Season 2 Episode13

we are nowhere.

We are nowhere.

We are nowhere.

You can't be nowhere...

- because to be...
- crews.

- You have to be...
- crews.

Somewhere.

You can't be nowhere.

We are nowhere...

with the shooting,your shooting.

- Ballistics?
- Clean.

Whoever did it was in the car
by the time I got to the door.

What about the car?

Stolen.

Found it wiped clean.

Crews,you were looking...
right at whoever did it.

You can't remember?

Okay,you answered the door...

and then?

And then I got shot.

What about the person with the gun?

Nothing.

Really? I thought there
couldn't be nothing.

You want to come in?

Eight Weeks Later

here you are.

Here you are.

It's an unusual request,detective.

Most people wouldn't want to
have the bullet that shot them.

Well,someone gave it to me.

It'd be rude just to throw it away.

- You fit for duty?
- I am fit for duty.

You want to go catch a killer?

I thought you'd never ask.

how come this is lapd and not faa?

I guess this is why.

Think he shot himself?

If he did,why'd he land the plane?

Why didn't he just let go?

No gun anywhere in here.

Pilot's license I.D.'S
him as william ellis.

The late william ellis has one
entry wound to his right side.

Got a bunch of witnesses out
here. They all say the same thing.

The plane makes a hard
landing. They run up.

The pilot's all alone in the plane.

He looks at them and dies.

- There's no one else in the plane.
- And no gun.

So someone shoots him
before he takes off?

Or someone shoots him in the air.

And jumps?

Or william ellis here shoots
himself and then tosses the gun out.

I'll call the airfield,check if
he was alone when he took off.

I'll see if the faa has a flight
path,find out where he was going.

Hey,reese?

He look familiar to you?

Yeah,but I can't figure out why.

William ellis-- guess
where he used to work.

- In the circus.
- No.

Why would you say the circus?

You told me to guess.

- Crews.
- I'll tell you.

In space. William "bull"
ellis was a shuttle pilot.

He went up there three times.

Ellis retires from nasa in 1993.

He starts a company that makes parts
for rocket engines,and he gets rich.

- He came down in that plane alone?
- Yep.

The field where he took off from
was private. No control tower.

He logged out alone,but there
was no one there to verify that.

Where was he headed?

Flight wasn't logged in. The faa
doesn't track planes that small.

I know him. He looks familiar.

He's been on the news.

He's going back into space.

He was gonna pay the russians
$35 million to take him back up.

$35 million. Okay.

A rich man gets shot dead. Who benefits?

Uh,he's got a wife that died
ten years ago and,uh,one kid.

We're on our way now to go talk to him.

Detective,a moment.

Not you,detective. You,detective.

Don't you usually kiss reese
when you call her back like this?

I got something else in mind for you.

Don't remember who shot you?

Just a blank space there.

Okay,just so you know,I don't buy it.

Someone shoots me,that's
not someone I'm gonna forget.

Well... like I
said,captain,there--

there's just a blank space there.

Dad called this morning.

Said he was taking the
plane up for a couple hours

and wanted to see me in the
office when he came down.

You work for your father,dean?

Yeah,the head of expended
resource control and distribution.

Can you think of anybody
who'd want to harm him?

harm him? No. Everybody loved him.

The president called,said the
nation had lost a shining light.

Dean,we need to ask you
where you were this morning.

With some friends here at work.

You... you want to talk to them?

Oh,it's just procedure.

He goes back into space at his
age--that doesn't worry you at all?

Dad needed to fly.

Hours alone in his
plane,climbed k2 last year.

If dad wanted to go back into
space,dad was going back into space.

Pretty expensive trip,huh?

$35 million.

Did he have that kind of money?

Dad was selling the company to
pay for his next trip up there.

Selling it for how much?

A lot,I guess.

william ellis spends 15 years
building up this company,

and then he sells it
for two weeks in space?

He had been up there before.

He knew what he was paying for.

I guess he thought it was worth it.

Could you imagine seeing
the world from up the?

The earth is floating.

You are floating.
Everything is floating.

I hear there's a lot of barfing
and you crap into a vacuum.

Yeah,a floating vacuum.

A floating vacuum?

You don't even know what that means.

It's space talk.

We joined nasa together,trained
together,flew together.

We retired within months of each other.

When bill opened up this shop...

I came on board.

As an employee?

You're checking up on
me. Yes,as an employee.

Mr. Breem,bill ellis was
selling this business.

What's that leave you with?

That leaves me with having worked
for bill ellis for the last 15 years.

That leaves me with time to get
back in the cockpit where I belong.

