Point Pleasant s01e10 Episode Script

- Previously on Point Pleasant.
- Hi, Daddy.
I'm making you this tape because I'm going to die today.
- We found her.
- Atlantic City, south side.
Hello, Lucas.
Thank you for the scarf, but I'm really not sure that it's me.
- I'm Judy.
- Nick.
You picking up a end-of-the-world signal from this crowd? Do I need to die? I should, God.
Faith means nothing until it's tested.
- I brought you back.
- You asked me if you had to die.
No! Jesse! - My friends are in there! - I know.
I'm not letting you go.
- Did I just kill that guy? - He tried to kill me, and you stopped him.
I felt it.
We're stronger together.
I think we were put here to save each other.
Did you sleep well? I haven't slept well since you choked me to death 70 years ago.
Pass the pepper.
Relatively speaking- compared to the flophouse that I found you in.
And the pepper's right in front of you.
The mattress is better here.
The company was better at the flophouse.
Oh.
Terry.
- How was last night? - Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend? Holly, Terry.
Terry, Holly.
- Now, please go on- - I'm sure Lucas has already told you about me.
I've, uh, only been working for Mr.
Boyd for- Terry? Report.
You don't have to worry about Christina, sir.
She's hanging out with Jesse Parker.
There was a fire last night, and he pulled her out.
It was intense.
Always has to be a fly in the ointment, doesn't there? So, am I just supposed to walk around in this one dress forever or are you gonna take me shopping? Holly, dear, as always you will have everything you need.
But right now the grown-ups are talking.
Mr.
Boyd, Jesse's a real stand-up guy.
He'll keep Christina safe.
Her father would be glad to know she's got a guy like him around.
Thank you, Terry.
I'll keep that in mind.
That's not good.
You said you saw Jesse have a strange effect on Christina.
- If he is the one- - We don't know that yet.
But I intend to find out.
Aren't we forgetting something? Take her out, buy her whatever she wants.
And, Wes, I don't want you taking your eyes off of her.
You keep her on a short leash.
Have you got a short leash? Thanks for coming over.
I would have met you, but I have to be here when Mr.
Burke wakes up to give him his medication.
It's all right.
I like it here.
It's cozy.
That's not what this is about though, is it- cozy? Do you believe in destiny? Not when I can help it.
It's just, all the stuff we were talking about last night.
How powerful I feel around you, how we're made for something- I know you feel it too.
Jesse you saved my life.
You're my hero.
I know that you're feeling invincible right now but I need you to promise me that you're gonna stay safe that you're gonna stay away from Mr.
Boyd.
- You have no idea how dangerous he can be.
- But, Christina- What happened last night, we have to try not to read too much into it.
Ever hear the story about the 90-pound woman who lifted a burning truck to save her baby? I think so, but I don't remember the burning part.
People can do incredible things when the person that they- that they care about is in danger.
You can say it, you know.
"It"? Or I'll say it.
- Christina, I- - Terry.
! Terry.
! It's me, Jesse, Mr.
Burke.
Terry's not here right now.
I'll be right in.
I'll let you do your thing.
- This'll just take a minute.
- I should go anyway.
I promised Judy I'd meet her, and you've got stuff, so- I'll see you later though.
Okay? Aah.
What the hell are you doing in Terry's house? - You spend the night here? - No, I just got there.
It's like a sickness with you.
Are you gonna follow me around for the rest of my life and make a move on whoever I'm with? Wait a minute.
You're with Terry now? You were just inside there.
Did he forget to mention that? Actually, Terry's not home.
I was in there talking to Jesse.
Oh.
Look, Paula, I know things are weird and I'm sorry but there's absolutely nothing going on between me and Terry.
You two looked very cozy at the party last night.
We had a conversation.
That's all.
Well, where is Terry? Mr.
Boyd's? Why would he be at Mr.
Boyd's? Why? He works there now.
Ben, it's Amber.
I-I'm glad I caught you.
I can't talk here.
