Servant (2019) s04e08 Episode Script

[WALKER] Well, it's still unclear
how many Philly residents
have lost power,
but our 8 News mobile team
on the scene in Kensington,
where we have yet another location.
[CINDY] As you know, Walker,
we have a Category 2 storm
nearing the greater Philadelphia area,
part of an increasingly bizarre
pattern of seasonal weather.
Out here in Center City,
it's already quite gusty.
[WALKER] Should we be
worried about flooding?
We do have a flash flood
warning in effect.
Lots of stalled cars.
And it looks like the storm drains
are just barely keeping up.
Jeff, can you show the folks at home?
- [CHITTERING]
- [CINDY] What is that strange noise?
[SCREAMS]
[SCREAMING]
Oh, wow. Uh, you've
heard that expression,
"like rats climbing the mast", maybe?
That's what that looked like.
Uh, speaking of rats,
Center for Disease
[CLICKS OFF]
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
All air travel at Philadelphia
International Airport
has been suspended at this time,
and road closings may not be far behind.
Tonight's storm coincides
with a lunar eclipse,
so it really is black
as night out there.
Now, have you ever wondered
what happens to animals?
[LEANNE] What are you reading?
- Oh, just [INHALES DEEPLY]
- [TV CLICKS OFF]
You know me. [SIGHS]
I like to read weird stuff.
Psychiatric disorders?
Are you afraid you're losing your mind?
[JULIAN BREATHES SHAKILY]
- Hang on. One. Two. Three.
- [THUNDERCLAP]
Three seconds.
That means the storm's epicenter
is three miles away.
Does it scare you?
Of course not.
You're scared of something.
I mean, maybe on a
[GROANS] on a macro level,
I'm a little scared of
extreme weather events.
But every storm is
the storm of the century.
That's how they keep us watching.
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
I wouldn't wait up for me tonight.
I had a shitload of
coffee this afternoon.
Okay.
[WEATHERCASTER] flee
to the west coast.
Flash flood alerts from
Missouri to Arkansas,
continuing east towards Pennsylvania.
As far as Philly is concerned,
this really could be
the storm of the century.
Motorists are advised to avoid
the Schuylkill Expressway.
As we continue to follow the storm
coming up from the south,
- you can see the warm front lifting
- [SEAN] Would you shut that off?
- [WEATHERCASTER] As it continues
- [TV CLICKS OFF]
- [JERICHO CRYING]
- Ah, shit. He woke up.
Sometimes if you don't make eye
contact, he'll go back to sleep.
[WHISPERING] Why'd you
bring the crib in?
[CRYING STOPS]
[WHISPERING] He's safe in here.
I mean, if the storm wakes him up,
he'll feel better if he's with us.
- Wait. Did you check all the windows?
- Of course.
And did you put the big towel
under the back door?
- Because that weather stripping leaks.
- I did the big towel.
[SIGHS]
I don't even want to think
about the basement.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
[SLURPS]
[SWALLOWS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY] We can't
stay in the park anymore.
What do you want us to do?
If the storm doesn't want you
here, then you should go.
We can't leave you here
all alone. It's not safe.
Do you trust me?
You're my whole heart.
Then go.
Take the others.
And be my voice in the world.
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
[PEOPLE SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
[SEAN WHISPERING] Sorry I'm late.
I had to wait for Dorothy
to fall asleep.
[JULIAN] You sure he can
get in the other end?
He said we just have
to get her in there.
And he's just gonna talk to her, right?
Take her somewhere and deprogram her?
Absolutely. It'll be good for her.
You're gonna have to bring
her though. She trusts you.
Oh, no way. She trusts you
way more than she trusts me.
You're like a father figure.
But she knows I've been
trying to get rid of her.
[STAMMERS] Also, how am I gonna say,
"Hey, I wanna see you in
the basement at 2:00 a.m.?"
Besides, if you do it,
you can make it a sex thing.
Oh, wow.
Just when I thought
you couldn't make this
any more disgusting
or morally abhorrent.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
We should grab her and drag her down
four goddamn flights of stairs, Julian.
She's a fucked-up crazy person
who's been stalking
your sister half her life.
Are you with me on this or not?
- I'll get her down, okay? [SIGHS]
- Good.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [BANGING]
[GASPS, BREATHING HEAVILY]
Sean?
Sean?
[GROANS]
Oh, goddamn it.
[BANGING CONTINUES]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SIGHS]
- [SHOUTS, GROANS]
- [WINDOW SLAMS]
[GROANING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
Can you get something
to clean up this mess
so it doesn't destroy the floor?
[HEAVY BREATHING CONTINUES]
[SIGHS] Oh, Leanne.
I never met anyone like you.
[SIGHS] Sometimes you
remind me of myself.
Make sure you get under that lamp.
You and I, we're both tenacious.
Never give up.
[WHISPERING] That's
not always a good thing.
You keep acting like there's
something wrong with me.
Like you want to get rid of me.
All I ever try and do is make you happy.
It's not your job to make
me happy. It never was.
Why is it so impossible
for you to like me?
Oh, Leanne.
The world is full of people out there.
Why does it have to be me?
Even Sean and Julian
don't like me anymore.
Maybe you could explain to them
that I'm not a monster.
- Do you need help with your brace?
- [SIGHS] No.
No, it's okay. I can
take it off for you
No, it's fine. I don't
even need it anymore.
- But the doctor said
- Oh, my God, Leanne, please.
Let me try and handle
this one thing on my own.
Maybe we can keep talking.
Perhaps I can help you see
things a different way.
[SIGHS]

