Original subtitles

Word up!

- Eddie. - Big day.

You study hard?

What's that thing called?

Yeah, yeah, the long metal thing.

Loud noises?

Gun!

See? Why do we have to requalify?

Hey, hey.

Donna.

Edward.

You guys ready to get your butts kicked?

Your team's playing the bad guys?

Yeah.

Let me get this right -- Team Three against Team One?

Yeah, that's right.

Team Three against Team One.

Yeah, go suit up.

- And uh... - What's going on?

Commander Holleran wants to see you in the briefing room.

- Okay. - I'll see you out there.

It's not what we talked about.

And if you knew it was going this way,

you could have told me before today, commander.

Coulda told you what? What's going on?

We've got somebody else to do your team's

psychological evaluation this year.

What do you mean? The boss does the psych eval.

We need someone more objective.

Objective?

Your team's had a lot of tough calls.

That's the job.

Twice as many traumatic calls as any other team.

We need to see if there any weak links,

stress fractures...

Excuse me?

I'm gonna be in the room, Eddie.

Right, commander?

You'll observe.

Observe?

Donna Sabine's gonna run your team

through tactical requalification.

I can drill my own team.

She's gonna run you through the shoot house,

test your team skills,

and then break you down individually.

Okay, what the hell's going on?

Thank you, commander. Come on.

You knew about this.

Just take it easy.

We've got nothing to worry about.

Okay, you got 90 seconds upon entry to clear the building.

90 seconds?

Yeah.

Does that worry you, Spike?

Spending a little too much time in the truck?

No, I mean 90 seconds --

I'm gonna have to bring a book or a magazine or something.

All right, you got any more surprises for us?

Of course. Did you think this was a pony ride?

Let's do it.

Okay, five minutes. Gear up, figure out a tac plan.

Guys, 90 seconds?

Spike, that's what the cross-training's for.

The standard test's three minutes.

What's going on? Why is Donna running this?

Yeah, why do we got outsiders running the psych test?

- Yeah. - It's a good question.

Do you know who's doing it?

Parker time and place. Let's focus.

Okay, they're gonna be lookin' for two entry teams,

we are gonna give them three.

They're gonna be glued to the doors,

we're gonna take the windows.

So Spike, Wordy, black Bravo Two;

Jules, Sam, black Bravo One.

We'll go in with hooks.

The boss and I'll take the back door.

We need you guys to clear and cover our entry.

Copy that.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast...

Fast is lethal!

Let's set the hooks.

Room by room and watch your blind spots!

We'll link up second floor.

Blocks on point, cover with rifles!

Sam, Jules, let's go!

Bravo two, hard entry! More grenades!

Hit 'em hard and smoke 'em out!

Let's go!

Major wing, eyes left on my point!

Sam, Wordy, cover us!

They're gonna be stacked at the door!

Go, go, go, go! Let's go!

Let's show 'em how it's done!

Ungh!

One down! Sam's on his way!

Twenty seconds from entry!

Spike, cover me from the window!

Sam, we are in position.

Sam, talk to us.

There's one on the door.

Two down!

Number three down!

40 seconds left!

Jules, basement.

Stay alert! Two targets left!

Flash bang and cover fire?

I don't like the percentages.

Who's first?

Listen, uh...

Second thoughts?

No.

You mean yes.

We're in!

Team One!

He's shooting through the roof -- your floor!

You're worried about my reputation.

There's got to be a good reason--

I know.

There's got to be a good reason to break up a team.

Sam!

No joy!

I see him! I got him!

Wordy, last target's yours!

Gun!

Aw!

Cut the sound!

Three seconds left. Nice.

Who was that?

That was me.

I got your back, buddy!

Let's go, guys.

Good work, everyone!

Yeah! Team One!

I had you pinned.

For about two seconds!

Well, an extra set of eyes on the roof, you would have seen the shooter.

It was a risky call to split the team in three.

- You gotta do what you gotta do. - Good job, guys!

Hey.

That was awesome, you guys!

Okay, yup, got it.