Then at your office.
It's important.
All right.
Meet me at 10:00.
Father Matthew? I need you to sign something.
Bless me, Sarah, for I have sinned.
And I'm about to sin again.
Shh.
Hello? - Shh.
- Father Matthew? Father? Jesse.
Would you like to confess? No.
No, uh, I really just wanted to talk.
Join me in my office.
That's it, Sarah.
You just let me do all the work.
He's dead.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
Don't you get it? This is what you've been feeling your whole life.
You lived by the grace of God.
He brought you back from the dead.
But what else can you do? You can keep looking for someone to blame, or you can just come clean.
Now, you cannot keep living with this secret.
You have to tell Meg.
I can't.
This would kill her if she found this out.
- You want her to go through that? - She's stronger than you think.
- The truth is what she needs- - Amber, Meg is sick.
She can't tell the difference between truth and dreams half the time.
Well, maybe she'd be better if she just faced the reality.
No.
I'll tell her when I think she can handle it.
Until then, this is our little secret.
Okay? Okay.
Jesse's definitely a part of this somehow.
He feels it too.
He doesn't get the whole picture, but- As long as he understands the danger, you don't have to fill him in on everything.
Yeah, I-I just think- Once he finds out what I really am- Hey, Chris, you're not a "what.
" Boyd is a "what.
" You're still a "who.
" "Still"? No, I didn't mean "still" as in, just a matter of time before you're gonna become a "what.
" I mean, "still" as in- So, have you guys had sex yet, or what? What? Where did that come from? Conversational shock tactic.
Digs me out of awkward moments.
But seriously- Not yet.
Oh, Judy, when he kisses me- I can't even explain it.
It's- It's, like transcendent.
- It kinda scares me.
- Well, you're falling in love.
It's not one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse.
Is it? No! But Terry working for Boyd might be.
Why would he recruit Terry if he wasn't using him to get to Jesse somehow? Terry is Jesse's best friend.
He's not gonna do anything to hurt Jesse.
Yeah, but Boyd can make people do his bidding, whether they want to or not.
If I'm gonna fight him I've gotta learn how to control the things I can do without being in a blind rage first.
You did do something incredible last night.
Father David? That's one power I am never gonna touch again.
You brought him back from the dead.
What if you could control it? What if you could bring back someone important to me? Judy I can't bring your sister back.
What I did last night? That wasn't really Father David.
He was wrong.
He was dark.
You're right.
Absolutely.
Your boyfriend's here.
Oh, my God.
It's Nick.
That presumptuous leech had the nerve to physically restrain me last night.
How do I look? No, I'm sorry.
Forget it.
We have to figure out what we're doing about this Boyd-Jesse situation.
You just worry about living your life.
I'll handle things with Boyd.
He's walking over.
Hey, Chris, don't do anything- Hey.
Hey, if I make a sudden move towards my coffee you're not gonna feel compelled to grab me, are ya? - Only if it's on fire.
- Ah.
Yes.
The fire excuse.
So, what's up? If you're here for more pithy banter, I'm kinda hung-over.
No, let's skip that.
I like you.
Will you go out with me tonight? This town has really changed.
I grew up here, you know.
- I died here too.
- Yeah, and done quite a bit of living since then.
Hmm, is that a little judgment I hear? Is Vernor's Malt Shop still standing? - I don't know.
I've never heard of it.
- Can we go see? It's by the pier.
Mr.
Boyd was very specific.
We're shopping for clothes and nothing else.
Fine.
Let's shop.
Well? What do you think? I think, uh- I think Mr.
Boyd would approve.
You don't like me very much, do you, Wes? Be honest.
I'm a big girl.
- I don't like the way you treat Mr.
Boyd.
- How should I treat him? You could appreciate him more.
It's funny.
I was planning on saying the same thing to him about you.
How much, exactly, has my mom told you about me? How much, exactly, has my mom told you about me? Did she tell you how she's lied to me for years about who my real father is? Or about how I died for seven hours? Anything said to me, in or out of the confessional I treat as confidential.
