All language subtitles for Carter.2019.S02E10.HDTV.English

Charlie Carter, you can walk in here
and derail my investigation,

but the bottom line is,

I spell murder with an "M"...

just like the next guy!

Stop.

- What was that?
- Acting.

I don't want you acting.

I want you to live it.

I want you to love it!

- I want you to feel it!
- Yes.

You are playing
Detective Sneeps Sneepkins.

He was?...

I never saw the show.

- What?
- I said I never saw the show man.

What the frigs Martin!

He was Harley's nemesis
on every season of "Call Carter"?

- And a fan favorite I might add.
- I only took drama

so I didn't have to do
the mandatory gym course.

Okay my heart lies squarely
in the world of science.

The world has enough scientists,
we need more actors!

We're rehearsing the grand finale
for BISHOP's 150th BIRTHDAY WEEKEND.

So pay attention.

This is the only man
who should be talking right now.

He's your director.

Who are you again?

I'm Dave. I'm your Stage Manager.

- Gross.
- What, why is that gross?

Why is that gross?

You are very mean. She's really mean.

Alright Mercedes take a chill pill.

Yes Dave is our stage manager

and that's the lowest rung
on the totem pole but he's still a human.

Listen up,

come Saturday night,
these seats are gonna be filled.

Oh, speaking of...

It is my honor to introduce to you

the OG Detective Sneeps Sneepkins,

Dwick Brisebois!

Yes.

Clap!

When I finally realized you were never
coming back to Los Angeles,

what choice did I have?

What are you stalking me now?
Get your butt up here!

Harley, you said
you wouldn't make a big deal.

I feel kinda weird.

Dwick is a lot more shy,
a lot more humble than I am

but we had a blast shooting

- nine seasons of "Call Carter".
- Sure did.

So this is the guy you said I looked like?

He's like your doppelganger,
fifty years from now.

Exactly how old do you think I am?

- Seventy.
- Jesus.

Okay, Dave and I are going to go grab
some vegan smoothies over at North Star,

but Mr. Brisebois
is gonna hang around here,

give you some pointers, run some lines.

- No.
- Yeah, come on.

- No, as I said I'm here on vacation.
- Come on.

I just wanted to hit the beach you know,

get some sun maybe...
Oh okay, I can run some lines I guess,

you know, yeah you know,
believe it or not,

I myself was once a bit of a science nerd.

- I believe it.
- You are so mean. She is so mean.

Good luck.

I think we should cordon off the boardwalk

filter people through
the North Beach pathway,

- you agree?
- I agree.

Yeah, especially
when the fireworks display happens,

we want to have
all of these exit routes mapped.

Hey.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Just...I know every inch of this town.

And, every spot has a memory.

Seems like you're thinking about
a particular spot right now.

No it's just,
I mean yes but its kid's stuff.

This is my interested face.

Okay, I was a freshman in high school

and I was supposed
to meet this boy out here.

It was the carnival, summer night and,

in a way it was supposed to be
my first real date

and that guy didn't show up.

He didn't show up.

What idiot wouldn't show up for you?

You'll excuse me if I'm too blunt,
but I don't know how else to play this.

Don't you think we should talk about
what happened at the range?

That I outshot you?

Yeah.

Listen...

I know what happened.
And we should talk about it.

It's just I'm not always that great

at putting together the right words
to describe how I'm feeling.

Alright, I understand that, I get it.

Just make sure you let me know
when the right words come together.

- I will.
- Okay.

- We got time.
- Yeah. We got time.

But right now we should
head back to the station,

start initiating this plan?

- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okay.

Okay, Tears For Fears. Brilliant name.

- Flock of Seagulls, ridiculous.
- Oh, I like it.

Men at Work. Brilliant.

- Men Without Hats, ridonculous.
- Okay.

- Counting Crows...
- Oh, that's a hard one...

Smash Mouth?

What the?

Sam!

- She's breathing!
- Oh god.

Dave call an ambulance...

Boyle, hey.

Call all the ambulances Dave.

Carter

- Here comes the jiggly.
- No, I feel fine.

- I don't want any...
- Come on, have a little jiggly.

- I don't want any.
- Here comes the jiggly train.

Come on have a little jiggly.

Jiggly train trying to get
into the station.

Alright fine. Suit yourself.

Hey Dave, you want some jiggly?

Wes, what do we got?

