The Dead Zone s06e12 Episode Script

Previously on The Dead Zone Did you have a vision about something bad happening? No, no.
It was just a feeling.
When you get them, you come to me.
Leo Vitali.
I'm looking for Walt.
Mr.
Vitali, Walt Bannerman died in the line of duty several months ago.
Sure makes me feel terrible for coming here to collect a debt.
Walt owns a cabin on a three-acre parcel of land about three hours north of here.
What? Do you have any idea why Walt would keep something like this from you? You knew Walt was going to die that day.
And when I asked you if you'd seen anything, you lied to me? I don't think that there's a future here after all.
It's been almost a month since I decided to move out of Johnny's house.
You'll take that step forward when you're ready.
Your friend Walt, he's sitting right next to you.
- What does he want? - I don't know.
He's holding an envelope, and he looks worried.
Whatever it was, it looked really important.
I guess I know where I'm going after all.
Back home.
Johnny, you saved my life.
Now go save yours.
Johnny.
When did you get back? Just now.
So were you gonna tell me, or just let me come home to an empty house? If I told you, you just would have tried to talk me out of it.
Yeah, you're right.
Sarah, don't don't go.
Look, I know I should have told you about Walt in the vision that I had.
- Oh, Johnny.
- Sarah, please! Look, I can't make this up to you, but Walt was investigating something when he died.
- If I could figure out what it was - then what? Will it bring him back? Will it change the fact that you lied to me? Just let it go.
Maybe we'll understand why I couldn't save him.
You have to move on.
Johnny we need to move on.
Can I help you, Mr.
Smith? Hey, how's it goin', Jake? Great.
I'm going to the Pats-Charger game next week.
Oh, that sounds cool.
Hey, have you seen sheriff Turner around? Nah, she's taking a personal day.
And you're in charge, huh? You must be impressing the hell out of her.
No, no.
I'm, uh, I'm not in charge.
I'm not ready for that responsibility.
You know, even for a sunday.
Jake, have you been helping her with the Walt Bannerman investigation? No, she's been tackling that one solo.
Oh, of course.
You don't happen to remember what Walt was investigating when he died, do you? No, I can't say that I do.
Uh, you know, you, uh, you probably shouldn't be in here.
No, you're right.
It's very responsible of you.
You're on the job, Jake.
Sheriff Turner, did you did you see who did this? Abraham Lincoln.
No, sheriff, no! Listen, Jake, if you see sheriff Turner, tell her I really need to talk to her.
Is it a matter of life and death? Yeah, you could say that.
Sheriff? Turner, you here? Anna? You're gonna be a sheriff.
I'll be in Maine.
Hey.
You've been through a lot since your brother died.
Look, this is a chance for you to get away.
Okay? Get some perspective.
Anna if you're worried about what you're leaving behind, you know you can always come back, right? Right? So you think I should take the job? Yeah, I think you should take the job.
Can I help you? Oh, I'm sorry.
The door was open.
I'm John Smith.
I'm a friend of Anna's.
John Smith.
The psychic? Yeah.
Yeah? Yeah, Anna's told me all about you.
I'm Doug O'Connell.
I just came up from New York to surprise her.
So you're the reason for her personal day, huh? Is she around? Uh, actually, I haven't seen her yet.
I figured she's at work.
Oh.
I wonder what she's doing on this personal day.
Your guess is better than mine.
I don't know.
Anna's not one to talk to me about her personal life.
You know? - She never told me about you.
- Hmm.
Then again, she never told me that she played softball either.
Hello! Anybody here? Can I help you, miss? Uh, I'm looking for Leo Vitali.
- I haven't seen him.
- Hmm.
A friend of mine in somerset county raves about this job he did for him.
Please don't touch that.
Sorry.
Uh, do you know where I could find him? Nope.
Thanks.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Did you did you just have a vision? Yeah, I think I know where Anna is.
You wanna join me, or Uh, no, no.
That's okay.
I figured I should probably take her some flowers or something before I see her.
Okay.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.
Hey.
You need any help? I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Come here.
- Thanks.
