Between (2015) s02e02 Episode Script

Us vs. Them

1 Okay, now what? Where do we go? Chuck! Do you even have a plan? Of course I have a plan.
Okay, see, about a mile ahead, there's a service road.
Turn there.
Well, yeah, how do we know there aren't soldiers waiting for us? You don't even have a plan, do you? I said I'd get us out, and I did! Okay? I did! Look, we're in a Special Ops van, okay? That alone will provide us some cover, okay? Now, if if we see any soldiers or anything that will get us caught, we ditch the van, we go into the woods.
- That's your whole plan? - Look, relax.
Okay? - I got us through the fence! - Oh, God! Oh, God! - I got us through the fence! - Hey, what's that? It's a military van.
Chuck, we have to go back! Samantha? - Get down! Get down! - Samantha! Samantha! Samantha! Oh, sh Oh, God! Harrison, I need your help.
Grab your sister.
Right now! - Grab your sister! We gotta move! - Chuck - Come on! Come on.
Come on.
- Chuck, is she de is she We gotta turn around.
We have to go back to Pretty Lake.
Samantha! Stay down, stay down! - What the hell was that? - Hey! Hey! They blew in the exit from the outside.
Why? Did you really think that you could leave Pretty Lake without any repercussions? Why did you come into Pretty Lake? What do you want? A death wish? No.
No death wish.
Quite the opposite, actually.
I've taken a vaccination.
- Look, here.
- Hey! Don't move.
If you really did work with my dad, then you're here to kill us.
No, I'm not.
Let me get my wallet.
Hands in the air! Take a look at my license.
I'm 25.
Yeah, sure.
It says he's 25.
If it's real.
See? Now, if I didn't take the vaccination, I'd be as good as dead right now, wouldn't I? Hey, you still haven't answered the question.
What are you doing here? Samantha.
Samantha! I'm sorry.
Okay, Harrison? I'm sorry.
I didn't intend for this.
I didn't mean to do this.
Let's see what's in the bag.
- Look, no, no, no, no.
- Don't touch those.
Why? What are these? What you're holding is a vaccine.
It can protect any non-carrier entering Pretty Lake.
If I take it twice a day, then I can stay in here for as long as my supply lasts.
What happens if we take some? No.
No, it's just a prophylactic.
It does nothing for the infected.
So then, what does? The cure.
And let me guess, that involves an injection? The virus that's infected everyone it attacks the cell from the inside.
When I take the vaccine, it acts like a shield.
It protects the cell, but doesn't penetrate it.
What we needed to create was an antibody that could essentially reset an infected blood cell from the inside out.
That's why I'm here.
Come on! - Hey! - Let's go.
Wait, Wiley! We can't trust this guy! I don't think they're coming to save us.
What are they doing inside Pretty Lake? Let's go.
Looks like they're heading into town.
Are they gonna kill us? We never should have left.
What is that? - What are they doing? - Look at that! Jason's in the back.
Watch him! What is that? What the hell is that? It's for me.
Stay back! Who the hell is this guy? He says he worked with my dad.
That he's here to save us all.
Yeah, bullshit.
Yeah, my guess is once these crates are open, we're all we're all dead! Look, that makes no sense, okay? I'd be dead, too.
Yeah, he's right.
You guys, let him open it.
No.
No one's touching anything.
- Come on.
Just let him open it.
- Guys No! Look, I know what happened before, but I wasn't a part of that.
I'm here to help! Now, there's a passcode.
If you don't want me to open it, why don't you? - I'm opening it.
- No, no.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Harrison, don't! Don't! - Hey, look.
You've got nothing to be afraid of, all right? All right, the code is one, seven Stop it! - Stop! - What the hell? He could save us! I said don't touch it.
We we can't trust this guy! Trust? It's you we can't trust.
Okay? Samantha would still be here if it wasn't for you! What happened to Samantha? Tell her, Chuck.
- What happened? - We tried to escape, and she got shot! Yeah, she got shot.
But don't feel sorry for me.
Because I should never have listened to Chuck in the first place! Stop it.
It's because of you! Doesn't matter.
We're all just gonna die anyways.
Okay.
Okay, before any of this gets opened, we're going to find out if this guy is telling the truth.
- Hey! - Come with me.
I'm not gonna ask you again! Look, abusing me is not going to change my answer.
I'm here to help! Chuck, stop it! Stop! This is getting us nowhere.
