Son of a...!
Come on!
Hey...
Is this thing for water or for milk?
- Read the instructions. - They're in Italian.
Why are you complicating his life?
People already likes Dave's coffee.
I'm trying to help him out. My local spot...
...in Malibu has exact machine...
...and they make a cortado
...that will make your taste buds cry tears of joy.
So that's it.
What? I'm not following.
You bought it so you...
...could have your favourite drink whenever you wanted it.
So you're saying my loving...
...and amazing act of kindness...
...is actually just an act of selfishness?
What is this?
What is-no, no, no. No.
I wanna take a picture of the moment...
...Harley Carter became self aware.
I'm not self-aware.
I-I-I-I mean I am...
...self-aware.
You're just a cynic.
- That's what you are. - I'm also a realist.
No, no!
My god!
- Is this a joke? - How's it going, buddy?
Every button just shoots steam in my face!
Come on! You can fix that thing!
Here's your cortado.
I hope it tastes better with my pain.
I don't have to add any sugar.
YOU!
You disgrace.
The hell?
Parasite.
You-you leech!
I got a cortado here!
This man...
...is responsible for the Dreider Mine disaster.
They covered it up and this man...
...even took a bonus...
...to make it all go away.
He should be in jail!
You have some nerve.
If it wasn't for me none of you would have jobs.
He thinks he's worth a hundred of us.
I'm worth five hundred of you!
Brothers,...
...sisters,...
...let's make him pay...
...for what he has done.
Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!
It was an act!
Ladies and Gentlemen.
We are The Beamlight Players...
...and we would like to invite you to our brand new play,...
...Solomon's Siege.
Experience the whispered shout...
...from the soul...
...of pure theatre.
Flyers, flyers. Go, go, go,...
...go, go, go.
Sorry about your coffee.
It was a corta-to.
Cortado. Cortado.
Sorry about your cortado.
Bunch of wackos.
Hey.
A real TV star.
I put my pants on one leg at a time.
Yeah, but they're seven hundred dollar pants, right?
Hey, you should you should come see our play.
Craig is a genius and...
...it's an important subject.
- Okay. Thanks. - Yeah?
Actors.
Sheesh.
You could have busted them with disturbing the peace.
- Well, that's a stretch. - Littering.
They cleaned up after themselves.
They faked a bomb threat.
Or is that like, a cool thing to do up here now?
Well, thanks to you we've become blasÃ© about actor hijinks.
I mean, why are you so bugged by this?
They made you spill my coffee.
What have we got?
Body was found at 7:15 AM.
Male, mid 30s.
Only car in the lot.
Registered to the credit union, so...
...must be an employee.
How can one person just stab another person in the chest?
... straight through the ribs, right into the heart.
It's not easy.
Cold blooded, man. Cold blooded.
You wanna get started?
Definitely.
Dennis Lemash. 314...
...Robards Street. But why...
...were you parked in the one blind spot?
Four hours before the bank opens.
Just say it.
Call Carter.
Season 2, episode 7.
Kidnap the bank manager the night before.
Have him open up the bank...
...early, clear out the vault...
...before any of the employees show up.
Something goes wrong, thieves panic.
Stab stab. Dead manager.
So how did you solve it on the show?
I was waiting for them the night before.
I locked myself in the vault.
We should try that...
...in case you're right and the thieves come back.
I'm the manager. What's going on?
Dennis was our loan officer up until a week ago.
We had to let him go.
Why is that, Ms. Holander?
Missus. But...
...call me Angelica.
Why was Dennis fired, Angelica?
Habitual tardiness.
Poor work performance.
It's all in hispersonnel file.
Married? Next of kin?
Not married.
His parents live in Montreal.
His sister is in upstate New York.
I can get you their numbers if you need...
...their numbers. I...
Who would do something so horrible?
We're gonna find out.
Do you know why he was here this morning?
I wish I knew.
Did he still have a set of keys to the bank?
No, we collected all his keys.
I-it's standard procedure...
...when someone...
...departs.
I'm sorry. It's just such a shock.
Your employees are gonna go through...
...the same thing when they come in. Help them with that.
And let them know we need to ask them some questions.
