Undone (2019) s02e02 Episode Script

1
Why is this happening?
Please, I just want to help.
What the hell?
Hello?
Hey. How do I open this?
Hey!
But it's just one line.
No, Reed.
- The single line means "not pregnant."
- Man.
You peed on it, though, right?
Yes, I peed on it.
Oh. Okay.
Don't worry.
Sometimes it takes time.
Doesn't always happen
right away.
Just really excited to start a family with you.
I know you are. You love babies.
I really do.
Especially
when people dress them
in those-those little business suits.
- You're so silly.
- I know.
It's like, "Where are you going?
You don't got a job, baby."
Oh. Hi. What are you doing here?
Hey. Sorry to show up so early,
but I've been thinking all night
and trying to access
my own powers,
and I feel like we should talk
about these abilities
that are awakening in you.
Oh, my God. Alma, nothing
is awakening in me, okay?
I told you last night,
I'm just tired from the wedding.
I just need more sleep.
Oh, hey, Alma. Okay, I'm off.
- I love you.
- Okay. Love you, too.
Reed,
don't you have get to work?
Who's gonna talk to your dad
about sports
- if you're not there?
- That's a good point.
- Better get going.
- Okay. Bye.
You're not
grasping how exciting this is.
Don't you want to know
what you're capable of?
- I got to get to work.
- Call in sick.
I'm supposed to be writing
with Dad right now,
- but this is way more important.
- Oh, I get it.
You're just trying to avoid
working on your dissertation.
I'm offering you a chance
to peek
behind the curtain of reality,
to see
what mysteries lie beyond.
I think I'm fine
just looking at the curtain.
It's a very nice curtain.
But I discovered something,
and I need your help.
What kind of help?
I told you how I'm not able
to connect right now, right?
- Yeah.
- What I didn't tell you is, every time I try to,
I end up in this fog.
What is this? What's happening?
Hey, you're here! I know,
it's scary at first, huh?
How do we get out of here?
That's what I want
your help with.
You see that speck coming
towards us? That's a door.
Are we gonna hit it?
Probably not.
Any ideas for opening this?
Yeah,
maybe you shouldn't open it.
Becca, it's a door.
It's meant to be opened.
Come on. Just try to, like,
see beyond it or something.
No, I just want to get out of here.
Okay.
I don't know what you just did,
but don't ever do that again.
Ever.
This is the power
of your ancestors
reaching out to you.
The great unknown.
This is the universe we're talking about here.
You can't just pretend
it doesn't exist.
Hey.
You're denying
who you really are.
You can hear me.
You can hear
- Camila.
- Yes.
I got
an overdraft notice.
Did you take out $5,000?
I was helping a cousin.
What cousin?
- You don't know her.
- Well,
she must be pretty close
for you to give her
- this much money.
- Exactly what are you accusing me of?
Accusing you? I'm not
I-I'm just trying to find out
where the money went.
I have to tell you everything?
I can't have my own life?
I never said that.
I'm sorry you don't trust me.
Jesus, Camila.
Don't make this about me.
Oh, so it's always my fault,
huh?
Well, just tell me the truth.
What was
- the money for?
- I already told you.
You know what? Forget it.
- Alma.
- Hi, Mom.
- Everything okay?
- Yes, of course.
- Come in.
- Oh!
You made your famous lemon bars.
They're
for the church bake sale.
Oh, cool. So, does all of the
money go to subjugating women?
Or does some of it go
to protecting pedophiles?
Hey, Dad.
Alma, you finally made it.
Well, I would go back
and get here on time,
but you won't help me
figure that out, so voilà.
Uh, don't get crumbs on my rug.
Wow. You care way too much
about this reality.
Okay, uh, first,
I want to go over revisions,
and then we will double-check
all the sources
in your bibliography.
That sounds fun.
I heard you and Mom arguing.
What was that about?
Eh, it was nothing.
She sent money somewhere?
It's really
none of your business.
Really? Because it sounded like
she was hiding something
from you.
Like maybe she's in trouble.
Trouble involving
that guy I saw her with,
- Alejandro?
- Hey.
Let's focus
on the dissertation, okay?