Look, we almost got out.
Okay? We can try again.
There are ways.
And I'm not gonna let this guy wreck any hope we have left.
No! We can't leave, all right? We were just on the outside.
What? We escaped, too.
And you didn't tell us? Okay, it's not like you told the whole world your plans.
All right? The point is, escaping is not an option anymore.
Yes! Yes, it is! I mean, it it has to be.
No, it's not.
We're contagious.
People die when they come into contact with us.
The government wasn't lying.
Whatever it is that we got, it's gonna kill everybody.
I'm the only reason that you're all still alive.
The government already tried to kill you once.
Why do you think they haven't come back to finish the job? And who's to say that whatever's in that box won't kill us? - Maybe that's what you're doing here.
- I'm not! You have to trust me.
I'm telling you all the truth.
And if you don't believe me, believe the science.
Because you know what? She's right.
If this infection gets out, the world as you know it, it's over! Do you know how many people want you dead? So, let's face it I'm all you got.
What the hell is this? Brought your shit back.
Look, I'm sorry.
All right? Brought some food, too.
You should go.
You don't really want me to go.
Last time I saw you, you robbed me.
So, yeah, you should go.
Oh, gosh.
The gun was there.
I couldn't help myself.
I brought it all back and I said I was sorry.
Doesn't that count for something? And I brought you a peace offering.
Cans of peaches? There's plenty more where that came from.
If you want me to go, just say so.
Okay, open it.
You see? I told you.
There's nothing dangerous in here.
It's just my lab supplies.
You said you wanted to show us the science.
Whenever you're ready.
I'm not going to let you out of my sight this time.
Lucky me.
I could use your help with something, though.
Oh, yeah.
Here we go.
There's always something.
It's my brother, Eric.
We've looked everywhere.
I think he might have wandered into town.
You want me to help you how? Well, you know people.
I go, they'll just wonder who the stranger is.
I was hoping you could ask around.
Think you could help? And what's in it for me? Anything and everything.
If you find him, bring him to Side Road 12.
And if I don't? It's too bad for you.
Oh, God.
Damn it! Hey! Stop! Come back! Come Hey! Stop! Damn it! You are dead! Stay down! McCalister! I know where you are, man! I heard you.
Whoa, whoa! Dude, chill.
Chill.
I'm out! I'm out! You can't leave the house! It's the rules.
You leave, you die.
Dude, you got me.
I lose.
You lose when you're shot.
Harrison, enough! - You're not out yet! - I forfeit, okay? No forfeit! I know you're upset about your sister, but please, stop it! I'm serious.
Come on! Harrison! Harrison! There's someone here to see you.
Time out! Franny? What are you doing here? Well, how you been? What do you want, Ronnie? I don't know.
What are you selling? Everything okay? Yeah, everything's fine, man.
Hey, look, all right? I'm just checking around for this kid, all right? Either of you seen him? No, I haven't seen him.
Why? He's missing.
How about you? No, man.
Can't say I have.
You sure? Yeah.
Have you checked Harrison's crew? That's a good idea.
Are you sure you have everything cleaned up? I'll double-check.
Have you seen this kid? No.
All right.
So I'll need someone's blood to compare.
Take mine.
No.
Actually, uh, I need someone who's infected.
We're all infected.
They don't know? - Know what? - Well, he's immune.
What? - That's impossible.
- Actually, it's not.
You see, the virus is laced with his DNA.
- So, technically, he's - Technically, nothing.
You don't know what you're talking about, Liam.
Yes, I do.
You're not a carrier.
Your father told you this.
Adam? What's he talking about? You know what? Take my blood.
Get it over with.
Okay.
Here, I'll run the program.
All right.
Now, if you look here, you'll see that my blood looks relatively normal.
Around the edge of each cell, there's this yellow membrane, and that's the vaccine at work.
But if you look over here, at the infected blood, you'll see that there's no outside membrane and, in fact, the core of the cell is actually churning.
It's like, um like a whirlpool.
And it's creating this discharge that will eventually turn into dead matter over time.
- How much time? - My guess is when you turn 22.
Exactly.
It's been our hope that this drug will one day cure your cells and eradicate the virus.
Now who wants to go first? Adam! That was a mistake! Was it? This vial represents a single life and you just wasted it.
Is that so? Last time your people came in here and administered vaccines, hundreds died within hours.
So, we're gonna wait this out and find out what your cure really does.
