People of Earth (2016) s02e07 Episode Script

Bee Kind

1 A civilian died on your watch.
I reported what I reported.
And that's that.
I'm gonna need your badge and your gun.
Alex, are you okay? My name is Don.
And, uh, I'm an alcoholic.
- I say we mutiny.
- We'll call it "Jeff's Mutiny.
" This lifelong vow thing is gonna be a lot harder to get out of than we thought.
You got weak, Walsh.
Do you think this is going to work? I have to try.
[SHIP WHIRRING.]
[YAWNS.]
So, uh Eric said this was okay? Uh-huh.
Why did you bring a human on the ship? As a trophy.
Oh, Jonathan, you are wicked.
Where should we mount his head? Maybe somewhere public, to motivate and inspire the others? Yeah Sick asshole wants to mount his head.
[SIGHS.]
I hope this chamber works.
Yeah, I mean, it worked for Kurt.
Of course, uh, humans are a more simplistic life-form.
He's lying there because of me.
I got to make it right.
I have a confession.
I, uh I, too, got close to one of my subjects Kelly.
In StarCrossed? You dirty dog.
Yeah.
We, uh We broke up, and now I'm an alcoholic.
- What? - Yeah.
You drank one day.
And now I'm on that road to recovery.
- [ALARM BLARING.]
- There's been a security breach! We have an intruder.
It's in there.
Eric wants us to get rid of it.
I don't see anything.
[GASPS.]
There! [BUZZING.]
It's a bee.
I heard about a guy on another ship that got stung by one, and his head exploded.
- That definitely didn't happen.
- You weren't there.
Yeah, you guys brought the bee up here.
You were both down on Earth.
So was Kurt! D-Do not blame Kurt! You know, I bet you it was Don.
- I - Guys, if we can't get rid of a bee, how are we gonna get rid of a Cube? Oh, guys, the bee's moving.
Huh? Ohh! Ohh! Holy shit! It flies! Aah! Aah! Run for your lives! [SCREAMS.]
Aah! Get away! [WHIMPERING.]
Guys, it's got me cornered! [CRIES.]
The other day, I tried to order a burrito.
Well, I ordered the burrito, but then, I couldn't eat it, because it reminded me of Ozzie.
Tastes and smells will often remind us of the people that we love, so Why not try switching to enchiladas for a while? I-I'm sorry.
Can we stop talking about burritos? Alex Foster has not returned any of my calls right? And I have a lot of valuable information to share with her.
Yeah.
What is up with that? Is anyone trying to solve Ozzie's case? I talked to the FBI for 20 minutes, and they did not write down a single thing that I said.
Well, what were they supposed to write down? What the inside of her car looked like? Weren't you handcuffed the whole time? Guys, an American journalist was murdered on U.
S.
soil.
There is no FBI follow-up, no news coverage.
That doesn't sound strange to you guys? The news doesn't usually cover heart attacks, unless it's someone, you know, super famous.
- A soap-opera star.
- Soap opera stars.
Yeah, well, I'm gonna tell you guys something right now I don't know about y'all, but I'm not healing until whoever killed Ozzie is behind bars, or worse.
This is an FBI cover-up.
Area 51, Roswell, Jimmy Hoffa Now Ozzie Graham.
That's it.
Raise your hands if you think this is a cover-up.
Okay, fine.
I admit it It reeks of a cover-up.
It does.
[TELEVISION TURNS ON.]
Traffic on I-40 will be delayed for some time.
Now over to Ozzie Graham for a breaking news bulletin.
Thanks, Sue.
Disgraces FBI agent Alex Foster has been suspended indefinitely by the FBI.
This is the latest in a pattern of rejection that began with her parents abandoning her as an infant.
Oh, sources say she's moping around, feeling sorry for herself while my killers remain at large.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
WOMAN: So, next up we have a spectacular gold-link bracelet.
Now, if you think this is beautiful on TV, it is about 1,000 times more beautiful in person.
Sorry, Ozzie.
Looks like I won't get the chance to catch your killer.
The fact that Chelsea was even willing to do this gives me hope.
And I know that, with your help, we can get our marriage back on track.
It's always good to have hope, John.