- For what? Well I know you're nervous, going to a new school, making new friends- It'll be fine.
Besides, we'll be living near a lake.
You could get me a jet-ski for my birthday.
A jet-ski? Really? Well, unless you'd rather get me a snowmobile for christmas.
Well, we're gonna have to see about that.
Okay, I'm almost done in here.
Anything else you need me to do? Nope.
Not a thing.
Excuse me, I'm supposed to meet Leo with a friend of mine.
She's brunette, about 5'5".
Do you know where she went? I already told your friend what I'm about to tell you.
Leo ain't here.
Oh, I missed her? Did she say where she was going? You and your friend might want to look into cell phones.
If you'll excuse me, I've got a job site to run.
Sheriff Turner? Did you did you see who did this? Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln shot you, and Johnny Smith, and this other guy? All right, just put there the rest of it.
I'm sorry to bother you.
And yet you're still here.
I can't leave until I know where Leo Vitali is.
He really told you to meet him here? Yeah.
See, the reason I don't believe you is that he doesn't work here anymore.
What, you fired him? He quit.
At least I think he did.
He didn't bother telling me though.
He just stopped showing up last week.
You sound more angry than concerned.
Look, I was worried about him at first.
So I went to his house.
He'd cleared out.
Then I hear some of the guys saying that he'd taken some outside jobs.
Now I got my crew working on a sunday to make up for the time we lost.
I'm losing money on this gig, so yeah, I'm angry.
Now, you got any more questions, or can I get back to work here? Nah, I'm good.
I'm sure you know your way out.
Hey, has the sheriff checked in? Not yet, Mr.
Smith.
But she sure seems popular today.
She sure does.
- Hey, Johnny.
- Hey.
Any luck? - No, what about you? - Nah.
I thought she might be here.
She works too hard to ever really take a whole day off.
Yeah, I had the same idea.
I guess it wasn't such a good one.
I suppose I'll just head back to her place, huh? Find something to do until she comes home.
I'm sure the grout could use a scrubbing, right? I got 'em.
I hate it there.
Yeah, what about all the fresh air? If I get hungry at 10:00, I can never order in chinese.
What's really bothering you? This investigation into the old sheriff.
There's a lot of evidence, but it's not really adding up to anything.
And he was really respected, so the longer it goes on, the more the locals hate me.
You know, maybe I should quit.
Let someone else handle it.
Someone who likes fresh air, but hates chinese food.
Anna.
I know you.
If you leave in the middle of an investigation, you'll never forgive yourself.
You're probably right.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, no problem.
Guess I'll see you around.
Yeah.
J.
J.
? What are you doing? We can't leave.
Honey, stop.
What happened in the last hour to change your mind? Nothing.
Come on.
You were fine.
What's going on? We need to stay and make sure Johnny's okay.
Honey, Johnny will be fine.
He can take care of himself.
No.
We shouldn't go.
Hey.
Stop.
Look, I know that this is hard for you.
Okay, but you're gonna have to trust me on this.
It's for the best.
And Johnny will always be in your life.
I promise you that.
Okay? Okay.
Now let's repack this stuff.
The movers are here.
You give it to him.
Hi.
We got you a present.
Mom picked it out.
So you decided to redecorate my office.
All right.
Well, next time you get the urge, just let me know.
I could use a dart board over here.
Let's see how it looks.
Great.
Where is it? It's right over there.
Thanks.
So you tracked me down here, Smith.
When did you get back? Why haven't you been answering your phone? Uh, I was just, uh you know, I thought you might All right, look, I assumed you told Sarah about seeing Walt die.
I didn't mean to cause any problems.
Nah, I should have told her myself.
So you've been calling me all day, and you're sitting here waiting for me.
What's going on? I had a vision about you that you were in trouble.
Trouble.
I've been looking for this guy Leo Vitali for over a week.
I really need to talk to him.
What the hell are you investigating? Leo was doing some work on the cabin Walt Bannerman bought in somerset county.
There's some inconsistencies between what he told me and the treasury department's report.
