Brand New Cherry Flavor (2021) s01e06 Episode Script

[rain pattering]
[Lisa] You're going so deep.
But we still have your big scene later.
And I need you full on, Isabelle Adjani,
Possession level.
Go there.
Go deeper.
For me?
Yeah, I I just don't feel like
I'm being real yet.
That's why we're going again.
And we'll go all night if we have to.
Until it's real.
- [Mary sighs]
- Okay.
Wait, how am I supposed to get
to real with this?
It looks like a Halloween toy.
Is this really about the knife?
All right. I'll use a real one.
Um, bad idea.
No! Lisa wants real!
Right, Lisa?
Yes.
Okay.
Let's go. Lucy, put down the knife.
Thank you.
Camera set?
Camera set?
- Camera set.
- [whirring]
You ready?
[dramatic music playing]
And action!
Bang! They're getting into the house.
Knife! Knife!
No.
Reset.
It's okay.
Ready?
Bang! They're getting into the house.
Knife!
[Mary gasps]
- Cut!
- Wait, wait.
Cut? Are you kidding me?
- It's okay.
- She's bleeding.
No, you don't say cut. She says cut!
It's okay.
Get the fuck out.
Get out! I need you out!
You too. Get out.
All of you. Go have a smoke.
Let me see that.
Are you okay?
Was that real enough for you?
Thank you for always going deeper.
This is why I believe in you.
Do you say that stuff to get me
to do what you want?
Mary. Come here.
I mean every word I say to you.
I promise.
Are you ready to do the last scene?
Yeah, but I need you here with me, okay?
Connected.
Okay.
Why don't we do it just us?
Just you and me.
I have an idea.
Oh, yeah?
The peyote?
That's for after wrap.
Yeah, but if I'm going out of
my fucking mind in this scene,
then I wanna go out of my fucking mind.
But I don't wanna do it alone.
Babe, I have to operate,
and I haven't ever tripped before.
If you're gonna see the real me,
then let me see the real you.
On peyote?
Yeah, you and me on peyote.
I love you.
I love you too.
[suspenseful music playing]
[gasps]
I didn't wanna come back here!
I don't wanna come back
You'll always come back.
[high-pitched ringing]
[groaning]
[phone ringing]
[groans] Oh, God. [sniffs]
[sighs]
- [ringing continues]
- [clears throat]
Lou.
- [James] It's done.
- [sighs]
- It's It's done?
- Yep.
That's great. That's great.
Oh, wait, wait. Is it?
Is it safe to talk on this line?
I don't know. I'm at a payphone.
Ah. Right, okay.
I'm new to wet work, you know,
so I don't know about all the protocols.
Can I ask you a question though?
What did you
do with it?
With what?
With the remains?
Well, that's a respectful way to put it.
I left it there. In the apartment.
Well, in the hallway.
You didn't dispose of it?
You just left it right out there?
Yo, and by the way, man?
Yo, very weird to send your son
to keep an eye on me.
[woman whimpering on TV]
Jonathan? What? My son was where?
He was there.
Did he see you
take care of her?
I guess, man.
Like he wanted to watch.
[clears throat]
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go.
What was that about?
[sniffs]
Nothing.
[woman screaming on TV]
Is she dead?
Who?
You paid someone to kill Lisa, right?
What?
No, come on. I I make movies, you know?
What, you think I'm gonna call the cops?
Lisa used me and then left me behind,
minus one eye.
I hope you don't think
you're going without me.
Going where?
To see her dead body, asshole.
I just heard you on the phone.
Not to split hairs,
but I'm going to look for my son.
Not
Why would you even wanna see that?
Only way to make the nightmares stop
is to be 100% sure she's dead.
[dramatic music playing]
[Boro] He really fucked you up, didn't he?
[groans]
[Lisa groaning]
[clicks tongue]
[ominous music playing]
[groaning weakly]
Remember, the pain is temporary.
- [bones crack]
- [groans]
Somebody shattered you into little pieces.
[clears throat]
You break.
But you'll heal stronger.
[groans]
You're vulnerable.
I will keep you safe.
[Mary] You said the guy killed her, right?
So where is she?
Jonathan?
Why would he have come here?
Where the fuck is he?
[Mary] If that's her blood,
she can't get far on her own.
Could your son have helped her?
I don't know.
But I know someone who would've.
[sniffs]
Boro?
[branches rustling]
[eerie shrieking]
[gasps, then screams]
Where's Boro?
