Two Sentence Horror Stories (2017) s03e08 Episode Script
Erased
KALA: It's like David versus Goliath.
We don't stand a chance.
Sanford Development is doing everything they can to stop us.
[EXHALES.]
It's so frustrating.
That was the smallest turnout we've had since we started protesting.
Are you surprised? Look.
KALA: It's sad.
More and more people are taking Sanford's offer and leaving town.
Alana? [MUFFLED DISTORTED SPEECH.]
Leilani.
Leilani! [CAR LOCKS.]
[CAR HONKS.]
OWEN: Good, you're both here.
Kala.
Leilani.
You bastards had the cops use mace on us today.
What do you want, Owen? The contract Sanford Development offered for both your homes expires at midnight tonight.
We said we're not taking it.
Which is why Sanford is sweetening the deal.
We don't want your bachi'ed money.
I'm going home.
Call you later, Lei.
She's right.
Your money's cursed.
Anything used to tear down a community has to be.
Leilani, I know you don't believe me but I respect what you're trying to do.
But all this is going to be high rises and multiplexes.
You can't stop it.
I can try.
You have until midnight to decide.
If I were you, I'd sign the deal.
For your family's sake.
[SIGHS.]
Hi guys.
What's this? Sanford's latest offer on the house.
Maile Flower.
What's wrong with Maile? Seriously, babe? Her time capsule? Ugh.
I forgot.
That's the fourth time in two months that you've chosen a protest over one of your daughter's school events.
What? No.
That's not true.
Her school concert.
The zoo trip.
[SIGHS.]
I'm just I'm trying to make this world a little better for her.
I know that.
But right now you have to make things right with your daughter.
[KNOCKS SOFTLY.]
Knock knock.
Maile Flower.
I'm sorry I wasn't here to help bury your capsule for class.
I know you wanted my necklace to put in the capsule.
Tomorrow we could unbury your capsule No, you can't dig it up yet.
The earth is protecting it.
What do you mean, "the earth is protecting it"? Aloha 'aina.
Daddy said that Hawaiians have to protect and care about the earth, and the earth will keep us safe.
I don't think that's exactly how aloha 'aina works, honey.
Yes, it is.
And now the earth is protecting me and Daddy, but you're not protected.
Oh.
Nothing is going to happen to Mommy, I promise.
Daddy was sad earlier.
He said he was worried about you.
Tomorrow we can ask 'aina to protect Mommy even if my necklace isn't buried, okay? - Okay.
- Okay.
- It's pretty, isn't it? - Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
It's a Ni'ihau shell necklace.
My grandmother gave it to me so that I would always remember my connection to the land and the islands.
That's why we named you Maile, after the flower.
Everyone's relationship with the 'aina is different.
Your mommy wants to protect the land, that's why I go to all these protests.
But Daddy said what's important is we always have aloha for the earth.
Well, you know what? Your daddy's right.
For once.
[GIGGLES.]
Everything okay with Maile? Oh, it took a minute, but after I promised her we'd get mani-pedis this weekend, she forgave me.
Here's your peace offering.
Maile said you were upset earlier about the protest.
She said you were worried about me.
I'm always worried about you.
I'm worried when Sanford Development got you fired and me blacklisted from every gallery in town.
Look, Koa, I But mostly I'm worried that you'll continue to fight Sanford like you have nothing left to lose.
We have to take this deal.
No! We still have a few hours left before the deadline.
Koa, my parents built This house with their own hands after your parents left the island.
They left because they were priced out of their own home.
It's happening again here in this very neighborhood.
Leilani, our savings are gone.
We are one bad step away from bankruptcy.
You're so wrapped up in your war that you can't see that you're taking your family down with you.
[SIGHS.]
I know this is hard.
Businesses like Sanford Development they've stolen land from our people before.
Our culture won't die if we lose this battle.
We'll survive to fight another day.
But right now, that won't happen until you start putting your family first.
Look, let's just talk about this tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow might be too late.
[SIGHS.]
[CLOCK TICKING.]
[DOOR CREAKING.]
Maile? Alana! [MUFFLED DISTORTED SPEECH.]
[ANGUISHED PAIN.]

LEILANI: Maile baby.
Are you hiding from me? Maile? Baby girl, now is not the time to play hide and seek.
If you're messing with me, you [SHOWER RUNNING.]
Koa? Honey? Did you take Maile to school early? Koa! Okay, this isn't funny! Koa? Maile? Are you guys messing with me? What the hell is going on?! Maile? Maile Flower? [SIGH OF RELIEF.]
OPERATOR: Sorry, your call cannot be Come on! OPERATOR: Sorry, your call cannot be [PANICKED BREATHING.]
What? MAILE: Mommy! Maile?! Maile, I'm here! What the hell are you doing in my house? Your house? I've lived here my whole life.
My family built this place.
Sophia.
Go down the street to Mrs.
Miller's house.
KENDRA: I don't know who you are and what you're doing here, but you can't just come into people's houses! LEILANI: My pictures.
What'd you do with my pictures? [DISTORTED MUFFLED SPEECH.]
What did you just say? Why are you in my house? What do you want from us? Oh, you think I don't know what this is.
The day after I let the Sanford deal expire, weird crap starts happening like a white family in my living room claiming this is their house? You're gas-lighting me.
All of this is Sanford Development.
Lady, I have no idea what you're talking about.
If you don't get out of my house right now, I'm calling the police! [CRASH.]
Tell me where my family is! You're a psychopath! Your family probably doesn't even exist! - Maile? - Where are you going? LEILANI: What is happening? [SOBS.]
[METAL CLATTERS.]
[PANICKED BREATHING.]
Get out of my daughter's room! [FIGHTING GRUNTS.]
[SCREAMING.]

You don't have to be scared of me.
I actually have a little daughter that is just your age.
Her name is Maile.
And she is Your fingers? Where did they go? KENDRA: Sophia? The cops are on their way.

Alana! [MUFFLED DISTORTED SPEECH.]
Take the deal! Save your family! I'm sorry, Kala.
KOA: I'm worried that you'll continue to fight Sanford like you have nothing left to lose.
Why didn't you sign? [SOBBING.]
Please work.
[GASPS.]
[KNOCKING.]
Police.

[GRUNTS.]

She said the earth protects.
Maile asked you to keep us safe.
Please.
Bring them back whole.
Give them a second chance.

[GASPS.]
[SCREAMING HYSTERICALLY.]
KOA: Leilani? [MUFFLED SCREAMING.]
KOA: Leilani! Maile wants to go to the park.
