Outcast (2016) s02e09 Episode Script
This Is How It Starts
1 (SIGHS) (METAL SCRAPES) (GRUNTS) (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) - (RHYTHM AND BLUES SONG PLAYING) - Darlin' you You're all I need - (HUMMING) - You're all I need, baby Oh, oh-oh-oh Darlin' you You're all I need You're all I need, baby White wine Ah! A rose.
A rose by any other name would be Rose.
(DOG BARKS NEARBY) (SNIFFS) (HORSE WHINNIES NEARBY) (SIGHS) (SIGHS) Rise and shine, sleepyhead.
Breakfast is served.
Rose? Rosie! (SHOVEL SCRAPES) - Rose? - (ROSE GRUNTS) (SHOVEL SCRAPES) GILES: What are you doing? It's supposed to get hot today.
That body's gonna get pretty ripe in the back of your truck.
GILES: Stop.
And we need to do something about Kat 'cause I just left her in that warehouse, - and somebody's gonna find her, so - I'll handle it.
It's my mess, Byron, I'll clean it up myself.
Rose.
- We are in this together.
- (SIGHS) Well, maybe we should plant something here after.
Some annuals.
Create some nice color for the spring, right? - Are you feeling all right? - (SOBS) I killed my best friend, Byron.
And I know she was one of those things.
I know.
(SOBS) But, honey, it was her voice, it was her eyes, and her blood was all over me.
Aw Honey, you're burning up.
Oh, it's nothing.
I I'm just probably out of shape.
Go on inside, I made you some breakfast.
I'm not hungry, Byron.
I just want to do this.
Rose, I got this.
(SNIFFLES) Okay.
Okay.
I don't know what'd I do without you.
(SIGHS) (SNIFFLES) NARRATOR (ON TV): While running, the cheetah uses its tail to steer, similar to a rudder on a boat.
They are the only big cat that can turn midair (TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) Sorry.
It's the best I could scrounge.
What are you watching? AMBER: It stopped running.
- ALLISON: What? - The big animal.
It got tired and stopped running.
It's just nature, Mom.
Well, I don't like that kind of nature.
I like the kind with flowers, and rainbows, and butterflies.
Butterflies only live for a few weeks.
All right, could we talk about something else, Miss Doom and Gloom? (QUIETLY) Come on.
(KNOCKING) (SIGHS) Howdy! I was starting to think you were never coming back.
(CHUCKLES) Have you heard from Kyle? What are we supposed to be doing? Well, here's what you do: You shelter in place.
Stay alert.
Protect your cub.
Look at her.
Hey, my little darlin'! How you doing? I brought you something to play with so you won't get bored.
Come looky here.
(CHUCKLES) See, you can build stuff.
A lot better than Tinker Toys.
You can learn a lot from that too.
- Thanks.
- Enjoy! (CHUCKLES) So, I'll, uh I'll be back tonight to look in on y'all, all right? - Okay.
- Okay.
(SIDNEY COUGHING) ANDERSON: Now, if we wait long enough (COUGHS) this problem may just solve itself.
You mean we just sit here and watch him die? SIDNEY (SCOFFS): Why not? Let you off the hook from having to make an actual decision.
But I can make it even easier for ya.
You're out of time.
You can feel it, can't you, Kyle? The darkness closing in.
No.
The only thing I feel? Your desperation.
You're never gonna see your Merge.
- You know that.
- (SIGHS) Disappointing, indeed, but at least I can die knowing my mission is complete.
I'm not the one locked in a fucking basement this time.
No.
You're the one who still thinks the only reason I came to Rome was because of you.
(SNICKERING) What do you mean? What do you mean, Sidney? Goddamn it, tell me.
(CHUCKLES) - (SIZZLING) - (SCREAMING) If I'm not the one you need to bring on the Merge, then who is it? - (SCREAMING) - Just tell me.
Tell me, goddamn it! (WHIMPERS) Fuck.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
You and Amber, you're not the only beacons in Rome.
That night at the school, he told the mayor there was another beacon there.
(SCOFFS) Makes you wonder how the other pieces fit together.
Tell me who the other beacon is.
(PHONE RINGING) It's Giles.
Chief, what is it? GILES: Kyle, it's Rose.
She's sick.
Now, it could be nothing.
The flu.
But you know how these things start.
How long has it been? A couple of hours.
Kyle, we can't let this happen.
Not to her.
Okay, stay calm.
I'm on my way.
(GASPS SOFTLY) (GASPING) Oh.
(PANTING) - What is it? - She attacked me.
- What happened? - She tried to Dot? Dot.
Dot! Dot? Oh, what happened? What did you do? Shit! Oscar! Oscar! What happened?! She wouldn't let me leave.
She drugged me.
That's crazy.
She came after me! She wanted to use this on my baby.
Why? What? Why would she come after your baby? Is there something wrong with it? Did she find something? You're not here to threaten what we have here, Megan, are you? I came here for your help, 'cause you said you understood my situation, - that we were alike.
- Mmm, then why did you kill her? Blake killed her! Blake? The man you brought here? I'm sorry, I - Where's Blake? - I don't know! What is it, Dakota? Jesus.
- Is she - Yeah.