Boro?
[grunts]
[gasps]
[screams]
[panting]
This lady is a fortune teller
or something?
I believe she's some sort of witch.
[Mary] A real one?
[Lou sighs]
I don't know how to answer that.
But you think that Lisa's inside?
Let's find out.
Hi again, Lou Burke.
Is Lisa here?
And who might you be?
I'm an old friend of Lisa's.
How nice. Were you lovers?
[gasps] Yeah, you were.
What happened? Did it get a little hot
and you burned your eyeball out?
Is she in there?
- [sneezes]
- Bless you.
Is Lisa?
- [sneezes]
- Ooh.
[Lou] What the fuck [exhales]
Wanna go in and see?
Go ahead.
Let's go.
Ah
[Lou grunts]
[lights buzzing]
[door creaking]
[gasps]
What do you do with the kittens?
Before you make them into slippers?
Your friends came by looking for you.
Code and Christine?
No. Lou Burke and
the girl with one eye.
[ominous music playing]
Mm-hm.
What did they want?
I'm assuming they wanted to kill you.
But I sent them away.
You need to soak more.
Come on.
Let's go talk about you and your friend.
She's alive?
No way.
Says you.
Of course says me.
I'm the client. Job's not done.
I choked her to death.
She didn't walk away from that.
Then why isn't she there?
Look, I have no doubt she's indeed
badly injured.
But that's not a finished job.
This makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
I wanted this to be clean.
I thought I was extremely clear
about that.
But, let me let me try again.
I believe she is at that woman's house.
Go there!
Finish her off!
And who are you again?
I'm an actress.
That's double.
Double on top of what you owe us?
Jesus fucking Christ!
Sure, uh
I
Look, you'll get the rest when she's
dead.
Dead!
Am I clear?
[door opens]
[objects clattering]
"Dead" dead. Roger Wilco.
I'd like to go with.
I'll get my shoes.
[Boro] Who's the girl with one eye?
What does she mean to you?
She means what I let her mean.
She's an actress.
That's her job.
Why don't you want to tell me?
Okay.
I have a story for you.
This was 900 years ago or so.
Pretty far south.
In the rainforest. Your neck of the woods.
Back then, I was a man. You know, a man.
Let's call him James Dean,
because he was beautiful and strong and
hungry.
He's in the forest one day and encounters
this huge, stunning, white jaguar.
Like, the mother jaguar.
A spirit living in an animal body.
And he thinks she's gonna kill him.
Instead, she takes a liking to him.
So the white jaguar and James Dean fuck.
And instead of killing him, she leaves him
with a little bit of her power as a gift.
And he goes home.
And he becomes this great leader.
He becomes a king.
And he marries this princess
and she's exquisite.
He has everything.
However, the mother jaguar
still expects something in return:
an offering every now and then.
Like a sacrifice?
Yes.
Like a sacrifice.
Then one day, he hears that an army
is headed toward his city,
and they're killing and enslaving
everyone in their path.
But he doesn't know where they are
or how far away they are.
So the white jaguar teaches him
about this ritual
that will show him where his enemies are.
He would need to find and capture
a specific toad.
That toad, actually.
The he would lick the sweat
off of its back.
And when this is done,
he can sense
exactly where his enemies are.
So he sets a trap.
He waits for them and slaughters them all.
But for the toad ritual,
the mother jaguar wants a big offering.
She tells him to bring her his wife.
[Mary clears throat]
Second time I've been here today.
Hello.
Can I help you?
Oh. It's you again.
Hi.
Hi. Sorry.
This is your place?
Are you looking for Lisa?
She in there?
Yes.
Well, I'm going in to see her.
Why don't you come along
and show us exactly where she's at?
[dramatic music playing]
Is there a machete in your bag?
Huh?
You can't have her just yet.
I'm in the middle of a story.
What?
She's not ready
for you to break her again.
Why don't you go back to her apartment
and wait there,
and I'll send her to you when I'm done.
Huh? And don't use a machete.
What, are you gonna put on
a hockey mask too?
Okay, go. Go.
See you around.
[croaking]
[Lisa sighs]
Did he feed his wife to the jaguar?
No.
I tried to trick the jaguar
by offering up a different woman.
But she came in the night and
she ate his wife anyway.
Fuck.
Then she bit off his balls
and bit off his hands. [chuckles]
And she dragged him around
and played with him.
She was really pissed.
Then she just left him there.
For dead.
