Equinox (2020) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Jakob.
Let go of me.
Jakob, that's enough.
I don't like this.
Falke.
Falke.
MEET ME AT BAKKEN ON FRIDAY AT 2 P.M.
Easy.
-Let go.
-They can hear you.
-Let go.
-Easy.
Sorry.
-What do you want?
-Sorry.
-Sorry if I scared you.
-Why have you been following me?
You don't look like her.
Are you even sisters?
Who are you?
Can you guess who I am?
-Falke?
-Bingo.
They can hear us.
You have to come with me. Come.
I won't hurt you.
I won't hurt you.
Come.
Come.
Come along.
Come.
Come.
Hurry.
There.
Good. Come up here. Come on.
Come. Come in here.
They can't hear us in here.
They can't hear us here.
Yes.
Okay.
Do you have your recorder?
Record. You have to record.
Okay. Great.
You weren't ready before. Okay?
But you've got pieces now.
And now you can understand my pieces.
And, yeah, 21.
-Okay. 21.
-Yes.
-Twenty-one who disappeared?
-No. 21 pieces, right?
-Twenty-one, 22, 23. Einundzwanzig…
-I don't understand.
-What pieces?
-Enough. Okay.
Twenty-three, 22, 21, yes!
Twenty-one.
-Did you listen to the song?
-Yes.
Yes, so you know.
-The most important piece is…
-The song is the most…
No, goddamn it. Not the song.
No. Hey, don't leave.
I've had volts through my brain.
They say…
Ostara is Ida!
-Ida is Ostara?
-Yes.
And it was all in the book.
What book?
Jakob's book. It had everything
about the egg and Ostara.
Figure it out.
You have to explain this better.
-What egg are you talking about?
-The egg.
She drank it and then it happened.
-What happened?
-What the book said.
Where is that book now?
It's gone. Gone.
But it came true.
Because Jakob was punished.
And Amelia lost something,
and I'm suffering, and Ida is…
Ida is what?
Ida what?
She was sacrificed.
What did you do to her?
I haven't… I would never hurt her.
What happened when they disappeared?
It wasn't then it happened.
-It happened earlier.
-Earlier? On…
Was it on the island?
Yes, exactly. Now you get it. You get it.
What happened on that island?
I saw…
I saw what I saw.
And it didn't make…
There's no logic to it.
Do it, Falke.
Don't be afraid.
What happened to Ida?
I don't know. Ask Ida's mother.
-Ida's mom. My mom?
-Yes, your mom, Ida's mom. Yes.
-Why my mom?
-She knew it would happen.
-How could she know that?
-Because Ida was locked up.
She was locked up
and Ida's mom was afraid.
How could she know?
I don't know,
but she knew Ida would disappear.
But…
I know I'm right,
but my pieces don't fit together yet.
I can't go any further.
My path ends here. But you can.
You'll find the truth.
And where will I find it?
The driver.
The driver has pieces.
But he is in the hospital. I can't, he's…
Exactly. He is closer.
-He is not well.
-No, and you are?
Go to him.
Equinox.
Astrid.
Listen to the song, Astrid.
Forwards and backwards.
Torben?
Torben?
Torben, can you hear me?
It's Astrid.
You tried to tell me something last time.
Was it about the graduate truck?
Torben?
If you can hear me,
can you give me a sign?
What are you doing here?
I wanted to ask him something.
I want you to leave.
Will he recover?
Would you please leave?
Torben, if you can hear me,
give me a sign.
He can't hear you. He can't hear anyone.
He's brain-dead.
It's over.
There is no more life in there.
Yes, but can't he wake up?
-We shut him off tomorrow.
-Don't.
-We can do whatever we want.
-What if he…
Can I spend my husband's
last moments alone with him?
Yes, but what if… What if he wakes up?
You don't get it, do you?
You did this.
He is moving.
He moved his fingers. Torben? He moved.
Would you please stop?
