The Red Road (2014) s02e06 Episode Script

Junior.
How many are there? Four, I think-- my father and some Tribal cops.
- Cops? - I told you-- he controls everything out here.
Let's go.
Fan out! Get down.
Get down.
Ah, he's got the whole department looking for you.
We're not safe till we cross the Reservation line.
Well, how far is that? About 2 miles southwest, there's an Interstate that'll take us out.
How do you know? The guy that I escaped with told me.
And where is he? I'm going to the drugstore to pick up more meds.
And you're gonna take them like you're supposed to.
I don't want you anywhere near those pills.
I'll pick them up.
It's Katie.
Hello? No, he's not home.
I'm going to get Mom's meds.
You want me to pick you up? She-- she's okay now.
It's fine.
She wants to stay at Rebecca's again.
She said okay.
Bye.
I have some errands to run, so I might not be home when you get back.
You need to stay here.
I mean it.
You shouldn't be driving.
Well, it doesn't look like they're going anywhere.
I guess we're turning around.
We don't know these woods.
If we go looking for another way out, it might be a long time before we find it.
So what are you saying-- we charge them? - I'll distract them.
- Shut up.
We're here to bring you back.
This isn't your chance to prove something.
Okay.
Then we're turning around.
No.
I'm gonna go lead them off.
Well, how are you gonna do that? I'll figure something out.
When the coast is clear, you guys make a run for the Interstate.
I'll try and meet you there, and if not, I'll see you in Jersey.
You should take the gun.
This is the frying pan.
That's the fire.
You should take the gun.
You two are gonna need it.
I'm not sure if I can clear them all out.
You guys shouldn't have come to get me.
I don't deserve it.
You're right.
But I'm a cop.
I'm used to helping people that don't deserve it.
Rachel asked me to help you.
That's the only reason I'm here.
Maybe after this, you'll wise the hell up.
You only get so many chances.
I appreciate it.
Save it for when we're on our way home.
Is that my coat? Mom? Mom, are you here? Where are the girls? Rachel's home.
Kate's at a friend's.
Are they all right? They're fine.
Good.
Well, if you go back on your pills, everything-- I know.
I have.
I'm taking them.
Good.
I'm sorry for earlier.
I was confused.
All right.
With you moving and all the change Well you can count on me to guide you through, as always.
Can we go inside? I don't think that's a good idea.
Please.
I need you to help me say goodbye.
This is where the chair was.
He sat right underneath it.
I thought you came to say goodbye.
Can you just tell me that it really happened? Could you just tell me that, please? Give me that, and I will never ask you again.
Please, Dad.
It would help me so much if you would just say it, please.
He was becoming dangerous.
You have no idea what I went through in order to control that boy.
It was to protect you.
We-- we couldn't just send him away.
It would have embarrassed the entire family.
So I had to do everything I could to heal him here.
- Heal him? - Yes.
But he didn't want to get better.
You destroyed him! Every time he came out of this room, he was a little less like himself.
You and Mom said it was because he was sick.
I listened.
But I didn't know.
I didn't know until I opened the door that day.
Do you remember? Say you remember.
It's time to go.
How long-- how long can you hold your breath? Huh? Huh? You! Rachel and Kate are coming with us.
They can't be near you.
It's not safe.
Oh.
Ohh! Ohh.
What is it, Dad? What's-- what's happening? C-c-call 91-- 911.
Hurry! Ohh.
Jean.
Jean What-- what are you doing?! We might have to turn around after all.
He'll do it.
If he says he's gonna do it, he'll do it.
Through the trees! Right back there! Cut him off! We got movement! - Spread out! - I told you.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm a police officer.
We need to commandeer your vehicle.
- You need to what? - Push over.
- Come on.
Get in.
- No.
I'm not leaving without him.
Look, we're not leaving.
Okay.
Get down! Get down! Stop! Go! Go! Mom? What are you doing out here? Dad still isn't home.
I've spent the past four hours going out of my mind searching for you.
Why are you doing this to me right now? Get in the car.
We're going home.
It's still in there.
What is? The bag.
Mom said no one's supposed to see.
Is Grandpa here? Hello? Grandpa? Oh.
Yes.
It's, um, my grandfather.
