Servant (2019) s04e09 Episode Script

[DOROTHY] My husband and
brother were in an accident.
[RECEPTIONIST] Could you please hold?
Please understand
the gravity of the situation.
I-I haven't been able
to speak with them.
I-I-I don't even know if they're okay.
Look outside, ma'am.
You're not the only person trying to
connect with a loved one right now.
You're going to have to wait.
They put me on hold.
[SIGHS]
Listen, I don't want to upset you,
but I need to know
what happened to them.
[LEANNE] Don't worry about it, Dorothy.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I'm sure they'll come home
to you in one piece.
[RECEPTIONIST] Mrs. Turner?
[STAMMERS] Yes, I'm here.
I'm ready for you now. Please
give me the patients' names.
Um, okay. Sean Turner and Julian Pearce.
I can patch you up there if you want.
Oh, yes. Yes, please. Thank you so much.
- [BREATHES SHAKILY]
- Please hold.
[SEAN] Hello?
[BREATHING DEEPLY] Sean. Oh, Sean.
Thank God. [INHALES DEEPLY]
Are you okay?
[SEAN] Dorothy, I'm okay. Listen,
Dorothy, I need to see you.
There's something we need to talk about.
Anyone hear us?
[DOROTHY BREATHING DEEPLY]
Well, I'm with Leanne.
Honey, what are we gonna do?
I can't leave the house.
[SEAN] Honey,
I don't think
I'll be discharged anytime soon.
The hospital's crowded.
How long do you think? [SNIFFS]
[STAMMERS] I don't know.
Days. Maybe a week.
[BREATHING SHAKILY, WHIMPERS]
Sean, I don't think that's gonna work.
Listen, Dorothy, let me
send you something.
Tobe can bring over a basket of food,
so you don't have to worry.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] I don't
need food. I need you home.
- I can't do that right now.
- No.
[SEAN] Let me do something for you.
Prosciutto, black truffles,
all your favorites.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] No, Sean.
[SEAN] I know, honey.
Listen, 8:00 a.m. Tobe will
stop by and bring the food.
Don't forget.
Trust me. Everything's gonna be okay.
- I love you.
- [EXHALES DEEPLY] Yeah.
[JERICHO CRIES]
[DOROTHY SHUSHING]
We're okay as long as
we're close together.
[JERICHO CRYING]
[DOROTHY] We can't let
her see that we're afraid.
We can pretend, okay?
- [PHONE LINE RINGING]
- [LINE CLICKS]
[DR. WODELL] Hello?
[LEANNE] Hi, Dr. Wodell.
It's Dorothy Turner calling again.
Oh, hi, Dorothy. [STAMMERS] Just a sec.
[SEAN] Dorothy?
[LEANNE] How are you feeling?
[SEAN] Leanne?
[LEANNE] Did Dr. Wodell tell you
how close the knife was to your artery?
It's a miracle you're still alive.
[SEAN] Dorothy's stronger
than both of us combined.
She'll fight you.
[LEANNE] Rest well, Sean.
After you heal, you're gonna have to
build yourself a whole new life.
That'll take some effort.
Dorothy?
I'll just stay here tonight.
The storm might scare Jericho.
I know that you're afraid without Sean.
[SIGHS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [JERICHO CRIES]
- We're all right.
[HEAVY BREATHING CONTINUES]
We're all right. Okay.
[JERICHO BABBLES]
[TV PLAYING]
I thought it made more sense to have
the sofa facing the television.
When did you do this?
Couldn't sleep. I was too excited.
I thought that maybe the three
of us could watch a movie.
Okay.
Only if you want to.
No, I want to.
Great.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
That'll be Tobe.
Could you get the door?
I think you should get it.
Tobe and I
I need to use the bathroom anyway.
- [SIGHS]
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
I'm coming.
[GRUNTS]
[DOROTHY] Yes. Thank you so much, Tobe.
Oh, we do miss them, but the doctors
say they're healing well.
Yes.
Okay, I will. I'll tell her.
Okay, thanks again. See you soon.
