ball?

I should do it.

Get up and put your hands behind your
back. Get back!

He's got a remote detonator!

Drop it!

No, he'll blow it! Drop it!

You've been with your wife on the
elevator.

There's more than one way to get her
divorced.

I'll help you off the building and see
how fast you hit the ground.

All right.

Yes.

All right.

Happy minute. Get rid of it.

Get back.

All right, folks. This way out.

Let's go.

Out of the box we left.

Well, you know that parachute ride down
at the Passgate Pier? Yeah.

Try it blindfolded with a bomb in your
lap and three hysterical people hanging

on to you.

Yes, sir.

Here we come out.

Daddy, I'm so sorry.

Not me.

I got your back now.

Take care of yourself.

Yeah, you too.

You take care of that baby.

You'll have to come with me.

Hey, Chief. The figurine you brought
here to have it appraised. Oh, yeah.

Ringtoad Dynasty. 13th century BC. Some
kind of good luck charm.

How are you going to bring it back up to
have it reappraised?

Only this time, take a stand.

Good job,

gents.
