Wild Cards

Previously on wild cards.

My brother daniel put those up.

You two are close, I can tell.

He left me everything he had, which was basically

Just this rundown boat and everything in it.

I did hear something that you'll be interested in.

It involves ellis.

The kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Tough luck for him, but I had to take him out.

Huh? Well, I heard the kid had a brother who's a cop.

Name is cole ellis.

Max, what are you doing here? You guys don't have a case.

They're setting up wi-fi in my condo,

Which interrupted my deep space nine rewatch.

Totally underrated in the star trek oeuvre.

I agree.

And what are you doing?

Oh, is this your brother?

Yeah.

Daniel's birthday today. Or, uh, would have been.

Okay. Binge watch. Canceled.

Let's do something fun for your brother's birthday.

Max.

What was his favorite thing to do?

Bowling. Log rolling. Taxidermy.

Please don't say taxidermy.

I was taking a private moment to reminisce.

And now I've got some paperwork to do.

Yates, we got a game for you. It's called paperwork.

Pass.

The only games I like to play involves surgical gloves.

Ew!

You're late again.

What am I supposed to do?

They moved my parking spot four blocks away.

I had to hoof it all the way here.

Do you know what that much exercise does to the body?

Nothing good.

Li's gonna be pissed.

Yeah, well, li's never gonna know.

Yates, you're late again.

Damn it.

Uh, sir... My parking spot...

Yates, what do I hate more than anything?

Um... Sardines. Babies. Corduroy.

Excuses. Just figure it out.

You don't work in the post office.

Copy. No problem.

Injustices abound.

Oh, ellis, there's a guy downstairs

That wants to talk to you, and he'll only talk to you.

Who is it?

I don't know, I didn't get his name.

Yates, seriously?

Oh, I'm sorry that my brain doesn't work so well

When my day involves excessive walking.

Hi, I'm detective ellis.

You're ellis.

Good. That's good, 'cause I... I... I... Um...

Oh, I really need your help.

Okay. How can I help you?

Ha!

Um, I can't, um... I can't tell you that here

Because there are too many listeners.

Oh, don't worry about me.

I'm like his emotional support dog.

Just, um, please, there's just no time.

Okay? We can speak in private. Right this way.

Are you taking him to interrogation?

Great idea. I'll secret watch.

Max. I'm fine. I don't need emotional support.

Tell that to mark.

There's danger.

There is so much danger, and only you can stop it.

Why only me?

Well, that's what jerry said.

Who's jerry?

He's my friend.

He told me to talk to you, only to you.

He said I would find you here on your...

On your boat.

How does he know where you live?

Um... Run me through the situation.

They're after me and my wife.

She's missing, and, I don't know, maybe they have her.

And if they have her, what am I going to do?

I just don't know what I'm gonna do.

Why would these people have your wife?

Because she knows too much.

Look, I want you to name three things in the room, okay?

What?

Three objects in the room. Name them right now.

Go.

Uh, table.

Pen.

Door handle.

Feel your breathing relax?

Yeah.

Okay. Now, I like you. I want to help you, all right?

So let's just take it slow.

Start from the top. All right.

Give me your full name.

It's, um...

I don't know.

You don't know your name?

No, I can't remember.

It's on his shirt.

Is it...

Lorne?

Maybe.

All right, let's try something different.

Um, what's your wife's name?

I don't remember that either.

Do you know your address?

No.

Lorne, are you on any kind of medications?

Maybe something that would affect your memory.

No, no, no, no, no.

I mean, at least no, I don't... I don't think so.

You don't think so?

Okay, look, we should pause this.

I need to get you properly examined by a physician.

No, no, no, there's no time. There's no time.

We need to talk to jerry.

He can answer all of your questions, please.

I know this might sound crazy, but no one is safe right now.

Listen to me.

They are... Everywhere.

Who are they?

Aliens.

This guy thinks aliens are after him.

I'll have a uni bring him to the hospital.

Sir, lorne's got some gaps in his memory, yes,

But I think this jerry guy might be his caretaker

Or his doctor or something.

Just let me look into it, okay?

If it doesn't pan out, I'll take him to the hospital.

We can run them through the missing persons database.

Why do you want to help this guy?

He came here looking for me, all right?

And he knows where I live.

I mean, maybe there's a connection I'm missing.

It's because of daniel, isn't it?

It's daniel's birthday today.

Look, daniel had this rule

That if somebody asked you for help, you never say no.

That's why he went into social work.

He wanted to help people.

So the fact that this guy came here looking for me,

Only me, on today of all days, I just...

I feel like I, at least, have to look into it.

And yates has already agreed to do his paperwork.

Look, I know it's been hard with daniel's killer on the run.

I called the federal officers

Working on the case every day, but still nothing.

I appreciate that more than you know, sir.

Take this guy to this jerry person,

If it's all bs, bring him to the hospital.

Yes, sir.

Max, you don't need to come. It's not a russo case.

And miss out on aliens. Yeah, fat chance.

Where are we going?

Uh...

Left turn.

Yeah. Yeah.

Now. Right turn.

Yeah.

Are you sure you don't remember jerry's address?

Just think for a sec.

I don't, but I know where I'm going.

Right turn.

Yep.

Heads up would have been nice.

Sorry.

You know, I want to hear more about these aliens.

What do they look like on a scale

From marvin the martian to predator?

Well, they go by the name of the three kings.

They've got, like, these huge antlers.

They're led by a commander named nevets.

Now, the only way to defeat the commander

Is to find the orb, which is located under cyprus.

Cyprus?

Yeah.

I've never been to cyprus. Pack my bags.

No, no. Listen, we have to find the orb.

We have to because it's the only way

We're going to defeat the aliens.

Do you understand?

That's the only way this is going to end.

And that's the only way that...

I'm going to get my wife back.

Okay, wait.

Yeah, this is it, this is it, this is it.

Hey! No, no, no, don't... Don't...

Those are the aliens right there, right there.

And we're going to find them right after this, okay?

Yeah.

I just need you to focus.

Can we just go quickly, please? Just hurry.