Okay.
Page one.
Hey, do you still have
your old research?
Yeah, I do. It's up in the attic
gathering dust. Why?
Wondering if you have reports
from your old test subjects.
Thought I'd check to see
if anyone else
had trouble connecting
- like I am.
- Alma.
I'm just curious to see
if there are other people
like me.
There's no one like you.
- What if I find someone?
- What are you talking about?
Nothing.
I'm just saying
it would be nice to know
if there are other people
like us
so we don't have to feel
so alone.
You know, you can never tell
anyone what we did.
That could unravel
this entire timeline.
Even if we tell someone
we know we can trust?
No one could understand
the things that I did.
I understood.
Yeah, and I appreciate that,
but no one else could.
So, please,
let's put the past in the past
and focus on the future.
Like you are?
How old
is this arts and crafts project?
Or this newspaper?
I'm trying to understand
my mother,
and I'm doing it
in a safe and normal way
by studying history.
And speaking of history
let's talk
about the agricultural practices
of the ancient Mesoamericans.
Okay. Let's see
these revisions of yours.
Page one.
Well,
I have to work through lunch.
But we'll do it tonight.
Okay, yes,
we can try that new position,
but I don't see how
No, I get how your penis
could go in deeper,
but wouldn't the semen
flow the wrong way?
Oh.
Um I have to go.
Okay, bye.
That was my boss.
I'm kidding. It was Reed.
Oh. I hoped so.
You showed up
at my office unannounced.
I made some lemon bars
for the church,
but I brought you some extra.
Okay, well, thank you.
I love your bars.
To be honest,
I also came to apologize
for fighting with you
last night.
I know you meant well.
That was my apology.
Oh. Okay. I forgive you.
And I'm sorry
if I was being nosy.
It's just that I'm
really worried about you.
You don't have to worry
about me. I am fine.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. Of course.
Because if there's something
going on, you can tell me.
You're my mom. I'm gonna
love you no matter what.
Thank you, but I am fine.
Okay.
And thank you again
- for the bars. Do you want one?
- Oh, no.
- They're just butter and sugar.
- Oh.
But you are going to be
pregnant soon, and all that fat
is good for the baby's brain.
- Enjoy.
- Okay.
You mind
if I go to the bathroom?
Uh, you're a grown-up.
You don't have to ask.
Right.
Okay.
Yes.
Hey, old friend.
- Hi. Thanks for
- What do you want? I'm not in the mood
to fall through
another magic cloud or whatever.
Don't worry. I just wanted to show you this.
Oh, my God. Is that Mom?
Look at the signature.
"Alejandro."
- Right?
- Oh.
The guy
that painted Mom years ago
is the same guy
you saw her arguing with.
Well, maybe it's a coincidence.
She definitely has a history
with this guy.
Check out the inscription.
"Para mi bonita,
un pedazo de tu alma
siempre estará aquí."
"For my beauty,
a piece of your soul
will always be here."
Very poetic.
Just the kind of thing
you'd say to a lover.
Mom probably fell in love
with this Alejandro guy
back in Mexico,
and they've been having
an affair ever since.
Oh, come on, Alma.
This is Mom we're talking about.
- She's literally at a church bake sale right now.
- I know.
It's hard
for me to believe, too.
But maybe
we don't really know Mom.
This morning,
I found out
she wired $5,000 to Mexico
and then tried to hide it
from Dad.
Why would she do that?
What if Alejandro
is blackmailing her?
Trying to get money
so he won't tell Dad
about the affair.
Do you really think
that's possible?
I don't know,
but we have to find out.
It's the only way to help her.
I know. I've tried
to get her to open up to me,
- but she won't talk to me about it.
- Mm-hmm.
Maybe there's another way.
What if you and I travel back
to when you saw him in the car?
Maybe we see something new.
Okay, I get it.
This is you hoping
that I'll time-travel back
to my memories or whatever.
Would it be so bad?
Becca, this thing we do is miraculous.
We could use it
to help our family.
- To save lives.
- Alma, let's be real.
I've had a few vivid memories.
You saw a door you can't open.
We're not saving lives.
I saved Dad.