- Well, no signs of a struggle. - Yeah.
Barely a sign of life.
Looks like it was staged by a real estate agent.
So Dennis Lemash was fastidious.
Not a speck of dust.
Doesn't really seem like someone who was fired...
...for being late and having bad work habits.
That's a good point.
Chomsky,...
...Shakespeare, Beckett, Bronte,...
August Wilson.
This guy had good taste.
What are we looking for?
A computer...
mail, a schedule.
Anything to tell us what Dennis Lemash...
...was doing for the last couple of weeks...
...and why he was in the back of the bank...
with his...
...killer.
I'm gonna have to send it into Toronto to crack the password.
It's going to take forever.
I got a guy.
You got a guy.
Okay. I got Koji.
But every time Dot forgets her password,...
...he just hacks into her computer.
Why doesn't she just tell him the password before she forgets?
What am I? A marriage counselor?
He will crack this thing like a walnut.
These are mortgages.
Hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred thousand.
Both for houses right here in town.
He was a loans officer. Ipso facto...
...loans. Watson.
Yeah, but he was fired.
So why does he have these?
And you're Watson.
Actually, you're more like Donkey.
Okay, well if I'm Donkey, then you're Shrek.
Are you cool with that?
It's a medieval dagger.
Like a collectors thing?
A replica. Not worth much.
About ninety bucks online.
This particular brand comes in a set of three.
Clay.
We found it embedded in the ricasso.
Ricasso.
Interesting.
You don't know what a ricasso is, do you.
Now you're just making up words to make me feel stupid.
Any idea where the clay is from?
Dirty knife. Could be anything.
Could he have stabbed himself?
Harakari style?
There's no prints on the knife,...
...so unless he stabbed himself in the heart,...
...took his gloves off,...
...ate them while going into massive...
...circulatory shock, I'd say no.
It was just a thought.
Did you want me to ask Dr. Walker...
...if she found gloves inside his stomach?
Okay, Wes. What else?
Partial palm print on the dash,...
...we vacuumed for hair and fibers...
...and found this.
Quite a bit of hair, mainly of the passenger side.
Roota still intact.
We'll have a DNA profile soon enough.
You give me a suspect, we'll see if it matches.
Great.
Or we could go with the harakari thing.
Dennis sat in the cubicle next to mine.
He didn't talk much. Always had his head down.
He was kinda sweaty. Even on the winter.
- It was probably a glandular thing. - You think?
- Francine has that problem. - Francine has vodka sweats.
Can you think of anybody who would want to hurt Dennis?
In the office?
No. He kept to himself.
Didn't hang out. Ate lunch in his car.
- In that spot behind the bank. - Yeah.
He probably watched porn on his phone.
Jean!
Well, maybe he was just trying to get away?
- Away from what? - Yeah, from what?
I don't know.
Why do you think he was fired?
I've got my theories, but I don't like to gossip.
Me neither.
Well, this is a murder investigation.
So gossip away.
I think Angelica had it out for Dennis.
Constantly calling him into her office to give him heck.
He'd come out all sweaty and nervous.
That's true! And every chance she got she would...
...make fun of him behind his back.
Calling him Pig Man.
It was pig-man-lion or something like that.
Pygmalion?
Yeah!
Is that like, really bad?
She actually seemed pretty broken up about his death.
Crocodile tears, you ask me.
Angelica's a mean one. She likes to pick on people.
And he was easy pickings.
Jean... you don't think she killed him?
Holy cow, stabbing him like that?
What do you think?
I've got it from here. Thanks for coming in.
You can't tell anyone I did this.
I'll tell them I did it.
Or something more believable.
Okay...
...yes.
Alright,...
...that file. There.
We-e-e-ell, good morning.
You are kidding me.
What? I-I had it installed last night.
Are you gonna place them all over town?
Don't be ridiculous.
Just Dave's. My house.
Maybe the gym. But that is it.
You ready to check out the laptop?
It's open and ready for business.
Are you gonna keep me in suspense?
You find anything on the phone?
No. It was clean.
Okay.
Are you ready for the act one break?
I presume that's something big?
Yeah.