How dare you?
Lene?
Astrid, is that you?
You knew something.
You knew Ida was going to disappear.
What are you saying?
You never let her go out.
You made her stay in her room.
That's not true, Astrid.
You're mistaken.
You were always fighting.
Not any more than
other teenage girls and their moms.
You didn't want her to go
on that truck ride. I remember that.
That's nonsense.
I just wanted her
to look after herself.
That didn't mean she couldn't go
on that trip.
But you were young back then,
and of course
you remember things differently.
I just wanted to protect her.
Like mothers do.
Just like I protected you.
But…
you didn't protect me.
You weren't there.
-No.
-No.
But it wasn't my fault.
Astrid, I was the only one
who believed you back then.
But it was Dennis.
Dennis who took you away from me.
But I was sick.
And you kept saying I could find her.
-Yes.
-I was nine years old.
And I was nine years old.
It's back, isn't it?
I can see it in your face.
I can feel it.
You're experiencing it again, aren't you?
-I am not sick.
-I know that.
You're not sick.
There's nothing wrong with you.
You always had
a special connection with Ida.
Yes.
You have a special ability.
Believe in it.
There's nothing wrong with you. No.
I'll just get that.
Yes.
Does this hurt your eyes?
Do you have a lot of nightmares?
Do you have them when you're awake?
I'm always awake when they come.
They wake you up,
but they only happen when you're asleep.
No, I'm not asleep.
I'm sure it feels real.
Do you get headaches often?
-No.
-Look at your belly.
All the way down. Yes. And back up.
That way. There you go.
I just want to go home.
Yes.
Right before it happens…
do you hear, smell or feel anything?
No, not before,
but sometimes there's a smell in the den.
Good.
Now lie down, please.
Go ahead and lie down. Please…
You'll feel a tiny pinch.
Take a deep breath.
Please come in here for a minute.
My conclusion is
that there's nothing wrong.
-I told you.
-But that can't be right.
I think it's good news that she's well.
I know there's something wrong.
Listen to the doctor, Dennis.
Physiologically, there's nothing wrong.
Nothing to trace. No tumors.
No epilepsy and her blood tests
show nothing out of the ordinary.
There's "nothing wrong." But it's obvious
there's something wrong with her.
I understand your situation.
I know what you've been through
and I feel for…
Ida?
Let me go.
Let me go now.
-Astrid, look at me.
-Let me go.
-Darling, can you hear me?
-Let me go.
Tell Mom what's happening.
Let me go now.
Dad, you have to believe me.
I'm not making this up.
I fought to get away.
I know.
Just relax now.
I'm right here with you.
But you don't listen to me.
Sure I do. I hear everything you say.
He's come to take me.
Try to sleep a little.
You weren't ready before.
But you've got pieces now.
And now you can understand my pieces.
-And, yeah, 21.
-Twenty-one who disappeared?
No. 21 pieces. 21, 22, 23.
Einundzwanzig, 22…
I don't understand. What pieces?
Enough. Okay.

GRADUATE CASE TRAGEDY
Forward and backward.
Astrid, you're next.
No.
Astrid, you're next.
What's going on here?
Dad, it's all connected.
I am a part of this.
-What's going on?
-I am a part of this.
Look.
Jakob, Amelia, and Falke
were all on the island
during the equinox with Ida.
During the equinox.
Ida disappeared.
She was the only one who disappeared
because she's the chosen one: Ostara.
She was the goddess on this island.
And I don't know exactly
what happened or how,
but there's something about those dates.
There's something.
Falke keeps saying the 21st.
And the 22nd and 23rd. He keeps saying it.
I've recorded it.
Jakob dies on December 22nd.
On March 21st, they were
on the island during the equinox.
On June 21st, they all disappear.
That is
winter solstice
and spring equinox,
and the 21st is summer solstice,
and what's missing?
-I don't know.
-Fall equinox.
That's September 23rd.
My birthday.
