Curon (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

1
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Anna.
I understood everything.
Mom.
It's happening to you, too.
Bar all the doors.
-Lock yourself in and be quiet.
-Dad, what's happening?
Anna!
Anna.
Please, don't do it!
Don't do it. Please, no!
Daria, you're disgusting.
This is like the  umbilical cord.
What are you saying?
There are always two cords.
Mine was longer.
Boys usually say that.
-I don't see any boy here.
-Daria, enough.
When we exit the tunnel,
look to your right.
-If we make it out alive.
-I'd say you got back at me enough.
I've just started.
You're 17, dammit.
You should understand.
I do.
Moving away so suddenly is fucking stupid.
I'm not asking you to be happy,
but to understand me for once. Can you?
But then explain, Anna.
Why Curon? Didn't you say
you didn't want to come back?
I haven't been back for 17 years.
I don't know where else to go.
There's the old village under the lake.
Yes.
What remains of it.
Why did they submerge it?
Mom. Count down.
Five.
-Four.
-Not this shit again.
Three.
Two.
One.
Steady.
Mauro.
Could you close the window?
-Close it.
-Mauro.
-Close this fucking window!
-Mom!
-Are you all right?
-Yes.
I'm sorry.
-You made me lose the drone.
-What?
-Congratulations!
-Are you serious?
That's enough!
-Daddy!
-Forget this hell.
It's exactly the way I remembered it.
-It looks like a castle.
-It kind of is.
The Empress of Austria used to come here.
-And it was ours then?
-Always.
There isn't a living soul.
Wait here.
What a fucking place
Who are you?
Hi, Dad.
Wait for me here.
They're disturbing, right?
He makes them.
-What should we call him?
-Krampus.
He means your dad.
I don't know.
Thomas.
So we'll live here.
Get off your phone.
Come.
-I'm sorry for showing up this way.
-You can't stay here!
What?
-Are you kicking me out again?
-No.
Because you don't live here anymore.
We haven't met for ages
and you don't even ask why we came.
You'd be running away from that asshole.
I don't want you in Curon.
What would you like?
Mom, where will we sleep?
We'll find an hotel.
Aren't you hungry?
Yes, very.
Your father is an asshole.
I believe that grandma killed herself.
I apologize.
I'm tired.
What's happening? Do you know him?
So? What shall we have?
The usual blackout.
Mauro, take the flashlight.
Nothing has changed in this place.
Let's go.
You stay with me tonight.
But you leave Curon tomorrow.
Why all these candles?
Mostly, why all these crucifixes?
It's scary.
To keep the shadows away.
-What do they eat?
-Everything.
Except hazelnuts
because Mauro is allergic.
Mauro.
I was locating the drone.
I'll get you the sweater, it's cold.
Are there boats to ride on the lake?
If you dropped something in it,
consider it lost.
No, my drone floats, I built it.
Anyway, never go near the bell tower.
Understood?
It's your daughter's doing.
Take it out on her.
This idiot and I have your nose.
Only that, I hope.
Come on!
Turn around.
You've broken so many zippers.
Come on, Mom.
It's cold.
It would warm me up, too.
There you go.
-Who is it?
-Nobody.
-Let me see.
-Mom
Let me see!
Your father, I knew it.
Block him immediately.
Did you get one too?
-I don't use social media.
-Did he write to you?
I’ll check if you give back my phone.
He can't find out where we are.
And forget about he lake.
Daria.
Daria.
Daria.
-I had just fallen asleep.
-There is something above us.
There is no way I'm sleeping now.
Did you hear what I said?
Is there someone in there?
What are you doing?
There's something in there.
I heard some noises
and water was coming out.
The hotel is falling apart.
It's just leakage.
What about this?
Do you hear it better now?
What's that?
A pacemaker.
Daria.
Daria.
Daria.
Mom!
And that?
Mom, I'm 17, you can't come in like this.
Don't be ashamed.
At least it won't get you pregnant.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't sleep,
there's this fucking wind. Then
Then?
Then the same nightmare.
It's always interrupted at the same point.
I'll take this.
Let's go to bed.
Do you want to sleep with us?
-But we turn off the light.
-Okay!
Good night.
Good night.
Good night.
What's with those faces?
A new life begins today.
I'll take you to the Valley of the Sun
on the weekend. It's cool!
It's my secret place.
Mom, there's no need for excuses.
We're here now.
No. All right.
You haven't seen anything.
Wait before judging, okay?
Why does Grandpa have a pacemaker?
Did he tell you?
I can't believe it.
You should never come down here.
Why didn't you tell me about the wolf?
I thought the howling was just a dream.
Where did you get it?
It took my dog, so I took it.
But it's dangerous.
I'm taming it.
It's a wolf!
Everything can be tamed.
Let's go.
Mauro.
So
Do you like it?
Would they have weed
or do they only smoke Ricolas?
What are Ricolas?
You really don't know?
Bye
Anna
Hi.
You haven't changed.
This is Albert, an old friend.
We've known each other since we were kids.
-Do I seem old to you?
-Sorry, it's an important day for them.
I apologize.
I didn't want to disturb anyone.
Come here.
Everything will be all right. Good luck.
Considering your father, we'll need it.
Were they just friends?
Let's worry about us.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Come tonight, all right, guys?
What's up?
You'll all come tonight, right?
-Sure.
-Hey.
What are you doing?
Hey, Gabri. Bro
-What the fuck are you doing?
-Answer next time.
Who is this bitch?
The one who made you fall
two seconds ago. Come.