It's always the quiet ones.
Hello...
...Angelica Holander.
Bank manager.
End act one.
I've been going over Dennis' personnel file and he has had some...
...stellar performance reviews up until very recently.
Letting him go wasn't an easy decision.
Dennis, he seemed distracted.
The problems at home maybe.
You told us that you were at the bank that morning.
Yes.
Yeah, I like to come in early. Get some work done while it's quiet.
Did Dennis know that you like to come in early?
Everyone did.
Could he have been there to see you?
I don't see why.
Quietest guy in the office.
Didn't bother anybody.
Didn't gossip.
You thought he'd be discreet.
But he wasn't, was he?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Does your husband know about your modeling career?
No.
Please.
Please, can we do this so he doesn't find out.
Angelica, I know what you're going through.
Office affairs, they happen, you know.
Maybe you wanted to break it off, Dennis didn't,...
...he was gonna use these pictures against you.
Threatened to show your husband. He shows up.
You have to stop him.
No. No, no, you don't understand.
Firing him was the obvious way to get him out of your life.
No, no. Dennis asked me to fire him.
It was his idea.
Why would he want you to fire him?
To protect me.
We were in love.
What was he protecting you from?
The hair sample she gave us is a DNA match.
The hair is hers.
The palm print is hers.
She was in the passenger seat of that car.
That's enough to hold her.
Those were real tears in there.
I see. And you know this because you're an actor...
...and you can tell when someone's acting?
No, I know that because I'm a human being...
and I can tell when someone's hurt.
I also know when someone's been waking up...
...on the wrong side of the bed for the last fifty years.
Prior illicit affair gone wrong.
Dirty pictures. Doesn't want the husband to find out.
That's the motive.
She was the only one there early in the morning.
This puts her in the car.
That's the opportunity.
Well, what about the means?
Isn't that one of the...
Criteria for establishing guilt.
What she said.
The means is a knife about yea big...
...and it's sitting in our evidence lockup.
I don't know, Chief. I'm with Harley on this one.
I don't think we're seeing the whole picture.
I see.
Well, allow me to zoom out for you, Detective.
Imagine this with me...
...you're gonna go back in there, and take her to a holding cell.
We are gonna gather all the evidence...
...and hand it over to the prosecutors.
She is going to get a lawyer,...
...there will be a trial,...
...a jury will convict and justice will be served.
Thank you so much for playing.
I mean...
Listen, Harley, I think he's wrong.
But the facts say he's right.
Hey.
Those addresses you wanted me to check out?
They don't exist.
What are you talking about? There were two mortgages.
Well, somebody mortgaged air,
'cause there's nothing there.
We don't have a lot of time.
And I'm not supposed to be in here.
You're about to be arrested for Dennis' murder.
I didn't do it.
I know. I believe you,...
...I just need some alternative facts.
Were you in that car?
Yes.
Yes. He came to meet me.
But when I left him he was alive and well.
What was he protecting you from?
Dennis...
...he did something very bad.
He didn't want it to fall on me,...
...so he asked me to fire him.
Okay. The mortgages that Dennis took out,...
...the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Those were fake, right?
Yeah but he wanted to return it. That's why we met.
What was the money for?
He wouldn't tell me. I, he said it was a surprise, I don't know.
Something about...
...making his childhood dream come true, I don't know.
I don't...
I'm sorry, Angelica. I'm going to be placing you...
...under an investigative hold.
You're gonna be here for a while,...
...but the first thing that you should do is get a lawyer.
You will help me, won't you.
I promise.
Okay...
"Dennis, you are my Higgins.
Love, Angelica."
Okay!
You have mastered the cortado.
It has mastered me.
That machine is possessed, Harley.
If you build it, they will come.
The clichÃ© that launched a thousand bankruptcies.
What do you want besides the masterful cortado?
What do you know...
...about this?
Who am I? Moe the Explainer?
Despite what you might think, Harley, I don't know everybody...
...in this town and their personal stories.
What's the deal with this theatre company?
They just appear out of the blue?
No.
No, they've been around for awhile.
Mostly worked in the park.
In fact, they did a nude version...
...of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
In the park?
