Point Pleasant s01e04 Episode Script

Previously on Point Pleasant.
- She was just there in the water.
- Who is she? - Where am I? - Point Pleasant.
No, that place is her training ground.
She's the child of darkness.
When people get close to me, if I get angry or upset- Something bad happens to them.
Christina, this is Paula, my girlfriend.
She doesn't understand how her presence affects people.
What if Christina stayed with us for a little while? Make her love and lose, the world will feel her pain.
Then they'll feel nothing at all.
You work for my father, don't you? He sent you here to watch me.
I was sent here to be an influence.
- Sarah.
Good to see you.
- Mr.
Boyd.
I saw you today, standing out on Main Street with him.
Lucas Boyd? He's nobody.
God, if I hadn't picked someone else in high school.
We'd be together now? You don't get it.
I love Meg.
Meg's a nice enough person.
She just happens to be in the way.
None of this makes any sense, Father.
I'm not a- I'm not a religious person.
But I'm seeing signs from God.
- How can I help you? - There's a meteor shower tonight.
It's a sign to me, a call to action.
But I need you to keep my secret.
You're in the right place.
Anything that you say stays between us and God.
What he wants me to do is unspeakable.
So, if it's cool, I was gonna knock off a little early today.
Sure, yeah.
Is everything okay, man? You seem a little wrecked.
I didn't sleep much last night.
Forget me.
I heard you on the cell to Paula earlier.
- Another fight? - She thinks I haven't been paying enough attention to her lately.
Paula's a high-maintenance girl.
It's gotten worse.
It feels like everything around here's gotten worse lately.
Gotten weird.
And not just the stuff with Paula.
You noticing that? Summertime, dude.
That's all.
I guess.
So, the guy on the news says this meteor shower tonight- it's, like, some kind of freak event.
It's totally unexpected.
Oh, stuff like that weirds me out.
Oh, I see Jesse's working today.
There's nothing there.
I haven't even talked to him since you had your accident.
Hey.
Hey.
Wow.
Uh, nothing there, huh? What? There was no vibe.
That was vibeless.
No, but the effort was epic.
He's with Paula.
And I don't want anybody to get hurt.
God told me- he keeps talking to me telling me that I can serve him.
My sickness can be a hammer in his hand.
Sickness? I've always thought about hurting girls but lately, it's different.
He's chosen one.
God would never ask you to do that.
What kind of priest are you? I came here to find the strength to do his will.
God doesn't want this.
Believe me.
God is my counsel and he wants mutilation.
Wait! Did you hear about the meteor showers tonight? My husband says they're bad luck.
You know, sailors used to cancel their journeys if they saw them.
- Isn't that funny? - Very.
How's the fit, Mr.
Boyd? It's perfect, Armando.
Nice.
What's the, uh, big occasion? - Funeral.
- Oh, sorry.
- Who died? - Nobody yet.
- Uh- - I like to be prepared.
- We have some business to discuss.
- Right.
I found you some beachfront property, but there are some restrictions.
Some endangered marsh rodent or something or other.
Yeah, well, snap it up.
I'll get around the rodent.
Now, I was referring to other business.
I'd like to have some people over, watch the meteor shower.
You, the Kramers and the Parkers.
The Parkers? - Since when are you interested in the church-marm? - You let me worry about that.
You need to focus on the Kramers if we expect your little project to move forward.
Uh, yeah.
Well, um, the project is at a standstill, since I can't even get Ben to talk to me.
Listen, we agreed that he won't be with you until his marriage is a nonissue, over.
Right? Okay.
The seal of the confession is clear.
Nothing must ever be repeated, no matter how serious the case.
- I know that.
But I- - Then you know you shouldn't even ask the question.
Things haven't exactly been normal here, Father Matthew.
That doesn't mean you can ease your burden by sharing this person's confession.
Look I know Father David's disappearance was difficult for you.
It's more than that.
Since he left, I've been handling everything here by myself.
- I could use an ally.
- An ally? This isn't a war, Father Tomas.
It's a town congregation.
An ally against what? Oh, sorry.
- Am I interrupting? - No, please.
I was just leaving.
Things will work out.
You'll see.
God will guide you.
Yes, of course.
You okay? Yes.
I'm fine.
That's a long line of people out there waiting for a confession.
Is that normal? It's gotten a little longer lately.
