Between (2015) s01e04 Episode Script

Previously on Between [Miller.]
Citizens of Pretty Lake, we have no choice but to continue the quarantine.
It's not over, Gord.
They lied to us! [Melissa.]
The Dukes are patrolling the town with guns.
Someone's gonna get shot.
- [gunshot.]
- [groans.]
[Gord.]
You got your vigilantes.
I'm just trying to keep everybody safe around here.
You're not doing a very good job.
If the power stays out, maybe we have a chance.
You said yourself, we could be stuck here for years.
Adam, don't! What the hell did you just do? Everything, including our kiss, was a mistake.
I was feeling sorry for you.
Maybe you're not so bad.
- Who are you? - Santa Claus.
[Adam.]
Chuck's sister was murdered.
Hey, look at the footprints.
I need your help.
They think I killed Lana.
[Stacey.]
What I have with Chuck is good.
And I'm not gonna throw it away for you.
You were with Ronnie.
I'm done with you.
Put your guns down.
Put them down! Never touch my sister again! Every day, I am looking after your baby.
Trust me, you are not gonna have to deal with me anymore! You can always stay at our place.
- Why not? - Why not? - [bell ringing.]
- [children laughing.]
Find the next Hemingway in any of those papers? Right now, I'm trying not to weep for the future of the English language or my ability to teach it.
These papers are awful.
Okay, Evan! Evan, stop.
- What? - I need to finish marking.
- And besides, what if somebody walks in? - [scoffs.]
Yeah, the fallout from the scandal will ruin both our careers.
[scoffs.]
I mean, can you imagine? "Teachers caught in rampant PDA during school hours.
" Obviously, you're well aware of the danger.
[Ms.
Symonds chuckles.]
Hey, uh, what What day is it? October 22nd, why? This is this is terrible.
It's your birthday.
I How could I have forgotten? It's okay.
Honestly, don't worry about it.
Oh, no, I, uh just remembered.
[chuckles.]
- Happy birthday.
- Evan! [Ms.
Symonds chuckles.]
Yes.
- [laughs.]
- Really? - [choking.]
- Evan? Evan! [gasps.]
Happy birthday.
[Pat.]
It's a great breakfast.
We should have you around more often.
[laughs.]
Uh, thanks for having me at all.
Felt like I had to do something.
- Ah, thanks.
- [baby gurgles.]
Oh, look at the little guy.
Aw.
What's his name? I haven't thought of one yet.
Morning, Ronnie.
Morning, everyone.
Sleep well? Yeah, best one I've had in weeks.
Yeah, it's that country air.
You, uh feel like going hunting? Seasons aren't open.
Yeah, well, last time I checked, all the game wardens are dead, communications are down, can't go into town.
So I'm going hunting.
You'll thank me for the meat if that quarantine isn't lifted.
Well, I've never gone hunting before.
I don't really think I'd be useful to you.
No, you'll be fine.
Come on, it'll be fun.
Uh, I have the baby and everything.
Tracey can watch the baby.
Uh, well, I was actually And suddenly you don't like babies? Is that - No, it's not that.
I just I was - Great.
Tracey'll watch the baby.
[Wiley.]
Yeah? - Really, you sure you don't mind? - [Tracey.]
Yeah.
Yeah, no, that's fine.
[Wiley.]
Okay.
[Ronnie.]
Awesome.
[Wiley.]
Thank you.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
- Why'd you take the kid? - Maybe you should go stop them.
Tracey, come on, he's our brother.
She'll be fine.
You've played the blood card before.
Welcome, sir.
In the mood for a new set of wheels? Are you sure about this? I heard Chuck's dad almost killed Ronnie for stealing one of his cars.
Yeah, and his dad's dead.
You think Chuck's gonna care? Besides, Ronnie told me they only got caught because of a tracker and no one can track us with communications down.
It's about time we started to enjoy ourselves.
- Get in the car.
- [car beeps.]
[tires screeching.]
[Felix.]
That idiot's gonna kill someone.
That's one of the cars from the Lotts' dealership.
Sweet car.
How fast do you think it goes? Excellent question.
There's really only one way to find out.
[chuckles.]
[panting.]
[overlapping voices.]
