American Horror Story s11e08 Episode Script

1
God, please. I'll do anything.
I will go to confession,
just make it stop.
If you're gonna go to confession,
you might want to bring
some food and water.
You're gonna be there awhile.
Thanks.
Does everyone have to be
out here to see this?
It's not a goddamn floor show.
Baby, I don't think
you're the first person
who's gotten seasick on this thing.
You're right. This isn't
embarrassing at all.
And I wish it was just being seasick,
but I've been doing this every morning.
I've definitely got something.
That's weird.
I don't know if it's weird,
but it sucks.
No, it's weird. I
Hannah left a message
on my answering machine.
She's sick, too.
That's why she can't
come to Fire Island.
Well, Hannah has a good excuse.
She's pregnant.
Yeah, but she's been talking
about this disease going around.
It messes with your immune system.
Something about T cells or platelets.
I don't know, but
She doesn't know
if it's viral or bacterial,
- but it's going around.
- Great.
Well, if something's going around,
I always seem to get it.
It's just my luck.
Are you talking about what
I think you're talking about?
Might as well open my kimono.
Gonorrhea six times,
chlamydia a handful,
and syphilis twice.
That's my history.
I wasn't asking about it, but,
uh, since we're on the subject,
I thought I had crabs once.
I didn't.
All right, St. Bernadette.
You know, I'm actually looking
forward to being a one-man guy.
I think I can do it.
Since the guy is you.
You just said something sweet.
Now I know you're sick.
What the fuck?
A little thank-you
for ditching the cover story
of the Pride issue, asshole.
Mai tai?
Well, that's good that you can
actually joke about it.
Well, if you can joke about it,
it can't kill you.
Come on, baby.
Okay. That's it.
Oh, Jesus, that's strong.
To every day always being like this.
You do realize every day
cannot be like this.
One of us will have to work soon,
- otherwise we'll starve.
- I know.
- We're not gonna starve.
- No?
Mm. Hold on, hold on.
Mind my drink.
What?
It's okay. It's okay, Gino.
Come on, it's okay.
You don't like it when I
touch you anymore, huh?
- No.
- No? Well, no, it's true.
It's been like that for a while.
I just, I don't, I don't
think I'm as over this
- as I thought I was.
- Okay.
Uh, I think you're shell-shocked, Gino.
And after everything that
you and I have been through,
I think that's totally understandable.
I think there's something wrong with me.
Fuck.
Found another one.
That's-that's-that's not normal.
Yeah, okay, the doctor said
it's a benign growth, so
Yes, it's found in older Italian men.
I know.
But you have one.
No, you actually, you've got two.
I do.
You're not Italian.
Why is this happening to us?
I don't know.
- But the doctor said
- Yeah, the doctor said, "Take another pill".
The doctor said, "Try this antibiotic.
It'll go away. They always go away".
I'm telling you
There's something inside me
that is is growing.
It's getting stronger.
It's just instinctual, but I feel it.
Yeah, I think you need to see a shrink.
- Wow.
- Gino, everything is going to be fine.
I don't think
it's gonna be fine, actually.
Fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!
What?
- What?
- You're really doing this, huh?
Really, really gonna fight
on our vacation, huh?
- I'm not fighting.
- No, no.
I'm telling you, yes, we've been
through something traumatic.
- Mm-hmm. Right.
- And I'm still scared.
Fear is an indicator
that something is wrong.
You're a fucking cop.
How do you not know that?
- Just trying to help, Gino.
- No.
What you're trying to do is
to ignore the fact
that something awful is still out there,
and I'm telling you that it is.
So stick your head in the fucking sand,
but it's not going away.
- I need to take a walk.
- Yeah. Okay.
Take a walk, Gino. Take a fucking walk.
Hey.
You sure you're up for this?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can't trudge
all the way out to Fire Island
and not go to Tea.
I'll just get a couple drinks
in me, I'll be fine.
So you can flirt with other guys?
No.
So they can flirt with me.
You know, I don't mind it
when other guys come on to you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Like that.
Who are you?
- Hi.
- Hey.
Um, we were about to go
to the Blue Whale.
- Do you want to join?
- Mm-mm.
Where's Gino?
Fucking Gino.
Everything okay?
No, it's not.
Gino and I are, uh
You know what? It's fine.
It's gonna be a great weekend.
Uh, do you want us
to give you some space?
- Yeah, we can get a hotel room.
