The Crossing (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

1 DHS is holding a group of people against their will in a camp.
Don't jump into a volcano again.
Previously on "The Crossing" - [Gunshot.]
- There's a federal agent missing.
I think her superior, Lindauer, had something to do with it.
He's some sort of prodigy.
Scary smart.
Almost like he could Tell the future.
Oh.
Look what I found.
With the serial number shaved off.
This really the play you want to make, Sheriff? - Get your ass in the car.
- Let's go.
I found this rash on her neck.
DR.
FLEISCHER: It's not even a rash.
I think it's a brand.
She's been branded.
HANNAH: I was meant to find you.
They said if I found you I'd be okay.
REBECCA: Leah is completely healed.
Leah's mother.
She's here, isn't she? Apex.
You can't trust them.
Aren't you forgetting someone? - Mister Hops! - [Laughs.]
That was close.
You ready to go? I don't want to see either one of you back here again, okay? Okay.
Oh, we wanted to say goodbye to Dr.
Forbin.
You and me both.
Apparently she's already moved on to another assignment.
Oh, uh, too bad.
Bye, Nurse Lindsay.
Bye, sweetheart.
- [Coughing.]
- [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
Get Dr.
Fleischer, please.
I need him immediately.
[Coughing continues.]
We weren't sure you were ever gonna wake up.
[Breathing heavily.]
Here.
Okay.
Okay, easy.
Easy.
You haven't had a sip in weeks.
Okay, okay.
Shh.
[Breathing heavily.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
Why are they all staring at me? [Sighs.]
Everyone in the camp loves someone who got sick just like you did, but the people they love, they didn't get better, so they're all just surprised and happy to see you.
DR.
FLEISCHER: You've essentially been asleep for two weeks.
When you swallow as much ocean water as you did, the sodium levels in your blood spike.
And that causes your brain to swell, puts your lights out.
So we hooked you up to some IV fluid and gradually brought your levels back down to normal.
I don't want you talking to anybody, do you understand? [Explosion, people screaming.]
Did a man named Eli come here with the others? I'm sorry.
Probably didn't make it out the water.
Good.
I have work to do.
[Indistinct conversations in distance.]
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
This isn't half bad.
Glad you think so.
I look forward to your Yelp review.
Would've been five stars but for the unlawful detainment.
Well, I found a .
9mm throwaway in your glove box, and I like the brains inside my head, so agree to disagree.
As I might've mentioned, the gun belongs to an ongoing investigation.
Emma Ren What about that? - Is that an ongoing investigation? - Unfortunately, yes.
She's been missing for several days.
I don't know what to think.
I've been in touch with her parents.
- She's their only child.
- Don't do that.
Don't waste my time doing an impersonation of a human being.
I don't entirely understand your little game here, Sheriff, but please show some decency.
Emma is a friend.
Does that make it harder being complicit in her disappearance? [Scoffs.]
You know, it's sad.
This makes perfect sense coming from a man in your position.
Big-city cop melts down, moves to a small town, but things are too simple there, so he finds ways to complicate them.
You suffered trauma in the line of duty.
PTSD is a foregone conclusion.
You're an active-duty sheriff presenting with paranoia and delusions of persecution.
Psychology Today subscriber.
I knew it.
I like it, too, all right? I read it in the can.
You need to get help before you make a career-ending mistake.
Taking out Emma just doesn't fit your psychological profile, does it? No, you're well-educated, clean-cut, precise.
Whatever happened to her, it wasn't part of your plan.
Of course, nothing is really part of the plan lately, is it? There's something about those 47 people that washed up on that beach that put your world into a tailspin.
You realize you're conflating me with your old sergeant.
You think if you get your man this time, it fixes the mistakes of your past.
It's a lot simpler than that.
I can't help myself.
I will take you down.
And if you try to "permanent solution" me again or if I go missing, everything I got on you goes straight to people that demand answers for a living.