What happened? We're about to find out.
You tell everyone that I want that newcomer found.
He could be dangerous.
She does not leave! Hey.
Hey! (SIGHS) Hey, hey, hey.
I got a nice cold washcloth right from the fridge.
Hang onto it.
I'll be burning up in a minute.
It comes and goes.
You know, I've said it before, summer colds are the worst.
Mm-mm.
- (MOANS) - Rosie.
- (MOANING) - Rosie? Rose? - I can't! - Whoa! All right.
- The heat wave is back.
- I'm here, baby.
- Just breathe, baby.
I got you, I got you.
- Okay.
I got you, I got you.
- (MOANS) - Baby, I got you.
You make a damn good nurse.
(CHUCKLES) You woke up that morning feeling all out of sorts.
You were all flushed and achy, and I know you thought I didn't notice, but I did.
This is how it starts, isn't it? This ain't that.
Mm.
(COUGHS) But you called Kyle though.
I was just taking a precaution.
Well, so am I.
Top drawer of the bureau, my silk scarves are in there.
I'm not gonna tie you up.
Byron, you told me yourself, people lose control.
Please, Byron.
For me.
(ROSE COUGHS) Shit.
(TIRES SCREECHING) (ENGINE SPUTTERS, STOPS) (ENGINE SPUTTERING) (SIGHS) Goddamn it.
(LIQUID TRICKLING) Howdy, Kyle.
AMBER: I saw a park down the street.
ALLISON: We gotta stay inside.
AMBER: I promise to be careful.
- I won't talk to anybody - No! I'm sorry, honey.
I just ALLISON: Oh, God.
Let's see what Bob got for ya! I'm sorry you're stuck here with me, baby.
I know you'd rather be with Daddy, but I'm trying my best.
I really am.
You think I love him better but I don't.
I love you exactly the same.
I just feel like this when I'm near him.
Stronger.
It's like a pull.
(SOFTLY) Okay.
Can I ask you something? What does it feel like when you push the monsters out of people? - Does it hurt? - No.
It's more like something gets turned on inside of me.
Like electricity or something.
And what do the monsters look like when you see 'em? What did I look like? You just looked like Mommy on the outside but I could feel how scared you were on the inside.
Scared of what? Me.
I wanna see Holly.
She's fine, she's with Tracy and the other kids.
MEGAN: Great! Do you trust Tracy as much as you did Dot? - Where's my daughter? - That woman was like a sister to me! You got an explanation for what she did? MEGAN: She was a fucking monster! That's your explanation, ask Blake! - Oh, I'm sure we will if we ever find him.
- ANDERSON: Who's Blake? I thought he was a friend of yours.
Blake Morrow, he came to Kyle's house.
Blake Morrow is in prison, he's on death row.
He's one of them, Megan.
He said he was like me, like us.
You made us all vulnerable? After everything we've done to protect ourselves? To protect yourselves from what? The Apocalypse.
The End of Days.
I mean, you've got plenty of names for it.
The difference is is that when their Merge happens, you will not be lifted up to Heaven.
What are you talking about? I have one job.
A holy mission.
To create a sanctuary for people like us.
Only for people like you.
If we let anyone else in, they could destroy us, and I need to make sure that there's still some of us left after all this is over.
MEGAN: What is this? Some kind of fucking doomsday cult? So you're prepared to just give up on the rest of humanity? - People? - No, we're not giving up.
We're starting over.
You're fucking delusional.
Those who live in glass houses, Reverend.
You need to take a look around and ask yourselves, is hitting the reset button really such a bad idea? MEGAN (SCOFFS): Oh my God.
BLAKE (MUFFLED): Hey.
(SING-SONGY) Kyle.
Kyle! Hey! Goddamn, Kyle.
You look like dog shit, and I'm not talking about that bump you got on your noggin.
You actually live here, in this crusty, old shit box! Nice touch, huh? The old "turn the tables" thing.
(CHUCKLES) What are you doing here, Blake? (CHUCKLES) I didn't think you were gonna remember me.
You need to let me go.
Well, I'm not locked up anymore, Outcast, so I don't need to do anything I don't want to do! I can eat when I want, sleep when I want.
I shit when I want.
(EXHALES) (MOANS) - (WHIMPERS) - Come here.
Fuck when I want.
Ooh! Hey, hey! Well, that'll be a neat trick.
Huh? Even for you! Use the Force.
(BLAKE MAKING EERIE NOISES) (LAUGHING) Just tell me what you want.
What I want? I had a dream.
A vision, actually.
I have seen the future.
My near future, and it is fucked up because of you! I know.
You know? You're right, Blake.
You're fucked! Your future is set and there's nothing you can do to save it but I can.
Blake, you just let me go.
Sure, sure.
How you gonna stop the Merge, hmm? What is your plan, hmm? What the plan? Tell me the plan.
When are you fucking gonna do it? Oh, honey bear, you don't wanna see this.
Get me a beer.
We're gonna be here a little while.
(GRUNTING) (COUGHING) GILES: Just hang in there, baby.
(WATER TRICKLING) This scarf? Too tight? It was a birthday gift from Kat Ogden.
She always said I was an autumn, and that the - the warm colors made me look younger.