- Nope.
Nope, it's good you're here.
What's Gino like at work, Adam?
Uh, he's he's great.
He's great, huh?
Really? He's great?
Really?
I mean, he can be kind of
intense sometimes,
but, uh, that's just
'cause the job is stressful,
you know, with everything
that's been going on.
No, no, no, no. Gino was intense
before any of this shit happened.
He's suffering, and I
can't seem to help him.
Yeah, I shouldn't be telling you this.
You two work together, so
No, it's fine.
We're all family now.
Family, huh?
That's nice.
Yeah, all right, you two. Fuck off.
Go enjoy Fire Island, huh?
Are you sure you don't want to join?
Think a night out might
do you some good.
No, I'm good.
Maybe later.
To Fire Island.
- To the island of fire.
- Absolutely.
Bye, see ya.
Gino?
Gino?
Gino?
Barbara?
I loved you, Patrick.
- I loved you, Patrick.
- Barbara.
I loved you. I loved you, Patrick.
I loved you.
The road not taken.
I was so hoping to see you
whacking those bushes as you
climbed Mount Crisco.
The woods
are lovely, dark and deep.
Please leave me alone.
Abandoning me?
After all we've been through.
That's just it
we've been through it,
it's over,
now go away.
You cannot blame me for admiring you.
I devoured everything
you wrote at The Native,
which sprung from
an Etruscan passion for life,
for the welfare of others.
I admire that.
Says the hit man.
I knew from the minute
I laid eyes on you
that you were something different.
All that denim.
You had a a swagger, even.
You had a stature, a
a kind of righteousness that you
only see in Western movies.
Oh, you do make me laugh.
Gino Barelli, Gino Barelli. ♪
Where else may I find a wit so sharp?
Not here in Dullsville.
Oh, speaking of dull,
I'm so glad you're coming to your senses
about Officer Friendly.
Your little
lovers' quarrel gave me hope.
How'd you know about that?
Oh, well, the criminals
who are organized
have kept up on the two of you.
Oh, they know everything about you
where you work, live, play.
You know, you're not
that hard to follow.
Especially with all the noise
you make in your paper.
The heads of the families would
promote any thuggish cousin
just for shutting you up.
Oh, you're Is that
supposed to scare me?
I grew up with those boys.
Bring it on!
Gay men!
We never run scared!
That's what makes us such good spies.
We creep back toward death.
We take bigger risks.
We fuck bigger dicks.
We cheat death and then we think
of a new way to court it,
dancing with any devil that may pop up.
That's why my bosses
allowed you and Detective Read
to continue with your capers.
You're good for business!
You're bringing some edge
to the rumpus room!
Whatever you're on,
you need to adjust the dosage.
Don't walk away from me!
Hey!
You don't walk away from me!
What I'm telling you
is that I spared you!
I told them
that you're valuable!
To them!
But also to me!
- What the fuck are you talking about?
- Okay.
Maybe it is these new opioids,
but
I float
just being near you.
What else do I need to sacrifice
to prove to you that I'm a good man?
To prove to you that I am worthy of you?
Because it's all been leading
to this. Gino Barelli.
Gino. Gino Barelli.
I'm hopelessly,
desperately
- in love with you.
- Henry,
you've been through a lot.
- This is the pills talking.
- Gino,
if I can't have you,
then no
No!
Don't say it.
And you won't regret it.
Please.
You okay?
Sorry.
It just keeps coming in waves.
- What about a ginger ale?
- No,
I'm feeling more clammy than anything.
Um
maybe we just go back to the house?
Oh, God.
A night in?
You and me?
What a letdown.
Maybe I teach you Egyptian Ratscrew.
Oh.
Kinky.
It's a card game.
Or
we could light up some of that grass
I saw in your Dopp kit,
settle your stomach and
go for a naked swim.
It's a full moon.
You want to smoke a joint with me?
My Adam?
A dope fiend?
Just a dope
looking to get dopey with you.
Bad joke.
But, yeah
call me relaxed.
Finally.
I just need a little lie-down.
And then I'm all yours.
Okay.
I'll settle the tab.
Uh
- I forgot my wallet.
- Oh.
Um
Uh, here.
That's not gonna get you
very far, sailor.
I'll be right back.
Hello. Hello, hello, hello.
Hello?
Hey
I will never know how you do that.
Well, I know how you do that.
I'll just never be able
to do the same thing.
Well, not with that attitude.
