Saint X (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Desmond cousin hook we up
with a meeting with One-Eye Mike.
One-Eye Mike a real drug dealer?
You and Alison, you guys
are, like, together, right?
- Yes.
- Cool.
Maybe see you here sometime.
Maybe.
Listen, Edwin be trouble.
I urge you stay away from he.
I don't really like
being told what to do.
How you gonna compete for Sara heart
when little Keithley be buying it?
Would it be possible to meet up
so I could get my phone back?
There's a restaurant Little Sugar.
- Emily.
- My sister's murder
was headline news for a year,
and sometimes it feels
like the whole world knows
more about what happened
to her than I do.
There's no good answers out there.
What the boy say?
Nothing useful.
They all went drinking
and drop she at the hotel.
If they done something,
if they even get named,
the implications for the island
do you think they could have?
I must've picked up
Gogo, Edwin, and they friends
maybe 100 times before
never saw it as punishment,
never even wrote them up,
just tryin' to protect them
from they own young, stupid selves.
The first 99 times,
them joke with me, them
laugh, them chitchat.
This time,
silence.
And that's how I know.
Mr. Mayor, hello.
Roy, answer your damn radio!
They found her
on Faraway Cay!
Murda'?
On this island?
Do not say that word again.
And we are so fucked.
Do you have any idea how fucked we are?
Fix this, Roy!
Fuck.
Hey, there he is.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I'm starving.
Last night was, uh
Worth repeating?
Mm.
No, no, I made breakfast.
Let's just sit. No.
I know what you're trying to do, okay?
Let me just please,
let's just talk, okay?
Why have you been at the office so late?
What's this work crisis?
Mm, it's just bear drama,
or lack thereof.
Half of them went into
hibernation early, so.
- I'll figure it out.
- Em.
This, uh, bear job was
supposed to be chill.
It is chill. It's temporary.
- It's fine.
- Then what is it?
Because you seem kind of tense, Em.
Okay, I know that you're
going through something.
I can hear you pacing
in the middle of the night.
Okay? So please talk to me.
Okay, but
Don't freak out.
Lately, I've
I haven't been able to
stop thinking about Alison.
She was the most important person
in my universe, and for 20 years,
I've never allowed myself
to wonder what actually happened
why those men took her from me,
took her from my family,
and now that I've started, I just
I just I can't I
can't shut it off, you know?
I went into a similar
spiral after Miranda died.
I was like, "Why did she
get cancer and not me?
Why didn't we catch it sooner?
What else could my parents have done?"
It's dangerous to question,
because it doesn't change the outcome,
and it doesn't stop you
from missing her every day.
Okay.
What?
I just thought we were talking
about my sister and not yours.
I'm just trying to connect.
You know how Miranda died.
You were with her when she died.
She was surrounded by love to the end.
My sister was raped and murdered,
and no one had to explain why.
You didn't have to
wonder in the same way!
So to be honest, it's a
bullshit fucking comparison!
Why the pickney still with we?
Sara's not home,
and I couldn't leave he with she mom.
So Sara been out all night?
With Keithley?
That no surprise.
Keithley been Keithley been
wantin' she since grade school,
and that sket been threatening
to get back with he for months.
Don't call Sara a sket.
So what we gonna do with that?
Drop he at your grandma?
She's not home today,
so he gonna have to come
to Indigo Bay with we.
Oh, no, he not.
I go to ask Bery to watch he.
And then what?
We got big One-Eye meeting tonight.
Sara will be back by then.
She best be.
Stephen! How we today?
I'm not advancing your paycheck again.
Oh, man, just, uh, want to catch up.
How are the little ones?
Last I seen Jeffrey,
he scoring many goals on
the school soccer team.
And the wife, she still
work at the hospital?
She wants another pickney.
Stephen, you a hard worker.
Give your wife a girl.
You know, making she will be fun.
Bery, there you are.
No, Gogo. Oh, no.
I love he, but no.
I don't want to get in trouble.
Remember in grade school
when you break your arm,
and I carry your books home for a month?
Please? For an hour or so.
I'm sure Sara will be here soon.
Ooh, where she be anyway?
She with Keithley?
Give he here.
Yeah?
Be a good boy and go play
with Auntie Bery, okay?
I owe you big time.
Okay, that that is not okay.
We paid for a private babysitter,
not day care.
One of us should go talk to her.
Honey, you should go talk to her.
Not to play that card, but I don't
What card is that, Greg?
Oh, I think he means the Black card.
Or should I say African American card?
You know what? I'ma get a shot.
- Get get us all some.
- White people being white.
Was that weird of me? I'm so sorry.
Mom! That's so reductive.
I just said, "Tyler's cute."
I was young once, too, you know?
I didn't say you weren't.
I know what it's like to be 19.
My freshman year in college,
I went to my first
consciousness-raising group.