But have you thought about how healthy a divorce might be? Divorce? We didn't come here to talk about divorce.
I would be doing you a disservice as a marriage counselor if I wasn't willing to discuss all possible options.
I don't think we should talk about in our first session.
Well, Doug is the counselor, honey, right? So let's let him counsel.
But you are the only good thing in my life, Chelsea.
Why don't we try imagining life without Chelsea.
Just imagine imagine doing whatever whatever it is that gives you joy, without me coming home and nagging you.
"Pick up those socks! Take a bath!" It says that bees are the deadliest non-human animal in America.
You're only looking at the bad side of bees.
They also pollinate flowers, and they make honey.
Tell that to the 53 people that died last year.
It's blood honey.
- [BUZZING.]
- Holy shit! - Don't do that! - [LAUGHS.]
- It's not funny.
- It's pretty funny.
- Geez, come on.
- [BUZZING.]
I said stop it.
Knock it off.
Okay, that wasn't me.
Oh.
It's back.
Oh, no! I'm gonna die! The bee's out to get me! - Wait, wait! Hold on a sec.
- Wait! - Where are you going? - Oh, go away, bee.
Shoo! Go, bee! [CRIES.]
Come on.
That's it, bee.
Come on.
Come on, bee.
Look at this big yellow flower.
Oh.
And fetch! It worked.
[CHUCKLES.]
Where'd you get that flower? Don's desk.
- Damn it, Don! - What? You brought the bee on the ship! Tha Shoot.
Dante should've been here seven minutes ago.
Doesn't he care about his job? Oh.
Oh, no, I know I'm getting a free pizza.
That's where this conversation is starting.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
That better be Dante.
You're not pizza.
[SNIFFS.]
Oh.
Do you want to open a window? Sort of a strong smell.
It's the smell of failure.
You get used to it after a while.
Yeah.
Smells a lot like my divorce.
There you go.
So, what brings you guys to Albuquerque? Meth? Okay.
We're here to get the truth about how Ozzie died.
Well, you might want to call the cops, because I can't help you.
I got suspended from the FBI.
- Suspended? Why? - Huh? Because I'm a terrible agent.
I let Walsh get away, and a man died on my watch.
So you're just gonna give up? Uh, yeah.
I think so.
Mm-hmm.
Y-You can't just quit.
We need your help to find answers.
All right.
Whatever happened to that Alex Foster that kept me handcuffed to her car and would not allow me a pee break for the entire ride because she was so determined to catch Walsh? - Huh? - She got her ass handed to her.
And now she's wearing the same pajamas she's been wearing for six days in a row.
- Ew.
- Okay, Alex.
Did Annie give up when Miss Hannigan tricked her - Don't.
- and kidnapped her - Don't you dare.
- and she ran away and went up that crazy, weird crane thing and risked her life? Don't bring my favorite musical into this.
- I know what you're doing.
- Is it working? - No.
- Oh.
Look, I get it.
I've been here with the fried rice and the box wine, and I got to say, Ozzie deserves better.
All right, I'll I'll tell you what I'll do.
I will talk to the agent who's on the case now, and I'll set up a meeting.
But that's all I am promising you.
- Okay.
- Okay.
And as a mental-health professional and a friend, honestly, you should really just take I know.
I'm gonna shower.
You're gonna feel better.
Yeah.
And we'd like to stay here tonight.
- Do you have a spare room? - [BELL TOLLS.]
I'm so sorry.
Going to you for the marriage counseling was John's idea, and I thought if I said no, then he'd be suspicious.
No, yeah.
I I understand.
It's just It's incredibly awkward.
I have to say, Chelsea, he seems sincere about reconciling.
I know.
He's doing these These different things in bed, as well.
He's trying - No.
Okay.
- You know what? Forget it.
Okay.
I just I think that it's too little too late, Doug, really, I do.
I'm sorry, but I'm just gonna rip this marriage off like a Band-Aid.
I think it's for the best, right? Doug! I'm nodding.
Yes.
I forgot you can't see me.
I'm nodding.
I agree, I agree.
We can't have screw-ups like this.
You always do this.
I've never brought up a bee before.
No, not a bee.