All personnel at the station
at the time of the attack

had at least trace amounts
of the drug ketamine in their systems.

Chief Boyle hit his head when he fell.

He's stable,
but in and out of consciousness.

Ketamine?

It is often used as an anesthetic
in surgeries.

Alright Dave and I are gonna head
to the station

and try and see if we can figure this out.

- Well, I'm coming with you.
- Maybe you should rest

until your functions stabilize.

I'm not gonna stay in this bed
while this is happening.

Let's get back to work. I'm still a cop.

- I gotta change.
- Oh, okay.

- Well I think she...
- Sorry.

Ms. Mayor,
I get this is a big deal for your town...

Yes, I get that it's not every day
a town turns 150 years old,

but with all due,
there has been a serious threat.

You should cancel all the festivities...

Fine, it's your call.
I will keep you posted.

- Hi there, how are you?
- Abigail?

Sam. Hello.

- Hi this is...
- Staff Sergeant Major Pershing-Linn.

RCMP.

Pershing?

- As in...Chief Pershing?
- My dad, Angus, yes.

Oh, this is amazing.

- How are you? I am...
- I know who you are.

The peacock.

Aside from the nickname,
he doesn't talk about you much.

Which tells me everything I need to know.

The peacock?

Your dad was the best.

I always used to give him these hugs
and lift him up

and his feet would just dangle
just a little bit off the ground.

It was so cute. Tell him that we said hi.

Abigail. I haven't seen you
since you were finishing up training.

- So you're a sergeant. Congratulations.
- Thanks Sam. I've worked hard.

Hard enough to feel comfortable
in someone else's office.

Your chief has been incapacitated

and I've been put in charge
of this investigation

with full authority of my branch.

And this is an office
I spent a considerable amount of time

in as a kid, so yeah,
I'd say it feels pretty familiar.

Now, this whole station
is considered a crime scene

so I am having your coffee stations
and vending machines tested by the lab.

I'm sorry, you think an entire department
was poisoned from bad station coffee

or a nasty nut 'n nougat bar
in the vending machine?

Harley...You have a better idea, Carter?

Well, I mean the fact
that the ketamine had such a wide effect,

it was probably airborne,

likely administered
from the vents or the ducts.

That's where I'd start but hey,
what do I know, I'm just a peacock.

I'm so sorry.

Abigail, we found this canister
in the ducts filled with ketamine.

Fan blew it into the vents.

- Looks like Harley was right.
- You kidding me?

Guys, let's concentrate
on the upside here.

- I was right.
- Zip it Carter.

Thank you.

Me and my team will take it from here.

Why don't you three go
through the surveillance footage.

If you can handle that.

Surveillance footage?
What are we rent-a-cops?

You don't think Abigail squeezing us
out of this investigation

is in any way suspicious?

Well, if you would pay attention,

maybe we could be the ones
cracking the case, right here.

Oh no. Abigail's purse just fell.

What the hell are you doing?

That is a Sergeant's personal property.

Well she left her purse out here
so it's kind of her fault.

Yeah you know,

some psychologists might say
she wanted us to search it.

By the way, three hand sanitizers?

Well that explains
why she didn't want to shake our hands.

- Guys!
- It's a plain view search

which I'm pretty sure is a thing.

It's a thing when you have probable cause.

Are you really gonna let
Pershing's offspring

just waltz in here
and take over our investigation?

In my world, there is something called
the chain of command

and as abrasive as she may be,
Abigail was sent here to do a job.

You just have a problem with authority.

So get your fingers
out of that woman's purse.

Freeze it right there.

That's from four days ago.

RAME Duct Works?

No. That's a fake name.

It's like a name that a bunch of writers
on a TV show would come up with

cause it's easy to clear.

It's probably the writer's initials like
Roddy, Andy, Michael, Evan?

Roddy?

Get this, there is no business in Bishop
called RAME Duct Works.

So who is the guy in the jacket?

Want to explain this Carter?

Oh, if you wanted an autograph

probably should have been nicer to me
when we first met.

This whole thing is about you.

We found this in the duct.

"Dear Carter: Real danger, fake detective.

Having fun, yet?

Wondering what's next? Celebrate big!"

It's a riddle.

I'm gonna have to call in
our code department

but there's no question
there's a clock on this.

Look how it's signed.

- Xoxoxo...?
- No, there's a "U" in there.