What will they be demanding answers to? Let's start with the earlier migration 10 years ago.
Why are you covering it up? Maybe it's because you're using them, using their knowledge of the future.
Or maybe Maybe what? Maybe you're one of them.
[Knock on door.]
Mayor would like to talk to you.
Take a message.
I did.
And then she showed up.
[Indistinct conversations, telephone ringing.]
I got an odd phone call this morning.
Are you holding a DHS official? Who called you? Do you have grounds? I have questions.
What questions? [Sighs.]
Cut him loose, please, and start praying I can stop DHS from making you some federal prosecutor's breakfast.
I need more time.
Look, you don't know what's going on here.
Then enlighten me.
His name is Craig Lindauer.
His people had me float this story that there weren't any survivors from Thorn Beach.
There were 47.
They're keeping them up at Camp Tamanowas.
And I don't know if they're safe.
Wait.
The secret FEMA camp? I thought that whole thing was a hoax.
What is going on up there? I don't know.
That's why I pulled him in.
I want to talk to him.
Mr.
Lindauer.
Vanessa Conway, mayor of Port Canaan.
It's a pleasure.
I'm told you're operating a detention facility in my backyard.
Uh, yes, a temporary housing situation, pending the resettlement of our guests.
Curious Where are your guests visiting from? Unclear.
Look, there are over 350,000 immigration detainees in this country as we speak.
This camp isn't out of the ordinary.
It is if they're Americans.
They all speak American English, but we have no evidence that supports American citizenship.
None.
I-I can see you're concerned, and, uh, I want to help.
It's a little unusual, but how would you feel about a furlough? I could bring some of my people into town for a supervised visit.
We could even do it today.
They get a little taste of the promised land, and you get to put eyes on, ease any fears you might have.
I think that sounds like a good idea, and I appreciate your transparency, even if it was an afterthought.
Jude? [Keys jingling.]
[Handcuffs clicking.]
If anything goes sideways today I'm gonna come after you.
[Indistinct conversations in distance.]
CALEB: Hey, I know you're worried about her.
She'll be fine.
You didn't see the way they were looking at her.
You didn't say anything, did you? About what? That she came here with an Apex.
No.
Why would I do that? Hey.
Hey.
Leah's safe.
Nobody knows about her mother.
You're overthinking this.
I'm overthinking this? You're hoarding food because you think that the guards may pull our meals.
[Scoffs.]
Yeah, I guess this place is making us both a little crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- [Door opens.]
- Rebecca! We won! They called my name and your name! Just come on! BRYCE: Hannah.
Peter.
And John.
Now, if your name wasn't called this time, don't worry.
Everyone will get a turn.
We plan on making the day pass a weekly occurrence - until you've been processed.
- Shh, shh, shh! If your name was called, over to the bus ASAP.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Uh, sorry, we missed the announcement.
Day trip into town.
You and Leah be on that bus in 10, okay? I told you we won! Yes, you did.
All right, go grab something warm to put on.
We got a bus to catch.
Go! [Indistinct conversations continue.]
Maybe you should wait, go on the next one.
[Door closes.]
Babe, it's Leah's first day out in weeks.
She's gonna love this.
I know, but I would really feel better if we saw people go on today's trip and come back safe.
Let someone else be guinea pigs.
Okay.
But you be safe, all right? All right.
[Indistinct conversations.]
REECE: One two three quatro.
BRYCE: Okay.
We're a few miles away from our destination.
I think you all understand our concern about your interactions with townsfolk.
For your safety, the topics of how you arrived and where you came from are off-limits.
EJ and Roy will outfit each of you with a tracking bracelet.
Do not tamper with these devices.
Getting lost is understandable.
Attempting to run is not.
It's a violation of U.
S.
law.
It puts your pending citizenship in danger, and it will end day-pass privileges for the whole camp.
Okay, that's my speech.
Enjoy yourselves.
[Sighs.]
So you need to take it easy.