I never wanted to be a
businessman. I'm--I'm a flyer.

So you worked for him because...

Because bull asked me to.

Did bull have any enemies?

No,no. Everyone loved bull.

The president called this morning.

Is it possible he took his own life?

We all get a little
depressed at this age.

One foot in the grave,another
on a banana peel.

But to be honest with you,for
folks like us,it's worse.

To be down here and not up there?

That's exactly right.

But bill was going back. He...

he was going back up.

What's it like? To be up there?

It's like...

like going back where I came from.

"Like going back where I came from."

A lot of the astronauts turn to poetry.

The spacemen poets.

We're gonna have to ask--
where were you this morning?

I was fishing at castaic.

Detectives,you will find
out who did this,won't you?

Mr. Breem,how much was bill
ellis selling his company for?

$30 million.

The trip back up costs $35 million.
Where was the rest coming from?

His savings.

How much of his savings?

Well,all of it.

Can you point us toward
his son dean's office?

he pays for that trip,the
kid gets no inheritance.

How come everyone says
the president called?

Well,people like to think that they
will be remembered after they're gone.

You know,that their
lives have made an impact.

After I got shot,you
thought about me,didn't you?

Come on. You did,admit it.

Y-ye--yes,crews,I
thought about you.

About what it would be like
if I,you know,floated away,

how empty your life would be.

Reese with no crews.

Hey,when I was unconscious...

The,uh... the president
didn't call me,did he?

No. He didn't call.

You'd tell me if he did,though.

I mean,you'd--you'd make
sure I got that message?

model planes.

you were flying model planes yesterday?

We're a club.

And where do you fly these planes?

desert.

Wind currents are primo.

I have a fokker.

Excuse me?

A fokker.

It's vintage. It's
what the red baron flew.

A model of what the red baron flew.

you're all out there together?

we meet once a week.

Once a week.

Or when the currents are primo.

And what do you fly?

Sr-71 blackbird.

That alibi seem rehearsed to you?

Dean's dad flew rockets.

Dean flies model airplanes.

His dad knew the president.

He knows them.

His dad owns this company,but...

makes dean work in that closet.

His dad sells the company...

and dean is left with nothing.

Was there something else?

Dean said his job is expended
resource control and distribution.

Can you tell us what that means?

Waste removal.

His father made him
take out the garbage.

paid him minimum wage too.

Said he had to start at the bottom.

Dean's father flew high.

I guess dean gets high too.

How's your injury?

100%. Why?

You want to kick in a door?

What the hell is it?

I have no idea.

You ever seen anything like it?

Nope. You?

Nope. You?

Nope.

What'd those kids say?

Nothing without a lawyer.

Maybe dean's father caught
dean dealing,so dean killed him.

Dealing,but... dealing what?

I've never seen anything like it.

Reese,remember those
guys who came to buy?

What did they have in comn?

They drove nice cars.

No. They drove race cars.

Not sure I'd go and do that.

Race cars.

Anyone got a light?

Not sure if I'd go and do that either.

Dean worked at a rocket plant.

all right,let's talk about
scarcity of resources.

The less there is of
something,the more it is worth.

Like innocent men in here.

No,baby.

We're all innocent in here.

Actually,I am innocent this time.

Last time I-I did it.

I did what they said.
But,uh,this time,uh...

I am innocent.

Then you're the scarce resource.

Charlie crews says
hang tough,mr. Earley.

It won't be much longer.

Solid rocket fuel.

No wonder our hazmat
guy couldn't I.D.It.

You need security clearance to
get your hands on that stuff.

Or a dad in the business.

Those street racers
put this in there cars--

man,oh,man,are they
going somewhere fast,huh?

Your dad flew jets in the navy?

Carrier landings at night.

Takes a real man to do that.

Flew those three shuttle missions too.

I looked it up and--oh,wait,maybe
you know this too.

How fast your dad was
going when he flew up there.

17,000 miles per hour.

Did you hear that,reese?

Bill ellis was flying through
space at 17,000 miles per hour.

Your dad's a spaceman,and there
you are with your toy airplanes.

Model.

Okay,toy model.

And taking the company trash out,stealing
your father's fuel-- that make you popular?

- It make you cool?
- Make you money,dean?

Bull ellis find out you
were ripping him off?

Is that what he wanted
to talk to you about?

We're pretty sure you were not flying
model airplanes when your dad got shot,dean.

I was selling fuel in pomona.

Had breakfast at the diner. Flirted
with the waitress. She'll remember.

Oh,it went that well,huh?