I'm also involved in this, Dad.
-Don't you see?
-Darling.
You don't see it.
What if I never had visions and if…
I need you to listen to this.
Yes.
I really need you to listen to this.
It's important that you listen to me.
No, don't. Look at me.
I need you to take this seriously.
-I am.
-I need you to take me seriously.
-Believe me, I'm taking you seriously.
-Okay. Listen.
I'll listen. I'll listen to it.
-Listen to this.
-Yes.
Okay. Wait a little. Listen.
-Listen.
-Yes.
Wait.
-Listen.
-Yes.
Wait a little. Wait.
It was just there.
Listen. He says, "Astrid, you're next."
He said it.
He said it to me.
It can't be true.
-Astrid.
-You're not listening to me.
You don't listen.
-No. You listen.
-He was just there. It can't…
Listen to me now. Come.
It made sense. It made sense a minute ago.
-Put it down.
-It just made sense.
-Put it down.
-It made sense just now.
Put the recorder down. There.
Easy now. Sit here with me.
Come.
Let's sit here together.
Easy, darling. Breathe.
You have to let go of that guilt.
Right? You didn't do anything wrong.
You couldn't do anything.
You couldn't have saved Ida.
You couldn't have done anything.
It's not your fault.
And all this Ostara stuff,
it's a fairytale, honey.
It's just a fairytale, right?
You couldn't do anything.
You have no fault in all of this. There.
-But it was right there.
-Take a breath.
We've had good results
at a workshop we've created out here…
Perhaps we could go and see the room.
Come, honey.
-Dad, I don't want to be here.
-Come on. Get your things.
Come, honey.
This is your room.
Make yourself at home, okay?
Try to settle in nicely.
Let's have a look.
WELCOME ASTRID
Why do I have to live here?
You won't live here.
You're just staying here
until you get better, okay?
How am I going to get better?
Well,
for a start,
they'll give you some medicine.
To make the nightmares stop.
Right? And that's good.
So I won't have any more nightmares
if I take the medicine?
No, you won't.
Then everything will be fine.
But how will Ida come back then?
We'll figure that out later.
Okay?
Everything's going to be fine.
Oops, what happened with Mikala?
I dropped her.
Hi.
Hi.
What's wrong? Has anything happened?
Yes.
I'm coming home now.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize. Just come home.
We've missed you so much.
Astrid speaking.
This is Mathias, Jakob's brother.
Hi.
This might sound strange.
I've received a letter for you.
For me?
Yes, you can pick it up from the shop.
Just drop by any time.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm on my way back to Bornholm.
Okay, but it's from Jakob.
From Jakob?
Yes, it says it's from Romania.
A place called Marrakesh.
Sorry, can we make a stop on the way?
Here you go.
Thanks.
Did Jakob die in Romania?
Yes.
So you knew where he was?
Why did you lie?
I became afraid when you showed up
wanting to stir up the past.
I didn't want Jakob
dragged back into the mess
he had just escaped.
Jakob came by a few months ago
to borrow some money again.
But he seemed different, more serene.
As if he'd found peace of mind.
He didn't kill himself.
You think someone killed him?
Suicide just doesn't make sense.
I hadn't seen him that happy
in a long time.
-Why go down there to kill yourself?
-What was he doing there?
What kind of place is it?
I don't know.
He just said he had finally found
what he searched for for so long.
"Ostara flows in the blood
like water flows in the river."
Does that mean anything to you?
No.
It's been torn from a book.
Promise to keep me posted?
JAKOB SKIPPER
MARRAKESH ROMANIA
Hi, you've called Astrid.
I can't pick up right now.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
Bye.
What happened? Where are you?
Call me, okay?
I did what I had to do.
She has my pieces.
Turn that shit song off. Shut up!
Can you forgive me?
I'm setting things right.
I'm setting things right.
Everything in place.
A place for everything.
And there…
Everything in place.
A place for everything.