[BREATHES DEEPLY] Tobe says hello.
- [JERICHO COOS]
- Could you help me with that basket?
[DOOR CREAKS]
Mmm.
What should we watch?
I'm fine with anything.
Well, you pick.
You can set it up upstairs, and
Jericho and I'll be up in a moment.
Don't you think I know you by now?
You're trying to distract me
so you can leave.
Like you always do.
Look outside.
You really think Jericho and I
could get anywhere in my condition?
If I could've left, I would've.
We'll watch in here.
[LEANNE] Rainy days really
are the best movie days.
Should we watch something scary?
No, it was an accident.
I didn't mean to kill anybody.
Well my little pretty,
I can cause accidents too.
Aren't you forgetting the ruby slippers?
The slippers, yes! The slippers!
Leanne?
Yes?
[SIGHS] I'm really not feeling great.
They're gone!
[SIGHS] My back. My legs.
I think I should probably take a pill
and knock out for a bit.
[JERICHO COOS]
Would you mind watching
Jericho for a bit?
Like, give him a bath,
read him some books.
You sure you don't mind
giving him to me?
[CLICKS TONGUE] Of course not.
I know you love him.
- You have no power here.
- Begone, before somebody drops a house
[JERICHO GIGGLING]
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Why don't you go get the bath toys?
You can bathe him
in yours while I rest. Yeah?
Sure.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[WHISPERING] Jericho, Mommy just
has to go outside and talk to Daddy,
and then I'll come right
back for you. I promise.
I just have to talk to Daddy,
and then I'm gonna get us out of here.
[SWALLOWS] We'll never have to
see her again. [BREATHES DEEPLY]
You just be strong for a little while.
[HEAVY BREATHING CONTINUES]
I love you more than
I've ever loved anything.
Hey. You ready?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
We're We're gonna go have a bath.
[LEANNE] Ooh.
[GRUNTS] There you go.
There you go. [CHUCKLES]
[DOROTHY GROANS]
[SWALLOWS]
Rest well, Dorothy.
Say, "Bye, Mama". Mmm.
Bye. Bye.
- [JERICHO COOS]
- Mm-hmm.
[JERICHO BABBLES]
[WATER RUNNING]
[JERICHO BABBLES]
[LEANNE ON MONITOR]
Come here. Let me wash your hair.
Jeri, put your head up like this.
[GASPS] What's that?
[LEANNE CHUCKLES]
Come here. Come here. No.
[DOROTHY GRUNTS]
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [WALKER CREAKING]
[WATER STOPS RUNNING]
[WATER RUNNING]
[JERICHO COOING]
[LEANNE CHATTERS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[LEANNE MURMURS] What are you doing?
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY, GRUNTING]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[FOOTSTEPS]
- [PANTING]
- [LEANNE] What? That one?
That one?
Oh, yeah. That one. You want that.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]
[JERICHO CRYING]
[PANTING]
[KNOCKS] Hey.
- [PANTING] Hi. Hi.
- Dorothy.
- [GRUNTS] God.
- Hey.
Oh, my God. [BREATHES HEAVILY]
- [GROANS]
- Oh, my God. I'm sorry. Oh, God. [GASPS]
What happened to you both?
Leanne do this to you?
Kind of. [SIGHS] She's fucking crazy.
That's what I've been
trying to tell you, Juju.
- Yeah.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY] I missed you.
I didn't think I was gonna make it.
That basket.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] What if Leanne
had gotten to it before I did?
Tobe said she's, um,
been avoiding him recently,
so I figured if she heard his name,
she'd let you go to the door alone.
He means something to her.
[JERICHO CRYING]
[CRYING CONTINUES]
[JULIAN] Dottie.
Sean we need to do this.
I know.
What?
Dottie. [BREATHING SHAKILY]
There's something
we need to talk to you about.
Maybe we should have this
conversation someplace else.
Let us take you to Frank's.
Kidding? I'm not leaving.
I know what I'm asking of you.
But you gotta trust me on this one.