Not very smart still working this
with us cops snooping around,dean.

Biggest race of the year.

I had obligations. I
didn't kill my father.

If you didn't do it,who did?

Don't you want to know who did it,dean?

His fly buddy mick breem wants to know. We
want to know. The president wants to know.

But you,dean,how--how come
you don't want to know?

Or are you not asking
who it is because...

you know who it was?

Who killed your father,dean?

Since last year,he,uh...

he spent too much time
alone in his plane.

He loved that company,and
he was selling it.

To go back into space.

What was he gonna do up there?

You didn't think he was coming back?

My partner here thinks
he took his own life.

Is that what you think?

Did he ever talk to you about this?

Dad never spoke to me about himself.

Never spoke to me.

Like a man?

Because you didn't fly.

I'm afraid of heights.

Dean said his father changed
his behavior about a year ago.

Something happen then?

Bill ellis was a hero.

It's our job to find
mr. Ellis' killer...

even if the killer is mr. Ellis himself.

Now,did something happen a year ago?

K2.

Bill climbed
regularly,several peaks a year.

Last year he ascended k2.

When he came back,he had changed.

Something happen on that mountain?

I don't know.

But he came back down off that mountain,put
that pick up on that shelf there.

He never climbed again.

What is that?

You don't know what this is?

This is a buddhist mourning flag.

It's got some english writing on it.

"K2--2008."

Flag for the dead?

Someone died during that trip up k2.

Who else was on that climb?

Bill only ever climbed with
one other man-- evan tucker.

It was just the two of them on k2.

Evan tucker come back?

Yes. Bill and tucker both
came down off that mountain.

So who died up there?

What's going on?

I don't know. You tell me.

Didn't you call me in here?

I called you in here,both of you.

I got a problem.

Maybe you two don't
want me here for this.

Stow it,stark.

Now,I have an unsolved shooting of
a police officer,my police officer,

and I've got a witness
who's not talking.

Charlie says he doesn't remember
who shot him. It happens.

Did I say it was a good time to talk?

Now,you are his old partner,and
you're his current partner.

So I want to ask you two a question.

I don't think I like being
questioned in this room.

Why wouldn't crews tell us who shot him?

Why would he keep that to himself?

What's he doing?

when I wish to forgive
another,what do I mean?

I mean I wish to forgive myself.

When I wish to harm
another,what do I mean?

I mean I wish to harm myself.

Close your eyes and think of
the world as seen from space.

From that distance,it is calm...

silent...

at peace...

one.

Calm,silent...

at peace...

one.

Because of a paper flag?

Paper mourning flag.

If ellis had it
made,someone died up there.

We checked with the k2 base camp station

there were no reported
fatalities during the time

that ellis and tucker
were up on that mountain.

You see that flag,you think
there was an unreported fatality.

Ellis and tucker both went up that
mountain. Ellis and tucker both came down.

evan tucker is not fortune 500.

Tucker's a manager at sporty mart.

How did he know william ellis?

Tucker only works half the year to pay for the six
months he spends on the global adventure circuit.

that's how he met ellis.

According to breem,they
just became real close.

They only climbed with
each other--a club of two.

You two talk to tucker.

Find out who didn't come
down off that mountain.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You go first.

Okay,okay,I'll go first.

That was tucker's kid.

Says her dad has been on a company retreat
for the last week-- backwoods,no phones.

Okay. That was the assistant
manager from sporty mart.

She says that tucker has been on a
family vacation for the last week--

backwoods,no phones.

Both ellis and tucker knew
who died on that mountain.

But now ellis is dead and...

tucker's been missing for a week.

Hi,this is detective
crews. Your mom around?

Hi,mrs. Tucker,this is
detective crews,lapd.

We're investigating
the death of bill ellis.

We know that your husband
climbed k2 with him last year.

Were there any fatalities on that trip?

Did someone die up there?

Okay,well,then maybe you'd like to
come down here and talk about that.

Tucker's wife says there
was a death up there.

Does she know who it was?

Well,did she tell you?

Tucker's wife says tucker died.

you saw your husband last week.

Yes.

But you told my partner on the
phone that he died up on k2.

He did.

How did he die,mrs. Tucker?

William ellis killed him.

His body isn't dead,is it,mrs. Tucker?

He's just not the same man that
went up that mountain,is he?

My husband and william
ellis were at 12,000 feet,

tethered together.

My husband lost his footing,and
w-- went over the edge.

He was pulling ellis down.

Ellis cut the rope.

And evan fell...

hundreds of feet.

He fell...

all alone and falling.

- But he didn't die.
- Nope.