XOXO...U...XO. Is that a mistake?

No, UXO is military speak for,
"Unexploded Ordinance"

i.e., a possible live bomb.

They still find them
on the beaches at Normandy,

75 years after World War Two.

I know it's not the same thing

but they're holding
that 150th beach volleyball tournament

down at Calypso Beach right now.

We have to get to that beach...

And we need to bring
the bomb squad with us.

Field 26, I need a go signal or all clear.

- Do you have eyes?
- All clear!

26 what are we looking at?

Not an explosive, no detonator...

but I don't know what this thing is.

Hey look, it's me!

North American tour of Greece.

"KABOOM!

You got lucky this time.

But unless flavor of the month
Harley Carter leaves Bishop,

you're gonna get assaulted!"

On a positive note,
the ice cream truck just got here.

That was the Mayor on the phone.

In light of what could have been
a major tragedy...

More of a minor prank.

she's given me full authority
to cancel the celebration,

including your little high school play,
effective immediately.

Okay, you know what,
I'm just gonna come out and say it.

Abigail Pershing is the worst. Right?

Well, unofficially I got your back
but she really scares me.

What if this is just an elaborate scheme
for her to make a name for herself?

- I wasn't thinking that.
- How would that work, exactly?

Think about it. She creates the mayhem,

to save the town from mayhem,
and become the hero.

- Compelling.
- It's not really.

She rolls into town from out of nowhere,
she's got an attitude.

She is determined
to cancel the town celebration.

She is the one who finds the notes
on the back of my precious head shots.

- She's clearly got it out for me...
- Oh, yes.

Okay.

I see, so this is about you?

No, that's not what I meant.

You're kinda reaching there buddy.

There's something off
about Abigail Pershing.

I can feel it!

Excuse me, sorry, we're gonna have
to commandeer this

and your helmet
for a police investigation.

- Thank you. Hey relax.
- Hey!

It's the most exciting thing
to happen to you

since I walked up to you five seconds ago.

- Thank you.
- What are you doing?

Just look.
That dude was filming the whole time.

Let's see if Abigail Pershing
was up to any suspicious activity...

- Oh my gosh!
- What is it?

These new pants I got.
Look at me running, they fit me so well.

All that core work is really paying off.

Okay here we go. Sam!
Come and take a look at this!

Who is that?

That's Jasper Hightower.
He's a veterinarian.

Why is Abigail Pershing
yelling at a veterinarian?

That is a good question.

Dr. Hightower? Sorry the door...

I came here to talk...
I'm sorry, what is that smell?

I'm just doing labs on four year old
Jason Kinefsky's stool sample.

- On a four year old child?
- No,

Jason is a Golden Doodle
with some pretty severe IBS issues.

I'll say.

Oh my God...Did you just...

No...It's chocolate.

Just chocolate.
Yeah with a little nut and caramel.

- Care for one?
- No.

Are you my 1PM?

The Cornish Rex with the abscess tooth?

No, I'm Sam Shaw, Bishop PD.

I came to talk to you
about Abigail Pershing?

- The Great Dane?
- The RCMP Sergeant.

Pershing? Yeah, Pershing.

Remember that name.

It's like but I don't I don't know her.

That's funny because, you were seen

here arguing with her on video
about an hour ago.

Oh, Abigail Pershing.

Yeah, I don't know her, know her.

But, I'm just familiar with her,
from when she was a kid.

You know, when I was a kid
and we were both kids.

- What were you talking about?
- Oh, we were just catching up.

You know like, hey how's your dad,
he's good, how's your dad?

- He's also good.
- Okay here's the thing

Dr. Hightower, the labs from the attack
on the precinct

came back showing traces of ketamine.

What does that have to do with me?

Ketamine issued along with other drugs
to anesthetize livestock for surgery.

And you're the town veterinarian,

and you were seen arguing
with the Sergeant

who is investigating that very attack

so it seemed like a fair line
of questioning.

Have you had any ketamine
go missing lately?

Look I told you everything I know
and I think I've been very helpful.

So, if there's nothing else, please...

leave?

Just so you know, protecting somebody

can make you an accessory after the fact.

You'll excuse me
if I don't shake your hand.

Chili time!

You're not eating?

No, I'll pass, too salty for me.

Gord the fry cook
has an itchy salt finger.

- Always has.
- Mr. Dwick, a selfie?