Trust you? Jericho's in there with her.
[SIGHS]
Dottie. [SIGHS]
Enough! If you ask me one more time,
I'm getting out of this car.
Okay. Okay. [SIGHS]
Julian, we're just gonna have to
have this conversation here.
[LEANNE HUMMING]
[HUMMING CONTINUES]
Dorothy, how much do you
remember about last August?
August?
[STAMMERS] Who told you that?
What do you remember?
Where does your memory stop?
Sean, how could you possibly know
I've been struggling
with this for weeks.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
- [SEAN] I wasn't ready then
- [SIGHS]
but I-I'm ready now.
Dorothy, I think I can help you.
What do you remember?
Nothing.
I don't remember anything.
I took a guest spot on Gourmet
Gauntlet in Los Angeles.
That's the reason they asked me
to host this season.
Okay.
[SEAN] I tried to talk about this
in the bedroom. Remember that?
I don't know. What is this?
What are we even talking about?
I should never have done the job.
I think I knew that even then.
[CLICKS TONGUE] I was just so tired.
No one tells you
how hard it is to be a dad.
And I'm not a natural parent.
Not like you are.
I just wanted to get away,
and I thought I should be allowed
to get away, if only for a little.
And I guess I've always been a coward.
Sean, if you're gonna tell me you
slept with some woman
while you were in California,
you can just skip it,
and we can talk about this
when our family is safe.
- [CRYING]
- Julian, what? What is it?
Y-You called me a couple days in.
You told me you were struggling.
I could hear it in your voice.
Why would I say that?
I wasn't struggling.
You wouldn't remember.
I knew you needed me.
B-But I still decided not to come.
Because I wanted to score
some drugs, I decided
I'm so sorry I didn't come.
You both sound crazy.
[CHUCKLING] I didn't call you.
- [SNIFFLES]
- [CHUCKLES] What?
[DOROTHY ON PHONE]
Hey, Juju. It's Dottie.
Um, I really wouldn't call
if it wasn't important,
but, um [CRYING] I'm
just having a really hard time.
Um [SOBS] Jericho
is just crying and crying,
and I have tried everything.
And, uh [INHALES SHARPLY]
Um, I'm just really
overwhelmed right now.
[SNIFFLES]
So, maybe you could just come by, Juju,
for, like, even a couple hours.
Um, okay. Just call me back, okay?
[INHALES SHARPLY] Bye.
I don't [STAMMERS] know
what's happening.
After it happened, we thought
that Natalie could help.
She said she knew of a new therapy
that had helped people.
You gotta understand, Dorothy,
we didn't know how
to get through to you.
I mean, you were there, but
you were gone, you know?
And you're the one who always
makes the hard decisions.
[DOROTHY] What's going on?
It doesn't make sense.
Can someone tell me something
that just makes sense, please?
I'm trying to. There was a doll.
And it really worked for you.
Seemed to help. You thought it was him.
Just like that, we had Dorothy back.
And I don't know how long
I thought it would last,
but I'd have let it gone on forever
if it meant I could keep you with me.
A doll?
I thought a doll was who?
Sean?
[SEAN] Dorothy, I know
you're gonna blame yourself.
It's who you are. But you can't do that.
We were both so overwhelmed,
and I had left you here
to deal with it all alone.
It was just an accident.
It was a freak accident.
You Remember how hot
it was that summer?
The roads were starting to stick.
You took him to the grocery store.
Your hands were full.
[JULIAN SOBS]
- What?
- [SEAN] I know you want to shut it away,
but you have to remember now, Dorothy.
Honey, it was just a mistake.
[JULIAN] Dottie, try and remember.
[POLICE OFFICER] Mrs. Turner,
are you all right?
Mrs. Turner, I'm a police officer.
Would it be all right
if I asked about your son?
It's Jericho, right?
What happened?
Do you remember?
[BREATHING DEEPLY] I'm so sorry, ma'am.
Dorothy.
Sweetie, please talk to me.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Dorothy, come back.
[SEAN] Dorothy, please come back.