I burned my bras, I came
home for winter break,
and I looked at my
housewife mom with new eyes.
And I was an asshole to her too.
I don't mean to be an asshole.
- I know.
- At least not to you.
Your dad is not the corporate
sellout that you think he is.
When I met him,
he was writing a science-fiction novel.
- No way.
- Yes.
- Dad?
- Yeah.
He never said that.
Commercial real estate
is not anybody's dream.
He did that to provide for our family
to give us this life.
He really missed you this fall.
He was hopin' to spend
some quality time with you.
He's just so tone-deaf.
Like, so sheltered.
So are you, Alison.
Yeah, but at least I'm, like,
trying to be better
to not be complacent, you know?
I mean, no offense to Dad,
but I don't wanna settle
for some second-rate dream.
I really wanna make a difference.
I love that you feel that way.
And if there's one thing
that I know about you, Alison,
it's that you can be
anything you wanna be.
Was all along Ms. Thomas was submerged.
DNA evidence will be impossible.
Though abrasions to the vulva
suggest penetration, we
cannot be sure of the
nature of the sexual act.
As for the two men of
interest in this case,
Clive Richardson
and Edwin Hastings,
they were seen leavin'
the bar with Ms. Thomas.
I, myself, found them
a mere two hours later.
There is no way the men
could've been in a boat
all the way to Faraway Cay,
hiked with Ms. Thomas to the waterfall,
and made it back in such
a short window of time.
Drugs were found in the
home of Mr. Richardson.
So he faces arraignment.
But let me be clear
we have determined the
death of Alison Thomas
was an accident.
Thank you.
I know what you did.
Thanks.
Clive, right?
Yeah.
I'm Emily, the one who lost her phone
in your cab a couple weeks ago.
Oh. Yes, hello.
Pepper pot and Carib, my dear?
Oh, I'll do the same, please
my treat.
No.
- Please
- No.
You'd be doing me a favor.
I've been feeling totally guilty
that you wouldn't accept my reward
after returning the phone.
Thanks.
Of course.
Thanks.
Can I join you?
It's really good.
It's kind of spicy.
I mean, that sounded dumb.
It's supposed to be spicy, right?
It depends.
Thank you for the meal.
Here you are, miss.
Let me know if you need
anything else, all right?
Perfect.
Goges, let's game plan tonight.
Yeah, I need to go check on Clive.
Shit, Goges, it gonna
just take a minute.
Fine, a minute.
I gonna do the talkin'.
You be the muscle.
That's all you got to do
look tough and not like
a heartbroken little girl.
Can you do that?
Des, tell Gogo
we'll be good with One-Eye Mike.
He lookin' scared.
Don't worry about it,
Goges. You with Edwin.
I not to be fuck with.
Hey, my cousin tell me
that One-Eye Mike not
what you expect, yeah?
He not to be fucked with neither.
What do you mean he
not to be fucked with?
Hi.
I was looking for you by the firepit.
I thought maybe you'd be on break.
Too busy for break today.
That seems not okay. Is that even legal?
You should go play croquet
with your little friends, miss.
Okay.
I'll catch you later.
- He's so cute.
- That he is.
What did your cousin mean by that?
I just giving you a little
friendly advice, yeah?
Shit, Bery.
Ah, what you bring he here for?
Ms. High and Mighty
and that ass, Keithley, out front.
I had a lovely night and an
even better morning with you,
but my wife come back in town tomorrow.
Perhaps I can sneak away this weekend.
That sound great.
I look forward to it.
He not even gonna drive you home?
Oh, it's not far. I can walk.
Baby, I missed you.
You've been a good boy?
Oh, thank you for watching he.
Why you with him when
you know he married?
Because he shows up for me.
He there when I need someone to talk to.
He probably would have been
there for the birth of his son.
Sara, please.
Do you know how I felt that night?
19, alone in a hospital.
Where were you?
Out liming with your friends?
How many times I say sorry for that?
Can't you see I'm trying to do better?
I want we to be a family.
We did not even date.
We had a few kisses when we kids
and then that one night behind my house,
and I glad it brought
me my beautiful boy,
but other than that, it was a mistake.
No don't say that.
It not a mistake.
I love you.
Clive.
Why do you not see that
what we have is not love?
It is obligation.
Hi! Hi!
That me daughter who
just walked in here?
Hi, Mom.
I see you've been cleanin'.
Well, me daughter waste she
life in a married man bed.
Oy, she hitting below the belt today.
What would your father think to see ya?
A minister's daughter slinking around
You a minister wife then?
Who keeps you home like so?
I'm going to change he sheets.
About a dead husband.
I don't care who he was! You're nothing!
Nothing at all! A sket!
You daughter a sket just like you!
Get out of here!
- You crazy!
- Don't talk about my
A minister marry you!
Don't talk about me baby girl!