You wouldn't know the difference between right and wrong if it sat on your rich face.
I'm not gonna stand here and watch this town fall apart.
Are you mad at me? Never forget, you're a Lotts.
You never worked for a damn thing.
I'm trying to keep everybody safe.
I expect great things from you.
- This is stupid.
- We will get through this.
It's not over, Gord.
They lied to us! You're a Lotts.
Make us proud, son.
[panting.]
Hey.
Are you okay? Oh, uh yeah.
- What happened? - There was just a stray dog.
I think it was more scared of me than I was of it.
I tried to take it in and stuff, but it had other ideas.
- Big dog? - Uh, actually, it it was a Chihuahua.
[chuckles.]
What, do you think that's funny? Well, there's no part of that that's not funny.
[laughing.]
Yeah, I know.
Where have I met you before? Chuck, we had Chemistry, English, and Algebra together last semester.
It's Samantha.
Right, I'm sorry.
You just you look a little different.
Look How? Well, I mean, it's Yeah, I don't remember you.
I'm I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Different social circles, I guess.
Wasn't there that rule in the old world that the jocks could only talk to the cheerleaders? Right.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
And what about in the new world? I guess we seem to be making the rules up one day at a time.
All right, later, Chuck.
What do you think you're doing? - Excuse me? - My father owns this bar.
So technically, I own it now.
So what the hell makes you think you can just come in here and open it? I'm sorry, guys told me whoever owned it died.
Who exactly told you that? Listen, my mistake.
I'll just take my beer, I'll put it back in the truck and I'll be out of your way.
Wait! [sighs.]
Maybe we can work something out.
- [engine revving.]
- [laughs.]
[tires screeching.]
That was a close one! They've all been close ones! This is the coolest thing we've ever done.
- Brake, brake! - [brakes screech.]
- [toys clattering.]
- [Melissa sighs.]
Can you please just stop? And pick those up! Thank you.
Hi, guys.
Can you maybe just go take a time out over there for five minutes? Hey, sweetie, hi.
Where's the baby? I'm not sure.
Um, can you go line up? Yeah? Okay, thank you, honey.
Oh, God.
Hi.
Where's all your help? They just keep disappearing.
- Even Wiley? - Uh her and I got into a fight last night and she took off with the baby, and I kind of thought she'd be back by now.
Listen, why don't you get out of here for a bit? See if you can find her.
Looks like you can use a break and I'm pretty sure I can handle this myself.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hi.
I pooped my pants.
I did.
[groans.]
Ugh.
Idiots.
[Felix sighs.]
Come on.
[Vince.]
Hey! [Felix.]
Stop! No point in running! [Vince.]
Get back here! You guys are dead! [sniffs.]
[sighs.]
Pat.
Ronnie has an alibi.
[Adam.]
I'm not talking about Ronnie.
Look familiar? Not really.
This is Pat's baseball hat.
Suppose it is.
And? This puts Pat at the crime scene.
So, based on a mass-produced baseball hat, you're saying that Pat killed Lana? Gord, think about it this way.
Can I prove this is Pat's hat? No.
But does it reasonably put him under suspicion? [Gord.]
No.
For all you know, Lana liked the hat and Ronnie stole it for her.
Ever hear of Occam's razor? The simplest answer is most likely the right one.
No, and that certainly doesn't prove anything.
- But it's at least enough to - To what? We don't have a court of law, Adam.
We don't even have electricity, now Damn it, you're the smartest guy around here, but you're working for a dead girl.
How about you start working for the people left living? Gord, if she was murdered, then the murderer is still at large, and we're trapped in here with him.
I think that's reason enough.
[Felix sighs.]
What the hell were you guys thinking? You're lucky you're still alive.
For a second there, I thought we were going to die.
That was awesome! I don't know how awesome you're gonna think it is when Chuck hears about this.
Whatever.
You guys think you're, like, the police or something? Keep talking, tough guy.
Wiley? Wiley? [sighs.]
[sighs.]
No, I'm supplying all the beer.
We split the profits 75-25.
My bar, my taps.
50-50.
Well, I think my beer is doing all the heavy lifting.
50-50 or no deal.
Sure for now.
For now? Seems to me we'd have fun renegotiating if, you know, this all works out.
Well, I can drink to that.