[SCREAMS]
- [GRUNTS] Julian! Julian!
- Dorothy, stop! [GRUNTS]
[DOROTHY SHOUTING]
- Dorothy, please, I love you. Stop. Stop!
- [GRUNTING]
- Dorothy! Jesus! Dorothy!
- [STRAINING, GRUNTING]
Dorot [GROANS]
- [GROANS]
- Jesus! Dorothy!
[DOROTHY] No! No! [CRIES] No!
Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, no! [SCREAMING]
[JULIAN AND SEAN GRUNTING, SIGHING]
Okay. We're here, Dottie. We're home.
[SEAN SHOUTING] Leanne, come down here!
We told her everything. It's over!
[BREATHING HEAVILY] Leanne!
[LEANNE] I'm right here.
You don't need to shout.
[JULIAN] She knows
the truth, Leanne. It's over.
[LEANNE] Jericho missed
you today, Dorothy.
[JULIAN] Sean, look. [BREATHING HEAVILY]
[LEANNE] Don't you wanna hold your son?
[JULIAN] It's a doll.
- [SEAN] Is that supposed to be funny?
- [LEANNE] Nothing's funny, Sean.
[JULIAN] Just stop with
your fucking games.
Okay? This is done.
We know about your tunnels
and how you've been switching the baby
and the doll to fuck with us.
You have nothing over us anymore.
No one believes you. [BREATHES HEAVILY]
[LEANNE] I wouldn't be
so sure about that.
Dorothy?
I can't imagine how hard
this must be for you.
And I am so sorry that it
had to happen this way.
But now, you know everything.
And you know what I've done for you.
You need to get the hell out
of this house, Leanne.
You are mentally unstable, and
you need to leave us alone now.
[LEANNE] When I found out
that it was your fault that he died
[SEAN SHOUTING] Now, Leanne!
[LEANNE] I was so angry at you.
[DOROTHY BREATHING HEAVILY]
Then I realized that
that was my purpose.
My purpose was to help you
fix this mistake.
[JULIAN] Oh, she's a fucking
psychopath, Dorothy.
Just ignore her.
[LEANNE] I can do extraordinary
things, Dorothy.
Things that are hard
to believe sometimes.
But the most extraordinary thing
that I have ever done
in my life was for you.
I brought your son back to life.
Don't listen to her.
Honey, it was never Jericho.
It was someone else's child.
[LEANNE] This doll is here,
because Sean and Julian have
a hard time believing in things.
I needed to punish them.
So, I've sent Jericho back to the place
that he'll be without me.
[JULIAN] We found a family, Dorothy,
looking for their baby just
a couple of states away.
[SEAN] That's right, she stole that
baby from another mom, honey.
Just to try and make us
think she was special.
[JULIAN] She must've hidden
him somewhere now.
She's manipulating you
like she did to all of us.
They don't understand. They couldn't.
But you can.
- A mother always knows her child.
- [INHALES SHARPLY]
[SEAN] It was never Jericho,
honey. Please listen to me.
There are things that
just can't be explained.
Like the bond between
a mother and a child.
Like life and death.
Like me.
But you know the truth,
Dorothy, don't you?
Because you held him,
and you felt his heartbeat.
- [WHIMPERS, BREATHING HEAVILY]
- And you know that that was Jericho.
You know that that was
your son, Dorothy. You know.
Dorothy, you believe me, don't you?
[JULIAN] She knows you're vulnerable,
and she's taking advantage.
Don't listen to her. [BREATHES HEAVILY]
Dorothy, I can bring him back for good.
[JULIAN] Just shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up!
We'll never have to do this again.
It'll just be you and me and him.
[SEAN] Stay away from her.
You once told me that you
would do anything for Jericho.
- [WHIMPERS]
- Then here's your chance.
All you have to do is say "yes".
[JULIAN WHISPERING] Don't do it.
Just say "yes", and
everything will be okay.
I will give you everything
that you want.
[SEAN] Please, Dorothy.
Just say "yes".
Yes.