Since I showed up.
Christina, we talked about this.
You might've started something, but it's been destined to come since long before you were born.
The people's darker impulses are intensifying- that's true.
The hope for these people is that you wanna help 'em.
I do.
- I'm glad to hear Judy's doing well.
- She's great.
She's doing great.
- Thanks for everything, George.
Really appreciate it.
- Yes, thank you.
Not a problem.
Let's play some tennis this weekend.
- I love the idea.
- Give me a call.
- Here, you hold it.
- You still got time for a lesson.
Ben, Meg, hi.
Uh, that Dr.
Forrester is such a dish, don't you think? I heard he and Laura split.
Think I should call him? You're asking me? You're the expert on men.
Really? Uh, do you see me with one? We really should get going.
O- O-Okay.
Quick question first.
Uh, I'm doing some real estate work with Mr.
Boyd and, well, it turns out, the poor guy doesn't know a soul in town.
So I offered to bring a few people over to his house to watch the meteors tonight.
- Are you interested? - Uh, we have plans.
Oh, no, no.
I-It's nothing that can't be rearranged.
I've been dying to meet him.
He sounds so interesting.
Fantastic.
Okay.
So, I'll see you later.
- Okay.
Thanks.
- Okay.
Mm-hmm.
It's you.
He's shown me.
That was a nice invitation.
I never thought Amber liked me very much.
Ah, damn it.
I left my wallet at the register.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
- Ow! Eh- - What the hell are you up to? Ben, my arm.
You come to the hospital.
Now an invitation to dinner? You've pretty much ignored Meg since high school.
Why this sudden interest? Maybe I finally got my priorities straight.
That woman has been through hell.
And if you are using her to get to me- Oh, do you honestly think I'm capable of that? Scratch that.
Ben, I took a long, hard look at myself after the other night and I saw a lonely, selfish woman.
And I realized I need more people in my life like you and Meg.
I mean, good people.
I mean, come on.
Don't you find it strange that you and I have always been friendly but I've never made overtures to your wife? And it makes innocent things with us so illicit.
And- And we both know that has to end.
So, I hope I'll see you tonight.
What do you need this for? - Family thing.
- Yeah, I'm not a fool.
I know you kids use this stuff to get loaded.
What do you care what I use it for? - You want your money, give me your price.
- 200.
Since I'm new, can I stay for the party? I have another task for you.
I want you to keep tabs on Christina while I'm here.
I need to focus so I can see what makes these good people tick.
You know, like a bomb.
- Ah.
- It all starts tonight.
Sarah Parker.
Well, that- that sounds really lovely.
I appreciate the invitation, but, uh I'm afraid it would be impossible.
All right.
Bye.
- Who was that? - Lucas Boyd is having people over tonight.
Don't worry.
I told him we couldn't go.
You know my bracelet with the "S" charm? It broke off somewhere.
- Have you seen it? - You're upset.
Yeah, I'm upset.
Jesse gave it to me.
About the thing at Boyd's.
You wanna go.
Yeah.
That's not even the point.
I hate that we can't go because of some made-up story you have about me and him.
I won't be trapped in this house again, Logan.
We barely made it through last time.
You know, you really should talk to somebody about all this.
The church has counseling.
Call him back.
I wanna go.
We should go.
- So you can glare at him all night? - Yeah.
No.
No glaring, okay? Just puppy eyes all night long.
I'm trying to apologize here.
- You'll do anything to avoid going near that church.
- Mmm.
I know you.
I'm serious.
Come on.
Let me take you to the party, Sarah.
Camping tonight.
Tent town at the beach.
It's a chance for fun and more meteor hoo-ha.
- You in? - Sure.
I guess.
Oh, my dad was just lecturing me on being responsible- with boys.
Why? Who's gonna be there? I mean, anyone you like? I know what you're asking, "Miss No Vibe," but I don't know.
- I'm not asking anything.
- Mm-hmm.
You know what? Let's go to the closet and find something bewitching.
Bewitchingly comfortable.
If the girls are going out, maybe we should make this the night that we've been planning.
Let's just blow off this party, head into the city.
Oh, no, no, no.
We'll do that another night, I promise.
But I really wanna go to this party.
And I told Amber we would.
So what? So- So, it means something to me, okay? Besides, Sarah and Logan are going to be there and- and we used to go out with them all the time.