Lots of rest and fluids.
And don't exert yourself.
I'll be back every two hours to check on you.
Who holds the keys here? - Um - Who's in charge? Agent Foster.
But he's in town today.
I need to talk to him.
Sure, when he's back.
But in the meantime, you need to eat something and get your blood sugar up.
Okay? I'll go get you something.
Are there markers? Excuse me? A writing implement with a wide, fibrous tip.
I'll see what I can find.
NESTOR: Well, they didn't give us any names, but with 10 of them coming, it's a 1 in 4 chance that Hannah's among them.
So you're gonna be a guide.
- What, like a tour guide? - Yeah.
Why? I-I don't know any of the town's history.
Well, why should you? You only lived here your whole life.
Look, I just want you to see if you can find out what's going on at that camp.
Hey, let me ask you something.
She ever tell you anything about herself? Uh, she's from Metolius, and she had a messed-up childhood.
That's about all I know.
Okay.
Am I getting paid for this? No.
- Hey.
- Hmm? Try to relax, okay? [Brakes squeal.]
Right on time.
- Agent Foster? - Yes, ma'am.
- Vanessa Conway.
- Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
- Thanks for having us.
- Good to meet you, too.
[Indistinct conversations.]
That's Reece's daughter.
Uh, I'm on kid duty.
You cover calls.
NESTOR: Copy that.
[Indistinct conversations.]
JUDE: Well, well, well.
If it isn't the sweatshirt thief.
You gave it to me.
I don't know.
That doesn't sound like me.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You're Jude, the sheriff.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm Rebecca.
I just want to say thank you so much for that day on the beach.
Oh, I wish I could've done more.
I'm glad to see that Dr.
Forbin has worked her magic here on Ms.
Leah.
She owes me a hoodie.
[Chuckles.]
[Seagulls crying.]
You're here.
How'd you know? Friends in high places.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Been trying to phone, like, nonstop.
Yeah.
Sorry.
It, uh, just stopped working.
I like that you're worried, though.
Who said I was worried? [Laughs.]
[Laughs.]
[Laughing.]
You're such a [Indistinct talking.]
Well, since Leah and I here have a history, I thought that, uh, I could show you guys around.
What do you think? - Yeah, sure.
- "Yeah, sure.
" Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I'm only the sheriff here.
Come on.
So, how is everything up there? - At the camp? - Mm-hmm.
It's fine.
Are you sure about that? [Indistinct conversations.]
I've just seen, uh, some pictures electric fences and extra guards and Someone called for help from in there.
Oh.
We're safe.
We're treated well.
We've been given a day out in town.
This is amazing.
I mean, people are just They're out.
You know, it's It's very different than where we're from.
Than when you're from.
I know.
I'm not supposed to talk about that.
[Beeping.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
What does that even mean? JUDE: People here buy a lot of crap they don't need.
Lower the curtain You have so much, you know, clothing and blankets and food and all the things that people desperately needed where we came from.
Hey.
You don't need to be afraid to talk to me.
I know that there's something going on up at that camp, and if if you're being mistreated No.
No.
It's It's not that.
It's, um I'm afraid for Leah.
Well, she's healthy now.
That's the problem.
It's how she got healthy.
Her mother.
You know about that? Then you know what she is.
Yeah.
If the people up at the camp, if they found that out, they would make Leah a target.
But she hasn't done anything.
It doesn't matter.
It's the things that Apex did.
Any affiliation, doesn't matter how innocent you are, it marks you.
So where is she? Leah's mother? I don't know.
Something shimmering and white I think you'll like this one.
It leads you here Despite your destination Under the Milky Way tonight [Eerie music plays.]
Hey.
See anything you like? [Beeping.]
[Rapid beeping.]
[Grunting.]
Coming up on my left, your right, is where I got my first vandalism charge.
A statue of a guy was a popular spot to smoke pot in 10th grade.
- Pot? - Marijuana.
It's what 10th-grade screw-ups use to get high.