Hey, Winnie, do you know who it is?

Okay.

Wordy, you're up - psych eval.

I'm coming with ya.

So, who's it gonna be?

Larry Toth?

Are you kidding me?

Why? You know him?

Boss, you know who it was gonna be?

Holleran told me when you walked in, Eddie, yeah.

This was supposed to be a routine requalify.

Who's Toth?

Military psychologist.

- He breaks up teams. - He does not break up teams.

Oh, come on.

He's a specialist in team psychology.

We've had some tough calls.

And you're on board with this?

Like I said, Eddie,

I didn't know it was toth before this morning.

I'm gonna be in the room with you.

We got nothing to worry about, all right?

Yeah.

- You ready? - Ready.

Do the next drill?

Doctor Toth.

Oh, you're Sergeant Parker.

Yes, sir. This is Kevin Wordsworth.

People call me Wordy.

Nickname. Nice. Means you're liked.

Wordy, why don't you have a seat over here?

What's this?

Polygraph.

I can see that. What for?

A lie detector?

Well, think of it as a stress detector.

That's pretty old school.

Digital detectors have no charm,

and these two have been with me for a long time.

Wordy, do you mind? Raise your arms, would you?

Yup.

The other one's for you, sergeant.

Really.

I'll monitor your reactions as I talk to your team.

Have a seat.

Let's go! Let's go! Go, go!

How'd they do in the CQB?

They did great. Individual testing's next.

Good.

I was on this team when Jules was sidelined.

They've been through a lot,

but it doesn't get much better than them.

I'm not the one who ordered the outside psych evaluation.

What do you mean?

Just what I said...

I wasn't the one who ordered it.

Who did?

We have a baseline.

Great.

We're gonna do some word association.

Mm-hmm.

First word that comes to you, no thinking.

Sure.

And I'm going to throw in some other questions.

Again, no thinking.

No thinkin', no problem.

- Orange? - Citrus.

- Shampoo? - Conditioner.

- Coffee? - Double double.

What'd you have for breakfast this morning?

Uh...

Coffee?

A double double. I mean, yeah.

What else?

Uh, what do you mean?

For breakfast.

You seem a little distracted.

Maybe I need another coffee.

Do you sometimes find it hard to concentrate?

No.

Gun range scores,

your practice records.

Your marksmanship is declining.

Could we stick to the psych eval?

That's what we're doing.

I haven't had as much time to shoot.

You've been putting in more time on the range.

Wordy's strength is entry.

He meets his marksmanship requirements.

- A team is the... - Sum of its parts.

Yes, I know that, sergeant.

Is that your signature?

Yeah.

And is that your signature?

Yeah.

It's getting smaller.

Huh.

Have any simple manual tasks become more of a challenge?

No.

Do you find yourself unaccountably impatient or irritable?

No.

Do you sometimes have trouble remembering ordinary words?

When was the last time you had a full medical?

My last medical was fine.

When was it?

Two years ago.

Maybe three.

I'd like you to raise your hands like this for me.

Jeez, what are you doing?

You're here to observe, sergeant.

Are you aware that you raised your left hand

faster than your right hand?

No.

Any sleep disorders, insomnia?

No!

You're thinking.

Let's try that again.

- Roses? - Uh, bouquet.

- Wine. - Bottle.

Your hands.

Any sleep disorders?

No.

Lower your arms.

How do you explain your trouble with concentration,

your unsteady hands,

your slower cognitive response?

I sleep fine. I'm tired.

I've have a two- and-a-half-year-old.

I mean...

Let's try that again.

You're a little tired because...

Because Ally keeps waking us up in the middle of the night.

Again, because...

Because sometimes it takes a while to get to sleep!

Why? Things going through your mind?

Yeah, I guess.

About work?

- Yeah, maybe. - Maybe?

Look, it's nothing. It's just...

It's Shel, it's...

It's the girls. It's just money.

That's a lot to cope with --

a job, three kids, a mortgage.

Yeah, it is.

But that's not really what concerns me.