Now nobody invites us anywhere.
Not since Isabelle.
Okay.
Okay.
Uh, I guess it's just one night.
- Hey.
- I called you, like, 10 times.
I know.
I know.
I'm sorry.
- What's going on? - Just been thinking about stuff.
Trying to figure out what's changed.
I can tell you what's changed.
Christina showed up.
It's not just that.
You've been different too.
Like you're keeping things from me.
I can feel you pulling away.
And it's freaking me out, that's all.
Oh, no.
We used to have fun.
- You've been- - Whatever I've been it's only because this girl has invaded my life.
- I'm just defending myself.
- You can't blame her for everything.
I can! Jess we work.
And I can prove it to you.
But you have to promise me you'll stay away from her.
I can't do that.
Are you serious? Oh, come on, Paula.
You want me to hide from her when I see her? I'm not gonna do that.
God, would you at least admit that you have a thing for her? Do me that favor.
I don't know what's between me and Christina exactly.
- That's the truth.
- You don't know.
And that's worth throwing away what you and I have? We are so over.
Get outta here.
Go! So, it's bigger than I thought.
You're not backing out.
You have some crazy powers, huh? Or are you just a really hot kisser? 'Cause I never thought Jess would end it with Paula.
You kissed Jesse? Jesse and Paula are over? We are so not backing out of this.
It's tonight.
Oh, high drama.
Maybe she's really hurt.
Please.
That girl's too skinny to feel pain.
- Speaking of which, I'm starving.
Here, you pick a spot.
I'll find food.
- Thanks.
Hello.
Welcome.
- Meg Kramer.
- Lucas Boyd.
- Meg, so glad you could make it.
- Pleasure to meet you.
Looks great.
- Just point me to the bar.
- I'm with you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You okay? I heard about you and Paula.
Wasn't sure you'd- I wanted to see you.
Really? What's crazy is, you and I barely know each other.
Well, maybe if we got to know each other- We might end up hating each other? - Or just develop a complete lack of interest.
- Excellent.
Let's give it a shot.
Okay.
He didn't waste any time.
What's so special about this girl? Look, forget about it.
Let's just have fun.
Come on.
Mm-hmm.
It must be amazing to save someone.
Uh, it's mostly spoiled city kids who can't handle a wave.
You rescued me.
- See what I mean? - Shut up.
So, this is your summer office.
What are you gonna do in the off-season? Actually, I've been thinking about being a cop.
This is the first year I'm eligible.
- More rescuing.
- I guess you could look at it that way.
If I were a shrink, I would be asking you who you're really trying to rescue.
Ooh, we're simple folk here in the boonies.
What you see is what you get.
All right, simple guy.
Then why a cop? My dad's a cop.
So is my grandfather.
It's in my blood, I guess.
You know how you just get that feeling when something's right? - Big man showed up.
- Hey, man.
- I'll catch up with you later.
- Oh, come on.
One beer with your old pal.
It's okay.
Go ahead.
I should get back to the tent and check on Judy anyway.
All right.
I'll meet you over there later? Okay.
Come on, man.
Anything that you say stays between us and God.
I like to look at girls, think about hurting them.
- God doesn't want this.
- He wants mutilation.
Police department.
Is Sheriff Logan Parker in? This is Father Tomas from St.
Martin's.
Uh, Logan's off tonight.
You wanna leave a message? No, I- - Thanks.
- Yep.
Hey, you know, you're actually supposed to be invited to these things.
- Well, I was, so- - Judy Kramer doesn't count.
See, you kind of need an invite from someone who's not a loser.
Why don't you go away, okay? I was just gonna say the same thing to you.
No one wants you here.
- Really? - Yeah.
Did you even think for one second how Paula might feel with the two of you flirting in front of everybody? No, no, no.
The worst double date we ever had was the night that I threw up in Meg's purse.
Oh, no.
I forgot about that.
I- It must be rich- the town lore about all of you.
I'm not goin' there.
I'm not drunk enough.
What about the time your dad arrested the two of you? - Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, we, uh, broke into the lighthouse.
I guess there was an alarm or something, and my dad who was the chief at the time, caught us.
You know.
Caught us.
We were married.
There's nothing in the Bible about location.
- Did you always want to follow your dad into the force? - Sarah.
Well, he was going to NYU.
But then I had Jesse, and- Well, you know, plans change.
