Breakers (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Gone - full transcript

- I
almost believed you.

A supernatural event.

That I was supposed to
be a part of something.

- Hi, Mom?

Yeah, I...

Yeah. Yeah, I think that
I'm getting stood up.

-
I went back there.

Couple times, actually, but...

She wasn't there.

- Yeah, I know. This just
keeps happening to me, though.

-
I was thinking maybe
I can't cut corners.



Maybe I was messing it up.

Maybe it didn't work if things
were not lined up just right.

- Hey! Wake up!

So, what do you think
I'm gonna ask for?

Gungnir's missing.

- I did everything the same.

I dealt with Gungnir,

I came here, I stole
this appointment...

- You stole this appointment?

- Are you
the eight o'clock?

Earl says hi, by the way.

Or at least I was
close as possible,

because like I said before...

- You know they actually
have vaping competitions?



- It's
not always predictable.

Well, people are
always looking for ways

to waste their time.

- No, no, this is
a serious thing.

I mean, you got these
guys who can make shapes

like they're Gandalf
or somethin'.

All right, there's this one guy.

While he was doin' it, he was
bobbin' his head up and down

like he was a chicken
or somethin', right?

But then, when he lets it out,

I swear it was Nixon's face.

Well, you had to squint
your eyes just a little bit,

but there it was.

Nixon.

- Yeah...

Listen, about that blind date,

can you still set it up?

- Really?

- Sure.

- Well, yeah.

Great.

- I'm gonna be honest,
I almost didn't come.

- No way.

- Yeah. You know,
blind dates, they-

- Never go well?

I know exactly what you mean.

I didn't wanna come.

- Really? Why'd you come?

- I think I need to come.

- Yeah, yeah, I
totally get that.

Um, so what do you like to do?

- Nothing.

You?

- Uh, I mean, mostly work.

We do a girls' night
like once a week,

but I think more
than once a week

and I would probably
lose my mind.

- Drama?

- Yeah, exactly.

Um, I did a mud run last month.

Have you heard of those?

- Yep. Love it.

- Oh! Really?

Have you done one?
- No.

I just like the idea of running
around with all the mud.

- I mean, yeah. Yeah,
they're actually really fun.

It is way more fun
than the cancer run.

That was just depressing.

I just decided to get out
and do things, you know?

- Yep.

- Yeah, I mean, I
was so busy with work

that I wasn't really
doing anything else.

I would just go home and
binge-watch TV shows,

and after a while it just feels

like life is passing
you by, you know?

- I know exactly what you mean.

You don't take care of yourself,

you don't exercise,
you have zero energy.

- Wow, that's,

that's exactly what
I was gonna say.

Um, have you heard of Genaprox?

That's actually how
I got my energy back.

I mean, it completely changed
everything in my life.

I mean, really,

how often do you think
about your gut health?

- Oh, I think about
it all the time.

My colon probably looks
like a smoker's lung.

- Really?

Um, I actually have
a card here for you

if you'd like to look at it.

We're having a
meeting this Thursday.

I'd love it if you would come.

- Absolutely. I'll be there.

Speaking of colons, I need
to go to the bathroom.

This isn't the men's room.

- Um...

What's going on?

- Sorry, Molly. I
got some bad news.

It's not gonna work out.

- Uh, well, are you
still coming on Thursday?

- Sure.

- It
doesn't make sense.

You can't save someone
if they aren't there.

I'm an idiot.

I'm an idiot for
thinking that God

had anything to do with this.

I'm just stuck in some time
continuum or something.

- I'm gonna ask you a question

and I want you to tell
me the truth, okay?

- Sure.
- Because there needs to be

some level of trust
between us, right?

- Right.

- What substances are you on?

- I'm sorry?
- Where did you get them?

On the streets? Prescriptions?

- What are you talking about?

- Is everything okay in here?

- This is him, Officer.

- What, what's goin' on?
- Sir, come over here.

You called the police?

- Sir! Come over here!

- Is this really necessary?

I was just sitting in a
chair. I didn't do anything.

- Sir, get on the ground.

- This is because I stole
the appointment, isn't-

Ah!

- Is he gonna be okay?

- I've never seen
'em drop like that.

- Hey!

Hey!

- No.

Just...

No.

- Sir?

Are you listening to me?

- Not really.

No.

And they give you
15 minutes for this?

- Well, were you stoned?

Now, it's all right. You can
tell me if you were stoned.

I'm still gonna love you.

Now, I might reconsider giving
you money at Christmastime-

- No.