You want to know what concerns me?

Raise your arms again.

This job is the only thing I know how to do.

Raise your arms.

So what did Holleran tell ya?

Nothin'.

Just talking results and the CQB.

What else?

Hold on.

Yup.

I'll send him up.

Spike, you're up!

You're not telling me something.

You've been edgy all day.

Something you're not telling me?

What's up with him?

He's been like that all week.

Do you know why?

No.

What is it?

Sophie gave him an ultimatum.

With the baby coming, he's gotta make a choice

between S.R.U. and the family.

Word, how'd it go?

Wordy!

- What? - How'd it go?

Fine.

Commander.

What're you doing here, Ed?

We need to talk.

- Rain? - Rainbow.

- Cloud. - Silver.

- Sky? - The limit.

- Freedom? - Feminine supplies.

- Girlfriend. - Babycakes.

Bomb.

Bomb?

Job.

Critical incident 1137.

Am I supposed to word associate that?

Multiple bombs across the city.

You want to tell me about it?

You got the file. You got the transcript.

You got the voice recording.

I've got the facts.

It's your experience of them I need.

1:37: Officer Scarlatti directs Officer Lou Young

to approach third bomb.

Scarlatti, 1:43: "Okay, Lou,

three garbage bags.

Anything rigged if they move?"

Okay, Lou, you said three garbage bags.

Anything rigged if they move?

No visible booby traps, no wiring.

Okay, that's good.

So you get those garbage bags out of the way, okay?

Take it real slow.

Make sure they don't touch the device.

Okay.

I have 360 access to the device.

Guys...

What is it?

Lou?

I think I just stepped on a landmine.

The bomb was booby trapped with a CR-38.

That's a Russian bounding mine.

And then what happened?

Why are we doing this?

Scarlatti, 2:52:

"Why is everyone standing around?

Let's go!"

Why are you all just standing there?

Let's go!

I said we need a shield. We need water, okay?

We're gonna do a weight transfer!

Spike.

Yeah, buddy? Lou?

It's gonna be okay.

Lou?

He thought that trying the weight transfer

would, uh, take us both down.

So, uh...

But you didn't think so?

You're not over it.

What do you think, hmm? What's the machine telling you?

I'm sorry, but with all due respect,

what's the point?

Huh? Boss?

Doc.

You feel guilty?

Yeah, I feel guilty!

How do you feel now when you get a bomb call?

Larry, stop it.

We're all open to talkin' here,

but your picking at scabs.

Sergeant, keep your comments to yourself!

This is emotional manipulation!

You lost a partner.

You lost a best friend too, right?

Let me ask you this:

You lose your best friend. It's 3:00 in the afternoon,

how do you spend the rest of your day?

We debriefed.

- After that. - That's personal.

How well you handle this job is personal.

I went home.

Mikey!

Che successo?

Mikey!

You live with your mother?

I live with my parents.

Pa!

I got it! I got it.

Ach.

Basta!

I got it, ma.

Basta!

Every day this is my life;

waiting for the phone to ring,

the officer at the door, huh?

You bring this into our house.

Pa, I don't think now is the time, okay?

Sit down. Please, sit down!

Everyday you go out there and you play the hero.

Play?

What, you think this is a game?

Today your friend dies.

Tomorrow my son dies.

One day we all die, okay?!

Bah!

At least you try and make it mean something!

Pa!

You patch things up with your father?

- No. - Why not?

- 'Cause he won't. - Why?

He's sick.

Sick?

He's dying.

Spike...

That's why he won't patch things up?

No, he won't patch things up until I quit this job,

until I quit S.R.U.

Look, we've always run on transparency here.

- No politics, no-- - Ed!

If you're gunning to take my team apart

then you owe me a reason why.

This is not just about you.

Then who's it about?

You are out of line.

Sir, you are not answering the question.

I told you, your team is--

Ed!

Winnie, not now!

Ed, it's Sophie. She just went into labour.

Soph, I'm sorry.

I was in the shoot house. I missed the calls.

Look, how far apart?