Where are the kids? They're in the church with Ms.
Symonds.
Uh, you haven't seen Wiley, have you? No, everything all right? Yeah, I think so, but nobody's seen her since yesterday, and I was worried.
- Maybe she's with Adam? - No, no.
I was with him earlier today.
He didn't mention anything.
Where's the baby? That's the thing, is that she took him with her.
Any idea where she might've gone? - No, not really.
Maybe my uncle's place.
- Okay.
Franny and I will head out there.
- We'll take a look.
- You'd do that? Of course.
Thank you.
That means a lot.
[Wiley.]
Nah, it's insane.
Well, think about it.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
No, you're not gonna convince me it's even possible that all this was the work of terrorists, Ronnie.
Okay.
But if I do, will you drink a beer? Fine.
You're gonna lose.
- [laughs.]
- So [Ronnie.]
Okay.
So this virus is released, or whatever it is.
And who does it kill? Hmm? Every adult.
Everyone who's fighting age.
It's a perfect way to take out a nation's army.
We're fighting age.
Okay, so it doesn't take out everyone in the army, but just the ones with the most experience? So then no one would know what to do? Okay, let's say that's true.
Why was it only released in Pretty Lake? So that the government could prove that they could do it.
It's stage one of their plan.
Uh your argument is not airtight.
Ah, but it is possible? - Yes? [laughs.]
- Yeah, I guess.
All right, drink.
- Yeah, okay.
Sure.
- You said you would.
- [chuckles.]
- [beer can opens.]
[muffled laugh.]
[chuckles.]
[Ms.
Symonds.]
Marco! [kids.]
Polo! Marco! [kids.]
Polo! - Marco! - Polo! - [Melissa.]
What are you doing? - Melissa! I didn't expect to see you so soon.
How dare you bring the kids up here to play.
This is a church.
I'm so sorry.
I wasn't raised religious.
- I didn't think it'd be that big a deal.
- Well, it is a big deal.
This is a sacred place and now it's trashed.
That's why I never brought them over here.
- Okay, we can clean it up quickly.
- Sure.
Maybe you could fix all the wrecked Bibles at the same time? I was just trying to keep the kids entertained, okay? They're going crazy being in that room all day.
Thank you for the lesson, but I've been doing just fine without your advice so far.
Then they're all yours.
[sighs.]
[Chuck.]
So explain this to me again.
[Amanda.]
Yeah, explain this.
Easy, Amanda.
I got this.
You got this.
I should keep my mouth shut.
- I should keep my mouth shut.
- [laughs.]
You think this is funny? We thought that we'd just take it, then return it.
Honestly, we didn't intend to crash it.
We figured Stop.
You're not a cop.
Stop acting like one.
Let us go.
[sighs.]
- Excuse me? - They're not your cars.
They were your father's.
Stop pretending that somehow you're the law around here.
Listen, kid.
Right now, for lack of a better choice, I am.
You're just a kid like the rest of us.
Just because everyone was afraid of your dad doesn't mean we're gonna be afraid of you.
[sighs.]
Lucky for you, Harrison I'm not my dad.
I'm gonna give you two choices.
And you, as well.
You apologize and agree to do 30 hours of community service and we forget about this whole thing.
What's the second choice? [laughs softly.]
You still feeling tough? Still pretending to be a cop? Listen up.
This is what happens when you steal.
He'll be tied up here until he apologizes.
Then after that, 30 hours of community service.
Anybody that tries to free him will join him, you understand? Okay, tell your friends.
You stay here.
Make sure no one unties him.
When he breaks, you come get me.
[sighs deeply.]
Just say you're sorry, Harrison.
Screw you! I won't give him the pleasure.
[door opening.]
Can I help you with something? Um I was looking for some drugs.
What's going on? This guy wants some drugs.
Not any kind of drugs, just drugs.
So, why'd you come to us? Ronnie you know.
No, what? I'm sorry.
I should leave.
Not so fast.
Why don't you tell us why you're really here? Why so nervous? Nothing, um this was a stupid idea.
You came for Wiley, didn't you? Wiley's here? [scoffs.]
Come on, don't play dumb.
Just so you know, she came by herself.
Nobody forced her.
Can I see her? [Tracey.]