- You look any younger, they'll be hauling my cradle-robbing ass off to jail.
Kat was always good to me, Byron.
Maybe that's why this is happening to me.
It's punishment for that.
It's It's for Kat, and it's for - Evelyn Bailey.
- Nothing is happening to you, and if it is, Kyle gonna be here shortly to take it out.
Now you just drink.
Maybe he shouldn't.
What? If I just let it take me, then maybe I won't care what I did, Byron.
- Don't you ever say that again.
- It won't matter.
Don't you ever say that again.
- Honey, maybe this is the only way I can live with this.
- No, no.
Nothing's gonna harm you.
How about we order a pizza? Pepperoni, please.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Okay.
Whatever you want.
- I'm gonna take a shower.
- Okay.
(WATER RUNNING) (KNOCKING) WOMAN: Housekeeping.
We're fine, thank you.
WOMAN: Y'all want some fresh towels? (WATER CONTINUES RUNNING) (GROANS) (PANTING) (MOANS, PANTS) So blind.
So fucking blind.
(GRUNTING) Daddy's always right.
Daddy's always right.
What, what? What are you looking for? What's going on? Blake? What are you looking for? - Don't distract me! - (GASPS) (BOTTLES CLATTER) (CHUCKLES) Hey, hey.
(WHIMPERING) KYLE: You know if he comes back in that room, he's killing us both, you know that.
Please.
They are our legacy.
What makes us immortal.
Never had a family, but I always thought I wanted kids, but it didn't work out with the woman I thought was the one.
(CHUCKLING MANIACALLY) (GROANS) It's the story of my life! Bad decision after bad decision after bad decision, and now it turns out that I've been following the wrong beacon.
BLAKE: She's the one who's been dancing in my head.
- No.
- Taunting me with her light.
Your daughter is the light.
Blake, you're wrong.
Believe me.
BLAKE: What's her name? Look.
She's not of any threat to you.
BLAKE: We've all seen the Merge.
The door flung open for all to enter.
Right, babe? But I'm the only one who's seen your little girl slamming the door in our faces.
That's what this is about.
You think you're the hero.
Right? You think you're the savior of all your kind.
Glad you see it my way.
The problem with that, Blake, is I'm not letting you within ten feet of my daughter.
And if you even try I swear to God, I will tear you apart with my bare hands.
Sounds like fun.
- (GRUNTS) - Get the keys! (GRUNTS) (YELPS) (GRUNTS, YELPS) (CRYING) (COUGHS, GASPS) (GRUNTS) (SHOUTS) (YELLS IN PAIN) (GRUNTING, GROANING) - (SIZZLING) - (SCREAMS) (BLAKE YELLING) (GLASS SHATTERS) (KYLE GROANING) Shit.
- (CLATTERING) - (DOG BARKING NEARBY) Rose? Goddamn it.
(MUTTERS) Rose! (SHOUTS) Rose! ROSE: Fever broke.
Jesus, Rosie! Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
I just had to pee from all the Gatorade you had me drinking.
- That's all.
- Let me look at you.
I'm okay, Byron.
(LAUGHING) I told you everything was gonna be fine! - Yes, you did.
- Yeah! - That's what I do.
- The power of positive thinking.
- You know I'm the man.
- Yes.
You are my man.
(CHUCKLING) I guess I'm just gonna have to live with myself a little big longer, huh? Stop it.
There is nothing to be forgiven.
Woman this is war.
And that means that we get a pass for some of the things that we've had to do.
- Hey, huh? Huh? - (SIGHS) I'll bet you're starving.
I am gonna go into that kitchen and make you a plate.
Then we'll sit out back.
- I think both of us could use some fresh air.
- Okay.
Come here, woman, knock me a kiss.
Whoo! (SIGHS) (SIGHS) HOLLY: I didn't get to say goodbyes yet.
MEGAN: I know.
We'll come back and bring everyone cupcakes, okay? Right now, we gotta go.
- HOLLY: Where? - MEGAN: Just get in, please.
Get in, sweetie.
Megan.
Megan, wait.
These people are all a bunch of lunatics waiting for the world to end.
There is nothing you could say that would make me stay.
I don't want you stay.
I want you to get as far away as you can from here.
Lunatics or not, they're right about one thing.
You're gonna survive this.
Now get some place safe.
What about everybody else? Well, we'll just go all in.
Keep on fighting as long as we can.
(SIGHS) No matter what comes next, I want you to know, I'll always appreciate everything you've done for me.
Good luck.
Take care of yourself.
(CAR STARTS) (SNIFFLES) Hey.
(CHUCKLES) Evening, garçon.
(COUGHS) What's on the menu tonight? This this is truly undignified.
Do you want to eat or not? Well, I do, yeah.
You can't keep putting something in one end, without it coming out the other.
So, shit your pants.
I don't care.
You know, they say you start your life as an infant and end it the same way.
Eating pabulum and crapping in your drawers.
(COUGHS) Oh, life at the Ritz.
You never seen anyone like me before, have you? Well, you don't look like much to me.
Exactly.
Two arms, two legs.
No horns.
Nothing special.
But you're special though, aren't you? You're inoculated.