But do you remember that time you brought up that human cold, and I was sick for months? And you seem to have forgotten the biggest screw-up The time that you brought up a human woman filled with babies.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one.
I didn't know.
She was wearing a very flowy dress.
- [WOMAN GROANING.]
- What's wrong with this subject? I don't know.
Oh, there's something coming out of her.
There is? Ugh! Don! She's giving birth.
- Aah! - [WOMAN SCREAMS.]
- Wow.
What? - That is beautiful.
What the hell is that? It's a human baby.
Ugh.
Get it away from me.
Where's the mother? Oh, she just left.
She Wha What do you mean? Another baby was coming out of her.
I beamed her back down.
- Where? - I don't know.
Somewhere on Earth.
I had to act fast.
Who knows how many more she had in there.
I don't want a ship full of babies.
What do I do with this one? You brought her up here in the first place.
You figure it out.
Not my circus, not my monkey.
I wonder whatever happened to her.
I hope she's safe.
Oh, you hope she's safe.
What about me? That bee could be anywhere.
Just like that baby.
Excuse me.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
I have an appointment on Earth.
Oh, hey, Don, make sure you bring us back some scorpions.
Yeah, o-or a rattlesnake.
[CELLPHONE RINGS.]
Hi.
Chelsea? Hi.
Uh, I did it.
I told John about us and that I want a divorce.
You You did? How did he take it? You know, um Well, not not very well.
That's actually why I'm I'm calling.
He wants to talk to you.
- To me? About what? - Oh, I don't know.
He mentioned something about maybe kicking your ass.
All right.
Here's our guy, Ramirez.
He's a good agent, but just so you know, - he's a little obsessed with me.
- Oh.
Do you want me to act like your boyfriend? No, please don't.
Don't do that.
- No? - We're here.
- Don't.
- I'm so glad you called.
I've been really wanting to see you.
Who are these people? "These people"? [SCOFFS.]
We're concerned citizens.
Actually, we're your bosses.
Our taxes pay your salary, guy.
- They knew Ozzie Graham.
- Oh.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Are you? Are you? - He just said he was.
- What's wrong with this guy? - Richard.
- Just Okay.
This is everything on the case.
Feels light.
There's hardly anything in here.
I put a gift in there for you.
Where's Ozzie's stuff? - That's all they gave me.
- What? I worked on the case for one day, and then Agent Saunders told me to shut it down.
It's been officially closed.
It's been closed? But Walsh is still missing.
A man died.
There's a killer at large.
Look, you didn't get this from me.
Except for the gift.
- It's a bracelet.
- I don't I don't want it.
- Well, can I - You can't.
- Can I call - No.
[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
[COUGHING.]
Cover-up! [COUGHING.]
I can't believe the FBI would tamper with evidence.
Ozzie's laptop, his journal, his phone they're all missing.
What kind of world do we live in if you can't trust a government agency? - Try the real one, okay? - Look at this.
Almost the whole report's been redacted My third-man theory, the bright light, Ozzie's last words.
Wait.
Ozzie said something to you before he died? Ozzie, what happened? Are you okay? - Trust Walsh - Ozzie, it's okay.
I'll get help.
Find the others.
"Find the others.
" God, it still haunts me.
"Find the others.
" What does that mean? Uh, other aliens, other experiencers, other - "others.
" - And the bright light.
I mean, why would they redact that? I don't even know what it was.
Meh! Survey says aliens.
Why else would they redact all of your findings? It sounds like you saw something that they don't want explained.
But you know who are experts at the unexplainable? StarCrossed.
The FBI may have given up on Ozzie, but we won't.
We may not surveillance capabilities, the parking situation at the church is not ideal It's not.
And, honestly, that ant problem is terrible.
- It's so gross.
- It's really bad.
But we will listen to you, and we promise not to redact anything that you say.
[CLAPS.]
Everyone? So sorry.
Rehearsals are cancelled, please.
Please, practice at home.
Thank you.
Thank you, Linda.
Thank you, all.
Rehearse at home.
Exit, please.
Please exit, thank you.
Can I, uh Can I have a word with you, Father? Oh, no.
Um [WOMAN GASPS.]
This is a sacred area! You're not allowed up here.
My wife was a sacred area.
[SIGHS.]
- You Oh! Okay.