Uh,angles of slope,drift
density,wind speed--

he was barely bruised.

Ellis,the hero,cut the rope.

Ellis let my husband fall.

Do you know where your husband is?

Where were you when ellis died?

Alone with our children.

I'm always alone with our children
since he came down off that mountain.

Mrs. Tucker,do you think your
husband could've killed ellis?

No. But I'm glad someone did.

Ellis cuts the rope...

tucker falls to his
death,but doesn't die.

And ellis needs to go back into space.

Thanks so much.

Got a little more information from the
assistant manager where tucker worked.

Since he'd come back from k2,he'd become less
interested in all the sports he usually did,

and he focused on just one sport.

Did she say what it was?

She did.

Was it skydiving?

We're looking for someone who could've
shot ellis,then jumped out of that plane,

and our lead suspect has a
sudden interest in skydiving.

Ran a credit-card check on tucker.

We got a hit at a perris motel.

Paris,france?

Perris,california--
skydiving capital of america.

Tucker's credit statements show that he's
been out there on and off for the last year.

Since k2.

Then you two head out to perris.

Uh,captain? A word.

This isn't the part
where you kiss me,is it?

Don't you ever call me into
that interrogation room again.

And if you have a question for my
partner,then you ask my partner.

I just wanted to find out who shot him,because
he's one of my cops and because you were there.

Maybe next time you get hit too.

Don't you ever call me into
that interrogation room again.

Okay,you asked about debt.
Let's talk about debt.

Simply put,debt is
anything that you owe.

Now,can anybody give me an example?

I still owe you a beating.

Oh,you mean because of
that bun I took from you?

Yeah,because of that bun
they let you take from me.

Ah,uh-uh,it's okay. It's okay. Okay.

Yeah,you,uh,you still owe me a beating.

Yeah,but I guess those babysitters charlie crews sent
are gonna keep you from collecting that beating,huh?

You don't have to do this.

Yeah,I do.

It's okay. The guards will break it up.

Not quick enough.

Okay,white collar,let's get it on.

we're looking for evan tucker.

Tucker? He's around here someplace.

You're cops. Is he in trouble?

We just need to talk to him.

He just went to jump. He
should be back in half an hour.

Tuck been coming here long?

About a year. He started as a student.

Now he's as good as
any of the instructors.

Tuck is fearless.

That a record of the students' jumps?

yeah,heights,pull times.

Tuck on that board?

He's there somewhere.

Ellis' plane was flying
at about 8,000 feet.

Let's see if tucker was training
to jump from that height.

I want to jump out of a plane.

Be a part of the air
and one with the sky?

No,I just want to jump out of a plane.

Tucker's jumps over the last month.

Look at this.

He was waiting longer and
longer before he pulled the cord.

He was getting closer
and closer to the ground.

You want to jump out of a
plane,and you don't want to be seen?

Then you wait as long as possible
before opening your chute.

Tucker was training to jump out
of a plane without being seen.

Don't you need a warrant for that?

- Maybe.
- Maybe not.

Is this tucker's only chute?

What is he doing on a
plane without a chute?

Hey,which plane is tucker in?

That one.

he's fearless,huh?

Yeah,tuck sure is fearless.

Were you always that way?

Or was it just because what happened
to you and ellis up on that mountain?

Fearless?

You touch death,and all that
fear just goes away,right?

It's time for me to fall.

Evan tucker,on your knees.

It's time for me to fall!

On your knees now!

A buddhist flag for the dead.

How'd you know what happens
when you touch death?

Detective crews.

Got something that belongs to you.

That bullet was yours. The next is mine.

Make the call.

What call?

The call that gets ted
earley out of prison.

There,it's done.

What was that?

Text message.

The call isn't even a
call anymore? It's a text?

I'm never catching up.

How much did roman pay you to shoot me?

You think it's about the money.

Roman uses people's weaknesses.

Where's your family,agent bodner?

I sent them away.

Because you're afraid of
what roman will do to them?

Roman nevikov came to my house.

I come home,he's
drinking tea with my wife.

My daughter is on roman's knee.

I sent them away.

Call me after your leg heals.

And don't throw that bullet away.

Found this when we searched
your perris motel room,tucker.

ballistics matched it to the
gun that killed william ellis.

You remember him,don't you?

Will ellis cut your rope.

William ellis let you fall.

Is that why you killed him?

You wouldn't understand.

We understand you went
up without a chute today.

Tucker,you feeling guilty about ellis?

You wouldn't understand.

Not that we blame you.

Anybody would want to do that to
someone who did what ellis did to you.