- What Ray said.
- Not my name.
Anyway, I got caught spray-painting nipples on this guy.
I thought what Statue Guy stood for is far more powerful if we remember he was once just a man, like us.
And what do we all have? What did Abe Lincoln have? - Wow.
- Nipples, Ron.
Nipples.
Sometimes, they even wash up on the shore, you know? [Laughs.]
- Yeah.
- Hey, guys.
Let's try to stick together.
Sorry.
[Sighs.]
You know, this is like torture for me.
Sorry to be a bother.
No, it's [Sighs.]
Look, I-I can't walk next to you and not want to hold your hand, and knowing that you got to go back to that camp at the end of the day, it's it's painful.
We can't.
Where are you going? Hey.
Hey! Hey! [Laughs.]
[Hannah breathing heavily.]
[Both laugh.]
[Breathes deeply.]
Why? [Breathing heavily.]
Do you trust me? [Breathing heavily.]
[Hannah laughs.]
[Motor running.]
Hannah! Please don't be mad! I'll meet you back at the bus! I'll be fine! Whoo! [Indistinct talking.]
GIRL: [Screaming.]
Mama! [Laughs.]
Hey.
Sounds scary, but they're having a good time.
You ever been on a swing? Miss Leah, you've never been on a swing? That's unacceptable.
It looks dangerous.
Nonsense! You're in danger of having fun, kid.
Come on.
Let's go.
Watch out! [Grunts.]
All right.
Butt in the swing.
Up.
All right.
There you go.
Wrap your paws around these.
Hold on real tight.
Now, when I let go, you're gonna reach out with your feet as far as you can, just like these guys over here, okay? And then when you're coming back, bend your knees.
[Grunts.]
Right! Reach out! Now bend 'em.
There you go.
- [Laughs.]
- Good! Bend your knees.
- Yes! - Reach out.
You're a natural.
- [Laughs.]
- Good.
- All right.
- Yay! You're on your own now.
[Indistinct talking, laughter.]
What time is it? 10 minutes later than the last time you asked.
Hey.
Whales are on the wall, just so you know.
They're not going anywhere.
[Seagulls crying.]
I have to use the bathroom.
All right.
We'll wait here.
[Door creaks, closes.]
- Mama? - Shh! - Mama! - Hey, baby girl.
[Sighs.]
[Laughs.]
JUDE: Hey.
[Sighs.]
You don't want to do this.
You don't know what I want.
Come here, kid.
Let's do something about that bracelet.
All right.
Let me see.
There you go.
All right.
This is gonna feel a little icky and cold, okay? But it's gonna help.
Ready? [Inhales sharply.]
You okay? Oh! Gee! [Chuckles.]
All right.
Come on, baby girl.
[Vehicle door opens.]
Be careful.
You be careful, too.
[Vehicle door opens.]
[Engine starts.]
Leah? Leah! - Was that - Yes.
- She's with her mother now.
- No.
It's for the best.
No, you have no idea what you've just done.
Hey.
You want Leah to be safe.
I can't think of anybody that can keep her safer than that woman right there.
Anyone that stands between her and that kid is not long for this world.
Please.
Let it go.
[Seagulls crying.]
MARSHALL: First boy to break your heart? Um, Micah.
Only boy to break my heart.
Micah We grew up together.
Our dads were best friends.
And when things got really bad, um, his family moved in with us.
We shared everything beds, food.
There wasn't enough food half the time, and we thought he'd disappear.
He was so skinny.
And then 'round 16, it was like, overnight, he just had these big, broad shoulders and arms and facial hair.
Suddenly, there was Micah.
Okay.
Yeah, I got the picture.
Uh, so I guess you grew up poor.
Yeah.
We don't have to talk about that.
We're having such a good time.
No, come on.
I mean it.
I want to know about you.
When we met at Harborfest I recognized you.
Before I-I came to Port Canaan someone gave me a locket with your picture in it.