Gogo?
Wh what happened?
It's me mom boyfriend.
He touch you?
Your mom?
Sara, she do not deserve that.
You do not deserve that.
You're smart.
You're beautiful.
You you a minister's daughter.
Maybe.
I never knew he.
You be like that flower in your hair.
You stand out
not just ordinary
special.
For fuck sake.
Can you hear me practice
it one time, Goges?
This we shot. We don't get another.
You still have Sara in your head.
I see it. To hell with she.
Don't start about Sara.
Why you defend her?
She run she pumpum all over the place
and treats my Goge like
she own personal babysitter.
That's what you be.
Dumb fuck, she can dump
she pickney up for free.
I messed up.
If I set she up like she
deserve, maybe we a family.
It's some real fuckery
what she make you think.
You were out with she one
time. What you owe her?
She the mother of my child.
For one fuckup,
you're supposed to work your ass,
give all your bread to she,
be faithful, and mope around like a dog
while she kick you again
and again and again
Shut the fuck up!
I love she.
I'm out, man. You can walk back.
What?
Can't show up to One-Eye with you
bitchin' and whinin' in my ear.
- Are you for real?
- You can't show your face
lookin' like a cryin' pussy!
Open it. Fuck!
Fuck!
The evidence that cleared those two men
came directly from Detective Roy.
It's obvious he faced pressure,
because if the media
got wind that two locals
killed a young American,
tourism might tank.
But this was not an accident,
and everyone knows it.
Those men raped her
and murdered her.
Clive Richardson, Edwin Hastings,
we are not gonna rest
until we get answers,
until you pay for what
you did to our daughter.
- Hey.
- Where were you?
Sorry, MTA madness.
Oh, my God, I saw
this girl on the subway
that looked exactly like
your freshman roommate
the one with the snake.
What was her name?
- What?
- Josh texted me.
He's worried about you.
Well
What did you tell him?
I said, "Yes, Josh, there
is a big bear calamity
in a job where there
is never a calamity,
and no, I'm not worried
Emily's obsessed with her dead sister."
I covered for you.
Well, there's nothing to worry about.
Bullshit.
This is about him.
I know it is, and you are
gonna come clean right now.
I was hopin' we could
talk about your product.
Um, I knew that if we joined forces,
it would be a mutually
beneficial business venture.
- I work at Indigo Bay
- What a five-letter word for a meaty flavor?
Jackson says he know you.
- I don't know he.
- Too bad.
Because he wants to be friends.
He say he like you.
See
we only sell to friends.
Isn't that right, Jackson?
Edwin, how you mess
your good shirt already?
This is church. Fix yourself.
Cousin Johnny not tucked.
You do not want to end
up like Cousin Johnny.
Look, I tuck.
I'm handsome again.
Ah, that's my boy.
Go on. I see ya at home.
Go.
Hey, Goges.
Why you so sad?
Someone needs to stop him
from making their lives miserable.
I know where my gran hide she machete.
That is for she mother to sort out.
You gonna do nothing.
Promise?
Promise.
Never have I ever played cello
in the Yale Symphony Orchestra.
The whole point is to say
something you haven't done.
Here, watch me do it.
Um, never have I ever found
a way to work my S.A.T.
scores into a conversation.
So you would drink, because you did that
to me yesterday.
You've done that?
Never have I ever
masturbated on an airplane.
Wait, no, no, better one.
Never have I ever masturbated
while listening to Coldplay.
So one's the better one, for sure?
- Wait, no.
- Oh, my God.
Pick one.
Never have I ever had a threesome.
We are so fucking lame.
Do you need some?
Can't hog all of them, you know?
- 'Scuse me?
- The boys.
I saw you flirting with,
you know, the cute towel guy
this morning. Now you're all into Tyler.
I mean, even Wes in
his stupid stoner way
is drooling for you.
Can't take 'em all.
You should put some on.
Your shoulders are getting burnt.
Hey, um
Olivia.
Right, sorry.
Um, I think your mom needs a hand
or, like, a detox.
Jesus, Mom.
This is even crazier
than I could've imagined.
You had a fucking meal
with Clive Richardson?
In a public space.
That does not make it okay.
I mean, why would you not tell me?
'Cause I thought you'd fucking kill me.
Yeah, well, I might.
Em, this man is a rapist.
- He's a killer.
- I know he is.
Then why?
Because that fucker has all the answers
to every question in my life.
I'm going to get him to tell me them.
Gogo!
Gogo!
Who said that?
Don't come near me!
Who's Gogo?
That's what they called
him back at the resort.
I don't remember a lot about that trip,
but I remember how he tricked us
into befriending him
when that whole time, he
I need to know why.
What kind of person
I'm gonna make him trust me,
like he made her trust him.
Okay, this is nuts.
I mean, you could get yourself killed.