Sure of course.

Loved you on "Call Carter".

Not sure what I've seen you in since,

but to me you'll always be Sneeps.

Just indelible.

You're a real weasel.

Thank you.

Oh, you are so sweet.

Oh, I tell you in our business
you're lucky to get one role

that people identify
with you that strongly.

Yeah we had a good time on "Call Carter"
but I'm sorta glad that I hung it up.

I mean you remember
how close we all got on the show.

I feel that way here in Bishop
except I don't have to deal with ratings

or worry about getting canceled.

Oh, look who it is,
the admirable Martin Seymour Hoffman.

You know, I should be pissed at you
for ruining the festival,

if I wasn't so relieved
I didn't have to do that stupid scene

- from your stupid show.
- You want me to take care of that kid?

You want to blame someone
for canceling all these festivities,

look no further than Abigail Pershing!

- Beat it.
- Hey you know I gotta go to the restroom.

Sorry guys, I'm so scared of her.

You are going to take this pen

and you are going to write down
the names of everyone in this town

who has or will have a grudge against you.

So they're keeping you sedated
till the swelling in your brain goes down.

But the nurse said
I should feel free to talk to you.

So, here goes.

I thought I knew how I wanted things
to go in my life.

But I don't know, lately I just,
I've been thinking that maybe

there's something more out there for me.

And I never thought that
before you showed up...

And the kiss was good.

It felt good...

And also bad
because it was just so confusing.

It just sparked
so many unanswered questions...

So here we are.

And now we have a ticking clock
of a different kind

and a case that's running away from us.

Maybe I should fill you in
on what you've missed.

No one has a grudge against me
in this town.

Everyone loves me.

A third attack is imminent,
and people are in danger.

So, if you truly love Bishop.

Start writing.

And take your time.
I wouldn't want you to miss anyone.

What about this guy?

Yes you're right, that man hates you.

So the first note brought us to the beach.

So, the second note
has to have a clue in it

that tells us
where the third attack happens.

"If flavor of the month,
Harley Carter doesn't leave,

you will all be assaulted!"

If Harley Carter, flavor of the month
doesn't leave, you will all be assaulted.

Assaulted, assaulted.

A-salted.

Salt is something you flavor,
something you salt, its food.

But what would you salt
that the whole town would be eating?

I gotta tell ya,

I think there's something funky
in that chili.

Mommy, I feel, funny.

I don't feel so good.

Oh my god...

We've been poisoned!

Nobody eat that...

And, scene.

Constable.
All evidence to be bagged and tagged.

You mean this mysterious,
odd and foreboding medical vial.

A medical vial possibly used
in the poisoning of our citizenry?

That was curiously found
next to the tire of vehicle?

Here's what I'm curious about.

All of these police here
and the amateur's the one who finds this?

Interesting. Bag it.

We'll send it to an independent lab
outside of Bishop.

Cutting Wes out of the picture?

You still think your girl in on the up
and uppies?

What I think is that sometimes
ambitious women

are labeled differently
than ambitious men.

This is her crime scene.

Okay, we're gonna have to take this
in our own hands.

Oh, yeah and how are we gonna do that?

Depends on how hungry you still are?

What can you tell us about the chili?

- Wow, you gonna be okay?
- Yeah.

Well if Gord made it I'm guessing

- it was over-salted.
- Right!

But it also contained high concentrations
of major alkaloids emetine,

methyl cephaeline, and cephaeline,

which act locally
by irritating the gastric mucosa

and centrally by stimulating
the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone.

Oh yes, medullary chemoreceptor,
trigger zone, yes of course.

- Inglés por favor?
- Thank you.

It's Ipecac. It basically makes you hurl

and there's worse news.
As far as finding a culprit Harley,

you can buy this over the counter
at any pharmacy.

So, it could be virtually anyone.

Oh, we believe this is the shovel
used to dig the hole at the beach.

We found it discarded
at a nearby wooded area.

We're still trying to pull a print
from the shaft.

- He said shaft.
- What is literally wrong with you two?

- Sam you snuck into the records room?
- Yes, I snuck in there.

You're not the only one
who can break the rules.

And what I found in there
I think you might be right about Abigail.

We have to find her.

- Hey, where's Pershing?
- She's in the interrogation room.

I want you to tell me the truth.

What is this?

I'm interrogating my prime suspect.