She's out with Ronnie.
I don't think she'll be back for a while.
Okay, um Can you tell her I came by? Sure.
Anything else? No.
Poor kid.
What are you talking about? Can't you see how disappointed he was to learn that his girlfriend was with Ronnie? You could practically see his heart break.
[Pat scoffs.]
At first, I could have sworn he was gonna steal your boots.
What? Yeah, I saw him from the window.
He was picking up your boots, looking them over.
I always kind of hated this place.
What? I always thought my parents bought a bar so that they could have a free place to drink.
I think they spent more time here than they did at home.
Were they bad drunks? My mom could handle her liquor, but, uh Dad not so much.
Violent? Yeah, sometimes.
Mine, too.
[door opens.]
- Is the bar back in business? - [Stacey sighs.]
Not for kids.
[boy.]
Seriously? [Mark.]
How old are you? Sixteen.
Hell, when I was 16, I was either drunk or high half the time.
How about you? Yeah, I partied sometimes.
So then who are we to tell these kids that they can't have a drink? Wouldn't that be totally hypocritical? And besides, money's money.
Yeah, okay.
But if anybody pukes on the floor, it's a $200 fine.
[Franny.]
Wiley's not here.
[Gord.]
Nope.
So what do you think about Melissa? Melissa who? Answer the question.
She likes you.
How could you possibly know that? She say something? Of course not, but it's kind of obvious.
- Seriously? - Yeah! Do you like her? Maybe.
Adam.
- Hey.
- Ms.
Symonds.
You're gonna have to call me Amy now.
Okay, Amy.
- Feels weird.
- [chuckles.]
You'll get used to it.
Mmm, have a beer.
Can you believe they're charging $50 a pitcher? They're actually taking money? - [scoffs.]
- What's the point? That there's hope.
That they can actually save for a future.
Cheers to a new economy.
What's wrong? Nothing.
You can tell me.
Okay, but you have to promise not a word to anyone.
Okay.
[Ronnie and Wiley laughing.]
[chuckling.]
Come on, have another.
No, I can't.
I've reached my limit.
Well, come on, you couldn't drink when you were preggo, right? It's time to catch up.
Wait, shh.
I think I hear something.
[Ronnie.]
Is it Bigfoot? The Sasquatch? [laughs.]
A Yeti? There's nothing out there, Wiley.
- [Wiley sighs.]
- Except for the stupid fence.
Hey, I have excellent hearing.
Oh, yeah? How's your eyesight? Hey! What, am I not good enough? Excuse me? You think you're better than me? No.
It's - No, it's not that at all.
- Well, what is it then? Look, I'm sorry if I if I gave the wrong impression.
And I appreciate everything that you've done for me, but I just - Just not good enough for you, right? - No, Ronnie.
I I don't know how to explain it, okay? Can we just hunt? Yeah, let's hunt.
We're making a killing.
When they lift the quarantine, we'll be loaded.
How much beer do we have left? [scoffs.]
Plenty.
That truck was full.
- I'd say we make a pretty good team.
- Yeah.
[Stacey.]
Mmm-hmm.
So, I have a question for you then.
How's that feel? It's been a long time.
Well, then I'd say we're due for a break, wouldn't you? - Yeah.
- [laughs softly.]
You're the boss.
I hope you're better than my last boyfriend.
That's why in the real world they have lawyers and courts and everything.
If you tell Chuck, Pat is dead.
It's as simple as that.
But what choice do I have? He's killed once, he'll kill again.
At least sleep on it.
And until then? We drink.
It's my birthday.
[glasses clink.]
You're 22.
Damn.
Yeah.
Damn.
- See? He's cold.
He's shaking.
- I said come get me if anything was wrong.
Look at him! Something's wrong.
- [breathing raggedly.]
- [Chuck.]
Harrison.
Hey, this could all be over, pal.
I just needed to teach you a lesson so that everybody around here wouldn't do the same stupid stuff you did.
Just apologize.
[groans.]
Big mistake.
We should head back into town.
I bet Wiley's already come back.
Yeah, we've run out of logical places to look.
Wait right here.
Sure, whatever you say.
[Gord.]
Hey! Hey, you okay? Where's my horse? What horse? Last thing I remember, my my horse got spooked and threw me off.