I-I think he's dead.
Hey, man.
Thanks for the ride, man.
Hey.
Next time you need help with something, call somebody else.
Where you two been? She left him here.
No idea where she ran off to.
Well, take him to an orphanage or something.
I can keep him if I want to.
It's not legal.
Okay, Phillip.
What happened? You want to go to prison for the rest of your life? Have you explained to him that's something he does not want? You don't have to worry about Levi filing charges.
I don't think he's interested in legal recourse.
But he knows we figured out he's connected to Mac's murder.
He's gonna be sending someone after me and Junior.
I guarantee it.
Then I'm calling the FBI.
You do that, Junior could be locked up for what he did up there.
I'm gonna take care of it.
Okay? You call Frank and make sure he watches the house.
Junior's gonna stay here with you.
If anybody asks, you tell them he's living at my place, all right? Stay out of sight.
I'm coming with you.
You either hide yourself here, or I'll have Harold lock you up in a holding cell till this thing's over.
You must be hungry.
I'll make you some dinner.
Hey, buddy.
Junior? He's okay.
Thank you.
I got a call from the station about Grandpa.
You okay? I'm so sorry you had to go through that alone.
I wasn't alone.
Rachel was there.
She helped me.
Good.
I found him in his office.
They said he had a heart attack.
Have you talked to your mother? I don't think I can right now.
It's okay.
He's gone, Harold.
I shouldn't have come at him so hard.
It's probably my fault he was so stressed.
No.
You did the right thing.
He made all those people sick.
What is it? Did you find something in the room with Grandpa? Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
I thought you wanted me to hide it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You did something to Grandpa with this, didn't you? He had a heart attack.
Why were you afraid that someone was gonna see it? I didn't know what I was talking about.
Yes, you did, Mom.
You need to tell me.
I did wh-- I did what he did to Brian.
What do you mean? I thought I'd imagined it, but it was real.
He suffocated him with a bag.
Every night, he'd keep it on a little longer, and he said he was healing him.
You suffocated him? For a few seconds, and then I stopped.
Then his heart We have to tell Dad, Mom.
- No.
No.
- He can help.
What if there's evidence or something? I don't want you to get in trouble.
I won't.
It's not for you to worry about.
You deserve a better mother than me.
You're gonna get away from this place.
I'm gonna see to that.
And you're gonna have a good life.
I promise.
The Walpole town water samples tested 80 times higher than the EPA's safe limit.
We'll have complete health coverage at 6:00.
Would you like something to eat? I'll make you some coffee.
Just hours before dying of a heart attack, retired State Senator David Rodgers called New Jersey's Attorney General, saying he believed members of the Lenape Tribe had taken money from the mob to dispose of the toxic paint waste.
We talked with Walpole's Mayor, who says the town is weighing legal action against the Lenap-- I understand that, ma'am, but you need to understand, I can't arrest people just because the news said that.
There is no evidence that the Lenape had anything to-- Ma'am-- ma'am! I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm not an elec-- Someone stole all the ice out of a machine outside a convenience store on East Center.
Probably gonna melt it for water.
Probably.
The owner said two Lenape kids were in there earlier trying to buy water.
You want me to check it out? You get a description on these kids? Or proof? Did anyone actually see them steal it? Or find them walking around with blocks of ice on their backs? All right, listen up! I know emotions are running high right now, but there is no evidence-- none, zero-- that the Lenape had anything to do with contaminating the water.
Our jobs right now is to maintain order, not incite a war.
Are we clear? You just can't get enough of this place, huh? Chief.
For today, anyway.
You got a minute? Wanted to talk about our mutual problem.
We didn't have anything to do with the dump, and it's insane you people are trying to put it on us.
Listen, I got fights breaking out in town over this.
Both sides are starting shit.
I need you to help me try to keep a lid on things.
And why should I do that? People have a right to be angry.
Look, I want to pass some information along to you.
Maybe it's something you can use, but nobody can know where you got it from.
I got my job to think about.
All right, Captain.
You have my word.
What is it? I went to see your husband down in Trenton.
Ex-husband.
He's the one who tipped me off about the mines, said that he was in on the dumping.
- Did you know that? - No.
But it doesn't surprise me.
Guess it's my fault.