If you're doing this,
you're not doing it alone.
I'm doing it.
Is your mom, like, one of those
white wine alcoholics,
or is she more of, like, a tonic
Yeah, I don't wanna
talk about it, obviously.
- Was she ever into pills
- Can you fuck off?
Like, I mean it. Okay?
Hi, I'll, um, I'll
have what she's having,
and she'll have another.
Thank you.
Yeah, you don't have to buy me anything
or be nice to me,
just because my mom is a train wreck,
and I am a pathetic mess.
I'm not being that nice,
and I'm not buying.
My parents are, so.
Like, the way you've
been acting towards me,
seems like you think that
I have it all figured out
or something, but I really don't.
I'm good at getting attention from guys,
but it doesn't mean anything.
I promise you, I, too,
am a pathetic mess.
Bullshit.
Okay, so I, um,
still sleep with a night light,
and, um, I get so stressed out
during exams that I pull my hair out.
- Really?
- Yeah, I have a bald spot.
Do you wanna see it?
Yeah.
Do you see it?
Yeah, okay, that
yeah, that's pathetic.
- Thank you.
- All right.
So, um, who do you like more?
Tyler or the pool boy?
Do I have to choose?
- We're on vacation.
- Yeah, right.
I really do like them both.
I do.
Tyler's cute and genuinely interesting
in a not obvious way,
but Edwin's not just hot.
He's a grown-up. You know?
He's had experiences I
could never dream about.
He's, what, only a few
years older than us?
And
I don't know. You can tell he's lived.
Yeah, but your parents
would freak out, too, huh?
Which would be an added bonus.
I don't honestly think
it's a thing anymore,
because earlier, he just,
like, totally blew me off.
I mean, that makes him
even more appealing, right?
Right.
Desi.
That's what the ladies call me.
The ladies call me Desi.
- So?
- I got the coke.
Why you not tell me
One-Eye Mike an anti-man?
What the hell I supposed
to know about it?
Creep flirt with me. It was disgustin'.
Fuck you.
Uh, fuck you.
What are you doing here, Edwin?
- You have a problem.
- So?
I can take care of it.
You're only 14.
You could not possibly
take care of this.
Let's just say I have a way.
Right, you a mobster like your cousin?
Maybe.
You a fool.
And why would you do anything for me?
I will want something in return.
I don't have any money.
I know that.
If I do this,
you can never be with Gogo.
Gogo?
But why do you even care?
It the queen from the land West Chester.
So you're talking to me now?
- Baby.
- What?
I haven't had ten
minutes alone with you.
I know.
Somebody got to tell this
woman to stop invitin' herself
on our vacations,
and it needs to be
you, and you know why.
- Why?
- Because you're white.
Touché. I will.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Oh, thank you.
You look even hotter than usual.
Thank you.
What?
I'm just really enjoying my vacation.
Wait.
You sold your soul for nothing.
I'm going on 20/20. Your
island is ruined anyway.
When Alison went missing,
I thought she was playing
a game or something.
And then when they
brought her body back,
it suddenly
became very real,
and everything else felt very unreal.
Like suddenly, everything
I believed was wrong.
Like it was upside down.
And I think I've I
I've always felt like that.
Yeah, but Emily, when you act like
somehow my loss is less
painful than yours
I mean, it feels so
Unfair.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
So what does it mean you're
thinking about Alison?
You're looking into it?
The internet, the articles?
Is there anything else?
I will tell you. I just can't right now.
I just am not ready.
Can't say that doesn't hurt.
I know. I'm sorry.
Okay, I guess I'll
get back to work then.
Gogo
Gogo
Gogo
Gogo!
Woof!
My sister was murdered.
I just want answers.
You're a New York cab driver.
I mean, I'm sure you've
got a ton of crazy stories.
A few.
Play one game with me, tell me a few.
And the thought of you spending time
with that man, I just
Hey, it's gonna be fine. I got this.
- I wanna see more of you.
- I'm working.
You go spend some time
with that college boy.
Just get the feeling
he's making fun of me.
Poor Alison one of her suitors isn't
worshipping the ground that she
walks on in a suitable fashion.
Exactly.
- Why my sister?
- Some things are inexplicable.
I've been thinking
about how unfair it is
we still don't have answers.
You know what, Em?
I'm sorry that your sister died,
but you're not eating,
you're not sleeping.
I'm outside his apartment.
I just need to figure
out how to get inside.
Oh, my God, do you hear yourself?
Your lucky day, big man. I
got a big surprise for you.
No.
All you need to do is hold the drugs,
and you will get 10% of my profits.
I stopped going to Dr. Norton.
Wasn't she helping?
I don't need to go to therapy
to fix what's wrong with me.
I need to fucking know
what happened to my sister.
My life was ripped apart.
Do you know what that's like?
I know the feeling of being
ripped apart.
