Breakers (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Shoelaces - full transcript

- I'm confused.

Who's this for?

- It doesn't say, so
I guess, it's for you.

- Why is there no
shipping label?

- Hey, they say deliver
it, and I deliver it.

- It's weird.

- Well, sometimes you
gotta get creative

when you need to send a message.

- Still, it's pretty weird.

- Hey, can you go
ahead and sign for it?

I got somewhere I gotta be.



Maybe it'll brighten your day.

- I told her I would do it.

It's just laundry, I don't
understand what the big deal is.

When she gets off her
shift this afternoon,

we're gonna have us a talk.

If a woman offers help and
you don't take that help,

what does that make you?

Now, I'm not saying
she's an ingrate,

but I'll let the facts
speak for themself.

Now don't let that
get in your eggs.

Smell it?

Smell it.

Is there a difference?

Okay, so what?



My fabric softener
is a bit more floral,

but people like that.

She don't have to get
her panties in a wad.

And speaking of that,

son, we're gonna have to have
us a discussion around here.

About what type of underwear
is acceptable in this house.

Now, I know this is a new age,

it's not like we
living in the '50's,

but some things is
just plain ol'...

It's disgusting, it's wrong,
and Jesus don't like it.

- An
explosion rocked the streets

of downtown today,
resulting in one casualty.

Three others were
rushed to St. Jude's

with serious injuries.

The explosion took place
after a morning delivery

to the Fine Acres Bar and
Pub on Commerce street.

Police are asking any who may
have seen the delivery van

or the persons
making the delivery

to please contact
them immediately.

Police found bits
of orange cardboard

scattered over the
scene with the words,

"meet me", written
in black letters.

Authorities are not
sure what it means,

but we have the pictures
for you on our website.

In other news, a cyclist
was bitten this morning,

by the owner of a dog who
also attacked the cyclist

in River Ledges Park.

The cyclist, Tom DeWitt--

- Harper, answer your phone.

- Problems?

- She's not at the lake house.

I got my people on her
apartment and her parents.

More importantly,
she's not here.

- Harper.

- That's twice you've killed me.

There won't be a third.

- You got my message.

Smith?

Your last name is Smith?

That is disappointingly generic.

So you can't die.

Because you're the ring leader.

How does this work?

If I were to kill
you here and now,

would it just start over?

- Yes.

- In the same spot each time?

- Yes.

- Crazy.

Do you control it?

- What?

- Do you have control?

Can you make it stop?

- No.

- Man, so you're screwed.

I mean, how long has
it been doing this?

- A long time.

- And if somebody dies
with you, they get in?

They wake up, like me?

- Something like that.

- And if you don't die,
it just resets on its own?

- At midnight.

- Like a movie?

Who else knows?

- A few people.

- Our friend Foust?

- I don't think so.

- So what were doing here?

Were you trying to play the
hero or rescue the girl?

I mean, she was cute,
but not that cute.

- It's a supernatural event.

- What?

- It's a supernatural thing.

All right, I have
to do something,

figure it out, and until
then, I'm stuck in this loop.

- With me?

- And other people.

- So you've been trying
to play the hero,

rescue the girl, defeat
evil or something like that?

- There's a purpose or a reason.

- And you believe that?

Like God is trying to
test you or something.

Oh man, you are not
doing very well.

- Mills,

dude, wake up.

You okay?

Are you sick?

Dude, don't get me sick.

I barely escaped my snotty
nosed nieces this weekend,

my sister's all like,
"They're just teething."

And I'm like, no, no, when
there's that much snot

flying around, that
ain't just teething.

Oh, sorry, dude.

- Yeah, just bad deja vu.

- Really?

You know, I have never had that.

I'm jealous.

Did you hear about Paola Foust?

She's dead.

Turns out her campaign
manager shot her.

Kendall's been there all
morning, apparently it's a mess.

- You know Paola Foust?

- Yeah, kinda.

- Kinda?

- She does a lot of the
P.D. meetings, fundraisers.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

You look pissed off.

- Sorry.

- Let's go.

- Come on.

- Are you coming?

- No, they know me in there.

Leave the keys.

- You're going about
this all wrong.

If you find a broken
slot machine in Vegas

that wins every time,
you pull the hammer,

you don't try to fix it.

- When the day resets,
it resets everything.

All right, nothing changes.

Everything goes back to one.

- You really don't understand
what you have here, do you?

You are the owner

of a cosmic evolutionary glitch,

and you actually want
things to go back to normal?

No, you know, take all that
supernatural divine purpose crap

and throw it where it belongs.