But I can tell you that your mother cherishes you.
I'm not sure "cherish" even covers it.
I know what you mean.
My mom still thinks I'm gonna be pope one day.
Father, do you believe it's possible for a person to be chosen? I mean, put here for a purpose that goes beyond- I sound like an idiot.
I'll bet Moses sounded like an idiot to his contemporaries.
And Noah? They were just men.
I think many of the tragedies that have happened over the years could have been averted if only the right person listened when God tried to speak.
Are you saying that I'm- Anything's possible.
That's all I mean.
But I wouldn't share this with anyone else, Jesse.
They might not understand.
I know how it sounds.
That's why it's a good thing you came to me.
I hope you'll let me be your confidant in this and in all things.
Paula says you're working for Boyd.
A guy's gotta make a living, right? He's not a good person.
Believe me, he'll make your life hell.
I can take care of myself.
Anyway, I did you a favor.
I told him you were in good hands with Jesse, so maybe your dad doesn't worry so much.
He asked about me and Jesse? That's part of his job, isn't it? Keeping you safe.
Keeping me safe? You think you're working for reasonable people here? My father doesn't think that anyone is good enough for me.
He's hurt people who have gotten too close.
I need to know what Boyd said when you told him about me and Jesse.
You're Jesse's best friend.
Do you want him to get hurt? What did Boyd say? - What did he say? - He didn't really say anything.
He was kinda preoccupied.
- Preoccupied with what? - I don't know.
His girlfriend, business.
Girlfriend? He has a woman there? Whatever.
I shouldn't have said anything, okay? Just be careful, Terry.
I'm serious.
Hey.
What else did Paula say? You mean, about you and her? Don't say anything to Jesse.
Okay? I should tell him myself.
Sarah? What are you doing in here? I- I don't know.
I can't remember.
Some-Someone was- - I can't remember.
- It's okay, Sarah.
- Everything's okay.
- No.
No, it's not.
Did you find out what you needed to know? Is Jesse Parker the one we were worried about? He is.
So, is someone getting offed around here or what? I think that's a safe bet.
Always has to be someone who comes out of the woodwork to ruin everything.
Jesse Parker.
The lifeguard.
Whatever happened to subtlety? Things are happening faster than I anticipated.
Won't be long before the others come.
They could already be here.
Fly in the ointment never emerges till late in the game.
You taught me that.
This time the fly's gonna be our salvation.
Yeah, as soon as we kill him.
Do we do it tonight? Wes, try to think a little multidimensionally here.
Christina's not the first project of her kind.
In the past, our predecessors have always failed when some "chosen one" came along.
Don't you see the difference this time the reason we won't fail? Their savior and our little girl are falling in love.
And this helps us somehow.
I choose the right moment to pull Jesse Parker off the board he could be the key to turning Christina.
There's nothing more volatile than the heart of a woman.
You destroy that, you destroy her soul.
Yeah, which is, you know, poetic, sir, but it's too risky.
We have to eliminate Jesse Parker before he ruins everything.
I'm not even sure he really can be killed.
He's been dead before.
But we have to try.
Look, Lucas, I know you've been distracted, but- - I mean, Mr.
Boyd.
- Distracted? Your friend, sir? You give her everything, and she just- Wes go wash the car.
Coming! Meg, hi- A- Are you okay? Come in.
- Stop pretending to be my friend.
- What? I know you don't give a damn about the sanctity of marriage.
I know it takes two to tango.
But I cannot comprehend the smug, perverse pleasure you must get from acting like my girlfriend while you steal my husband.
I heard you and Ben in his office talking about your secret.
I- I-I might have been oblivious, but I'm not an idiot.
You've always had a thing for Ben.
Meg I am not having nor have I ever had an affair with your husband.
Were you with Ben the day that Isabelle died? Are you the reason that he lied about where he was? Must have been pretty funny, huh listening to me talk about catching him in that lie? My daughter might still be alive if Ben had made it to the beach on time.