Look at you. Brighten up.
You're in Shangri-La.
Mm. Yes.
I did think a change of
scenery would do me
Oh, who am I kidding?
I came out here because
that Barelli and his cop
- were coming out and
- You made a play for the town crier?
Bravo. You should be standing
a foot taller.
I'm half a man.
Incomplete.
Don't brown your whites, Henry.
So many men on this island are
what did you say? incomplete.
Deeply.
Permanently.
That's on the inside.
You're lucky you're
out front with yours.
Take confidence in the fact
that someone here wants
exactly what you have.
- Yeah, someone just as deformed?
- Again, Henry,
this is an open-air sex bazaar.
Anyone here can buy or sell
or touch or be touched.
The codes here are cracked,
the revolution won.
You didn't die.
So live.
I want what you're having.
Imagine the hottest guy here.
And don't presume that
you know what he wants.
Assume that he wants something new
with someone new.
So, should I just ask around?
Let me do the asking.
Would you?
Meet me at the Meat Rack.
9:00.
Your new boyfriend left you
alone in this piranha pool?
He must really trust you.
I'm not in the mood for
any of your games, Sam.
Hey.
I don't feel well.
Truce.
You won. You vanquished me.
Maybe I'm making this look easy, but
it hasn't been.
Don't expect any sympathy from me.
It ended ugly for both of us.
I wouldn't call him ugly.
He sort of suits you in this
move away from who you were.
Says the checkbook with a dick.
Some kind of truce, Sam.
To new paths.
To
coexisting
with grace.
To getting what we deserve.
Goodbye, Sam.
This place is amazing, Fran.
Yeah, and they're paying me
some major dough.
50 bucks a tarot reading.
Oh, those Pine boys
love an expensive party favor.
Mm. Speaking of
I brought you some sage.
Please burn this during your readings.
I don't want you bringing
back any bad energy.
I'm not going that deep with these boys.
- Huh.
- It's only a party.
Well, don't be out too late,
because we have a mission ahead of us.
- Ticks. - Ticks.
- The Cherry Grove doc
wants to see us first
thing in the morning.
She said that there's been
50 or so cases just like mine
this summer alone.
She's dying to hear
about Dr. Wells's research.
Has anybody heard back from Dr. Wells?
I was supposed to talk to her
this morning, but she
totally flaked on me.
- Mm.
- Well, figures.
Can never trust the establishment.
What was that?
Probably a deer.
They're everywhere
on this side of the island.
I thought they were trying
to wipe out all the deer.
You can't actually kill all of them.
- Oh, shit, there's a man out there.
- He's probably just
some drunk queen wandering
by from the Meat Rack.
No, he's got big muscles.
He's got black leather on.
And it's kind of freaky.
Go home, man!
We don't have any liquor!
This is Cherry Grove, dude!
Nothing but lesbians
and early bedtimes here!
Go back to the Pines!
He's gone.
There's that creepy
Peeping Tom I told you about!
Fuck you, dude.
You're on private property.
Get out of here!
- Fuck you.
- Hey!
Oh, fuck that.
What the fuck?
Hey!
Go!
- What the fuck was that?
- That's him!
It's the guy who killed Sully.
What are we gonna do?
We need to call the sheriff.
You shot him in the back
of the head, Patrick.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Wait. Wait!
I want to see his face first.
I want to pull that fucking mask off
and see his face.
I need to know who he is.
What the fuck?

Oh!
Henry.
You gotta watch your back
in the Meat Rack.
Come on, I'll show you where
all the choice cuts are hung.
Given what I've gone through recently,
that kind of talk does not turn me on.
Fair. I'm sorry. But come on.
I don't I don't I don't know
how I feel about all this.
I mean
I've confessed my sins,
I've performed my penance.
I'm trying to be a better man.
Henry, get over it.
These men come here to be defiled.
It's what gets them off.
It would be a selfish sin not
to give them what they want.
Asshole.
You will always be mine.
Is he all right?
This is his fantasy, Henry.
He's so used to being in control,
he begged me to bring
him out here like this
so he can just surrender and receive.
Don't deny him his dream.
Oh, my God.
It's the simple things
that are a challenge
when you lose something important.
You're a young man, and you think
you think you'll be beautiful forever.
Oh
you're all just
throwing away
what you should be treasuring.
Theo. Theo
I know you.
I know all of you.
I photographed you.
You will be remembered.