I'm the one who brought the devil to the mountain.
I'm the reason Jack came to live up here.
He was working for the mob.
Walpole gave him the big waste contract and looked the other way while they dumped the sludge in the mines.
Now, if the town tries to sue you, maybe you can get him to testify to that.
And you believe he's telling the truth? 'Cause that wasn't his natural tendency.
Well, why don't you go talk to him, judge for yourself? I'm not gonna see that son of a bitch.
Whether you do or not, I hope you'll still take my request under advisement.
I'll try to calm people down, but they don't like me too much right now.
You'll get used to it.
Sounds like you speak from experience.
You marry anybody yet? No, Jack.
Too busy with all your Indian causes, huh? Still trying to make up for ditching me and Phillip? Hmm? How is Phillip? Never can get a straight answer out of him.
Such a goddamn smart-ass-- always was.
Remember how he used to go on about him being Chief of your little tribe one day? I was told you have some information on the dumping.
If you don't, I'm going home.
You think you're so damn superior.
When you left your son to go be a hippie, he cried for a month.
You never heard a kid cry so loud Like thunder.
Couple months before you ditched us I had you snap this picture.
Remember? Reason was, I wanted some insurance you know, in case they tried to pin it on me.
What are you going on about? You see that truck in the background? What's that truck doing on the mountain? That's right.
That's worth something to you, isn't it? Pay a lot of money for that, right? Maybe I would, if that truck belonged to the auto company and I wasn't dirt poor.
I'm not talking about the auto company.
Come here.
This is evidence against the town.
They're the ones who did the dumping.
You worked for the mob, not the town.
Yes, honey.
I sure did.
The mob supplied the drivers.
The city supplied the trucks.
That's who you should be going after.
I get it.
You're strapped for cash.
I'm not bringing home the bacon anymore.
So Merry Christmas, baby! Ho, ho, ho! Ahh.
You see, you can lock me up, but I can still reach out and touch you.
And if this goes to trial, I'm gonna be taking a lot of field trips to testify.
So we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
Of course, if you got a problem with that, you don't have to take the picture.
But I know you're always down for some suffering.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So much to make up for.
My Saint Marie.
Hello? Hey! You here? What do you want? How'd you do that? Where were you just now? I was standing right over there, dumbass.
Think you need glasses.
- How does it fit? - It's a little tighter than the last one.
Better than prison, though, right? Are you looking for a thank-you? No.
What the hell am I gonna do with that? You want to know why I kept you out of prison? Same reason my mother never killed spiders.
Well, I'm not gonna catch anything with a police car in my driveway.
So if you're all finished talking - I brought you a Kevlar vest.
- Don't need it.
- You got a plan for when they show up? - Yeah.
But I think it's better for you if you don't know what it is.
Agreed.
Well, if they do show, make sure Tribal calls us for backup.
They're gonna need us.
Nobody's calling anybody.
I got it covered.
Well, just be careful how you do it.
I don't have any more "Get out of jail free" cards.
You sure you don't want the vest? Yeah.
I can't fit in a boys' extra medium.
I'm sorry I scared you.
I thought you were gonna kill yourself.
I'm gonna straighten myself out.
I promise.
How are you gonna do that? I don't know yet, but I am.
What? I was so stupid.
Thought I didn't have anything to live for.
Yeah, you were stupid.
But I'm not something to live for.
I'm screwed up Worse than you, I bet.
You know I'm probably gonna get what my mother has.
I don't care if you do.
Well, that's 'cause you don't understand what it's like to be with someone like that.
You don't see what they see.
You don't hear what they hear.
They're alone, and you're alone.
And sometimes they hurt people.
Even if you did get it, I would stay with you anyway.
I promise.
Why? I told you already.
I love you.
Don't be taking more than you need.
This is for drinking.
You want water for washing, we're setting up rain barrels.
Nice work.
Had to go out of town this morning.
Found a store that still had water and hadn't jacked up the price too much.
You should take some for your grandma.
Is that why you called me out here? No.
No, it's not.
I need to ask you something.
Listen, just because the casinos aren't happening doesn't mean I'm dropping the impeachment.
You showed some real faulty judgment.
Impeach me, don't impeach me.
I don't care about that right now.
