Limetown (2019) s01e09 Episode Script
Apples and Oranges
Previously on "Limetown" I need this, Mark.
You're ill, Lia.
- [SCOFFS.]
- You have to stop.
My name is Deirdre Wells, and I was responsible for The Panic at Limetown.
How long have you had the tech? Traitor! The turn to violence escalated quickly after that.
In the middle of the most traumatic thing I've had the misfortune of experiencing, something miraculous happened.
Finally, it was him.
[MAN SHOUTING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Deirdre, I need to hear the name.
I turned the wire off because I already knew the answer.
Psst.
Apple.
Don't let them stop you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[CELL PHONE CONTINUES VIBRATING.]
- Hello? - Hello, Miss Haddock.
Hello.
Who is this? Miss Haddock, I'd like you to please listen carefully.
Are you listening? Yes.
I have all the answers about Limetown everything you've ever wondered, everything you're still wondering.
Before I continue, I need to know, are these answers the most important thing to you? How do I know that this is real? A perfectly reasonable question, Miss Haddock, hence the thumb drive.
Kindly disconnect your computer from the office Wi-Fi and plug the thumb drive into your laptop.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Oh, and I will know if you are still connected, because I'm monitoring your desktop.
Hello.
That's me.
Kindly disconnect.
I'll wait.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Play the video audio on, of course.
Why is the light flashing? They're gonna see us.
I'm working on it.
Does the phone work? Where did they all come from? That doesn't matter right now.
Does the phone work? - Oh, thank God.
- 911.
Hello? Can you hear me? We need emergency services in Limetown ambulances, firemen, police.
Damn it, just send all the army.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
- Who are you? - Oh, we'll get to that, dear.
But I must ask again, is knowing all the answers the most important thing to you? Where have you been? I've been calling you nonstop.
Didn't you land three hours ago? You can't do this, Lia, not right now.
Jesus, Gina, what is going on? You don't know.
Know what? Lia, Mark is dead.
Wait.
W-what? He was found dead in his apartment.
He hit his head.
He bled to death.
He tried calling me around the time it happened, but he didn't leave a message.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[SCOFFS.]
I wa I was just with him.
Before I flew we we slept together at his apartment, and then and then I just left for the airport.
[CRYING SOFTLY.]
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[SOBS.]
Gina, was he was he murdered? I don't know.
But you don't think - I do.
- You Considering Max's murder and probably Warren's - It should have been me.
- Don't say that.
- I did all of this.
- Don't think like that.
It's not helping anyone.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Okay.
I came in here because I think I have this major lead, but but now I just can't.
What is it? There's someone who claims to have all the answers to everything we've been looking for I mean, what happened after The Panic, where everyone is now.
Is it credible? I believe the source.
Why? Because she has footage of the 911 call from inside Limetown.
What? I have an address I can't share, and I have to broadcast it live, which is just I don't I don't know.
You don't know what? It's just it's not right.
I can't I can't do this.
Lia, the best thing you can do for Mark is to do your job, find out who's responsible for all this.
[TELEPHONE RINGING.]
Yes? Uh, oh, thank you.
I'll be right there.
[RECEIVER CLATTERS.]
That was reception.
You're going to walk out of here right now.
Don't go out the front.
Don't go out the employee exit.
Go downstairs and out on 4th.
The FBI is about to seize everything related to Limetown.
I hope you have what you need with you.
I'll make sure the broadcast goes out.
Thanks, Gina.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- Can I get you something? - Uh, coffee, black.
Okay.
Sure.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Apple I found you.
All right, look this is hard, so, um I'll just start.
I know how much you've gone through.
And I know that I certainly played a role in that.
And I'm really sorry.
But the people Who are responsible for what's happening right now for killing Max, Warren, for threatening your mother those people would like to erase Limetown and pretend it never existed.
They want to erase the tech.
They want to erase the people, and they almost did.
But you have made sure that they didn't erase the story.
And the story is the most powerful thing, and it's out there now, and everybody knows about it, and they can't bury it in a shallow grave like they did with everything else.
You did that.
You did that, Lia.
You have accomplished so much.
You are so smart.
I wasn't so sure you would pick up the trail in Wyoming, but So you convinced Winona to speak to me and then Warren? Yeah, but you got to Max and to Deirdre.
You did that on your own.
You're very good.
I'm very very proud of you.
[LAUGHS.]
You've always been very good.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
But you knew where to find me this whole time.
I could not be in contact with someone I love.
But people got hurt anyway.
- People are dead.
- I know.
I know.
I know that.
I know.
I didn't think it was gonna turn out like this.
I really didn't.
I had no idea that they were capable of what they're capable of.
But it can end right now.
You're asking me to stop? Mm-hmm.
Yes, I am right now.
We'll walk out of here, we'll walk away from Limetown, and we'll start over again you, me, and your mother.
- No more secrets? - No.
No.
No more secrets.
I've tried so hard to fix my mistakes for so many years, and I just can't.
I keep failing over and over and over and over again, so I can't do it anymore.
I need you Apple.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
[GROANS.]
- You know who this is? - Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
[GROANS.]
Come with me instead.
Come with me, and we'll finish what you started.
No.
I can't.
You owe this to us.
No.
I That's not gonna work, Lia.
Why not? I know you have no real reason to listen to me, but that person right there Is the single most terrifying person that I have ever met in my life.
I have looked into the minds of thousands and thousands and thousands of people the good, the bad, and the ugly and she is none of those.
She is something else something that I have never been able to make sense of in all the years since.
That person is capable of anything, and you cannot you cannot go there.
But is what she's saying true? Does she have all the answers? Yes.
But I can tell you with great certainty That the whole truth is not something that you want to learn.
If you talk to me on the record, then I don't have to go.
No, honey.
No, I can't do that.
- Help me.
- No, Lia, I can't.
Lia, I am not even supposed to exist and it has to stay that way.
Then I have to see the story to the end.
No, you don't.
Let this be the end.
Let this just be the end of it, okay? You're just scared.
[CHUCKLES.]
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
You have no idea what I have been through.
You have no idea what I have sacrificed.
I was alone.
And I'm still alone.
You have no idea what I've been through.
You were alone by choice.
I'm alone 'cause everybody left.
You left.
[SIGHS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Lia.
It's wait.
No, Apple, don't.
No, no, no.
Don't.
Don't.
Please.
Please don't.
No, please don't go.
Please.
Hi.
You've reached Jacob Haddock.
Please leave a brief message, unless it's Lia, in which case, I know that's impossible.
Voice mail box full.

Well, I hope this thing is working.
[CHUCKLES.]
Check, check, check.
Test.
Test.

Sounds good to me.
Okay, well, welcome, everyone who is listening right now.
As you can tell, this is kind of an on-the-fly operation.
Um I am about to be speaking with Uh, well, t-that's unclear, and all I know is that it's someone who has information about Limetown and, more importantly, someone who probably has physical evidence from The Panic and more maybe.
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN.]
Aha.
Lia Haddock? Yes.
Hi.
Hello, Lia Haddock.
Would you like to come on in? I'm the only one here, and I don't bite.
Come on.
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Okay.
Here we go.
[DOOR CREAKING.]
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[TIMER CLICKS, TICKING.]
Why did you just start the timer? What do you think the tech developed in Limetown is worth? Whatever you think it is, it's more than that.
So now, ask yourself how far somebody would go to protect that.
If you could rule the world and I mean really rule it where would you draw the line on allowing anything to endanger your success? - [TIMER BELL DINGS.]
- Ding.
Brace yourself.
You're ill, Lia.