Hanna? You know her? Yeah, she went to our middle school.
I never saw you after that.
Figured you moved away.
Yeah, I remember you.
You know, for somebody that was out of practice, that was pretty good.
Well, you seem to have more than enough experience to make up for the both of us.
What? [sighs.]
Nothing.
We got work to do.
[Chuck.]
Are you Mark? [Mark.]
Yeah.
You are? From around here.
I mean you? Not so much.
That a problem? The problem is you selling to kids.
There are 12-year-olds that are drunk off their asses here.
I didn't want to.
Stacey said to do it.
She makes the rules.
It's her bar, her way.
- [sighs.]
That didn't take you long.
- [sighs.]
I think you should get out of here.
And I think you should go to hell.
This is one of the only places that your daddy doesn't own.
Come on, Stacey.
Selling to kids? Nice.
Listen closely.
When the quarantine gets lifted, you can have your bar back.
But until then you've lost that right.
Do you understand? Is this about Ronnie? No, this is, um this is about you.
Can you help me out here? I think I was pretty clear.
We shouldn't have been selling to kids.
That that's what I said! Lying won't help you.
And you're gonna believe this guy over me? Well, at this point, I'd believe anybody but you.
Don't make the same mistake twice.
[sighs.]
Okay, anyone under 18 isn't drinking.
- So you're not drinking.
- [kid.]
Aw, come on, man! How's your leg? You following in your dad's footsteps? What do you mean? Well, he all but ran Pretty Lake, right? Now you're taking over.
You know, when the quarantine is over, at least I'll know that I've done my part.
I'm I'm just trying to make sure no one gets hurt.
Well, does the noble sheriff have time for a drink? Or is he is he too busy saving the day? Well, that depends.
Are you buying? [scoffs and laughs.]
Yeah, right.
Hey, um, how much longer are we planning on staying out here? Yeah, well that's the thing about hunting is, uh the animals seem to run on their own timeline.
[sniffs.]
[Wiley.]
Okay.
Well, I'm freezing.
I cannot feel my toes.
And I really should be with my baby.
Maybe I could warm you up.
Nah, that's all right.
I'm not gonna die of frostbite.
- Come on, Wiley, stop pretending.
- Ronnie, God, seriously! I made myself pretty clear, okay? I'm not interested.
- Well, maybe I can make you interested.
- God, Ronnie! Quit! Stop it! Ronnie, stop! - Ronnie, stop it! - You're not better than me! - Stop.
- [Wiley gasps.]
[breathing heavily.]
Just lay down.
- [trembling.]
No! No! - Okay? - I know you want to.
- No! - I know you do.
- Stop it! Do it.
Okay.
Good.
- [Wiley yells.]
- [groans.]
Ronnie? [Ms.
Symonds.]
Yes! See that? Strike.
Again.
[Adam.]
Did you have a bowling alley in your basement growing up? [Ms.
Symonds.]
A couple, actually.
Now let's set up the pins so we can watch you fail spectacularly again, Mr.
Gutterball.
[Adam.]
I'm just purposely not trying because it's your birthday.
Aw, thanks, Adam.
You know, all things considered, this has actually been a really good birthday.
[laughs softly.]
[Pat.]
Adam.
I've been looking for you.
Ronnie? - [grunts.]
- [screaming.]
Get off! Get off of me! I don't don't feel don't feel so good.
Wake up! Harrison, wake up! Stay there.
[Pat.]
Now look, I just want to talk.
I won't tell anyone you killed Lana, okay? I'm sure you had your reasons.
[Pat.]
Listen, I just need you to hear my side of the story.
Is that why you brought a gun? Not exactly in friendly territory, Adam.
I'm just trying to protect myself.
So what's your alibi? I found out Ronnie was going to see her.
That's why I left early.
To try and talk to her, to stop her.
Thing is, I found out she's Ronnie's supplier.
And she was into hard stuff.
But that's the Lotts.
I mean, they think they're above the law.
But sooner or later, Ronnie would've got arrested.
So I went down there to put a stop to it.
When I got there, I realized she was trying to kill herself.
She had a gun.
I tried to stop her.
[stutters.]
I couldn't.
I believe you.