What do you mean?
I mean, you know,
metaphorically saved his soul
in the sense
that all kids save their parents
by giving their life meaning.
That's what I meant.
Look, can you just trust me?
We could use this
to make life better.
I don't want
to make my life better.
Unlike you,
I'm actually happy with my life
because I have a husband
and friends and a career
I have friends.
- I don't hang out with them.
- Mm-hmm.
But I look at pictures
of their dogs and shit online.
You know what I think, Alma?
I think you're a little bored
of being a professor.
I think you're a little lonely,
and you're looking
for a sense of purpose.
And what's your purpose, Becca?
"To look pretty
and be nice and do everything
that Mother
and Husband tell me to do"?
You're not living a life, Becca.
You're living an idea of a life,
- and it's not even your idea.
- That's not true.
At least I'm trying to connect
to something larger than myself
so I can actually do
something meaningful
with my life. What are you doing
- with your life?
- Living it.
Hey, babe. Sorry I'm late.
Alma was in one of her moods.
Ugh.
What's wrong?
Nick came over to watch golf,
so we ordered hot wings.
But I ate too many.
- Got heartburn.
- Babe.
You've got to be careful
with those.
And I looked everywhere
for Tums.
But then
in your bathroom drawer,
I found these.
Are you still taking
birth control pills?
No. Of course not.
Those are from, um,
before we were married.
- Oh, okay. That makes sense.
- Yeah.
Except I know you,
and I can tell
when you're shitting me.
I'm not shitting you.
You swear that you're
telling the truth right now?
Well, what are
what are you saying?
- That I lie all the time?
- No. No, no.
- That's not what I'm saying.
- You saying you basically, like, married a liar?
I'm just trying to understand.
Do you not want to have a baby
with me?
No! Of c Yes, I do.
Then why are you taking
these pills?
They are
from before we were married.
- I can't deal with this.
- What?
- Come on, Reed.
- No.
- I can't.
- Where are you going? Talk to me.
No, I am going
to my parents' house.
I need to be
with people I can trust.
Hey, Sam.
Hey.
I'm sorry,
how do we know each other again?
I met you at a party
with your girlfriend.
We were all really drunk. You
probably don't remember.
Oh. Okay.
Um, it's really nice
to meet you again.
- I'm Alma.
- Sam.
So, you-you seem good.
Oh, um
I am. Yeah. Thanks.
Good. I'm glad.
I was right.
About my dad.
About everything.
I'm sorry, what?
Just our conversation
from the party.
- Oh.
- You don't remember. It's fine.
All right, well, um,
I got to get going,
but it was really nice
to meet you again.
And I'm really glad
you were right.
Becca?
- Hey.
- Oh, my God.
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm sorry
for the shit I said earlier.
No, it's fine. You're right.
I don't know what I'm doing,
and now I'm in a huge fight
with Reed.
I just need
someone to drink with.
You came to the right place.
Do you want to have
a baby with him?
Yes.
Oh, probably.
I don't know. I'm s
I'm worried about if I'm ready
to be responsible for a child.
- Have you told him that?
- I can't
because he thinks I'm
super together and competent.
If he knew how unsure I was
of this, it would wreck him.
So I just keep trying
to hide it, and then
that leads to me lying to him,
which makes it worse.
Well, at least
you're not cheating on him.
No, I would never cheat on him.
Excuse me, what's that look?
I've never cheated on him.
- Yeah, not in this life.
- What?
Don't listen to me.
I'm shit-faced.
Wow.
I can't believe you're playing
- that stupid song.
- What stupid song?
- Ugh.
- I don't even know what I'm playing.
I know exactly what
you're doing. You always try
to make me feel better
by playing the Rainbow Song.
Right. The Rainbow Song.
Just what is a rainbow? ♪
It is light
refracted through a raindrop ♪
It is a bridge to heaven ♪
It is a bridge to heaven ♪
And I ♪
Will cross it with you ♪
This was so long ago.
You brought us here.
You used your gift.
I didn't mean to.
I was just remembering
the very first day that we
made up the Rainbow Song.
I remember it, too.
You came home from kindergarten
with a silly poem
about rainbows.