I am not, nor have been, stoned.

- So you go see this person,

and you tell her about
living the same thing over,

day after day.

And in turn she tases you?

- She didn't, a cop did.

- Right, but she called the cop?

- Yes.

- She probably thought
you were stoned.

- Yes.

- You might wanna consider

a more delicate
approach next time.

- Oh, there won't be a next
time because I'm not going back.

After all, the idea was a sham.

And she made it clearly evident

that she thought I was crazy,

just like everyone else.

- Well, what was her idea?

- That God wants
me to do something.

- What does he want you to do?

- He doesn't want
me to do anything.

- Well, now, that
doesn't make any sense.

- Papaw, he doesn't
want me to do anything

because that's not
what's going on here.

God has nothing to do with this.

It was...

It was a stupid idea.

- Hmm, and maybe what
she's saying's logical.

- What part of this is logical?

None of this makes any sense.

- Is that your phone?

- Yes.

Sorry.
- Phones go in the pot!

- Papaw, I know. I just forgot.

- How you do forget?

You walk in, you put
the phone in the pot.

- It was an accident.

- An accident?

Do you know how they listen?

And they can trace
that to within an inch.

- Papaw!

No one cares.

No one is out to get you.

No one is listening to you.

And even if they
were listening in,

no one on Earth cares
what you have to say.

- Yeah.

Okay.

- I didn't mean it like that.

Here's to another day.

- Sir, if you can,

I need you to turn around for
me, we got the road blocked.

We got an incident up here.

- Uh, what's goin' on?

- Well, I'm not supposed to
say anything, but we got a...

We found a dead girl up here.

So I just need you to go ahead
and make a U-turn right here.

The road's blocked.

- Wait, what's she look like?

- Just, I need you to go
ahead and make a U-turn

right up here for me, sir.
- Wait! Wait, wait, wait!

What's she look like?
- Thank you, sir.

- What's she look like?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Just wanted to wish
you a good morning,

and also Gungnir
is missing again.

- You're reliving the
same day over and over?

- That's right.

- Uh-huh.

And we've had this
conversation before.

- Yes. It's a
supernatural event.

- I'm gonna be honest with you

and say that I've never had
a patient talk like this.

- I get it. It's
a lot to take in.

So we're gonna need a system.

- A system?

- Right. A way to catch
you up to speed faster.

- I don't understand.

- What's the last
thing you thought about

last night before
you went to bed?

- I don't usually
talk about myself.

- Please, for today.
Just play along.

The last thing
you thought about.

- That no one came to
my college reunion.

- What?
- We have a class of over 400

and only 30 people
came to the reunion.

And they served
chicken biscuits.

I always thought of a
biscuit as a breakfast thing.

It was depressing.

- Oh.

- Hey! Hey!

- I hate it
when you do that.

- Tell her I said hi.

- So why'd you go?

To the reunion.

- I thought I would
see some old friends,

but they didn't show.

They all have kids now.

Okay, so why are you here?

- I can't figure out why
she was there one day

but not since.

- You said the days
aren't the same.

- Right. There are
always variables.

But I tried to repeat everything
as closely as possible,

and she wasn't there.

- Well, maybe that
was just one bad day

and the other days have
had better outcomes.

- No, I don't think so.

- Why not?

- You said it was a
supernatural event.

That God was trying
to show me something.

- I said that?

- Yes.

- In all these days
you've been reliving,

you've only seen her once?

- Right.

- Maybe it's not the one thing.

- What?

- Maybe this is more than
just about saving the girl.

- Can you just look at this?

Your company's stock price
has risen 20-plus percent

every quarter, like clockwork.

But this is the
actual accounting.

And as far as we can tell,
these numbers just don't add up.

- Are
you listening to this?

- Every day.

- You know what this looks like?

- Math?

- Enron.

It looks like Enron.

- Let me ask you guys something.

Let's just pretend
that everything
you're saying is true.

What are the implications?

- Implications?

- The damage?

- You remember back when the
housing market crashed in 2008?

I had to go live in a mobile
home for eight months.

You know what that's like?

Living in a mobile
home with four kids?

They had to switch schools.

They still think it's my fault.

That's why I do this.

- It's evil, pure and simple.

- If you were to accidentally
get on the elevator

and go to the 25th floor,

to the southeast
corner of the building,

you may or may not find
something interesting.

- What would we find?

- I, of course,
didn't tell you that.

But if you were feeling curious,

that's where I'd try.

- So why'd you come?

- I wasn't very
nice to you before.