There were protests.
No doubt.
You know what? I think they took over The Royal...
...on Main St.
It's a nice setup.
It's better than making all the mommies...
...and kiddies in the park upset.
How'd they manage to buy a space...
...and put on plays that make no money?
Government funding?
You know what Moe,...
...you've explained a lot.
You know what, that's free.
But the cortado's five bucks.
Put it on my tab!
Tab? What tab?
We have not discussed the tab!
Shirt.
I didn't scratch my nose.
- Seriously? - People actually pay to watch this?
No. It's an acting game.
- Stop it! - For what?
- Stop it. - Like all games, it's for children.
- Why are you doing this? - Why are you doing this?
- Why? - Why?
- I don't like this. - I don't like this.
- I really don't like this. - I really don't like this.
- I HATE YOU! - I HATE YOU!
I love you.
I don't believe you. Do it again.
I love you.
If you loved me, you would give me honesty on this stage.
It's what I want from all of you.
Not what you think I wanna see.
Not some affectation.
You must give me honesty from your souls.
We have three days until opening.
Get prepared or get out.
That was pretty harsh.
Hey...
...TV star.
He shouldn't treat you like that.
Trust me. It is good for us.
We need to go deeper to find the truth.
You don't need to be abused.
You don't need to infantilize me.
I'm a grown woman and Craig is a...
...genius.
He knows how to get the best out of people.
Or, counterpoint: He's a talentless bully who likes to puff himself up...
...by taking his insecurities out on you.
- I've seen it a million times. - Really?
And what do you know about the theatre?
Acting is acting.
Or is it reacting? I never could get that right.
You live here?
Yeah.
I like to work late and...
...it's quiet here.
Nobody bothers me.
Does Craig "bother" you?
I gotta... I gotta finish these props.
Closed.
Rehearsal.
You can leave your headshot at the front desk.
Detective Shaw.
I take it you run the place.
Craig Rykart.
Artistic director, general manager, producer.
And star of the show.
Our company doesn't believe in stars.
I'm merely a conduit for the talent around me.
Stars are only about themselves.
Ironic.
You mean like having the character on your show named after you?
Makes it easier to find my lines.
Hey, you're pretty harsh on your actors.
That crap you pulled out there would not be tolerated on my set.
It shows in the results.
What kind of results you get moving in on young actresses?
Okay, why don't you two hashtag it out on Twitter.
When was the last time you saw this man?
Dennis?
He came by three, four days ago.
He brought a gift to celebrate our new theatre.
Our theatre?
Dennis managed to put together...
...the financing to make this place a reality.
He tell you where he got the financing?
When a patron comes to you, check in hand, you don't ask.
Wh-what's going on?
Dennis Lemash is dead.
Someone killed him.
You said he brought you a gift.
What was it?
The gift.
It's in that box under the red scarf.
How was Dennis killed?
He was stabbed.
Three sets of prints were lifted.
One was traced back to the store clerk where these were bought.
The other two: Dennis Lemash and Craig Rykart.
Well, there were no prints on the murder weapon.
She was careful. I wouldn't expect the killer's prints...
...to be on the box.
Angelica Holander did not break into Rykart's dressing room...
...and steal a knife she didn't know was there.
Well, how do you know that she didn't know?
The same way you know she did.
- Those are both unknown. - I know.
He doesn't know.
Who knows?
My head hurts.
Look.
Murder investigations sometimes have loose ends.
- This is one of those. - Well, this is a big one.
Then tie it up.
Alright.
- Hey. - Hey, TV star.
Good thing you're here. Can I borrow you?
Sure. Cyndee Pratt. This is Detective Shaw.
Sam, this is Cyndee.
- Hi. - Hi.
Okay.
You're the right size.
It's kind of heavy.
Well, Craig likes to feel the weight of it when he's on stage.
Everything has to come from a real place.
It's what makes him so great.
Sure. Strap some C-4 on him.
That is real.
Well, C-4 is hard to get.
Yeah, there's that whole two day waiting period.
Totally bogus.
That's quite a collection you've got there.
Yeah. Thanks.
Rubber.
I make these myself.
We just need to ask you a couple of questions.