We got bigger fish to fry.
Agreed.
- So if you just step down-- - Look I just came back from seeing my ex up in Trenton.
He told me he drove one of the trucks that dumped the paint sludge in the mines.
I'd already mentioned the faulty judgment.
He gave me this.
What am I looking at? - Is that Phillip? - Yeah.
Adorable.
So? You see the truck parked behind him? That's a Walpole sanitation truck.
They were in cahoots with the mob.
They helped orchestrate the dumping for the auto company.
Now they're blaming it on us.
I'm not a lawyer.
So what I need to know from you is can we use this picture as evidence? Evidence? When we sue Walpole for poisoning us.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I came here to help you get ready for them.
Then go back to Mom's.
Why can't I help you? You can help me by doing what I say.
You don't think much of me, do you? After all the crap I put you guys through, and I didn't even kill him.
It's a lucky thing you didn't.
You kill somebody, you can be sure you're never gonna forget them.
You want to see that guy's face every time you wake up? I don't know who you're trying to honor with all this crap.
Mac wasn't about getting even.
You think I'm weak.
I don't think that.
Well, I haven't given up on seeing him punished.
I'm starting to wonder why I ever went up there to go get you.
You didn't learn a goddamn thing.
Stop worrying about other people.
The world's gonna see that they get theirs.
Now get the hell back to Mom's.
- You got a second? - What is it? I was one of the responders when your daughter called in.
After your father-in-law's heart attack, I went over there personally to make sure everything was okay.
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
Well, there was one thing I left out of the report.
Figured I'd just tell you and let you handle it how you want.
I never asked you to do that.
I was just looking out for the department.
What is it? Well, when I went over there, your wife-- she seemed like she was pretty out of it.
I mean, your daughter did all the talking, and So? Well, I got the feeling that your daughter was under some kind of serious duress.
Her grandfather just died.
That's all.
I'm sure that's all it was.
I know it's none of my business, but I just wanted to let you know.
I saw you talking with Junior earlier.
Yeah.
So? So, I don't think you want to start up with him again.
I like him.
But I think it's just gonna make it harder for you to leave next year.
I'm not leaving.
What are you talking about? Of course you are.
Nope.
I'm gonna stay here with him.
I don't care about college.
I'll get a job.
Take it out on me, Rachel.
Don't take it out on yourself.
Junior's like Dad.
He'll stay with me even if I end up like you.
Junior's not like your father.
If anything, he's like Phillip.
He's always going to be in trouble.
I'd rather be in trouble than be alone.
I can't let you make this decision right now.
It's not up to you.
I'm not going.
You have to get away from here, Rachel.
Mom you can't make me do anything anymore.
What's the matter? Hey, hey, hey.
Hold on.
Hold on.
What's going on? Nothing.
Did something happen with Mom while I was gone? Something with Grandpa? No.
Honey, secrets can be a hard thing to carry by yourself.
Take it from your dad.
There are no secrets, Dad.
Drop it.
Drop it.
Is there any more of you? Don't lie to me now.
We got him.
He's still hanging on.
You want to come say goodbye? Oh, shit.
Turn around.
How long were you gonna torture me for? Hmm? Come on.
Tell me.
I need a little inspiration.
Don't do it.
"Don't do it"? That's the best you can come up with? I can give you 100 times what was in that bag of money you stole from me.
In cash? Whatever you want.
Nah, save your money.
You got a big funeral to pay for.
Sounds like somebody called the cops.
You kill me, they'll put you away forever.
You broke into my house.
I got a right to protect my property.
I'm sure that our Tribal Police will back me up on that.
You should have left Junior alone.
You got our Chief killed.
Well, this is what happens.
So you're doing this in the service of your family and your tribe.
That's right.
Think you're some noble avenger? I'm just a goddamn murderer, same as you.
You got a surprise coming.
No, no, no, no, no.
Frank.
We got here as fast as we could.
Oh, no.
Oh, Jesus.
I'm sorry.
They were here for me.
She was trying to protect me.
Oh, no, no.
Hey.
Hey.
You got to hold on, okay? You hold on.
All right? We can't survive without you, okay? His heart rate's dropping.
We got to move.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Okay? Okay? Hold on.