And how about the Meg and Ben lore? There must be something fun.
- More port, anyone? - Yeah.
Hey, don't let Lucinda get to you.
The thing is, she has a point.
- Paula's feelings.
- Yeah.
The water's nice.
We should go in.
Okay.
You're nuts.
It's freezing.
I was just going to get my sweater.
Oh, come on.
Don't be such a chicken.
Come on, everyone.
She's definitely having a reaction.
I had a good time tonight.
Me too.
So, guess I'll see ya.
Yeah.
Hey, have you guys seen Lucinda? No? Paula, wait.
Thanks for making a total fool of me tonight.
- I wasn't trying to hurt you.
- It's a little late for that.
I don't get it, Jess.
How could you act like this in front of everyone? It's no big deal.
We were just talking.
It's a big deal to me.
We were together for two years, Jess.
And what, you've known this girl for, like, a few weeks? When she turns out to be a total freak, don't come crying to me.
- Meteor alert.
Oh.
- More port? Amber? - Oh, no.
No more for me.
- Meg? - Oh, why not? - Oh! - Oh, gosh.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, I'm an idiot.
- Don't- Don't worry about it.
- Come on.
I'll fix you up.
I'm a stain expert.
- Just put my jacket on.
- Ben, look at this.
It's not that bad.
Now it's really starting.
- What is? - Our little show.
Ah, there's one.
Look.
Stars are falling.
It is time.
Her blood must spill.
It's not enough.
It is not enough.
There must be more! - Hey, Paula.
- Hey, Terry.
What's with this hot and cold thing? It made sense when you were with Jess, but now I don't get it.
I'm not interested, okay? I had a rough night.
No.
Not okay.
You didn't seriously think that we'd be a couple, did you? We're the same, Paula.
You know it.
Okay, look, um you're a cool guy, Terry, and I know things suck for you at home right now.
But, you and me, it's not gonna happen.
- What? - Okay? I admit defeat.
Here, just put this on.
Oh, sorry.
Habit.
I'm, uh, always messing with Paula.
- It's okay.
- It looks great on you.
- Oh, no, I can't wear this.
- Oh, would you stop it? Look at you.
You're so pretty.
You shouldn't be afraid to show off now and again.
Obviously.
I never realized that Ben and I were so dull.
What, that gossip stuff? Come on.
It just means that you guys are discreet.
Hmm.
Trust me.
You should be happy that people don't talk about you.
But they do.
They just don't have anything fun to say.
It's all tragedy.
Isabelle and- and how I lost it.
Well, maybe it's time to change all of that.
500 bucks for a half-ounce.
I keep telling myself, you only go around once.
Ooh.
Don't be afraid to live a little, Meg.
Have some fun.
- There you are.
Ah, the water is awesome.
This really hot guy swimming near me touched my leg a bunch of times.
Or I narrowly escaped a shark attack.
- What are you doing? - I think I'm gonna take off, if that's cool with you.
I'm getting the evil eye from half the party.
- Paula's minions- screw 'em.
- I'd really rather call it a night.
- I'll walk home.
It's fine.
- Okay.
If you're sure.
So, things seem really cool with you and Jesse.
Yeah.
We had a good time.
When I'm with him, I feel like everything's okay.
Like I'm a normal girl.
Normal girl? As opposed to what? Just not the new girl in town.
You know.
Yeah.
So, I'll see you in the morning.
Okay.
- There you are.
- Mm-hmm.
Honey, wait, wait, wait.
- Someone could see.
- I know.
Let's give 'em something to talk about.
Oh, I gotta commend you, Logan.
Sarah is an extraordinary woman.
But I don't think I could have done what you did.
What's that? Oh, start family life so early, give up my plans.
- Exactly what are you trying to say? - Well, am I wrong? I'm- I'm just under the impression that Jesse wasn't exactly expected.
Where do you get off asking us all these questions? You have been digging into our lives all night long.
- I don't mean to offend.
- Yes, you do.
I know your type.
Something in your life has made you miserable so now you like to cause misery for everyone else, hmm? - You don't know what I'm about.
- I don't think you're about anything.
You like to mess with people's heads to get yourself off.
Honestly, I don't mean to pry.
I- I just find others more interesting than myself.
- Oh, really? - Oh, Ben.
! See? That's interesting.
Dr.
Forrester? Up close you look so lovely.