Hey.
Introduce yourselves.
Come on!
Say the first thing
that comes to your mind.
I'm Mauro
and I'm 17 years old.
And
That crucifix is horrible.
But I know you all
are obsessed with them.
Crucifixes are really disgusting to me.
Because they're sad.
And so is this place.
And so are you.
I don't think we can get along.
Break a leg, guys.
I forgot
My name is Daria,
I don't remember any of yours.
Good. Let's begin the lesson.
Well, it wasn't that bad.
Finally
You didn't say you're deaf.
What the fuck are you doing?
-Give it to me!
-Let her go!
Give it to me!
Fucking bumpkins!
No doubt they're assholes,
but we could have begun better.
It's like in prison.
It you don't get respect, they'll eat you.
-What do you know about prison?
-I saw Orange Is the New Black!
If this isn't a prison,
what the fuck is it?
Are you sure it's there?
The GPS says it, not me.
-How do we get there?
-Wait.
I know how.
Hi.
Can we rent one, please?
I give nothing to the Rainas.
You're the scum of Curon.
Come on.
We'll fool that jerk.
How could he know us?
Just leave it.
We'll take the pedal boat.
Tonight.
-Do you promise?
-Yes.
Promise you won't tell about today?
Thanks.
But it'll come out.
The mountains have echo.
Let's go.
You also enrolled them in school.
You can't stay in Curon.
What's the big deal?
-Mom
-No, Mauro. Not now, later.
We'll have a look around later.
Tell them.
Do as you wish.
You'll go back to Milan tomorrow.
-Really?
-No.
But dress warmly.
Sure.
I can handle him.
It's like 20 degrees Celsius
in Milan tonight.
It's the smog.
I miss that, too.
I miss
Benny,
Chiara,
Enrico
The toilet that keeps breaking.
The teachers.
Daily news about Rogoredo.
I even miss Rogoredo!
And you?
The drone.
Gosh, Mauro, always this fucking drone.
Keep walking.
Rainas!
Are you going Downtown
for a drink?
You're both deaf
So the kid can hear.
-Stop it, Giulio!
-Me?
-Davide's nuts are still in his throat.
-Do you want to see them?
Today wasn't enough?
Excuse them. They're assholes.
You did well today.
Are you coming to the party?
Thanks, but we have plans.
Nope, come on!
Don't worry,
I can keep these assholes at bay.
And the DJ?
-That music…
-No, trust me. The party is cool.
Get in?
You promised.
I know, we'll go after. I swear.
We can't always look like assholes.
They're the assholes.
With assholes,
you can't always be an asshole.
Did you also hear that
on Orange Is the New Black?
Maybe.
-We're coming.
-Yes? Get in the back.
Daria, come on, let's dance.
Let's go.
Mauro, come.
Micki, it's beautiful.
What if we go tomorrow?
Later, Lukas. Just let me dance a little.
-What's wrong with you?
-Nothing, I want to have fun.
All right.
-How long have you been together?
-Us?
-Yes.
-No, he's my best friend.
The mausoleum?
What is it?
It's a war bunker.
There's a lot of them here.
Mussolini feared an invasion
at the Austrian border, you know.
But they never arrived.
On the other hand, you arrived.
How's the music?
"Danceable."
You don't look like twins.
We are heterozygous.
Who popped out first?
Daria.
But I was closer to my mother's heart.
And what does that mean?
Daria.
-Please, let's go.
-Another five minutes, please. I swear.
Thanks.
Try as much as you want,
I won't change my mind.
Are you sure?
What's wrong with your heart?
It's all right now.
That night, you were scared too.
Look at me, I'm here. I'm back.
I tried to forget like you said,
but I couldn't.
I always have the same nightmare.
Mom, blood
And I'm holding your rifle.
Why am I holding it?
Your mom was dead
before she shot herself.
Every fucking day, she made you cry.
And me, too.
-Why was she like that?
-Because her mother was like that.
So am I also like that?
The kids need you,
and you bring them here?
Yes, because I need you,
I need to understand.
-That's why I came.
-You can't raise them in Curon!
Your nightmare would become their own.
We're going to the lake.
To do a round of possum.
Do you know it?
Never heard of it.
Then come.
Maybe she doesn't want to.
Maybe it's too much for a city girl.
Bring something to drink.
Come with me, then we go.
I swear.
Fuck you, Daria.
Mauro
Mauro, where are you going?
You're drunk.
Come on, Daria. Let's go.
Come on.
How did you invent this game?
Out of boredom.
Actually, it was invented in New Zealand.
But they do it in the trees there.
So?
How does it work?
We get on here
We drink till we get hammered.
And we see who's left.
Okay.
Okay.
Another round.
For a city girl, you're a heavy drinker.
-Do you get bored there, too?
-Everywhere.
-Is everything okay, Daria?
-Peachy.
We can go down, if you like.
Fuck this damned opossum.
Are you joking?
I want to win.
I'll be the last one standing.
Do you see the bell tower?
-I would say so.
-Did you know there are no bells?
No.
Well, there's a legend here.
They say that some nights,
you can hear the bells ringing.
-Cool.
-Well, not so much.
If you hear the bells, you die.
Only you hillbillies
could believe this bullshit.
Another round?
No!
It's freezing!
There it is!
What the fuck?
It's the usual blackout.
Another round.
A wolf
What are you saying?
I don't know.
Maybe I drank too much.
Don't worry, it was only a bad dream.
Mom.
Who are you?
It's only a bad dream.