They told me to find you.
They said you were a good man and that you'd help me.
Someone from Metolius put my picture in a locket? Someone from Metolius in 2194.
Me and those people at that camp, we we came here to escape a war in the future.
And this is the part where you tell me you're joking and tell me the real story? I know how it sounds.
[Sighs.]
That's why I didn't say anything before.
Okay, um I mean, what do I say to that? It's the truth, Marshall.
Mm.
What are you thinking? I was just thinking that this conversation requires some whiskey.
Ever had it? I'll hit the liquor store down the beach.
You're gonna love it.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, what's going on? [Indistinct conversations.]
You have to see this.
You know what that writing is? Yeah.
I do.
[Upbeat rock music plays, indistinct conversations.]
What are you doing? You're supposed to be with Hannah and the others.
No.
Tour's over.
Okay.
What'd you find out? That I should've gone to L.
A.
with Claire.
That's what I found out.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Young lady.
You're too pretty to be sad.
Oh, my God.
See something you like? I can cut you a really good price.
Depression discount.
This is my locket.
10 bucks, it's yours.
No, no, I lost this in the water.
Where did you find it? Lady, if you're not gonna buy it, put it down.
I'm not buying my own locket from you, and I don't have any money.
Uh, hey! Help! She stole from me! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on to her! She stole from me! He's trying to sell it, but it's mine.
I-I lost it when we washed up on the Be quiet.
Here.
We gave you an easy set of rules.
I guess you're just not that interested in citizenship.
Hey, are you guys from the refugee camp? Didn't we take care of your thing? Piss off.
EJ.
Back to the bus.
My apologies, sir.
- Wait.
- Hannah.
No, wait.
Roy.
Wait.
That guy has my locket, the one I lost, the only thing I brought from home.
Remember? Roy! We have to go back.
Hannah, I don't care.
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
Roy.
Please talk to me.
Yes, sir.
Understood.
[Sighs.]
We're short one on the head count.
HQ's on it.
Our orders are to take these back.
They're sending another unit for the missing one.
How'd they know? I just finished the head count.
We've got our orders.
[Indistinct conversations.]
What's wrong? [Beeping, whirring.]
Move in.
[Paper rustling.]
Do you want to play a game? - Yeah.
- [Laughs.]
Here's the game.
I want you to find a town on the map, and based on the town's name, I want you to guess what it's like, and should we live there? There's a town called Square "Butt".
[Both laugh.]
[Static, high-pitched whirring.]
Mama? What's wrong? [Static, whirring continue.]
[Keys jingle.]
Come on.
Let's go.
Come on.
[Car alarm chirps.]
Belt on.
[Vehicle door closes, engine starts.]
[Tires squeal.]
You seen this? [Sighs.]
Great.
What's wrong? We missed something today.
What do you mean? You sent the kid off with her mom, got one over on Lindauer.
It's a good day.
No.
It was too easy.
[Engine revs.]
He's been five moves ahead of us.
[Engine revving.]
[Knock on door.]
[Door opens.]
- Hello.
- Can I come in? [Insects chirping.]
[Door closes.]
How can you write in Apex? I didn't have a choice.
You belong to them.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Sir? I wanted to apologize again for my colleague, and, uh Well, I wa I was wondering if you still had that, uh Oh.
Uh 25 bucks.
Sure.
This is a romantic gesture.
Have a good one.
You might not want to open that, Romeo.
[Engine revving.]
[Tires screeching.]
- [Screams.]
- [Grunts.]
[Tires screeching.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Metal clinking.]
[Grunts.]
LEAH: Mom? [Grunting.]
[Whimpering.]
Ow! Mama! [Grunting.]
- [Electricity crackling.]
- [Groans.]
LEAH: Mama! - No! - Mama! - [Crackling continues.]
- [Grunts.]
Mama! [Slow, dramatic music plays, slow-motion moaning.]
[Echoing.]
Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Target acquired.