- Stay away from me.
- I can't.
I knew it.
It's all so clear now.
I brought you something.
It's my offering.
She's for you.
- What is this? - I know it's small.
I can do more, better- whatever you want.
I- All this time I thought God was talking to me.
And then I saw you tonight.
And I saw the way you looked at her when she made you angry.
And I saw the fire and I understood.
Understood what? You don't even know me.
Why would God set me on something that was so clearly the devil's work? He wouldn't.
I finally realized I'd been worshipping the wrong power.
You know my bracelet with the "S" charm? It broke off somewhere.
Have you seen it? Either of you ladies interested? Trying to cut down.
- Hey there.
- Welcome back, you two.
- I'm gonna kill you, bastard! - Whoa.
! Whoa.
! Whoa.
! Easy.
! Easy.
! Easy.
! Easy.
! - I'm gonna kill you! - What is the matter with you? You know damn well! - No, I don't.
- No, huh? Explain this.
- Your bracelet.
- Logan, what's going on here? - What did you do, huh? It was right here.
- Logan, stop! What did you do? Where is it? Will you settle down? Come on.
What's going on? All right.
I'm done.
I am done.
You stay away from my wife.
I'm sorry.
He works through you, right? I mean, it comes off you in waves.
I didn't make this happen.
I don't want any of this.
I see who you are and I'll do anything you ask.
I want to make this one hurt for you.
- You did this for me? - She made you angry, so she's first.
If that's what you want.
I just need you to take away the guilt.
To let me be the monster that I am.
Listen to me.
That monster- I know what you're talking about.
- But I fight it.
- And it hurts, doesn't it? Then why? If it feels natural, if it's what you were built for why not accept your destiny? My destiny? There will be more like me.
You will have an army.
And you will become more powerful than you can imagine.
I can have anything.
Yes.
Then I know what I want.
You just couldn't give me that, could you? - One night! - I found your bracelet in his bedroom! Where, Logan? Where was it? Wh- It wasn't in your pocket because it wasn't there.
It's somewhere back at home.
You're losing it.
I swear you are.
Come on.
Why are you so smug? I'm not smug.
It just went exactly as I expected it to go.
Trust me.
You got what you needed.
- We both did.
- How? Meg actually got me to feel sorry for her, and then Ben had hot sex with her.
On the porch? That was tame.
But it was enough.
I promise you.
The hangover's gonna be a bitch.
Good night.
- You know, we never go to parties that good.
- I know.
- You look so damn sexy.
- Mmm.
I couldn't help myself out there.
Mmm.
- And you smell so damn good.
- You like it? It's Amber's perfume.
Are you ready to pop for 500 bucks a bottle, hmm? Ben.
What? I- I thought I just saw someone coming.
So? So, I'd just rather get going home, okay? Wha- - Hey.
- Get your dad.
He hurt Lucinda.
Hurry.
You all right? Okay.
Is he hurt? Put him in the truck.
I came here because you demand it.
But you know what's about to happen.
There will be others.
Others who know what you really are.
You can't fight the truth.
We'll be coming for you.
An army of us! All for you.
Why's he saying that stuff about you? I thought you told my dad that you just found the car.
I did.
I was on my way to see you.
I- I saw he was parked nearby.
I guess he was just trying to work up the courage before he turned himself in.
- He was acting like he knows you.
- Jess, he's crazy.
I- I talked to him for maybe a minute.
I told him that your dad was a good man.
That's all.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't sound right.
I- I've known Dr.
Forrester my whole life.
Sometimes people hide things.
You know you can tell me anything, right? I mean, this isn't- Normal? No.
I know.
I should go.
Good night.
Hold on, Dad.
It's gonna be a better night tonight.
I don't care what the doctor says.
You're gonna get better.
I promise.
Hey, you okay? They closed down the beach because of what happened.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm tired.
What the hell? Chris, everyone's saying that you, like, talked this guy down.
Like you're some kind of hero.
Yeah, that's me.
Local hero.
Forgive me, sir, um you seem a little down.
Hmm.
You wanna learn, Wes? Learn this.
The saddest thing about what we do is- is how easy it is.
I barely lift a finger.
You wanna ruin a man, show him what's really in his heart.
The seeds of destruction- lust insecurity violence obsession.
People like to imagine they're seeing demons.
But the real demons- we know better.