And then Dad
came up with the tune.
It was something
Grandma Geraldine used to hum.
I was so proud
that Dad liked my song.
I will be with you always ♪
Becca, this is one of the things
we can do together.
Go back to these happy memories.
But time ♪
Is passing through me ♪
You would always play it for me
when things got hard.
You don't remember
making nine long-distance calls
to a strange number in Mexico?
- What are you saying? That I'm lying?
- It's okay.
- Come on.
- No, I'm wondering if these are false charges.
Are you lying?
You see, there you go,
accusing me of lying.
Camila,
what is this about?
Nothing.
Can you touch a rainbow? ♪
It slips right through
my little fingers ♪
I will be with you always ♪
But time ♪
Is running through me ♪
You're good at this, Becca.
I can't believe
we just did that.
Yeah.
Did you hear what Mom and Dad
were fighting about?
Sounds like she was hiding stuff
from him even back then.
Yeah,
and then she got all defensive.
Just like I do with Reed.
Well, they were our only model
for relationships,
and they fucked us up good,
so
I will drink to that.
At least we know
what poisoned their marriage.
- Mom's secret affair.
- All right, fine.
Let's say that you are right
about the affair.
But it's still her life, right?
Like, there's nothing we can do
about it.
We could go back in time
and make it
so she never met Alejandro.
What?
We can't do that. Can we?
Maybe. I don't know the limit
to what you're capable of doing.
Okay.
But we still don't know
if it's an affair, right?
Right. We have to get her
to tell us the truth.
Yes. But how? I keep trying.
I have an idea.
Why don't we
just go over there together
and demand she tell us?
- Like a united front?
- Exactly. Let's go right now.
Oh, come on, please?
Can't it wait till the morning?
I don't know if it can.
What if that guy shows up
at Mom's house with a gun
and demands more money?
- Jesus Christ, Alma.
- Well, so, you want to help Mom or not?
Yes. Yes,
of course I want to help Mom.
That's good,
because the car's already here.
Whoa.
What is it?
We are here to find out
exactly what your secret is.
So we can help you.
Girls, it's very late,
and I can smell the wine
on your breath.
Who is Alejandro?
You told Alma?
I don't like keeping secrets
from people.
Well, I told you. It's nothing.
We also saw this painting
by Alejandro.
Dun, dun, dun.
And we know
about the money you sent.
And we know about the
long-distance calls you've made.
I don't know
what you're accusing me of,
but I don't like it.
Did you have an affair?
- Excuse me?!
- I know you think that you're
protecting us by keeping it in,
but whatever you're doing,
it's just making it worse.
Yeah, Mom. We're adults.
We can handle it. So you banged
some guy behind Dad's back.
We're cool.
- Please leave my house.
- No, Mom.
If you care about us at all,
you have to tell us the truth,
because not telling us is
just hurting the whole family.
I have given my life
to this family.
You have no idea
what I have given up for you.
You girls are so ungrateful.
What is going on?
We were just trying to help Mom.
Yeah, but she won't let us.
I'll talk to you both
in my office.
What? We're not teenagers.
Okay.
- What do you think you're doing?
- It was Becca's idea.
- What? No, it wasn't.
- Look, we only came
because we know there's
something going on with Mom.
Once we find out what's wrong,
we can go back to the past and fix it.
What? "Go back to the past"?
What do you mean?
- It's okay. She knows.
- What does she know?
Look, I didn't tell you
because I knew you'd be mad.
Dad knows that we do this?
Yeah. He sort of trained me.
What exactly have you told her?
Dad, Becca has powers, too.
She took me back
to our childhood.
What? You can do that?
Why didn't you tell me
that Dad knows about this?
Because it's complicated.
We had a different life.
What do you mean,
"a different life"?
- Well, Dad was
- Alma, be careful what you're about to say.
Dad and I changed reality
to make the world better,
- and-and it is.
- What do you mean?
Alma, I told you to stop.
- What the hell was that?
- Oh, no.
- Mom!
- Mom!
- Mom!
- Mom!
Camila!
I can't believe
Mom just left like that.
What is going on with her?
Alma, what have you done?