What william ellis did is
show me the face of god.

The face of...

Of god.

What did it look like,tucker?

It was beautiful.

Like...

the sun coming closer...

blinding me,but I could
still see everything.

Tucker,you didn't hate
william ellis,did you?

Why would I?

Because he cut your rope.

No,I had to beg him to do it.

We were both going over. I told him to
cut the rope. He didn't want to do it.

He didn't want to do
it. I had to beg him.

And then you fell.

But now ellis is dead.

No,he's not dead.

Just went back where he came from.

What was that,tucker?

Just went back where he came from.

That's what ellis used to say.

About going back into space.

What?

It's like going back where he came from?

That's what breem said
about being in space.

That's what tucker said ellis
said about being in space.

Well,maybe they were
both spacemen poets,crews.

And they both wrote the same poem?

Maybe one's a poet,and one's a liar.

You think nasa has a
listed telephone number?

It's a government agency.

Our tax dollars at work. I'll bet
they got a listed phone number.

Yes!

Need the number for nasa.

Checked with nasa.

Mick breem never
actually went into space.

He trained with ellis,but
he was an alternate.

He never went up there.

He padded his resume. I don't
think that makes him a killer.

And you got the guy with the gun,right?

What? You don't think tucker did it?

Because...

Because he saw the face of god.

Saw the face of... yeah.

We had a guy once in manhattan south who saw
the virgin mary on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Killed seven people with a tire
iron over the course of the week.

Tucker didn't mention grilled cheese.

Is this about him nearly
dying and you nearly dying?

Nope. I don't think it is.

At least tucker remembers
who cut his rope.

Finally got the financials
on ellis propulsion.

They just unsealed his will.

Guess who william ellis
left his company to.

Dean,how come you didn't tell us you
weren't getting your father's company?

What? I'm not getting the company?

- Mick breem is getting the company.
- What?

Mick breem is getting the company?

Well,yeah,I guess.

oh,well,yeah,you guess?

You guess what,dean?

I guess that makes sense.

Dad always said,"the right
person for the right job."

I guess dad knew that wasn't me.

Did mick breem kill my father?

if your father lived,breem gets nothing.

When he died,breem got the company.

Because mick breem is the
right person for the job.

Reese?

We're the wrong people for this job.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Watch out. Coming through.

- But it's not a plane.
- I know that.

But let's just say it is. Let's just say
this is the plane william ellis died in.

Crews.

Breem and ellis were both nasa
trained. It's what made them.

Okay,I understand that,but why are
you and tucker sitting like that?

It's the plane william died in.

Breem isn't gonna tell us how he did it.

How would ellis do it?

- Ellis is dead.
- Ellis is dead.

It's the plane ellis died in.

They both went through
nasa,did things the same way.

If we knew how ellis would've done
it,maybe we can figure out how breem did it.

Oh,not you too.

Tucker.

If ellis were gonna do this-- kill
a man and then jump from that plane--

how would he have done it?

It's the plane ellis died in.

William "bull" ellis was nasa.

He said everything
in life was a mission.

And for a mission,you have to train.

So how did breem train?

And where would he do it?

Let's start faxing his
picture around,shall we?

I have a captain tidwell on line one.

Mr. Breem,captain kevin tidwell,lapd.

What can I do for you,captain?

Tracked down that
charter pilot you used--

nevada,out of state,nice.

Used? Used for what?

To train--once a week
for the last two months.

Training to...

jump from a small plane at 8,000 feet-- the
cruising altitude of william ellis' plane.

you used a different name,so we faxed your
picture to the airfields in four states.

One of them puts your
face to the fake name.

and once we have that name,we get
you buying that gun there in nevada.

The gun you planted on tucker.

william ellis sells his company,goes
up into space,you get nothing.

William ellis dies,you get it all.

You never actually went up into space.

I never actually did.

well,think of it
this way,mr. Breem--

that now you get to go someplace
bill ellis never got to go.

Okay,you don't remember who shot you.

Anything else you don't
remember about that day?

If I don't remember it,how would
I know if I remembered or not?

Unless I forgot to remember.

Crews,you know what I mean.

Yeah,I know what you mean.

I remember you asking me a question

about your father having something
to do with me going to jail.

You still want to know the answer?

Yeah... I do.

Your father wasn't responsible
for me going to jail.

I was teaching a class
on the,uh,nature of debt.

We had a discussion.

Where do you want to go?

Anywhere else.

Fast.

Well,that,ted...

will not be a problem.

and think of the world
as seen from space.

From that distance, it is calm,silent,

at peace...

one.