You'll survive the Merge all shiny and pristine, while everyone else gets swept away.
Problem is there's more than one way to squash a bug.
GILES: Hey, Rose? (CHUCKLES) My darling! I got to say, I outdid myself! Oh, yeah! Madame! Breakfast as dinner! As I promised.
Ro Rose? (WEEPING) Rosie.
No.
You I got you.
I got you.
I got you.
Come on, baby.
Oh, what did you do? Breathe.
Breathe, damn it.
Come on, baby, you gonna breathe.
Breathe.
Come on, breathe.
I got you.
I love you so much.
I love you, baby.
Come on.
Come on, we gonna We gonna do this.
(GRUNTING) Breathe.
I am gonna save you.
(WEEPING) You didn't have to do this.
Rosie.
You didn't have to do it.
(KNOCKING, DOOR SQUEAKS) - Allison! The - (WATER RUNNING) Allison? Allison? Amber? Girls? (WATER CONTINUES RUNNING) Chief! Chief.
Rose.
(WHISPERS) Hey, Ro GILES: She hanged herself.
Did everything I could to try to bring her back, but I was just too late.
I'm sorry.
If I'd have been here It was just the flu, Kyle.
Too late.
Then why? She just couldn't live with the not knowing.
Maybe.
This time, it was a false alarm.
But what about tomorrow? The day after? I fucking hate what she done but I respect her choice to do it.
(GROANS) (PANTING) (GRUNTING, PANTING) (COUGHING) - (GUNSHOT ECHOES) - (GRUNTS) (GROANS) I'd stop right there if I were you.
PARK: Jesus Christ.
I sure hope you brought some Advil.
- Come here.
- Ow! Well, it looks like you made the most of your time off.
Me and the Outcast got into a slight disagreement.
Kyle Barnes was your unfinished business? That fucker? He's a lot tougher than he looks.
Get in the car.
We have work to do, and I'm running out of time.
Yeah, about that.
Being your lab rat doesn't sound like that good of an idea to me anymore.
We had a deal.
What if there was someone even purer than me? Someone who didn't travel to this world like the rest of us.
Because they didn't need to.
And why not? Because this is where they were created and they're just waiting to be born.
(SIDNEY COUGHING) (SIDNEY GROANING) (MUTTERS) Come here.
(GROANING, COUGHING) What is this? Where's Oscar? Oscar's dead.
Sidney killed him.
- Lock him back up.
- He's not your prisoner anymore.
Now, I'm taking him with me, but before I go, I'm giving each one of you one last chance to get your heads out of your asses and come with me.
(YELPS) (GROANING) Look at him! The big fat boogeyman's not so scary anymore, is he? They're vulnerable, and we can beat 'em! Nobody's going anywhere with you! You're not one of us! Then why did you invite me in? I needed a way to get to Kyle.
You were a means to an end.
Nothing more.
(SNICKERING) Well, she's right about one thing.
Your existence has been meaningless.
That said? I have appreciated your entertainment value.
(GRUNTS) I will not let you get into my head again.
No need to.
You're perfectly capable of making bad decisions all by yourself.
Just ask your wife and son.
(YELPS) My death (COUGHS) won't change a thing.
Maybe not.
At least it'll finally shut you up.
(GRUNTING) KYLE: Rev! Rev, no! - We don't need him anymore, Kyle.
- No! - Stop, stop! Stop it, let go! - We don't need him anymore.
- You got the power now! - Rev, get out of there! It's not just me! They're afraid of Amber! Rev, Rev Sidney, Sidney.
Tell me, what's so special about my daughter? You lose, Kyle.
(SCOFFS) No.
No! No! Sidney! (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) Simon.
(CONGREGATION MURMURING) Hello, son.
You're not welcome here anymore.
You need to leave.
KYLE: Rev.
Rev, hey! (MUTTERS) Oh, you gotta be kidding.
(BEEPING) Goddamn it.
I gotta run inside.
Stay here, and if anyone gets within ten feet of this car you lay on that horn, and I'll come running.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(CAR ALARM BEEPS) (DOOR CHIMING) There's something wrong with your pump.
Hello.
Can I get some gas, please? - Hey, what the hell is - PARK: Hello, Megan.
It's good to see you.
Stay away from me.
I have to apologize for what happened at the hospital, but the truth is I did save Kyle's life.
I also heard about that unfortunate incident with the midwife.
Now, I want you to know that if anything ever happened to you, or the baby, that would be a tragic loss for all of us.
What are you talking about? Megan, you have no idea how important that little life growing inside of you just might be, but if you'll allow me we can find out together.
MEGAN: Holly! Holly! - Holly! - HOLLY: Over here! It's okay, Mama.
Blake's my friend.
FLORENCE: Reverend Anderson.
Florence, I-I'm not here to cause trouble, I swear.
I just need somewhere safe to stay for the night.
I'll be gone in the morning, you have my word.
You don't understand.
Ever since the town meeting, we've been here day and night praying for a sign.
Something to give us hope and here you are.
It's a miracle.
(CONGREGATION MURMURING) You were right about the darkness in this town, in this world.
We were wrong to turn our back on you.
Show us the way.