So let me get this straight.
Instead of helping our sister with the orphanage, or finding more food, or getting resources for winter, you're out looking for some kid you've never met in the hopes it helps you get laid again.
No.
- This girl I met, all right? My friend - Who robbed you.
And she returned what she stole.
You know, did you ever think that maybe I just want to help somebody who might've lost their brother? That ever cross your mind? Don't use my death as an excuse for what you're doing.
All right? Ronnie looks after Ronnie.
That's what this is about.
You never go out of your way for anyone.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, no? She promised me food, Pat.
Food that I can share with Tracey.
Oh, so this is a mission to save Tracey, then.
Just shut up.
You know at least you're going to be there for one of your siblings.
I was there for you, Pat.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
I was there for you, Pat.
You left me! You left me.
You should have told me you were immune.
What difference does it make? We had to find out if the virus was contagious.
- You don't get it.
- What don't I get? You made the decision for me.
I didn't make the decision for you.
You made the decision for yourself.
I didn't force you.
Okay, but with you being immune, everything that happened, - that's all on me now.
- No, it's not.
I was there, too.
Yeah, it is.
I killed Sandra, okay? You didn't.
- Wiley - You should have just gone alone.
What? That's unfair.
You wanted to go just as much as I did.
If this all worked out, you wouldn't be pointing the finger at me.
Well, if you hadn't convinced me, Sandra would still be alive.
And you could have continued on to get help on your own.
Why did you even come back anyway? 'Cause of you.
I couldn't leave.
Well, maybe you should have.
Hey! Hey! What do you think you're doing? This is all ours now, Gord.
Are you crazy? This food is for the whole town.
The orphanage, everyone.
We need to be smart with our resources.
Do we? Because it seems like it's every man for himself.
Give me my damn food back.
That wasn't your meat, Gord.
Franny? This is my meat.
She was my cow.
Wait, you did this? You stole the meat? How could you? I wanna be a part of a family that protects each other, not everyone else.
Well, I'm taking my meat.
You should go.
You didn't have to do this.
- Go! - Yeah, go.
Hmm.
Bye-bye, Gordo! Whoo! It's been two and a half hours.
Can we move on? All right? I'm not gonna die.
These injections aren't lethal.
I mean, how much time are you guys gonna waste until you realize that I'm telling you the truth? As long as it takes.
And I'm not about to let you waste whatever time I have left.
Okay, I'll do it.
No way.
Absolutely not.
Nobody's doing it.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
You guys can't decide for me.
Wiley, don't be the guinea pig.
Just wait.
This doesn't make sense.
It doesn't feel right.
But leaving Pretty Lake did? Come on.
Wiley.
Somebody's gotta take the chance.
We've been sitting around, waiting for weeks to die.
I'm choosing to live.
Where did you get that food? What are you doing on my property? Hey, man, I asked you a question.
Hey, where do you think you're going? You're hoarding food.
People need it.
Starting now, we ration to everyone.
Like hell we do.
I eat when I damn well please.
Gord.
Just get off my property, man.
Go.
Get off my property! Screw you! What's so funny? I don't got any food, man.
That's all I got, some peaches.
Well, we've been out of fruit for two weeks.
You wanna fight over a can of peaches? No.
Of course not.
We have a whole hell of a lot more to fight for.
And I need your help.
So we should start to see results in 24 hours.
It's gonna be okay.
As long as it doesn't kill me.
You're gonna feel a little pinch.
Wasn't so hard.
When we get there don't hurt anyone.
Hey, man, we agreed.
All right? You help me, I help you.
- You can trust me.
- I'm serious.
Oh, yeah.
No, that's clear.
Okay, turn right up here.
- Wow, what a setup.
- Hey! Turn the music down.
No! No way.
All right, listen up, kids! I warned you guys once.
- Are you talking? - Hey, Ronnie.
Come on.
Okay, listen to me, you little shit.
This meat's not yours.
We're taking it.
Okay? You're not taking anything.
We're not asking you.
Yes, you listen to the guy with the gun, that's very smart.
That's enough, Ronnie.
Let's go.
Thanks for the food.
And, uh you know, stay in school, or whatever.
Feeling okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
- Thank you for asking.
- Sure.
Hey, little buddy.
Hey, you got him to sleep.
Maybe you have maternal instincts after all.
Yep, I'm up for mother of the year.
Hey, I need a break.