Okay, how long?

Okay, no, Sophie, of course I'm coming.

Okay. Bye. I love you.

Ed?

You heard that, right? My wife's in labour.

That's great, but I can't let you go.

I'm going to requalify later.

Without you being here, today's tests are meaningless.

That makes no sense.

This is not about individual performance.

This is about the fabric of the team.

What are you saying?

The team's configuration's being tested.

So we reschedule!

Dr. Toth has a limited window of availability.

Great. Get somebody else!

It can't be done.

And if you don't requalify,

I am not authorized to clear Team One for duty.

She just started labour, right?

About an hour ago.

Well, you'll be there in plenty of time.

We'll get you in and out, one hour.

Okay.

Okay?

One hour and I'm done.

I need to establish a baseline for you.

Tell me three truths and a lie in that order.

My name is Julianna Callaghan.

I'm 36.

I'm from Medicine Hat, Alberta,

and I love quilting.

Thank you, Julianna.

Now some word association.

Stream of consciousness.

- That's right. - That's left.

You started without me.

Try to keep up.

- Country? - Horizon.

- Sky? - Sunrise.

- Bedtime? - Story.

Sam Braddock.

What do you wanna know?

My name is Sam Braddock.

I have two sisters.

I served in the military.

I like the mellow sounds of easy rock.

Good.

Word association.

- Friend. - Trust.

- Hand? - Touch.

- Grip? - Seize.

Agh!

Ah! Wordy!

Come on!

Let's go, man!

It'd like to pick up on the sensitive circumstances of your departure

from the Special Operations Forces in Afghanistan.

I fired the fatal shot during an incident of friendly fire.

I haven't made a secret of it.

I see Sam's application into Team One was processed quickly.

He was fast-tracked, yes.

S.R.U. teams generally select their new members as a group.

I gather the decision in Sam's case was more...

top down?

That's right.

How did the team respond to that?

Sam had our full support.

Why don't you just tase his ass?

Muscle spasm. He'll pull the trigger.

So we go in hard tactical.

There's something I need you to do.

All right, see these stairs here?

That's where we came in, right?

I need you to make a reverse entry.

Go across this hallway. These doors here?

I need you to go through them.

Now be careful, because that is a big road.

I want you to cross it.

I want you to make an entry into this Timmy's.

I'll have a double double.

- Jules? - Cream, no sugar.

- Spike? - No, I'm good.

And we responded with courtesy and professionalism.

Why did your father have to intervene personally

to facilitate your entry?

Ask my father.

Ask Commander Holleran. It was between them.

It was General Braddock who forced him here

after leaving Special Ops under a cloud?

There was no cloud,

and I wasn't forced.

The Strategic Response Unit:

Connect, respect, protect;

talk before tactics.

A curious career choice for a military man.

Darren Kovacs.

Ex-hockey player back from Afghanistan

decides to protect the Godwin Coliseum

from demolition single-handed.

This is something that we can work through.

You just have to...

You just have to trust that we can get through this, okay?

I'm a good soldier.

I needed you to know that.

Oh, I know that. Buddy, I...

You just gotta stay with me, okay?

Please, stay with me.

See you on the other side.

Why did you do that?

He wasn't gonna shoot.

We could have stuck it out.

Huh?!

You weren't gonna shoot, were you?

He wasn't gonna shoot.

He wasn't gonna shoot!

Did he say he was quitting?

Yes, he did say he was quitting,

but everybody has those days.

We showed that he was wrong and that he belonged.

We never doubted that.

Did you fight to keep him close for personal reasons?

Say what you're saying, doc.

3:02 Wordy.

3:08, Spike. Not bad.

Yeah, those last ten seconds weren't mine!

What're you talking about, Spike?

Nothing, Ed.

- Spike? - Nothing.

What?

Would it have killed ya, Word?

I was right there, three feet away.

What do you mean? I helped you over.

Yeah, you thought about it a good long time first.

It's individual scores.

I still helped you over the top of that climb.

First you give me this

and then you think about helping me while we're on the clock.