He lied there in the forest dying,
until a young girl happened upon him.
Without knowing how
or even if he could, he
with his last bit of strength,
he jumped into her body.
I've been jumping ever since.
What happens to the people?
After their bodies get taken?
They all away.
Until you can almost
not hear them anymore.
And the jaguar?
What happened to the jaguar?
I think she was killed by the Spanish.
Eventually made into a couch.
She's still alive.
She's just on the other side.
So she's still after you, huh?
Sit up.
You're healed.
And stronger than before.
My gift to you.
[Lisa] Thanks.
My friends should be here soon
to pick me up.
[Boro] Want some tea?
What's in it?
Tea.
No thanks.
How do you feel?
I feel fantastic.
I feel like I've had a blood transfusion.
So, what's the deal with these guys?
Are they like
100% really dead for real
or can you turn them back?
[Boro] No, they're fully dead.
I just have to keep them supplied
with a certain substance,
or else they'll slide apart.
Ah.
Can they talk?
Do they have wants?
Or are they just slaves?
They can talk, follow instructions,
sometimes at first
though, they'll try to wander home
or call their loved ones.
Stuff like that.
They remember their loved ones?
Yeah.
So are they still the same person
deep down inside?
[Boro] Yes.
We all are.
[clears throat]
Here you go.
[Boro] Will you?
Will you please tell me what happened?
I don't really remember
what happened in the woods.
We were on a lot of peyote.
But it unlocked this door in me that
I didn't know was locked.
And then the drugs wore off.
And Mary was gone.
I waited two days.
And then I took the footage.
Go home and eat something.
You need protein.
Are you feeling okay?
I'm just tired.
["Those Damned
Blue-Collar Tweekers" playing]
You need a kitten?
- Wow, you look gorgeous.
- Thank you.
She got a spa in there or something?
Your skin, I mean
Thought you were done with Boro.
Code, are you on something?
He says he can't blink,
and his eyelids are
I can't find my eyelids. Like, I know
where they are, but I can't find them.
Do you need me to drive?
I'm the safest driver in the world.
'Cause those
Damned blue-collared tweekers ♪
Are runnin' this here town ♪
For real. What's going on?
[Lisa] Oh, my God.
Don't bring me down, dude.
I've been going through a lot.
Okay?
But I do actually feel like
I've been to the spa.
Thank you, Christine.
Yeah, babe. Don't bring her down.
Someone did try to kill me.
[Code] What do you mean?
Like, shot at you but missed?
I mean, like, almost beat me to death.
- Lisa, that's not funny.
- It's not a joke.
He's probably still after me.
Well, you don't look injured, so
Babe, could you please not smoke
in the car?
Just wait till we drop Lisa off.
Actually, I don't really feel like
going to my place. Can I stay at yours?
Of course you can.
Right, honey?
Great. I just need to go by mine
and pack some things.
[Christine] Cool.
You guys wait here.
I'll be back down in five.
You know, I didn't like her at first,
but she's grown on me.
That wasn't true, right?
About someone trying to kill her?
I'd assume that was a joke
but with her, I mean
And if someone was trying to kill her
Where else is she supposed to go?
[flies buzzing]
[Code sniffing]
Jesus!
You think someone would clean that up.
Building's empty, babe.
No one lives here but Lisa.
[vehicle door shuts]
- [vehicle departs]
- [Roy] Hi.
Oh. Hey there.
[ominous music playing]
[meows]
[sighs]
[mewling, purring]
[Lisa breathing heavily]
[footsteps approaching]
I broke your ankle.
How the fuck are you still walking?
Not smart, though, coming back.
But all my stuff is here.
- [snarling]
- [bones cracking, flesh tearing]
[James screams]
- [flesh tearing]
- [James groaning]
[James shrieking]
I'm Christine, this is Code.
[Code] Mm-hmm. Yeah, we've met.
[Christine]
So you're here to see Lisa, I guess?
Yeah. I called earlier, but
I think I've seen a couple
of things you're in.
Dieability and Son of Thunderfoot.
Yeah. Really good.
Thanks.
You never saw Son of Thunderfoot.
Yes, I did. I saw it by myself.
And, also, actually, in Big Heat,
I remember there's this thing
you do with your hand.
- Like, it's a really unexpected choice.
- [door opens]
I mean, I think it's in Big Heat.
- I think it was
- [Lisa] Hey!
[dramatic music playing]
I need a hand.
Upstairs.
Self-defense.
You had to protect yourself.