- Ohh! [BOTH GRUNTING.]
Oy, my Bobby! John, stop it! He's a priest! - He's a wife-stealer! - No, John, stop it! Fighting Doug won't solve anything! I don't love you anymore! I love Doug! - You love him? - Yeah.
I love you, too, Chelsea.
Oh.
John, I'm sorry.
Our marriage is over.
It has been for a a l-l-long while.
I know.
I know it is.
I cheated on you again.
With a lady at a gas station.
Oh.
I have a problem.
I'd like to share a story about something I did a long time ago that weighs heavily on my heart.
I was delivering a baby when, suddenly, the mother disappeared.
I tried to find her, but I could not.
So I did the only thing I could think of.
You told me that this time you are leaving DON: Goodbye, little one.
To beg you to stay would be a crime I hope you'd give us Another chance to love So I'll see you when you come again I just always felt guilty about abandoning her, and I'm worried that she never found her family or that she grew up all alone inside of a store.
We all do a lot of messed-up stuff when we're drunk.
Oh, I wasn't drunk.
This is way before drinking, ever.
I never heard about alcohol when this happened.
Oh.
You drank after? No, no.
I just read your pamphlet, and I'd like to make amends.
- I understand it's step nine? - Yeah.
That's great, Don, but the steps need to be done sequentially.
I know.
So I did steps one through eight this morning, 'cause I really want to help this baby find its mother.
Want to make it right.
This is Jeff.
If you're listening to this, it means I'm dead.
This is a record of our last moments.
Our ship was boarded by a hostile intruder A bee.
What are you doing? I'm making a record.
Future generations should know how we died.
No one's dead yet.
We've got the bee trapped in the airlock.
What? Why didn't you tell me? You're welcome.
Okay.
Now that you're safe, I've got some unfinished business to take care of.
Good news.
I successfully captured the bee.
Crisis averted.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah.
It's in there.
Now, when I press this button, the bee will get sucked out into space.
- Let me do it.
- No, I trapped it.
I'm doing it.
Well, let's do it together, then.
- On the count of three.
- Okay, on three.
One Ha! [LAUGHS.]
I got rid of the bee! [LAUGHS.]
Now I can tell Eric I saved the ship, and it'll be the truth.
You bastard.
Oh, you're a sore loser.
Suck it, Kurt.
GINA: So, as far as the FBI is concerned, the case is closed.
"Heart attacks.
" No, this is bullshit.
This would never happen at the post office.
They make a bigger deal about losing a package.
We're talking about a man's life here, people.
- A man's life.
- Yeah, I-I'm not, like, a huge conspiracy-theory wing nut, - like - Excuse me.
but this situation just jumped from suspicious to shady as hell.
Sorry.
No offense.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
It's why I'm here.
I really want to help you guys get to the truth.
If only there was something that could help explain all this.
I wonder what it could be, Alex? [WHISPERING.]
Aliens.
At this point, Gerry, I'm open to entertaining all possibilities, because Ozzie deserves justice.
But, for the record, I still think it's Russians.
- Russians?! - Nope.
Nope.
We just talked about how it's aliens.
- Wrong! - Russians.
Ooh! We don't know it's not the Russians.
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, we're welcoming a new member, okay.
Taking a new path can be scary.
But we must not be afraid to do that that is right Even if no one agrees with you, even if it's hard Especially if it's hard.
You meet someone who, uh, changes your life in a way you never expected.
I've met that someone.
And I'm going to walk down a new path with her.
Today is my last homily.
From From today on, I will no longer be Father Doug but just Doug.
[SCATTERED APPLAUSE.]
[LOCK RATTLING.]
Whoever this is, you're making a big mistake.
This isn't a mistake.
It's payback.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
All right.
I dug my own grave.
All right, now comes the hard part You have to kill me.
I'm calling your bluff.
Is that so? That's just pointing, that's not killing.
Killing's harder.
Look You've gone soft.
That's all right.
I mean, you're a disgrace to your own species.
[SIGHS.]
We're gonna find all you traitors who've gone soft.
You can't hide forever.
I'm glad I killed your human friend [GUNSHOT.]
[BODY THUDS.]
I'm glad I killed you.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