Won't somebody tell me? Answer if you can Want somebody to tell me What is the soul of a man I'm going to ask the question Answer if you can If anybody here can tell me What is the soul of a man I've traveled in different countries I've traveled in foreign lands I found nobody to tell me What about the soul of a man
A rose by any other name would be Rose.
(DOG BARKS NEARBY) (SNIFFS) (HORSE WHINNIES NEARBY) (SIGHS) (SIGHS) Rise and shine, sleepyhead.
Breakfast is served.
Rose? Rosie! (SHOVEL SCRAPES) - Rose? - (ROSE GRUNTS) (SHOVEL SCRAPES) GILES: What are you doing? It's supposed to get hot today.
That body's gonna get pretty ripe in the back of your truck.
GILES: Stop.
And we need to do something about Kat 'cause I just left her in that warehouse, - and somebody's gonna find her, so - I'll handle it.
It's my mess, Byron, I'll clean it up myself.
Rose.
- We are in this together.
- (SIGHS) Well, maybe we should plant something here after.
Some annuals.
Create some nice color for the spring, right? - Are you feeling all right? - (SOBS) I killed my best friend, Byron.
And I know she was one of those things.
I know.
(SOBS) But, honey, it was her voice, it was her eyes, and her blood was all over me.
Aw Honey, you're burning up.
Oh, it's nothing.
I I'm just probably out of shape.
Go on inside, I made you some breakfast.
I'm not hungry, Byron.
I just want to do this.
Rose, I got this.
(SNIFFLES) Okay.
Okay.
I don't know what'd I do without you.
(SIGHS) (SNIFFLES) NARRATOR (ON TV): While running, the cheetah uses its tail to steer, similar to a rudder on a boat.
They are the only big cat that can turn midair (TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY) Sorry.
It's the best I could scrounge.
What are you watching? AMBER: It stopped running.
- ALLISON: What? - The big animal.
It got tired and stopped running.
It's just nature, Mom.
Well, I don't like that kind of nature.
I like the kind with flowers, and rainbows, and butterflies.
Butterflies only live for a few weeks.
All right, could we talk about something else, Miss Doom and Gloom? (QUIETLY) Come on.
(KNOCKING) (SIGHS) Howdy! I was starting to think you were never coming back.
(CHUCKLES) Have you heard from Kyle? What are we supposed to be doing? Well, here's what you do: You shelter in place.
Stay alert.
Protect your cub.
Look at her.
Hey, my little darlin'! How you doing? I brought you something to play with so you won't get bored.
Come looky here.
(CHUCKLES) See, you can build stuff.
A lot better than Tinker Toys.
You can learn a lot from that too.
- Thanks.
- Enjoy! (CHUCKLES) So, I'll, uh I'll be back tonight to look in on y'all, all right? - Okay.
- Okay.
(SIDNEY COUGHING) ANDERSON: Now, if we wait long enough (COUGHS) this problem may just solve itself.
You mean we just sit here and watch him die? SIDNEY (SCOFFS): Why not? Let you off the hook from having to make an actual decision.
But I can make it even easier for ya.
You're out of time.
You can feel it, can't you, Kyle? The darkness closing in.
No.
The only thing I feel? Your desperation.
You're never gonna see your Merge.
- You know that.
- (SIGHS) Disappointing, indeed, but at least I can die knowing my mission is complete.
I'm not the one locked in a fucking basement this time.
No.
You're the one who still thinks the only reason I came to Rome was because of you.
(SNICKERING) What do you mean? What do you mean, Sidney? Goddamn it, tell me.
(CHUCKLES) - (SIZZLING) - (SCREAMING) If I'm not the one you need to bring on the Merge, then who is it? - (SCREAMING) - Just tell me.
Tell me, goddamn it! (WHIMPERS) Fuck.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
You and Amber, you're not the only beacons in Rome.
That night at the school, he told the mayor there was another beacon there.
(SCOFFS) Makes you wonder how the other pieces fit together.
Tell me who the other beacon is.
(PHONE RINGING) It's Giles.
Chief, what is it? GILES: Kyle, it's Rose.
She's sick.
Now, it could be nothing.
The flu.
But you know how these things start.
How long has it been? A couple of hours.
Kyle, we can't let this happen.
Not to her.
Okay, stay calm.
I'm on my way.
(GASPS SOFTLY) (GASPING) Oh.
(PANTING) - What is it? - She attacked me.
- What happened? - She tried to Dot? Dot.
Dot! Dot? Oh, what happened? What did you do? Shit! Oscar! Oscar! What happened?! She wouldn't let me leave.
She drugged me.
That's crazy.
She came after me! She wanted to use this on my baby.
Why? What? Why would she come after your baby? Is there something wrong with it? Did she find something? You're not here to threaten what we have here, Megan, are you? I came here for your help, 'cause you said you understood my situation, - that we were alike.
- Mmm, then why did you kill her? Blake killed her! Blake? The man you brought here? I'm sorry, I - Where's Blake? - I don't know! What is it, Dakota? Jesus.
- Is she - Yeah.
What happened? We're about to find out.
You tell everyone that I want that newcomer found.
He could be dangerous.
She does not leave! Hey.
Hey! (SIGHS) Hey, hey, hey.