But you don't, do you? Come on what do you want me to say? What's it matter if I believe you or not? There's no proof.
If you wanna kill me, you're gonna kill me.
What? [sighs.]
Just read this.
Here's your proof.
[Chuck.]
Pat! - [cocks gun.]
- [Pat.]
Chuck, listen.
- [gun fires.]
- [cocks gun.]
[Chuck.]
Vince, Felix, go after him.
I'm gonna go around back.
- [Adam.]
Chuck! Chuck! - What? Stop, stop.
I don't think he did it.
No, Felix told me that you said that Here.
She left a suicide note.
I'm sorry, Chuck.
No, no, no.
You said that there was a struggle.
- The boot prints! - There was a struggle.
Pat tried to stop her.
I believe him.
Chuck! Not now! Not now! Harrison's passed out.
He won't wake up.
You could've killed me.
[screaming.]
Stop, you bastard! - Shut up! - No! Stop it! Everybody knows you're not right in the head, Ronnie.
The only way you could get a girl is to rape her! One more word.
One more word! - You dick! - [grunting.]
- [screaming.]
- [breathing heavily.]
Shh, it's okay.
It's okay.
Don't! [gasping.]
Don't touch me.
[Gord.]
What the What happened? Why didn't anyone take him down? Chuck told us not to touch him.
- Chuck did this? - Yeah.
[Samantha.]
Harrison! Oh, quick, does anybody have any candy? Sugar? Anything.
He's diabetic.
- Uh, here.
- Thank you.
Okay, come on, buddy! Okay.
Harrison, can you hear me? Harrison, come on.
- Come on, please don't die.
Harrison? - What happened? He went into insulin shock.
- [Samantha.]
Come on.
- I'm I'm so sorry, I didn't know.
Maybe you should've asked before you strung him up.
You did this? [door opens.]
You're damn lucky.
Harrison'll live.
Come on, Gord.
He stole a car, smashed up the windows, spit in my face.
The kids need to know that they can't get away with this stuff.
- And killing him is the answer? - Oh, the righteous one.
Yeah, sure, I meant to kill him.
Put that on me.
But at least I'm trying to keep order around here, Gord.
What about you? Nobody made you judge and jury.
Being rich doesn't make you right.
I don't need to take this shit.
Especially from you.
Is that what she said? That's what I saw.
Ronnie attacked her.
Where is he? He's with Jeff and Al.
They're keeping an eye on him for now.
Pat, what are we gonna do? I honestly didn't think he was wired that way.
[scoffs.]
I was never so sure.
How's Wiley? About as good as you'd be after something like that.
Jason.
Rough day? [sighs.]
Yeah, you can say that.
Well, if it helps, I spoke to Ronnie.
He's truly sorry.
It doesn't.
Hey, do you mind driving me to town? I think I've overstayed my welcome here.
Yeah, about that I can't.
Not yet.
Okay, uh, just get me close.
There's something I need you to do for us first.
And I don't see any way around this.
[Adam.]
I would've bet everything I own that Pat killed Lana.
I feel like such an idiot.
[Ms.
Symonds.]
All the evidence pointed that way.
What do you think is gonna happen? My guess? The Creekers come back looking for blood.
All bets are off if that happens.
Yeah.
- [breaker flipping.]
- [all cheering.]
Power is back on.
Ms.
Symonds? Ms.
Symonds! Amy! Amy? Looks like civilian life is treating you well.
[sighs.]
Morning, sunshine.
[Mark.]
Is the interrogation over? If you're gonna kill me, can we just get it over with? So besides this kid, Adam, there appears to be no one else investigating what happened? No.
There's a million theories, but no one seems to know anything.
I guess everyone figured once the power came back on, there'd be a message or something.
Don't even think about trying anything.
[lock opening.]
I don't understand.
Why are you releasing me? I brought you back here as a warning.
But now that you've proven to be useful, I want you to be my eyes and ears in town.
So I'm gonna forgive you for punching me in the face, and I'm gonna give you a second chance.
There's not gonna be a third.
Okay.
Thanks.
How old are you? Twenty-one.
No offense, but I could've sworn you were older.
Then you'd be wrong and offensive.
[door opens.]
I need intel on a kid named Adam Jones.