- A kid?
- He's fifteen

and he's admitted to defacing
one of Carter's billboards.

He blacked out his teeth,
drew a mustache and horns.

No those weren't horns but yeah, okay,
I was trying to get back at him.

Because every day
he walks into drama class like he's,

he's cooler than Johnny Galecki...

Whoa, I'm not cooler than Johnny Galecki?

- Why isn't he in here?
- Sorry.

Too many people in this scene.
I'm just waiting for my cue.

I didn't attack anyone! I swear.

The ketamine used in the attack
was stolen from your father's cabinet.

He knew it and that's why
he lied to me at the beach

to protect you and here's the kicker.

We pulled this from your social media
and I quote,

"Harley Carter has turned this whole town
into a crap episode of his crap show.

Time to cancel it and him."

Wow Martin? Super rude about my show.
I'm pretty sure that was a death threat.

- Harley.
- Yeah.

- I really think my son did it.
- Dad!

I love my boy but all the evidence
is pointing right at him!

Also you should probably
read his diary, too!

It's possibly filled
with a lot of really dark thoughts.

- You read my diary?
- You're supposed to be a genius right?

And under the mattress is the best
hiding spot you could think of?

Martin is a self-professed
science aficionado.

He'd be capable of knowing
how to set up the ketamine

for maximum effect in the vents.

Martin?

Yeah of course I know how,
that's like science 101.

That is a viable theory, Abigail.

Thank you Sam, glad you approve.

But I have discovered another theory.

Rafalski? Keep an eye on these two
for a few minutes.

- That's my suspect.
- Not going anywhere.

You know in a pinch a toothbrush
makes for a handy shiv.

Dad!

Angus Pershing did not retire willingly.
I read this in his file.

I did not know that and it sucks.

- He was forced out...
- He gave his life's blood to this town.

And I wouldn't blame you
if you held Bishop

and maybe even Harley Carter responsible.

I mean he didn't exactly
make your dad's last year easy.

Excuse me are you accusing me
of something?

How could I even do that?

I was assigned this case.
I'm not a fortune teller.

Harley, you ready for your show and tell?

Finally. Been waiting for my cue.

Sergeant Pershing.

You mind if we take a look see
in your purse? Thank you.

We conducted a legal open view search
of the contents of your purse

and we found nothing out of the ordinary
except for this receipt

for an open pharmacy item.

Might it be for ipecac?

Well done, Harley Carter.

But the $18.95 isn't for ipecac.

It's for Werther's Original butter candy.
An impulse buy.

Are you proud of yourself?

This is not about the Werther's.

This about the date.

The date you bought those delicious
sucking candies four days ago.

Before anything went down,
before there was a case to be assigned.

You were here and had access
and opportunity to plant everything.

I was in town helping my father.

Your father was in Florida playing golf.

He came back for his birthday,
but I'm sure you guys forgot about that.

Just like you forgot about him.

And that gives you legs to an alibi...

And that's why I'm going to arrest Martin
and hold him responsible.

And I guess that's good news
for you Harley Carter.

You get to put on
your little high school play.

- I was sure we had her.
- We'll get her.

What the hell is going on out there?

- What is that?
- There's about thirty more

just like this
being paraded around out there,

calling for you to leave town.

I mean the whole station
is a madhouse man!

You know, I have never replaced an actor
who was incarcerated before.

Couple of dead guys sure.

Toy boat...

I can't believe
I get to play Sneeps again.

You know,
I don't know if I'm excited or nervous.

You know I just,
I haven't felt way in a long time.

And I like it.

I doubt anyone's going to show up anyway.

Pershing really torpedoed
my cred in this town.

Hey, you know what?

So, what if it doesn't work out in Bishop.
You've always got a home in Hollywood.

You know, my couch is your couch.

Actually, it is your couch.

You gave it to me
when you moved back here.

Alright.

- Need some help?
- No, I got it.

Okay little.

Okay, alright, you know,
I'm gonna run out grab a smoke

and I'll see you in the scene, buddy.

Yeah.

Harley? I hope this isn't a bad time.

I wouldn't want to break
your concentration before the big show.

Doesn't matter. What do you need?

I brought you an opening night present.

I was able to identify the person
whose prints were on the shovel

we found near the beach.

But, it's odd.

Harley Carter, you've done it again.

- Talking to me?
- What are you doing here?