I got a nice cold washcloth right from the fridge.
Hang onto it.
I'll be burning up in a minute.
It comes and goes.
You know, I've said it before, summer colds are the worst.
Mm-mm.
- (MOANS) - Rosie.
- (MOANING) - Rosie? Rose? - I can't! - Whoa! All right.
- The heat wave is back.
- I'm here, baby.
- Just breathe, baby.
I got you, I got you.
- Okay.
I got you, I got you.
- (MOANS) - Baby, I got you.
You make a damn good nurse.
(CHUCKLES) You woke up that morning feeling all out of sorts.
You were all flushed and achy, and I know you thought I didn't notice, but I did.
This is how it starts, isn't it? This ain't that.
Mm.
(COUGHS) But you called Kyle though.
I was just taking a precaution.
Well, so am I.
Top drawer of the bureau, my silk scarves are in there.
I'm not gonna tie you up.
Byron, you told me yourself, people lose control.
Please, Byron.
For me.
(ROSE COUGHS) Shit.
(TIRES SCREECHING) (ENGINE SPUTTERS, STOPS) (ENGINE SPUTTERING) (SIGHS) Goddamn it.
(LIQUID TRICKLING) Howdy, Kyle.
AMBER: I saw a park down the street.
ALLISON: We gotta stay inside.
AMBER: I promise to be careful.
- I won't talk to anybody - No! I'm sorry, honey.
I just ALLISON: Oh, God.
Let's see what Bob got for ya! I'm sorry you're stuck here with me, baby.
I know you'd rather be with Daddy, but I'm trying my best.
I really am.
You think I love him better but I don't.
I love you exactly the same.
I just feel like this when I'm near him.
Stronger.
It's like a pull.
(SOFTLY) Okay.
Can I ask you something? What does it feel like when you push the monsters out of people? - Does it hurt? - No.
It's more like something gets turned on inside of me.
Like electricity or something.
And what do the monsters look like when you see 'em? What did I look like? You just looked like Mommy on the outside but I could feel how scared you were on the inside.
Scared of what? Me.
I wanna see Holly.
She's fine, she's with Tracy and the other kids.
MEGAN: Great! Do you trust Tracy as much as you did Dot? - Where's my daughter? - That woman was like a sister to me! You got an explanation for what she did? MEGAN: She was a fucking monster! That's your explanation, ask Blake! - Oh, I'm sure we will if we ever find him.
- ANDERSON: Who's Blake? I thought he was a friend of yours.
Blake Morrow, he came to Kyle's house.
Blake Morrow is in prison, he's on death row.
He's one of them, Megan.
He said he was like me, like us.
You made us all vulnerable? After everything we've done to protect ourselves? To protect yourselves from what? The Apocalypse.
The End of Days.
I mean, you've got plenty of names for it.
The difference is is that when their Merge happens, you will not be lifted up to Heaven.
What are you talking about? I have one job.
A holy mission.
To create a sanctuary for people like us.
Only for people like you.
If we let anyone else in, they could destroy us, and I need to make sure that there's still some of us left after all this is over.
MEGAN: What is this? Some kind of fucking doomsday cult? So you're prepared to just give up on the rest of humanity? - People? - No, we're not giving up.
We're starting over.
You're fucking delusional.
Those who live in glass houses, Reverend.
You need to take a look around and ask yourselves, is hitting the reset button really such a bad idea? MEGAN (SCOFFS): Oh my God.
BLAKE (MUFFLED): Hey.
(SING-SONGY) Kyle.
Kyle! Hey! Goddamn, Kyle.
You look like dog shit, and I'm not talking about that bump you got on your noggin.
You actually live here, in this crusty, old shit box! Nice touch, huh? The old "turn the tables" thing.
(CHUCKLES) What are you doing here, Blake? (CHUCKLES) I didn't think you were gonna remember me.
You need to let me go.
Well, I'm not locked up anymore, Outcast, so I don't need to do anything I don't want to do! I can eat when I want, sleep when I want.
I shit when I want.
(EXHALES) (MOANS) - (WHIMPERS) - Come here.
Fuck when I want.
Ooh! Hey, hey! Well, that'll be a neat trick.
Huh? Even for you! Use the Force.
(BLAKE MAKING EERIE NOISES) (LAUGHING) Just tell me what you want.
What I want? I had a dream.
A vision, actually.
I have seen the future.
My near future, and it is fucked up because of you! I know.
You know? You're right, Blake.
You're fucked! Your future is set and there's nothing you can do to save it but I can.
Blake, you just let me go.
Sure, sure.
How you gonna stop the Merge, hmm? What is your plan, hmm? What the plan? Tell me the plan.
When are you fucking gonna do it? Oh, honey bear, you don't wanna see this.
Get me a beer.
We're gonna be here a little while.
(GRUNTING) (COUGHING) GILES: Just hang in there, baby.
(WATER TRICKLING) This scarf? Too tight? It was a birthday gift from Kat Ogden.
She always said I was an autumn, and that the - the warm colors made me look younger.
- You look any younger, they'll be hauling my cradle-robbing ass off to jail.
Kat was always good to me, Byron.
Maybe that's why this is happening to me.
It's punishment for that.