Since the investigation is closed, I don't want anyone to know I'm still asking questions.
Wait a minute.
The investigation's closed? Technically, yes.
I was instructed to shut it down after it was confirmed that Walt was receiving money from Brian Meek's family.
You happy now? Actually, I am.
Now you can talk about it.
What? While I was gone an old friend of mine told me to find out what Walt was investigating before he died.
What friend? It's a psychic friend of mine.
Another one? Look, you're looking for information on Leo Vitali to find out information about Walt.
And it's gotta be related, right? How? I don't know yet.
But if I can get a look at Walt's computer, maybe things would be different.
You can't be serious.
Now, look, I wanna go back to my personal day.
So unless you find something in here that'll give you a vision that'll help explain how or why Abraham Lincoln is gonna kill me What? Remember when you didn't want the help of a psychic, ms.
"By-the-book? What, so now you want me to deputize you? I think I know where to look for Leo.
So do I.
The Rusty Trawler.
Looks like I don't need to deputize you after all.
It was good to see you.
I'm coming with ya.
Bartender said he was looking for a place to hide.
After what we saw in the motel room, you can't blame him.
Get out of the way! Come on! You saw that too, right? He doesn't look like he was going to a costume party.
Dark grey dutch magnum.
He's armed and dangerous.
You understand? I want everyone looking for this guy.
Any questions? Good.
Get to it.
So what are we doing? We wait for this guy to sober up and ask him about Walt's cabin.
You let me know if you got any more visions about Abraham Lincoln.
I'll meet you at the station.
Okay.
Com'on Leo.
Com'on.
Sarah, is everything okay? J.
J.
is worried about you.
Can you talk to him? Put him on.
Johnny? How you doing, my man? Are you okay? Yeah, I am right now.
Why? What's wrong? I I just wanted to make sure you were alright.
Did you get on of your feeling? Yeah.
Did you see something or it was just a feeling? The second one.
You don't want to talk about it because your mom is right there, right? Are you really okay? Because I still have it.
It hasn't gone away all night.
I'm fine J.
J.
.
But put you mom back on, okay? Don't worry, I'm not gonna say anything.
Good night, son.
Good night, Johnny.
Com'on.
Jake.
Any news? Not much.
The vehicule was reported stolen this morning but they haven't spotted it yet.
Alright, start processing him.
I'll be right back.
The movers scratched the floor in the dining room a little bit.
I'll pay to have it refinished.
Can we talk about it later.
I'm just kind in the middle of something.
Okay.
So So maybe you'll have breakfast with us before we leave.
Damn it, my phone is dying.
Oh! I'll be there for breakfast.
Okay.
Be safe.
Thanks, Sarah.
Hey, sheriff.
Listen, I think Abe Linc was after Leo.
Why? Leo was dead in both of my visions.
You and I were just collateral damage.
But why Leo? Walt and Leo knew each over.
There could have been a connection.
What was Walt investigating on when he died? Cares.
Never mind.
Johnny don't.
Shhhht.
I'm doing the right thing, right? Nothing in the hard files.
Let me take the archives.
Damn it! Jake! I can't access the database, internet is down.
What about Walt's laptop? You can't find anything on his computer? Nothing.
Techs scoured it and came up empty.
So the partition should be undetectable.
How do I set-up a separate security protocol? Alright.
Thanks, man.
Walt com'on.
J.
J.
s band is rehearsing.
Yep.
I'll be right there.
May i? What are you doing? You just said the techs couldn't find anything on the computer.
I was trying to see if I could trigger a vision.
Sheriff.
What's going on? - Watch out! - Freeze! - Go off me! - You okay? Not exactly.
Bullet-proof glass, huh? I upgraded office security when I got here.
Can never be too safe, right? All right, hold still.
Thanks.
What are you doing? See what he's doing out there.
How's Leo? Still out, but he wasn't hit.
I'll call for help.
State police are on speed dial.
It's dead.
You got a cell phone? It's in the car.
What about yours? It's out there in my jacket.
That guy's not gonna leave until he finishes his business.
How long do you think we have before he finds the keys? There isn't one.