You heard about what happened to Dennis Lemash?
Yeah.
Yeah, he was stabbed, right?
Is that... is that a confession?
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I liked him. But...
...I didn't kill him.
Just didn't shed any tears either.
Did you ever see Craig and Dennis arguing?
Sure. I mean,...
...artistic directors and producers argue.
It happens.
What were they arguing about?
Money. Creative differences.
Yeah, I mean...
Dennis wanted to do more of the... the classics.
You know? He wanted to do a production of Macbeth.
But...
...Craig was more interested in making a political statement.
- Macbeth is political. - Was.
Four hundred years ago.
Solomon's Siege is about the Dreider Mine disaster and coverup.
Those bastards need to be exposed...
...and the theatre is the only way to do it.
Okay, look, no offense, but you know,...
...a small play that hardly anyone'd gonna see...
...isn't gonna really bring about justice.
Are you offering to get involved...
...TV star?
Because that might help our small play.
When's the last time you saw Dennis?
It was early,...
...like five in the morning early.
Craig was getting ready for the park performance.
Opening night, Dennis, is this weekend.
I'm sorry but this is just the way it is!
Dennis said something about going to the bank...
...when it was opening.
Get out!
There were some financial problems.
He wanted to return the money.
He wanted to give it back to the bank.
Did Craig follow Dennis out that morning?
I... I don't know,...
...but when I went to look for him,...
...he was gone.
Hey.
The detective has a few things she has to do.
It'll only be a minute.
Are you my babysitter, Mr. Carter?
No, no, no. I'm just...
I'm just trying to stay out of their way.
Cops, you know.
Why are you here?
Well, this is my home town.
No, no. No. Here. Doing this.
You know,...
...I'm gonna be honest with you...
I can't stand it on the show anymore.
Those people...
...are driving me crazy.
It's just the same thing over and over again, week after week.
Just say the same clever quips.
Same storylines.
Dead body at the beginning of the episode, Charlie Carter comes in,...
...guns blazing, catches the killer.
Demand more.
It's not that easy.
A lot of big companies make a lot of...
...big money on a show like that.
I-I'll be on these calls...
...from like, ten executives...
...in Beverly Hills just talking about what kind of shoes...
...my character should be wearing.
Yeah, nobody suffers like a celebrity.
Come on man, it's-it's not like that.
I'm just trying to relate here.
Actor to actor. You and I,...
...we're in the same boat.
You are not in my boat.
We are not even sailing the same ocean.
I believe in art.
I believe in beauty.
I believe in creating characters that connect...
...with people in a deep meaningful, honest place.
That is the theatre.
You made your choice.
You sold your soul.
I'm fighting for mine.
Is that what you and Dennis fought about?
What?
The guys with the money always think they know what's best.
He wanted to do the classics.
Solomon's Siege...
...is an important work.
It is going to be Brechtian in scope and power.
We are going to expose Dreider Minerals for who they really are.
The mining disaster.
Yeah, that they covered up. That they're still covering up.
Twenty of their top executives are coming to see it.
They bought out the first two rows for opening night.
Like they can intimidate us.
Dennis could silence you.
No money no new theatre. No opening night.
But Dennis didn't take the money away.
Because he never got the chance.
You think I killed him.
The murder weapon did come from your dressing room.
There are a dozen people in and out of that room...
- ...all day, every day. - Okay.
Where were you...
...the morning Dennis was killed?
At the park.
- Lots of witnesses. - No.
Before that. You left the theatre...
...and you followed Dennis to the bank.
No I didn't.
I walked out door and I saw Dennis drive away with Angelica.
You know Angelica Holander?
Angelica's our driving force.
She loves the theatre more than anyone.
Thank god!
I gotta get out of here.
I'm going stir crazy in here.
I'm done being charitable, Angelica.
Dennis didn't meet you at the bank.
You were with him at the theatre that morning.
You lied to us.
If the bank found out...
...what really happened,...
...that would be the end of my career.
I cannot afford to lose my job.
It was your idea take the money, wasn't it?
Yes.
Yeah, okay?
But Dennis wanted to return it.
And I agreed with him.