It's It's for Kat, and it's for - Evelyn Bailey.
- Nothing is happening to you, and if it is, Kyle gonna be here shortly to take it out.
Now you just drink.
Maybe he shouldn't.
What? If I just let it take me, then maybe I won't care what I did, Byron.
- Don't you ever say that again.
- It won't matter.
Don't you ever say that again.
- Honey, maybe this is the only way I can live with this.
- No, no.
Nothing's gonna harm you.
How about we order a pizza? Pepperoni, please.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Okay.
Whatever you want.
- I'm gonna take a shower.
- Okay.
(WATER RUNNING) (KNOCKING) WOMAN: Housekeeping.
We're fine, thank you.
WOMAN: Y'all want some fresh towels? (WATER CONTINUES RUNNING) (GROANS) (PANTING) (MOANS, PANTS) So blind.
So fucking blind.
(GRUNTING) Daddy's always right.
Daddy's always right.
What, what? What are you looking for? What's going on? Blake? What are you looking for? - Don't distract me! - (GASPS) (BOTTLES CLATTER) (CHUCKLES) Hey, hey.
(WHIMPERING) KYLE: You know if he comes back in that room, he's killing us both, you know that.
Please.
They are our legacy.
What makes us immortal.
Never had a family, but I always thought I wanted kids, but it didn't work out with the woman I thought was the one.
(CHUCKLING MANIACALLY) (GROANS) It's the story of my life! Bad decision after bad decision after bad decision, and now it turns out that I've been following the wrong beacon.
BLAKE: She's the one who's been dancing in my head.
- No.
- Taunting me with her light.
Your daughter is the light.
Blake, you're wrong.
Believe me.
BLAKE: What's her name? Look.
She's not of any threat to you.
BLAKE: We've all seen the Merge.
The door flung open for all to enter.
Right, babe? But I'm the only one who's seen your little girl slamming the door in our faces.
That's what this is about.
You think you're the hero.
Right? You think you're the savior of all your kind.
Glad you see it my way.
The problem with that, Blake, is I'm not letting you within ten feet of my daughter.
And if you even try I swear to God, I will tear you apart with my bare hands.
Sounds like fun.
- (GRUNTS) - Get the keys! (GRUNTS) (YELPS) (GRUNTS, YELPS) (CRYING) (COUGHS, GASPS) (GRUNTS) (SHOUTS) (YELLS IN PAIN) (GRUNTING, GROANING) - (SIZZLING) - (SCREAMS) (BLAKE YELLING) (GLASS SHATTERS) (KYLE GROANING) Shit.
- (CLATTERING) - (DOG BARKING NEARBY) Rose? Goddamn it.
(MUTTERS) Rose! (SHOUTS) Rose! ROSE: Fever broke.
Jesus, Rosie! Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
I just had to pee from all the Gatorade you had me drinking.
- That's all.
- Let me look at you.
I'm okay, Byron.
(LAUGHING) I told you everything was gonna be fine! - Yes, you did.
- Yeah! - That's what I do.
- The power of positive thinking.
- You know I'm the man.
- Yes.
You are my man.
(CHUCKLING) I guess I'm just gonna have to live with myself a little big longer, huh? Stop it.
There is nothing to be forgiven.
Woman this is war.
And that means that we get a pass for some of the things that we've had to do.
- Hey, huh? Huh? - (SIGHS) I'll bet you're starving.
I am gonna go into that kitchen and make you a plate.
Then we'll sit out back.
- I think both of us could use some fresh air.
- Okay.
Come here, woman, knock me a kiss.
Whoo! (SIGHS) (SIGHS) HOLLY: I didn't get to say goodbyes yet.
MEGAN: I know.
We'll come back and bring everyone cupcakes, okay? Right now, we gotta go.
- HOLLY: Where? - MEGAN: Just get in, please.
Get in, sweetie.
Megan.
Megan, wait.
These people are all a bunch of lunatics waiting for the world to end.
There is nothing you could say that would make me stay.
I don't want you stay.
I want you to get as far away as you can from here.
Lunatics or not, they're right about one thing.
You're gonna survive this.
Now get some place safe.
What about everybody else? Well, we'll just go all in.
Keep on fighting as long as we can.
(SIGHS) No matter what comes next, I want you to know, I'll always appreciate everything you've done for me.
Good luck.
Take care of yourself.
(CAR STARTS) (SNIFFLES) Hey.
(CHUCKLES) Evening, garçon.
(COUGHS) What's on the menu tonight? This this is truly undignified.
Do you want to eat or not? Well, I do, yeah.
You can't keep putting something in one end, without it coming out the other.
So, shit your pants.
I don't care.
You know, they say you start your life as an infant and end it the same way.
Eating pabulum and crapping in your drawers.
(COUGHS) Oh, life at the Ritz.
You never seen anyone like me before, have you? Well, you don't look like much to me.
Exactly.
Two arms, two legs.
No horns.
Nothing special.
But you're special though, aren't you? You're inoculated.
You'll survive the Merge all shiny and pristine, while everyone else gets swept away.
Problem is there's more than one way to squash a bug.
GILES: Hey, Rose? (CHUCKLES) My darling! I got to say, I outdid myself! Oh, yeah! Madame! Breakfast as dinner! As I promised.