No, she wouldn't.
Ben has a secret but it's not me.
Holly? Are you up here? Can I get you anything? It's that time of day.
- I'll leave you alone.
- No.
Stay with me.
Dude, I think that spot's good.
You're fooling yourself, kiddo.
You think you're moving up in the organization? Think Mr.
Boyd even mentions what a good job you do to the big boss? - I doubt it.
- I just started.
That's right.
You just started.
Hey, Wes, I know more or less what this organization is about.
But have you ever actually killed anyone? You don't have to answer if you don't want.
I just- When Mr.
Boyd has an interest in somebody I wanna know what that means.
You're wondering if you could do it.
- Maybe.
- Of course you could.
And you would feel powerful doing it.
You wouldn't be here otherwise.
It's not just the fear and the pain, you know.
I feel our love too, every time.
- I'm so sorry.
- No.
I deserved it.
- What I did to you was just a- - No.
I need to rest now.
So, you're Christina.
- The golden child.
- You know about me.
I'm not in Point Pleasant for the beach.
Then you know better than to block my way.
It's funny- when I picture evil personified you're more fluffy than what leaps to mind.
Are you sure you're up to the job? Scary.
- I'm not here to hurt you.
- You're not here to see Lucas either.
You snuck by him in the backyard without even bothering to see if anyone was watching from the balcony.
You may be the bringer of the Apocalypse but you're a crap-ass cat burglar.
I'm not a burglar, or the bringer of anything.
He hasn't won you over, has he? Tell me honestly.
How do you feel about Lucas Boyd? - I hate him.
- So do I.
No, you love him.
I just- He killed me.
You saw what I go through every day because of him.
When he wished me back, he should have been more specific.
What are you looking for here? Whatever it is, I can get it.
- What's in it for you? - Honestly? I just want him to suffer.
I don't care how.
I think Boyd's going to hurt someone.
His name is Jesse.
Someone you care about.
He's done it before.
You're so powerful, why didn't you just blow him away? I almost did once.
I- I just- I'm not like him.
I will let you know as soon as I find out anything about Jesse.
I promise.
We need to talk.
Hi, Daddy Mom Jude.
I'm making you this tape because I'm going to die today.
Please know that this is what I want.
I've seen what's coming for all of us.
I know what's going to happen, and I can't be here.
I'm not strong enough.
- Jesse? - Yes.
Holly.
I'm a friend of Christina's.
How do you know Christina? Well, I guess you could say I know her because of her father.
What do you want? I take it that you're aware Christina's worried about your safety.
Yeah, I know.
Did you know she's absolutely right to be worried? Jesse.
! You okay? Oh, don't worry about him.
He's bedridden.
- Terry should be out with his girlfriend for hours.
- You can take it from here? - You're not coming with me? - I should get back before Lucas starts freaking out.
And if he calls you, don't answer.
- There's no turning back from here.
- Don't worry.
I've got everything under control.
I know you do.
This was the right move, baby.
You only have one master, and Boyd's not it.
- I know.
- You're gonna impress.
Big-time.
You'll be in control of the project before you know it.
Okay, come on.
You should get a special prize for that, but this'll have to do.
So, you have any other skills I should know about? Well, I'm an expert baccarat player, a trained assassin and I can karaoke Jesus Christ Superstar in its entirety.
Seriously? Hello? So, did you enjoy our first date? You've got to be kidding me.
I can't get out of this.
I'm sorry.
I promise I'll make it up to you.
Unbelievable.
I was trying to protect you.
Protect me? This is our daughter.
You've lied to me about this for years to protect me? I'm sorry.
The only thing you've protected me from is the proof that I'm not crazy.
I've known for a long time that Isabelle killed herself.
She told me all about it afterward.
How could I possibly have known that if I was just imagining her? Meg, no one's saying you're crazy.
You've just been through too much.
Ben, don't you see? I have our daughter.