I did not kill him.
And we're supposed to believe you.
Go to the bank!
In the locked drawer of my desk, you will find them.
I filled out all the forms,...
...all the transfer slips needed to close out those mortgages.
They would all be paid in full. It is all in there.
And why didn't you process the transactions?
The bank wasn't open yet.
Dennis was murdered, and I'm in here.
Craig says he did not follow Dennis to the bank.
No, I didn't see him.
But there was someone there.
There was someone on the street.
A girl in a beret or something?
I-I-I didn't think anything of it.
Is that her right there?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure it was her.
That's Cyndee Pratt.
No signs of Cyndee Pratt at the theatre or anywhere else,...
...and Cyndee Pratt isn't her real name.
It's Cyndee Horvath.
Nice, Rafalaski.
Cyndee Horvath.
Arrested 2016.
Disturbing the peace. 2017. Arrested in Sudbury.
She threatened her mother with a kitchen knife.
Charges were dropped. Knife wasn't real.
Didn't Wes say...
...that the murder weapon had clay on it?
That's right.
Alright, so on our show we used to use rubber knives.
And our prop guy, Christopher,...
...he would make them by casting a molds of the real thing,...
- ...using - Clay.
We need to talk to somebody who knows her.
Her mother.
I haven't talked to my daughter in a year.
Why did she threaten you?
Wasn't much of a threat.
Enough for you to call the police.
Well, we got into an argument over college.
I set her up for a geology degree.
Full scholarship paid for by the company.
Smart girl like her coulda been running the mine...
...instead of digging underground like her mother.
Are we talking about Dreider Minerals?
Yeah.
I've been mining nickel my entire life for them,...
...just like my daddy before me.
There was an accident at the mine?
Two years ago.
Number three collapsed.
Company said it was a rockburst, but...
...we knew it was bad engineering.
I was trapped for four days.
They paid me to keep my mouth shut about it.
They're doing a play about it in Bishop.
Craig Rykart.
Showed up around here, interviewed me.
Filled Cyndee's head full of ideas about...
...how he was going to get justice through art.
She decided to run off with him.
Girl half his age.
Hey, what is this stuff?
Ammonium nitrate.
I'm gonna blow these rocks to smithereens.
You keep this stuff around here?
Are you gonna report me?
I got a blasting license from the mine.
It's all legal.
Does Cyndee know where you keep this stuff?
Your company...
...buried the truth
...along with those bodies.
You think a stack of money...
...is the equal of a human being.
What the hell is going on?
We're having a dress rehearsal.
Everyone needs to exit the theatre calmly.
The officers will help you out.
This is ridiculous.
Do not move, Mr. Rykart.
You need to stay perfectly still.
Where's Cyndee?
I'd like to know too. She abandoned me.
Raise your arms in the air.
Slowly.
For God's sake.
Cyndee isn't anywhere in the building,...
...so her mother must have tipped her off.
You're saying she's a terrorist.
Just a confused girl.
Who knows how to make a real bomb?
That's what we think, yeah.
She wanted to blow me up.
You, and the first two rows of...
...Dreider Mine executives on opening night.
Yeah, that's a terrorist.
That doesn't sound confused to me.
Alright, let me ask you something.
In the back of the props room, with a girl half your age?
How many soulful acting lessons were you giving her?
- Alright, alright. - No, no, no. I'm just saying.
She's confused girl. And you're a dick.
Did she kill Dennis?
It's looking like it.
When he pulled the plug on the play.
She must have followed him to the bank.
She waited until he was alone.
There were no signs of struggle,...
...so she must have caught him by surprise.
What are you doing here?
Okay, so... so Cyndee's out there, carrying around a bomb.
Do I need protection?
Keep the acting lessons in your pants, Craiger.
Cyndee Horvath, AKA Cyndee Pratt.
We need everybody looking for her.
Airport. Bus station. The actors' homes,...
...anyone she may have known.
Sudbury police have already been notified.
And if we see her?
Proceed with caution.
She is very dangerous.
It's Dave, leave a message.
Hey Dave.
I know you think this machine was all about me.
But really, it was for you. Just...
keep it at home if you want.