Ro Rose? (WEEPING) Rosie.
No.
You I got you.
I got you.
I got you.
Come on, baby.
Oh, what did you do? Breathe.
Breathe, damn it.
Come on, baby, you gonna breathe.
Breathe.
Come on, breathe.
I got you.
I love you so much.
I love you, baby.
Come on.
Come on, we gonna We gonna do this.
(GRUNTING) Breathe.
I am gonna save you.
(WEEPING) You didn't have to do this.
Rosie.
You didn't have to do it.
(KNOCKING, DOOR SQUEAKS) - Allison! The - (WATER RUNNING) Allison? Allison? Amber? Girls? (WATER CONTINUES RUNNING) Chief! Chief.
Rose.
(WHISPERS) Hey, Ro GILES: She hanged herself.
Did everything I could to try to bring her back, but I was just too late.
I'm sorry.
If I'd have been here It was just the flu, Kyle.
Too late.
Then why? She just couldn't live with the not knowing.
Maybe.
This time, it was a false alarm.
But what about tomorrow? The day after? I fucking hate what she done but I respect her choice to do it.
(GROANS) (PANTING) (GRUNTING, PANTING) (COUGHING) - (GUNSHOT ECHOES) - (GRUNTS) (GROANS) I'd stop right there if I were you.
PARK: Jesus Christ.
I sure hope you brought some Advil.
- Come here.
- Ow! Well, it looks like you made the most of your time off.
Me and the Outcast got into a slight disagreement.
Kyle Barnes was your unfinished business? That fucker? He's a lot tougher than he looks.
Get in the car.
We have work to do, and I'm running out of time.
Yeah, about that.
Being your lab rat doesn't sound like that good of an idea to me anymore.
We had a deal.
What if there was someone even purer than me? Someone who didn't travel to this world like the rest of us.
Because they didn't need to.
And why not? Because this is where they were created and they're just waiting to be born.
(SIDNEY COUGHING) (SIDNEY GROANING) (MUTTERS) Come here.
(GROANING, COUGHING) What is this? Where's Oscar? Oscar's dead.
Sidney killed him.
- Lock him back up.
- He's not your prisoner anymore.
Now, I'm taking him with me, but before I go, I'm giving each one of you one last chance to get your heads out of your asses and come with me.
(YELPS) (GROANING) Look at him! The big fat boogeyman's not so scary anymore, is he? They're vulnerable, and we can beat 'em! Nobody's going anywhere with you! You're not one of us! Then why did you invite me in? I needed a way to get to Kyle.
You were a means to an end.
Nothing more.
(SNICKERING) Well, she's right about one thing.
Your existence has been meaningless.
That said? I have appreciated your entertainment value.
(GRUNTS) I will not let you get into my head again.
No need to.
You're perfectly capable of making bad decisions all by yourself.
Just ask your wife and son.
(YELPS) My death (COUGHS) won't change a thing.
Maybe not.
At least it'll finally shut you up.
(GRUNTING) KYLE: Rev! Rev, no! - We don't need him anymore, Kyle.
- No! - Stop, stop! Stop it, let go! - We don't need him anymore.
- You got the power now! - Rev, get out of there! It's not just me! They're afraid of Amber! Rev, Rev Sidney, Sidney.
Tell me, what's so special about my daughter? You lose, Kyle.
(SCOFFS) No.
No! No! Sidney! (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) Simon.
(CONGREGATION MURMURING) Hello, son.
You're not welcome here anymore.
You need to leave.
KYLE: Rev.
Rev, hey! (MUTTERS) Oh, you gotta be kidding.
(BEEPING) Goddamn it.
I gotta run inside.
Stay here, and if anyone gets within ten feet of this car you lay on that horn, and I'll come running.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(CAR ALARM BEEPS) (DOOR CHIMING) There's something wrong with your pump.
Hello.
Can I get some gas, please? - Hey, what the hell is - PARK: Hello, Megan.
It's good to see you.
Stay away from me.
I have to apologize for what happened at the hospital, but the truth is I did save Kyle's life.
I also heard about that unfortunate incident with the midwife.
Now, I want you to know that if anything ever happened to you, or the baby, that would be a tragic loss for all of us.
What are you talking about? Megan, you have no idea how important that little life growing inside of you just might be, but if you'll allow me we can find out together.
MEGAN: Holly! Holly! - Holly! - HOLLY: Over here! It's okay, Mama.
Blake's my friend.
FLORENCE: Reverend Anderson.
Florence, I-I'm not here to cause trouble, I swear.
I just need somewhere safe to stay for the night.
I'll be gone in the morning, you have my word.
You don't understand.
Ever since the town meeting, we've been here day and night praying for a sign.
Something to give us hope and here you are.
It's a miracle.
(CONGREGATION MURMURING) You were right about the darkness in this town, in this world.
We were wrong to turn our back on you.
Show us the way.
Won't somebody tell me? Answer if you can Want somebody to tell me What is the soul of a man I'm going to ask the question Answer if you can If anybody here can tell me What is the soul of a man I've traveled in different countries I've traveled in foreign lands I found nobody to tell me What about the soul of a man