You can too.
What, don't you want Isabelle back? Don't you care? How dare you imply I don't.
Losing your mind doesn't give you monopoly on missing our daughter.
I would love to lose my mind, Meg.
But I don't have that luxury.
I'm the one that's had to keep it together for all of us! Then stop! Just let go and- and let her in.
Oh, Meg, stop with that! Amber told me that you destroyed the tape over and over but it kept coming back- the same one.
Yeah, someone's playing games with me.
- They're messing with my head.
- No! It was coming back.
Ben, Isabelle meant that tape for you.
She was trying to show you what I can already see.
Isabelle was sick! - Like you are sick! - Stop it.
That's what you should be getting from the tape.
That's why she killed herself.
We didn't know in time.
I didn't see it.
I didn't get her the treatment that could have helped.
I'm not gonna let that happen to you.
Ben, I know that you love me and that you just want to take care of me- of us.
I believe you.
Now you have to believe me.
The things I see are real.
I can't.
Then I can't be with you anymore.
You have to come with me.
I overheard Wes tell Lucas that he has Jesse.
Lucas said, "You know where to take him, and"- - And what? - "And do it slowly.
" - Do you have any idea where Wes might have taken him? - No, but Boyd does.
I hope, for your sake, you can die because if you can't, this is gonna be a hell of a way to spend eternity.
Holly? Holly, are you here? I've been looking everywhere for you.
Where the hell have you been? Making new friends.
Oh.
I see you found my case.
This oughta be interesting.
You have one chance to do this the easy way.
Where's Jesse? I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I have no idea what you're talking about.
Haven't you learned that this stuff doesn't work on me? All right.
Let's get started.
I'm afraid you're gonna go all soft on me, like you did before.
She won't.
This time she's protecting her man.
And she's stronger than you, Lucas.
Where do you want my hands? In front of me, or behind me? Christina! What the hell? - You know you can't kill her.
- Not so.
If anyone can, it's me.
Remember? At any rate, she feels pain.
And pain is all I need right now.
Where's Jesse? Think about what you're doing.
She hasn't done anything to you.
- You hurt her, you're hurting an innocent person.
- That's right.
- Aren't you proud of me? - Lucas, please help me.
Damn it, I don't know where Jesse is.
I don't know what you're talking about.
- Let her go and we'll figure this thing out together.
- Isn't that what we're doing? Don't worry.
You can draw that back on.
Wes.
Wes wanted to kill Jesse.
Wouldn't have thought the little bastard would disobey me but I've been betrayed by better people than him.
- Where did he take him? - I have no idea.
I swear.
- I don't believe you're taking me seriously.
- Lucas, don't let her hurt me.
Go ahead.
Take one more step forward.
See if I can make her head explode with my mind.
It would be fun to try.
Lucas, just tell her what she wants to know.
Christina, I'm begging you don't hurt her anymore.
You twisted bitch.
You're enjoying this.
All you want is to see him suffer.
Isn't that what you said? And it is every bit as satisfying as I'd hoped.
You used Jesse for this? Please kill me.
I really hope you can.
- No.
- You stay out of this.
The more you squirm, the happier she gets.
I'm not gonna kill you.
You're gonna go on living in your pathetic state.
But if you don't tell me where Jesse is, you're gonna do it without eyes.
Christina, I am not your enemy.
I don't care who wins this thing.
The graveyard.
Lucas, what are you doing? Unlock these cuffs! Lucas, what is this place? Lucas, you're in a state right now but once you calm down you will see everything I did was to help you.
Did you see how evil she got because of me? Lucas! Lucas, look at me! We play these games, but you know I love you.
I love you too, Holly.
I always will.
Lucas! Lucas, don't leave me in here! Please come back! Don't leave me here! Lucas! Jesse? Jesse! No! Jesse.
Jesse.
Dad.
Where's Jesse? He was supposed to stay with you tonight.
They took him.
Jesse, you asked Father Matthew if you're chosen.
You are.