- Hey, come on. - How'd I give you that?

I didn't even touch you!

What the hell are you worried about anyway?

You're gonna be fine.

Spike! It's true.

CSIS wants you, everybody wants you.

You can pick up and leave whenever you want.

I got one place where I belong and that's here.

I don't have your choices. I've got a family!

Okay, look. Nobody's going anywhere.

You okay?

Yeah.

I don't think it's right they're making you stay.

All right, what's next. Let's get through this.

- Sorry. - Yeah, whatever.

Have you ever witnessed any friction within the team?

All families have friction.

Is this a family or a SWAT team?

Critical incident 1077.

Knife call. Two women, alleged infidelity.

Callaghan, 11:06:

"Boss, threat is low. I can do this."

"Boss, the threat is low.

I can do this. I see access."

"She want's the truth.

She's responding. Give me a shot."

It was a risk either way.

I had eyes in. There was time to get in.

The knife was down.

And then the hostage escalated!

Which she wouldn't have if we'd already gone in.

"11:09 a.m. Alpha one and two explosive entry

through Black Charlie Three."

I had a connection!

She did not need to be subdued by force!

"Subject was lying prone on the floor,

a knife wound to the chest."

We know, Jules, we were there.

"11:17: Subject in critical condition taken to hospital."

We were there.

It was a tough call.

It was tough because...

We were making split-second decisions

and there was no easy right or wrong.

And because in the midst of all this

you and Jules Callaghan were involved.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

My personal notes on my team are confidential.

Technically, no. They're not patients.

Yes, we were seeing each other.

Two weeks after that argument, Callaghan was shot.

The two of you had been working together.

Where is he?

It's a decoy! Fall back!

Fall back now! Take cover!

Officer down! Officer down!

Medic, come now!

Jules has been hit!

Stay with me, Jules.

Stay with me.

She was shot by a sniper half a mile away.

That would have happened whether I was there or not.

How did it feel seeing her shot?

Not great.

I should have protected you.

Is that when you knew Sam Braddock

and Jules Callaghan were romantically involved?

When Jules was ready to return the team,

their relationship was over.

Did you know the risk to the team?

Yes, I knew the risk to the team.

That's why I broke it off.

Listen, I worked my ass off to earn a spot on Team One,

and I worked twice as hard to get it back.

Would you have continued the relationship secretly if you could?

Yes.

There's a reason that's against S.R.U. policy;

it puts your teammates in danger.

But it makes no difference because it's over.

We're colleagues now, that is it.

The priority of life code -- you're familiar with it?

Yes, I'm familiar with it.

You rescue hostages first.

Then officers, then subjects.

Would you break the priority of life code

to save the life of Sam Braddock?

How'd it go?

Not good.

Me neither.

He gave me a hard time because of you.

Yeah.

They have us under a microscope

just in case we treat each other any different.

What's it gonna take, a chaperone?

That's the thing, Sam, it's not gonna go away.

Did you know about the relationship before Jules was shot?

You knowingly put them in danger.

That relationship is over.

The mere mention of each other's name triggers stress reactions.

You know what? You read a lot into stress reactions.

Braddock and Callaghan clearly still have feelings for each other.

Yes, of some kind.

Which they value, it seems, more than their own team's security.

They both have cause to be expelled from S.R.U.,

as do you... for turning a blind eye.

You getting a kick out of this, aren't you, doc?

I save lives, my way.

It's your way that seems to be the problem.

Ed Lane, team leader,

born in Scarborough.

We love Doctor Toth.

Think you might have a problem with your machine there, doc.

Humour's an effective way to deflect apprehension or anxiety.

Very perceptive.

Mind if I call you Larry?

Sure.

How's your home life?

Well, Larry, my wife is in labour

and I'm here, so you tell me.

Eddie.

Eddie, what are you doing here? You gotta go.

The sooner I get this done, the sooner I get there.

Doc, he's gotta go.

Ed,

that says a lot -- your choice to stay here.

Thanks. I won't keep you long.