Get out of here!
No civilians back stage. Go!

Guys, you're not going to believe this.
It's a full house.

You see that,
the town does believe in you!

People didn't stay away!
They had to be turned away!

It's a who's who of Bishop out there!

And we...

Listen to me Charlie Carter,
you can walk in here,

derail my investigation,
take a lot of cheap shots at my methods,

but I spell murder with an "M",
just like the next guy!

So good, he's so good.

Murder...

The end for some
but just the beginning for Charlie Carter.

Hey you know what everybody?

You folks, we all know
how this scene goes.

I have a theory, Sneeps has a theory,
my theory is usually right.

You've seen this scene after scene,

episode after episode,
season after season.

- Hey buddy, that's not the line?
- Harley, what are you doing?

You're going to blow all the cues.
He's going to blow all the cues.

We were going to perform for you
an episode of "Call Carter"

but I thought we'd try something
a little different tonight.

A little something called improvisation.

Hey everybody!

That's our rascal of an evidence tech,
Wes, right over there.

Let's give him a round of applause
everybody yeah!

Yes!

Sit down, Douche Face!

Now Wes actually came to me
with a very important piece of information

right before we all took the stage

he gave me the identity of the person
whose fingerprints we found on the shovel

that was used to bury the fake bomb
at Calypso beach.

And it was none other...

than Abigail Pershing!

That is not true.

Now listen, hold on a second.
I said fingerprints

but it was more specifically
one fingerprint,

her thumbprint over and over
and over again.

All up and down the handle.

Now either Abigail is literally all thumbs

or someone planted that thumbprint
over and over and over again

in order to implicate her.

It reminded me
of an episode of "Call Carter".

Our guest star
was actually Corbin Bernsen.

Yes, loved him.

Weird bellybutton. Old Corby's got this
long like outtie, it's so weird.

But, Corby played Tom Farfugan,
this baseball manager/drug smuggler,

who tried to implicate someone
by planting their thumbprint

all up and down a baseball bat.

Sadly, the scene had to be cut.

So, only two people in Bishop
knew about that scene.

Myself.

And Dwick Brisebois!

It was you Dwick
who gassed the precinct with ketamine.

It was you who planted the fake bomb
at Calypso beach,

and it was you who tainted the chili

and it was you who wrote those notes
on the back of my precious headshots!

That's ridiculous!

You're accusing me
based on some old footage

that nobody's ever even seen.

How very Sneepsian of you.

Well let me implicate you
within an inch of your life.

Dwick used his science background...

Believe or not I myself
was a bit of a science nerd.

To fill the aerosol cans with the ketamine
he stole from the town veterinarian...

When Sam told me the cabinet
looked like it'd been broken into,

I remembered the bandage on Dwick's hand.

Dwick then placed the cans
in the ducts at the Precinct.

You used my suspicion
of Abigail Pershing to frame her.

She creates the mayhem,

to save the town from the mayhem,

- to be the hero.
- Compelling.

Dwick claimed
he needed to use the restroom

so he could slip out
and plant the ipecac in Abigail's car.

But it was locked,
so he placed the bottle by the tire.

Then he pretended
to be sick from the chili

I gotta tell ya.

I think there's something funky
in that chili.

Even though he hadn't eaten any

cause he knew it was filled
with stomach clearing ipecac.

But all that
would have been circumstantial

without hardcore physical evidence
like prints

which you pulled off
of Abigail's mug at the diner.

And then disguised yourself as RCMP
in order to get access.

- Hey, where's Perishing?
- She's in the interrogation room.

And plant those prints on the shovel.

We all know being an actor
is the most important job on a TV show.

Don't tell the writer's I said that.

And as actors we have our go-to's,
our tricks of the trade.

Dwick, yours is your elaborate handwriting
on the murder board.

Did you know
you can positively identify someone

based on their handwriting
the same way you can

from a fingerprint like for example,

the curve of your "R"
here on the murder board

matches the curve of the "R" on the note

written on the back
of my precious headshot.

Why, Dwick, why?

We had such a fun time
shooting "Call Carter".

But maybe that's the reason right there.

When "Call Carter" ended
you couldn't get another job.

You were typecast as Sneeps.
So, what do you do?

You try and get the good people of Bishop
to turn against me,

to force me back to Hollywood,

so we would have to resume
shooting "Call Carter".