[LAUGHS]
Is that all you've got? [LAUGHS]
[LEANNE LAUGHING]
What the fuck are you doing? Get down!
[LAUGHING] It's all for me,
Julian. [CHUCKLES]
Don't you get it?
The storm. All of it. It's for me!
And he thinks that he can
beat me, but he can't.
'Cause I've won.
Come downstairs. I wanna
show you something.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
No.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
- [GASPS]
- Sean!
- Julian! [SCREAMS]
- [JULIAN GRUNTS]
- [JULIAN STRAINS]
- [LEANNE CRYING]
- [BOTH GRUNTING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [LEANNE, MUFFLED] Sean!
[MUFFLED] Please, let me go.
[SEAN GRUNTS, GASPS]
[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]
[MUFFLED MURMURING]
[GRUNTING]
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
- Can't see anything.
- Just keep going.
[LEANNE BREATHING SHAKILY]
Hello, Leanne.
[GRUNTING, PANTING]
Who are they?
[LEANNE STRUGGLING]
You two should go now.
Why is there a fire?
Doesn't matter. Come on.
- [LEANNE WHIMPERS]
- [SEAN] Come on. It's done.
[LEANNE WHIMPERS]
[JERICHO CRIES]

[GROANS]
- [PANTING]
- [CRYING CONTINUES]
[GROANING]
[GROANS, PANTING]
[CRYING CONTINUES]
I'm coming, baby. [INHALES SHARPLY]
- [STRAINING] I'm coming, sweetie.
- [JERICHO WAILING]
[SHUSHING]
[SHUSHING]
[GROANS]
Okay, baby. [SHUSHES] It's okay.
Okay. Mama's here. [PANTING]
[RETCHES, COUGHS, SPITS]
We did it. It's over. She's gone.
We don't need you to be uncomfortable.
I only need you to listen.
Very well.
Why should we pretend
these frail bits of rope
can contain you?
We both know exactly what you are.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
If I've ever shown you any kindness,
I beg you to remember that.
When you first came to this house,
it was an act of love,
but that love was a selfish love.
It has brought death and
destruction down upon us all.
Anything bad that happens in the world
is because of him. Not me.
You misunderstand him.
[STAMMERS] He does not see you or me.
H-His perfect order is too great
for us to comprehend.
We can only serve it.
You've been telling me that
nonsense my entire life.
I don't believe it anymore.
I will never serve him again. Ever.
Then you truly have fallen.
[LEANNE BREATHING SHAKILY]
Stop that.
I will weep until I have
no more strength to weep,
because the world is lost.
Don't be ridiculous.
It may not be the world that he wants,
but the sun will still rise every day.
No, it won't. The signs are clear.
Look around you.
You should not exist.
You are an open wound in the earth,
and now the whole world suffers.
The ones you love, Dorothy, this family,
you have trapped them in a living hell.
This deluge tonight is
only the beginning.
A world out of balance is a
world of endless suffering,
unless you choose to end it
and save us all.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
We have tried to offer
you the true death,
but none of us can kill you.
Your rage and your self-will
burn too bright.
Only one creature can do it.
- One creature is strong enough.
- [BREATHES SHAKILY]
[WHISPERS] You.
I can't.
I-I'll be right here to
help you, little flower.
First your eyes, then your limbs.
I-If you truly love the Turners,
give them the life they
were meant to have.
[SOBBING] Set them free.
And know that they will
always remember you.
[SOBS, BREATHES SHAKILY]
And best of all [CRIES] God
will forgive you all your sins
and your wickedness.
Who said I was wicked?
[CHOKING]
[GROANS]
- [CULT MEMBER WHIMPERS]
- Go.
- [CULT MEMBERS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
- [BANGING]
[CULT MEMBER 2] We're
still in here. Come quick!
- [CULT MEMBER SCREAMS] Look out!
- [CULT MEMBER 2 GROANS]
- [CULT MEMBER SCREAMS] Stop! [SCREAMS]
- [IMPACTS]
He's all yours.
- [RAIN PATTERING]
- [THUNDER RUMBLING]
[LEANNE HUMMING "HUSH, LITTLE BABY"]
[WHISPERING] Who's that?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
That wasn't part of the plan.
[DOORKNOB RATTLES]
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
Don't. Put it down.
You'll just make it worse.
She's just a deranged girl. We got this.
[WIND WHISTLING]
[THUNDERCLAP]
Did you hear that?
She said the storms
were all because of her.
That's bullshit. [BREATHING SHAKILY]
That's just wind.
[WIND HOWLS]
[SEAN SCREAMS]
[SEAN GROANING, GRUNTING]
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[GROANS]
[STAMMERS] Oh, fuck. [BREATHING SHAKILY]
[SEAN GRUNTS]
I'm so sorry for what we did to you.
Please. My phone is on the table.
I just need to call 911 for Sean.
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
[GRUNTING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY, GRUNTS]

[LEANNE HUMMING "HUSH, LITTLE BABY"]
No. Stay away from me!

- [GROANS]
- [SEAN] Get away from me!
Sean! [GROANS]
[SCREAMING, GROANS]
[DOROTHY] Sean!
[GASPS, SPUTTERING]
[DISPATCHER] 911. What's your emergency?
- I need two ambulances.

- [SEAN GRUNTS]
- There's been an accident.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] Leanne.
What's happened? Where's Sean?
- Shh.
- [SIREN APPROACHING]
[LEANNE] You should
make sure Jericho's okay.
[SIREN WAILING]
[RADIO CHATTER]
[PARAMEDIC] Nanny said
it was an accident.
[RADIO CHATTER CONTINUES]
[SEAN GROANS]
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[WHISPERING] I'm never gonna
let you back in this house.
[MUMBLING SOFTLY]
[GROANS]
[GROANING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
What did you do?
I didn't do anything, Mrs. Turner.
It was just an accident.
You know how accidents can happen.
It's just you and me now.