Word association, no thinking.

- Scorpio. - Solution.

Ready!

Three, one, two, four!

- Apple. - Core.

And one, four, three, two!

- Pancake. - Syrup.

Three, one, three, two!

- Bull's eye. - Brain stem.

Four, two, three, one!

Let me see.

It was jammed.

Go again.

Three, two, four, one!

You're good.

- Whipped cream. - Cherry.

Goran Tomasic.

Had it coming.

His son, Petar,

what did he have coming?

Pop, pop, pop, don't, don't!

Hey, hey, easy, easy.

Scorpio.

Hey, hey, hey! Runner!

Ed, the boy!

Jackson Barcliffe, recovered addict.

Wrong place, wrong time...

He put himself in the line of fire

to save an undercover cop.

All the lives you can't save...

What do you do with the guilt?

EMT! Get me an EMT!

All those times your best wasn't good enough?

I've got you, buddy. I got you.

The paramedics are just around the corner.

I got you. You're gonna be okay.

Ella, Ella...

Who's Ella? Who's Ella, Jackson?

Jackson?

All the times you were too late?

Ed, you're a sniper.

I know you can regulate your breath and heart rate,

mask your responses,

but your skin conductivity is telling another story.

Even heroes crack.

Let's talk about your mentor, Danny.

All I see are the ghosts

and I can't take it any more.

Eddie...

Please.

Please help me...

Pull the plug.

Okay, Wordy.

No!

Okay?

I get it.

You know what, buddy?

Every time...

Every time I look at a damn scope,

I see a kid run across,

I see a spray of blood,

And you know what else, Danny?

You know what else I see?

All the calls we didn't get to in time.

You're not the only one who sees ghosts, Danny.

And I gotta tell you,

I don't know where to put 'em anymore either.

Eddie, please, no.

You taught me everything I know.

You made me who I am, Danny.

You can't... You can't tell me...

that this is how it ends.

You can't.

Give me the gun.

No!

No.

It's gonna be okay.

Where are you going with this one, doc?

Ed saved Danny's life.

When things get tough at work, where do you turn?

I count on my team.

Where do you turn if it's something

you can't share with the team?

My family.

Family keeps you grounded.

You can't be the kind of cop you have to be

if you're not grounded.

Your family knows you, warts and all;

they're there for you.

But what gets you through the tough calls, Ed?

The lives you couldn't save,

the people you had to kill,

the guilt?

My family.

So how are coping with them gone?

How do you know that?

Beside the point.

I work twelve hour shifts.

I train 14 hours a week on top of that

so that I don't cost somebody a life,

so I don't let my team down.

And you're saying what?

That I am not a good enough cop

because I am not more of a family man, is that it?

I don't care what kind of family man you are.

I care whether or not you can cope with the job,

for your team's sake.

It's a question of balance.

Of balance?!

You try telling that to a guy with a gun to his head,

to a kid on a ledge.

What do you want me to say here?

"Sorry about your luck, I gotta get home for dinner?"

- Is that it? - I get that.

That's good.

Now you tell Holleran to stay out of my family life.

It's not Commander Holleran.

Greg?

How did he know that Sophie left me?

How'd he know about that?

I didn't trust myself to be objective, Eddie,

as a colleague or as a friend,

for the sake of the team.

For the sake of the team?

As a friend?

Eddie.

Eddie, you tell me.

You tell me. You said it yourself.

What should I do when there's lives on the line?

You know what?

Gentlemen...

I got a baby I gotta meet.

Eddie.

Ed!

Nothin' to say right now, boss. I gotta go.

What's going on?

Okay, I'm done.

Not an easy process.

You could say that.

Holleran didn't bring him in.

I'm sure he was gonna tell you that.

We know it was the boss.

He was just doing what he thinks is best for the team.

What are we supposed to do now?

You go home.

We'll let you know how this shakes out.

I needed an objective point of view.

I needed fresh eyes on my people.

I didn't need you to break 'em down.

Your instinct was right.

There are fault lines running all through this team.