- Before?

- Listen.

I think you're a
very nice person,

and I would love to
have dinner with you

and get to know you,

but I'm not interested
in anything else.

Not protein powders, not
essential oils, nothing.

Just you, me,

dinner, and...

- I...

And?

- Pleasant conversation.

You know,

thoughts, feelings, life.

- Okay.

Yeah, I think I'm game.

- Great.

Hey, do you mind if I run
to the bathroom real quick?

- Sure.

- So.

You ever do a mud run?

- Let go of me! Stop!

- Run!

- Who are you?

- Hey! What's-

- I need to know
what's on this, now.

- I'm right in the middle of-

- Now, Max! Right now!

- Fine! No problem.

What's wrong with you?

- Just do it!

- What's on your ankle?

- What?

- Is that like a fitness
tracker or somethin'?

You know, I've been wanting
to get one of those.

I'm gettin' a little chub
in the gut, you know?

Hey, hey, does that
monitor your heart?

- Just do it!

- You need to work on
your treatment of people.

It's encrypted.

- Then un-encrypt it.

- What do you
mean, "Un-encrypt it"?

- I mean you're a nerd
geek. Do what you do!

- You're not being very nice.

- Max! Pretty please
with cherries.

Do it!

- I don't appreciate sarcasm.

- How long is it gonna take?

- Dude! What's your deal?

- I need it now!

- Well, it's gonna take
a little bit more than that.

- I will call your controller
by its name from now on

if you give me anything,
something, right now!

- Wait, really?

- Max!
- Um, duh, there's a PDF.

- A PDF?
- Yeah.

A letter. The letterheads
from Paola Foust?

- Paola Foust?

- Yeah, "From the
desk of Paola Foust."

- That's it?

- What do you mean, "That's
it"? I haven't read it yet.

Do you see how
long that thing is?

- We gotta go!
- What?

- Come on! Run!

- Who is that?

- We gotta move!

- I'm going!
Jack, who is that?

Call the police!
- No!

- Call the...

What are you doing?

We need to call the
police! Come on!

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

- Hey! Hey!

- I need your help.

- Okay.

Apparently she's
a congresswoman.

- What?

- Paola Foust, congresswoman
from Congressional District 23.

- I don't recognize her name.

- Well, we're in District 24.

We've never voted for her.

- Oh.
- Please tell me you voted.

Hey, why are we
looking her up again?

- Curiosity.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, that's very nice.

Um, it looks a
little bit masculine.

- Okay.

- So if you would just use-
- Congresswoman?

He's here.

- So can you
just change it up?

- Okay. Certainly.

We'll get this fixed
for you right away.

- Thank you.

So, are you looking
for Ms. Ross?

- Uh, maybe.

I'm actually not sure.

Is that her name? Ross?

- Ms. Ross.

You don't know her name?

- We meet at a restaurant,

and I didn't the chance to
finish my conversation with her.

I thought she might work here.

- Why would you think that?

- She had a letter

"From the desk of Paola Foust."

- So you've come to find her.

- Trying to.

- How very Jane Austen.

- Sure.

- You have no idea
who I am, do you?

- Sorry.

- I'm Paola Foust.

- Oh. You're the congresswoman.

- Yes, of Texas'
great District 23.

- I've never met a
congressperson before.

Am I supposed to bow?

- So what was in the letter?

- What letter?

- You said Ms.
Ross had a letter.

- I don't know. I didn't
read it, just saw the top.

- And that was in a restaurant?

Which one?

- Las Vaqueras.

- Never heard of it.

- It's Mexican.

Um, listen, I'm just
trying to find her.

- We are all trying to find her.

- What do you mean?

- You don't keep up with
the news much, do you?

Ms. Ross was supposed to appear
in a hearing this morning

and she didn't show up.

She's one of our staffers,

so I think you can imagine
how concerned we are.

- Sure.

Sure.

- By chance, did she seem
okay when you met her?

- Actually, no. She
seemed a bit distressed.

- Did she say what about?

- Our conversation was brief.

- Ma'am?

- Listen, I'd very much like
to discuss this further,

but I have a meeting
I have to get to.

But I would like to ask
you for a favor, if I may.

- Okay.

- I want you to take
one of my people

and show them this
restaurant of yours,

just in case she
turns up there again.

- I need to get back to work.

- It would seem Ms. Ross
and your country needs you,

and you wouldn't want to
let them down, would you?

Mister-
- Ma'am?

- This young man will be
running an errand with you.

- Where are we going?