Can you watch Jason for a minute? Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
Wiley! Wiley! Wiley! - Did you get it all? - Yeah.
The truck's clean.
- Yeah, but you have to get all of it.
- I did.
Relax.
Nobody can trace anything to me.
- Yeah, well, you don't know Ronnie.
- Why are you here? What do you care? Whatever you want, I can't give you.
You're an asshole.
You know that, right? So I've been told.
Why don't you drop the cool guy act and be normal? Normal? I don't even know what normal means.
And there has been nothing normal in my life.
Why don't we make our own normal? What happened? - Hey, what the hell did you do to her, man? - No, look.
The vaccination shouldn't have any adverse effects on the body.
- This doesn't make sense.
- Hey, no.
It doesn't make sense.
I know that.
You're not going anywhere near her.
Look, the cure can't hurt her.
This has to be something else.
Now you can either let me go over there and take a look at her, or we can all stand around and wait to see if she dies.
Unless one of you guys is a doctor.
Did she have any previous symptoms of illness, chronic pain, discomfort, nausea, fever? No.
She was fine.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Go easy! Do you understand me? There's some internal swelling here.
I'm gonna need to take a closer look.
No, you're not cutting her open, Liam.
Just, relax, big guy.
This isn't science class.
Look, we need to find ourselves an ultrasound machine.
Hanna.
Gord, what are you doing here? And who is your friend? I'm Jebediah.
What's up? Hanna, why don't you go inside? I've been wanting to have this conversation for a while.
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
If she gets worse, I swear to God What is that? Nothing good.
You don't court my wife and then come ask me for favors.
- John, please, hear me out.
- Absolutely not.
I suggest you take your friend here and leave.
All right, man.
We're gonna need some food.
- How would you prefer we take it? - Ronnie there's other ways of handling things.
Please, put the gun down.
I'm handling it, Gord.
But this guy doesn't seem to und Ronnie! It's okay.
Put the gun down.
John kids are gonna die if you don't help us.
Now, we're all in this together, whether we like it or not.
We've always operated within our own means.
You have not.
I'm sorry, but no.
Please, lives are at stake here.
I'm sorry, we can't.
It's not that you can't, it's that you won't.
I need you to do the right thing here.
Don't force us to do something drastic.
And, you know, some of us like the drastic part.
You help us through this winter we'll help you through the next.
My word is good.
This is against our ways.
We have enough food to help them.
If it's God's will, they will survive.
God has led them to us.
Please.
Hey, hey, hey.
You're hurting her.
Her heart's racing and her kidneys are starting to shut down.
God knows what else.
I need to get a clearer image if we're gonna stabilize her.
Stabilize her? Hey, Liam, fix her! This is your fault.
You know, Adam, for a smart kid, you're pretty stupid.
Look at the image.
Does that look like something that was caused by an injection a few hours ago? It's a tumor and it's been growing inside of her for a while.
Hey, you haven't seen this kid by any chance, have you? What, you know him? We saw him in the field.
Did you see where he went? He was murdered.
We'd just lost Helen's child at birth.
We had to cremate him today in the field, on the funeral pyre out back.
When we found that child he was already dead.
This is God's doing.
He's punishing all of us.
This boy whoever he is died violently.
Fact is, a godless society has brought this plague on all of us.
There is no us versus them.
This destruction is about greed, envy lust.
All of them, deadly sins.
Don't fool yourselves.
We've given you what you want.
Don't ever come back here again.
Ring around the rosie A pocket full of posies Hush! Hush! We all fall down Oh, my God.
Who is that? We should be okay for a while.
Mark? Is that a body in there? It's that kid.
I'm giving her something for the pain, and a broad spectrum antibiotic, just in case of infection.
Adam what happened to your father? Wiley is fighting for her life and you wanna talk about my father? It's not his fault, Adam.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You scared us there.
I've been in pain since before Jason.
At first, I thought it was maybe the pregnancy, and then I thought stress It's okay.
It's okay.
It's gonna be all right.
Just rest.
- Where's Jason? - He's sleeping.
Did you guys find food for him? Liam, you, uh you mind giving us a minute? Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, what's this? It's time to take my shot.
I don't, I die.
Don't go far.
Wiley Liam did an ultrasound on your stomach.
He found a tumor.
What do you mean, a tumor? We don't know.
It could be nothing.
We'll, uh we'll figure this out, okay? We're here for you.
Let's hope this guy is here for us, too.
Yeah.
