Chosen (2013) s03e03 Episode Script
The Hatchet
____ Where are we going? To get you out of this.
Both of us.
Hey, you okay? I'm so sorry.
I didn't have a choice.
It was always Max.
He made me your handler.
- I can't be in the game.
- You do what I tell you to do.
If you do it, we don't dissolve your company.
I was wondering if maybe I could see Trevor tonight.
You are no good to her if you don't let me help you.
Mom! We just need to get home, lock down and get the upper hand.
Chosen - S03E03 The Hatchet Mom! Get down! Keep your head down! Come on, come on! Here he comes! Down! No! Oh, God Mom, what are we gonna do? Damn it.
Why don't you get in bed, huh? Here.
It's okay.
- What's his name? - Mr.
Pup.
What kind of dog is he? Hey, you know what? Let me check something.
Here we go.
Maybe Mr.
Pup would like to have a new friend while you take a nap.
This, is Mr.
Hickory.
He's so cute.
You think you can close your eyes for a little bit? No? Why not? I have bad dreams.
Yeah.
Me too.
You just keep fucking me over and fixing me up, don't you? What's your son's name? Aiden.
His name was Aiden.
I'm sorry.
It's him.
Hello? You still with him? He's right here.
Tell him I want to help.
He said he wants to help.
Hey, bud.
It's Jacob.
- Hey, Jake, man.
- Where are you? Look, I'm so sorry about Cain.
You said that everything would be fine.
You let the girl live, man I, uh, there are rules, you know? And you just assumed that I could go through with that? - Jake - That I could do that? Look, man, you have to listen to me now.
The situation has changed.
I just texted you something.
What's that? It's real.
Fucking watchers, man.
They're trying to screw me over.
Good.
I hope you lose.
Look, I can get us out of this.
All of us.
- You are so full of shit.
- Fine.
Don't believe me.
Go on, keep playing.
See how that works out.
Oh, buddy, buddy, buddy.
I'm done playing.
There's only one person that I'm hunting.
And that's you, old friend.
They can keep sending me boxes and I'm gonna keep letting them expire.
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose.
You sure about that? Look, there's this thing, the black box.
Have you heard of it? Tell me.
No, they'll listen to this.
We have to meet somewhere.
Somewhere public.
Yeah, wherever you want.
You remember where we used to brainstorm? Yeah, I remember.
Five o'clock.
Mom! Let me think.
Stay down.
Mom, do something! Alex, open your door.
Meg - Get the rifle! - Wait, what? Reach in the trunk and get the damn rifle! What? No! I can't! I can't do it! I'm sorry! Get down.
Get in the front seat, Megan.
You're gonna make a run for it.
- What? - Just trust me.
When I say go, head in that side door.
I can't do this, Mom.
I can't! Yes, you can, Megan.
Oh, God.
Okay, I want you guys to head straight to the panic room.
Lock yourselves in.
Don't wait for me.
Do you remember the code? - 16893.
- Yes.
- What about you? - I'll be right there.
Alex, get ready to run! Oh, God! Go! Now! Megan! Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Wait! Meg, come on! Go! Come on! Run! Go, go, go! I-I don't remember what it is.
Move! Move! Shit! - Come on! - Wait, we gotta wait for Mom! She'll make it, okay? We just have to wait, like she said.
So what? We're just going to leave her out there? Just hang on.
Where is she? Where is she? Oh, my God.
Okay, here she is.
She's going to get armor.
She's okay, okay? Back door open.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Oh, no.
- Oh, my God.
- Where is she? Oh, my God.
How many are there? If you kill him, he's not worth anything to us.
I won't use it unless I have to.
That's far enough.
Drop the gun.
Ellie! Drop it.
What the fuck, Max? - What is this? - What are you doing? - Sorry.
- Max Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing? Max.
Jesus.
I see why you couldn't do this.
Harder than it looks.
Fuck.
Why are you doing this? I got a box.
With her in it.
Y-You don't have to.
No, I I gotta show them.
I gotta show them that I can do it.
No, no! Come on, we can get out of here, all right? All of us.
Together.
We can get out of this, right now.
I don't want out.
This isn't you, Max.
It's not you.
You remember We used to come up here in the summer.
We would drink shitty beer and talk about what we're gonna do with our lives.
Our kids would grow up together.
Don't do this.
If you do this, they'll put you away.
No.
I'm in the game now.
Just like you.
If I do this, the Fixers will come and they'll clean it up.
And I'll be the new favorite.
I'll be the one who killed a little girl that Jacob Orr couldn't.
Max Look at me.
Max.
You'll never be able to close your eyes again.
I promise you.
It will ruin you.
Run! Get her! Open your mouth.
Open your mouth! Don't you move! I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I can't I can't do this What are you doing? I'm calling her.
Shit! There's, like, no reception in here.
Megs, just calm down, okay? I can't calm down! How am I supposed to calm down? Meg, stop! Come on, come on, come on, come on! I can't do this Mom, there's one in the kitchen.
Coming around the edge, okay? To your left.
No, no, no.
Your right, to your right.
Five feet away.
Three Two Now! She's coming! Come on! No No! Goddamn it! Shit! Goddamn it! Goddamn, you had her right there! - She was coming right at you.
- Whatever.
No, not "whatever.
" Don't you turn your back on me.
You told me I couldn't kill her! Yeah, well, you could've wounded her.
And where the hell were you? So crazy.
It's like there's a whole family of them out there.
Yeah, well, there's a whole family of them in here too.
What? You think we can take them? That is so fucked, Mom.
Why can't we just stay in here? - Their clock is gonna run out.
- My clock will run out too.
So what? What? The Fixers can't get in here either.
Oh, so we'll just live in here forever.
Yeah.
Or is that too hard for you? Stop playing the game? Is it? Copy that.
We're bringing him in right now.
- Where are we going? - Take a wild guess.
You do know that I'm in the game, right? I'm Jacob Orr.
My target is Carl Sherman.
Yeah.
Look, it's not my first day.
I understand how this works.
- Look - Oh, this is funny! This is good! Oh, okay.
You turned it around so I feel like I did something wrong.
You guys You guys are good.
You guys are good.
Okay.
Yep.
I'll play along.
You're not on anything, are you? Yeah! I didn't want to do it! I didn't want to do it.
They made me do it.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
Hey.
Can I make my call now? Hello? Avery.
Jacob.
Where are you? Where'd they take you? I'm downtown.
In holding.
I don't think this is part of it.
Where are you? Where's Ellie? Ellie ran away.
Detectives showed up and they questioned everybody.
I looked for her but she was gone.
You need to get me out of here, now.
- How? - I don't know.
But if she's out there and they find her, they've got collateral on me again, and my box expires in 48 hours.
Both of us.
Hey, you okay? I'm so sorry.