It's a keyless deadbolt.
See if he's got a cell phone.
Any other ideas? How are you feeling? What do you think? Oh, my head.
Well, good morning, Mr.
Vitali.
How are we feeling today? He attacked me.
Yeah, I know.
I was there.
No, in my room.
Who the hell would wAnna hurt you? Oh, my god.
What's he doing? This doesn't look good.
- You think it's gonna hold? - I don't know.
Oh, no.
Get down! - How you doin'? - I'm okay.
Doug? Why was your boyfriend trying to kill Leo? Boyfriend? That's not my boyfriend.
All right.
Why was Doug O'Connell after you? O'Connell gave me 20,000 to come in here and tell sheriff Turner about Bannerman's cabin in Somerset County.
Well, how did he know that Walt owed you money? I never even met sheriff Bannerman.
Never even saw the cabin.
You have to understand, my mother down in Palm Beach, sometimes she turns on the stove and forgets.
I just wanted to hire someone to take care of her.
So he paid you to lie to the sheriff.
And to let him know if the sheriff ever came looking for me, so when she left that message last week, I did.
Doug said he'd take care of it.
By trying to kill you so you couldn't talk to Turner.
How's she doin'? I'm fine.
Will you give us a minute alone, please? So Doug O'Connell didn't want you checking into the inconsistencies in the Bannerman investigation.
This doesn't make any sense.
Doug was my psychiatrist.
Your psychiatrist? After Emmett died, I talked to the lieutenant about quitting the force.
Doug called me up and suggested I might benefit from a few sessions.
He said we could keep it casual, meet in the park if I didn't wAnna meet in a shrink's office.
I mean, he was great.
He got me this job.
He also paid Leo to lead you to the cabin.
What are you saying, that this is a conspiracy, and that Doug was a part of it? It all goes back to Walt.
Kinda makes you wonder what he was looking into when he died.
Thank you for breakfast.
I was worried you weren't going to make it.
You were out late.
Sarah, I may have found out something about Walt and the cabin.
Johnny, please.
This is hard enough as it is.
Can't you just let it go? For me? Maybe you should say good-bye to J.
J.
We're leaving in a few minutes.
Okay.
Hey, kid, you all set? Yeah.
Hey, maybe you can come up soon.
The cabin's by a lake, and I'm getting a jet-ski.
A jet-ski, huh? Yeah, you can teach me how to drive it.
Sounds good.
Come here.
I love you, man.
I'm really gonna miss you, Johnny.
Me too.
Hey, listen.
You'll always have a room here.
Okay? Maybe your mom will let you have some sleepovers.
Wait a minute.
Is that my Red Sox hat? Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
No, no.
Keep it.
It looks way better on you.
Thanks.
Honey, take your sister to the car.
Sure.
See ya, Johnny.
Good-bye, son.
You don't need any help unpacking or anything? All right.
I know you don't believe me, but I really wish things were different.
So do I.
Sarah.
Me too.
- Hey, Jake.
- Hey, uh.
- How's it goin'? Come on in, buddy.
- Uh, yeah, sure.
So how's sheriff Turner? - Uhgetting better.
- Yeah? Uh, she asked me to bring you this.
We tried to check out Doug O'Connell.
Tried to? There's no record of him.
None? Did you check with NYPD? They don't contract with anyone by that name, for counseling services or anything else.
There's no criminal record? Nope.
I mean, no driver's license, no tax information, nothing.
What is this guy, some kind of spook? Yeah, well, it looks that way.
What was Walt trying to uncover? Good question.
But, uh, I gotta get back to the station.
Still a lot of paperwork to fill out on last night.
Yeah, all right.
Thanks, man.
See ya, Jake.
Depty Smith Thanks for saving my life, Anna T.
Armageddon What was Walt doing with all these pictures on his computer? Hey, John.
John.
Oh, John.
I thought you got rid of this stuff.
Hey.
Sheriff Bannerman.
Okay, you were right.
We can get together and talk about Herb Smith.
Herb Smith.
Walt What did you find out about my father?