I don't care...
Hey, TV star.
I booked us an amphitheater.
Are you ready for the performance of your career?
I can't get ahold of Harley. Just voicemail.
- Are you sure she said amphitheater? - Yes,...
...but there isn't an amphitheatre anywhere around here.
Well she's not going to take him back to the Beamlight.
Hold the phone.
You said she was pissed off at Dreider Minerals, right?
- You think she'll go to the offices? - No.
They have an abandoned mine about twenty minutes outside of town.
And there's a pit at the entrance.
- Like a natural amphitheatre? - Exactly.
- Come on. - Alright.
I talked to your mom.
She's worried about you.
Did she tell you she's dying of lung cancer?
No.
Toxic gas was released in the collapse.
She was breathing it in for four days.
There were three dead around her, one of them was our neighbor.
They gave my mother money...
...to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
Those bastards, they paid her off...
...to shut her up about her own murder.
How is blowing me up going to solve anything?
Twenty executives from the mine were coming opening night.
I was going to use the bomb to hold them hostage...
...until they admitted what they did.
Just like the play.
You killed Dennis because he was gonna stop the play!
I didn't wanna do it.
I didn't have anything against Dennis.
I just needed to get to opening night,...
...but Dennis was gonna ruin that.
Come to the station.
Make a statement.
I'm sure the press would love to hear about Dreider Minerals...
- ...and everything that they're done! - Right.
So it gets buried in the local newspaper?
I don't think so.
I want the world to know.
We're gonna livestream.
Right now.
This is a message...
...to the board of directors of Dreider Minerals.
You will admit...
...to your negligence...
...in the collapse of mine number three.
You have ninety minutes...
...to meet my demands...
...or Harley carter will die for your sins.
Did you read it?
I read it last night.
Did you memorize it?
A neat little trick I have.
Monologue in act three.
Perform it for our viewers.
Show me what you got, okay?
Show me what kind of actor you really are.
- You've made your point. - I'm sorry,...
...did you want me to take an hour off that timer?
No. That's an emphatic no.
Okay.
Get out of my eyeline.
Action.
Who are you men?
That take your seats at the boardroom table...
...and think that the world should bend to your specification?
For what, money?
Power? Ego?
To you, the miners are...
...points of light...
...in the dark abyss, merely underground fireflies.
An inconvenience.
You don't know their struggle.
Their joy.
All the love that they gave, gone,...
...because all that matters in your world is you.
Who are you men...
...that are blind...
...to the wonders of life around you?
They matter.
You matter.
- What about the rest of it? - He's done.
Drop the gun and turn off the timer, Cyndee.
Come on, Cyndee.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you Cyndee.
Okay.
No, no, no. She knocks it down to 1:30!
You're gonna put the gun down...
...or Harley Carter is dead.
No, no, no!
Just take it easy!
Let's talk about this, okay?
Harley!
Harley stop!
There's no way to stop it.
Get the hell out of here!
Harley, don't be an idiot!
We can cut the wires.
Red wire? Green wire?
There's no time!
Fifty fifty!
Harley, stop!
Harley, just stop!
Harley!
Get off me!
Stop moving! Stop moving, you meatball!
Pull the green one.
The green ones always work on the show,...
...just pull the green one. Go!
It worked!
It worked! How'd you know that would work?
Well it worked on your dumb coffee machine!
Alright, get me out of this thing.
Hey.
You're a stupid idiot.
- What were you thinking? - I don't know.
I don't know. Look,...
...I-I might not be able to save the world,...
...but at least I can save my little piece of it.
Should've pulled the green one.
We managed to avoid a major incident in our town.
And I mean major.
Do you all want to know how?
By not making presumptions.
Because when you presume...
- You press you against me? - No.
You get tunnel vision.
Now...
...Detective Shaw here...
...avoided tunnel vision.
She didn't presume.
She followed all the leads.
She saved our town.
I think Harley had something to do with it.
Modesty didn't save the day, Detective.
Good police work did.
And let that be a lesson to all of you.
Good work, Carter.
Well, I guess that will have to do.
Around here, that is like winning the Academy Award.
No.
It's better.