But you underestimated
the good people of Bishop.

These are my people.

Where no amount of ketamine, or fake bombs

or tainted chili could stop us
from celebrating our town!

Ladies and gentlemen Chief Boyle!

You know Carter,
starting to like this acting thing.

You're a natural. They love you.

You know what everybody, get up here.

Dot, Wes, Dave get up here.

Everybody come on up it's time to bow.

Where's my cast? Come on everybody.

Oh yeah, enjoy it, take your bow folks.

Yes!

Alright everybody

we're gonna jump up on three
for the freeze frame.

One, two, three!

I'm in a coma for two seconds
and the whole town falls apart.

To pieces. You feeling okay?

Harley Carter, he's something, isn't he?

Oh, he is something.

Hey listen, I was made to understand that,

you were by my side in the hospital.
Thank you.

Were you? Did you?

Of course, I mean you're,
you're one of us now. You're family.

Yeah, well I really feel part of the town
largely because of you.

That's sweet...
why do I feel a "but" coming?

NYPD wants me back.

They offered me a job. A big job.

Good for you,
that's, when did you find out?

Actually I've known for a couple weeks.

Listen, Sam,
I want you to understand that...

everything I said to you
the first time we met

in my office was all true.

But there's a fire in my belly
that's calling me back to the action.

It's just in my bones.

Well, I think you should follow
your bones.

There is one big question mark
that's making this decision a lot harder.

- And that's you.
- Me?

Us.

Us...

Look Sam, I am not a man who plays games,
not at this point in my life.

I think there's a lot of potential for us.

I just want a chance
to turn that question mark

into something else...

So this morning I finally got the results
from my mail in DNA kit...

Turns out I'm not exotic, Harl.
I'm not even a little bit Dutch.

I'm a 100% Northern Canadian guy...

But ya know what? I'm happy being me.

And I'm grateful for you and what we have.

I what we have too.

I think we got a few more years in us,
a few more seasons.

Me, you, and Sam.
At least until we get a streaming deal.

Look who it is.

- What's going down?
- What up?

Yeah, boom.

Oh, what, why?

Please don't make Dave do that again.

- It wasn't great.
- See you guys.

Yeah, I know.

It's a nice night.

Nice town.

Yeah...

you ever think about that night?

What night?

That night you were supposed
to meet me on the boardwalk.

We were supposed to have a date,
but you never showed up.

I'm so sorry, I don't remember.

In a way, I feel like
I've been waiting for you ever since.

Harl, I gotta ask you.

That night
when we were outside of the car,

the night before
Dave married a bank robber.

When you leaned in to kiss me...

- was that really about Boyle, or...
- What are you asking?

Boyle is going back to New York.

He got his old job back with a promotion.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

He asked me to join him.

Well, to go there and work.
He thinks I'm ready.

Yeah you are ready.
You've always been ready.

So you think I should go?

I think it's only important
what you think.

Well, I mean I think it would be
a huge opportunity.

You know, I mean, have I fantasized
about something like that? Maybe.

It'd be a big learning curve I'm sure,

- but...
- I guess what I'm asking is...

what do you think about Boyle?

I think he's terrific.

I mean I don't know
if there is anything real there

but I would be lying
if I said I wasn't curious to find out.

Well that's two reasons right there.

Okay, lot to think about then.

Hey Harl?

Yeah?

If I go, you'll come visit, right?

You kidding?

You and me in New York, Coney dogs,
going to see "Cats" the musical,

mouthing all the words?

We would crush that city.

Good.

Red converse, no laces,

a Smiths T-shirt, torn jean jacket...

That's what you were wearing that night
in high school on the boardwalk.

You were there.

I thought you were
the most beautiful girl,

the most beautiful person,
I had ever seen.

I was terrified
that I was gonna screw it up.

I kept having this thought, this vision,

I would disappoint you someday.

So here we are tonight.

You're still the most beautiful,

still terrified
that I'm gonna screw it up,

but I also know
we rarely get second chances in life.

And I'm not gonna make
that same mistake again.

Don't go Sam. Don't.

Stay.

I know it's not my place
and I have no right to tell you that.

I'm not going to stand in the way
of your dreams.

I got to chase mine,

but if you think
we have the slightest chance,

the slightest chance...

Stay.

I'm asking you to stay.

Look at that.

I walked us right into a cliff-hanger.