He tried to kill you.
Again.
You almost bit his head clean off.
I'll call the cops.
Wait a second, man,
we gotta think about this.
Think about what? The headless guy?
[Christine] He's not fully headless, baby.
We gotta think about
the potential consequences.
The almost headless body
is what I call a consequence.
Jules was burned alive,
is what I call a consequence.
A lot of consequences these days,
especially around you, Lis.
I'd like to avoid any more consequences.
And if it was self-defense,
why did she have to eat him?
She didn't eat him.
She didn't?
Did you eat this man?
- Um
- [Christine] Did you eat this man?
Guys, guys. Look, I don't mean
to sound selfish here,
but I can't be seen next to
[blood sloshing]
really, any of this.
I mean, I would leave
and let you all figure out the cops
or no-cops situation,
but I can't because a production van
dropped me off, so officially I'm here.
Murder-adjacent.
[Lisa] You know what, guys?
I can handle it. You can just take off.
No, no, no. I mean we're all here, right?
So if we call the cops,
we get arrested tonight.
Definitely. And then we have
to talk ourselves out of jail.
And in my experience, it's best to just
try and stay out in the first place.
So I
I think the best case scenario is
[eerie music playing]
We get rid of the body.
Yeah.
It is a bit of a drive,
but I know a place we can dump him.
An abandoned office building
in the garment district.
Dump him?
Look, we can't just dump him. It's wrong.
I'm a lapsed Catholic, you know that.
[Christine] Babe,
we'll bury him, it'll be fine.
[Code] What about his soul?
What happens to that?
[Christine] Feels like
a longer conversation.
No Okay, babe, but what if it was me
and I was OD'ing alone
and I didn't have any ID,
so they stashed my body in a ditch,
because they don't care.
Why would they? I look like any other
strung out meth head.
They'd treat me like
you're treating this dude.
Code. Stop.
Okay?
You're high, okay?
Just Let's deal with it.
- Okay?
- [Code] I'm not high.
I'm thinking completely clearly.
- Listen to what I'm saying.
- [Christine] Yes, you are, baby.
[arguing continues]
[Code] This is nuts.
He's been eaten. Eaten, like, chomped off.
- Lisa. A little help?
- [Code] This is nuts. This is crazy.
- [Christine] I know this is crazy.
- How can you be involved with this?
- Because he's a star, is that it?
- [Christine] No, it's not!
- Why? Because
- Code, shut up!
Don't tell me to shut up.
I don't even know who you are anymore.
Fine.
Maybe we're just not
a good match then. Yeah?
Because I don't even like your band.
There.
I said it.
Here. Give me his legs.
[grunting]
Are you coming or not?
Were you always like this?
Hey.
I know you.
Lucy's Eye.
You're Lucy.
I'm Code.
Lisa's friend.
Lisa and I used to go out.
Long time ago.
We were almost in love.
You were?
Yeah.
The sexual chemistry was really intense.
But then we were better friends.
We fell out of touch, got back in touch.
You know how there's some people
who you just tell everything?
We were in love too.
[chuckles] You and Lisa?
Yes.
Really?
She never mentioned me?
No.
She did.
Lots of times.
She said you were an actress.
[scoffs]
[ringing]
[Lou] James?
Hello?
[Jonathan] Dad?
Jonathan?
Where? Where are you?
Where are you, buddy? Are you okay?
I'm at the beach.
What? You're
You're not at the beach. Where?
Tell me where you are, buddy.
- I'm at the beach.
- Jonathan! Jonathan!
What'd they do to you?
Tell me where you are
[line disconnects]
["Tomorrow, Wendy" playing]
[Christine] What was it like?
I mean, what did it feel like?
[Lisa] Hmm.
Kinda like
opening a birthday present.
Special.
It is complete now ♪
Two ends of time are neatly tied ♪
- Should we say something?
- Yeah.
Fuck this man.
She's walking to the end of the line
And there she meets ♪
Faces she sees in her heart and mind ♪
They say ♪
Goodbye ♪
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Mary.
Why are you wearing a raincoat, Mary?
[Roy] Lisa!
Yeah?
[sighs] Um
I've got some
pretty self-destructive impulses.
And I think you bring those out of me.
And
I guess what I'm saying is
that I feel like
from a career
and a personal safety point of view,
I can't get addicted to you.
And I don't want to.
And
I think this has to be goodbye for good.
Yeah, I get that.
Okay.
So
Bye.
Bye.