Because if there's a God,

he got you and your
friends killed.

Okay?

If there's a God let him
deal with the bad people.

No, no, no, screw that.

Think bigger.

What you have,

you could change
the world, forever.

Here,

let me show you.

- I know we're busy
with the thing downtown,

but we've gotta make it work.

So we're gonna split
into three teams.

You two take the scene,
I'll take the house,

you guys check their offices.

It seems pretty cut and dry,

but considering this
is national news,

they're gonna be looking at
us through a magnifying glass.

Can we help you?

- I came to help.

You're probably feeling
a bit of deja vu.

- We were friends!

- What's wrong with you, Mills?

Are you insane?

- You were at my wedding!

- So you probably
have questions.

- I wanna know everything.

- I'm not taking that.

- Look, one of us is
going in there with a gun.

You really want it to be me?

- There is no need
to rob a bank.

At midnight it will be gone.

Anything we buy with it, gone.

- The reason we
need to rob a bank,

is because you still
think there is a bank.

There is no bank.

Okay, the sooner you get
that through your head,

the sooner we can do
what needs to be done.

You want a purpose?

You want this to mean something?

Give me your shoelace.

- Why?

- You can't rob a
bank without a plan.

- The feeling goes away.

- Okay, I'm just gonna say it.

You're a really big dude,

and if that's awkward,
I'm okay with it.

- So you said that a big
black guy showed up, after,

with a van.

How big?

- Real big.

- Bigger than me.

- Yeah.

- I can't imagine
your calorie count.

I mean, it's probably
costing you a fortune.

- And you think by killing
Foust, this would fix this?

- We weren't trying to kill her.

We were trying to
catch her in the act.

- This morning?

This morning your
friend killed Foust.

- What?

- Oh, I meant to tell you,

but he got in and he was so big.

I heard it on the radio.

- Harper.

What happened to her?

- Oh, she's very much in jail.

- So if the day keeps going now,

Harper, she's going away.

So what now?

- Now most people think
it's hard to rob a bank,

but it's not.

But we are in Texas,

so your job is to look
out for the gun nuts.

- Patrice] Can I help you?

- Yes, you are?

- Patrice.

Tell me, Patrice,

who's that?

- Meredith?

- Meredith.

Tell me, how long do you think
Meredith can hold her breath?

- What?

- What like 30 seconds?

60 seconds?

Is she a swimmer?

She doesn't look it.

- I'm sorry I'm
not understanding.

- You know, I'm gonna
guess 60 seconds.

Which is good for both of you.

- Sir?

- 60 seconds, Patrice.

Empty the register!

Come on, Patrice, money, now!

Hurry it up, Patrice!

Hurry it up, Patrice!

Come on, hurry, hurry!

- Where do I put it?

- I don't know, find
something, problem solve.

Find something, put
the money in it.

Hey, buddy, you wanna
control the room?

- Ma'am!

Ma'am!

- What are you doing?

- She's choking!

- Oh, Patrice, I don't know,

looks like Meredith's
tapping out here.

Where we at with money?

- I got some.

- Some, is it enough, Patrice?

- I don't know.

Yes.

- Get the money.

What did I tell you about
controlling the room?

He's wearing a cowboy hat,
that didn't give this guy away?

Shoot him!

Forget to count?

Give me that.

- No!

- He's not gonna
die, not really.

- No.

- Get the money.

Grab your shoe.

- Sorry.

- Really?

You locked the doors
on our getaway car?

Take your time we're
not in a hurry.

It's not bad.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?

- Calm down, we don't need it.

- Why did we just
go through that,

if you're gonna throw
it out the window?

- Money isn't the point.

The point is, that our actions
no longer have consequences.

Rob the bank, blow up the
bank, do nothing to the bank.

It means nothing.

Do something good, do something
bad, it doesn't matter.

You think saving a girl
or stopping a bad guy

will make a difference?

No.

There's only one way,
through this thing,

and that's what we have to do.

You want all this to end?

Then you have to
embrace what it is?

- So what is it?

- Rebirth.

- [Mills?] That him?

- Yes.

- Wow.

You guys have gotten tangled
up with some really bad people.

You don't know what
he does for her?

- No.

We didn't get the
chance to talk.

- All right, wait
here, I'll be back.

- I'll go too.

- Nah, you can't go in there.

- What, why?

- 'Cause those are
hardcore gangsters,

and you're just so, you.

- Hey, I can be tough.

I can be tough.

- Evening, officer.

- What's up, big boy?

- Oh, you know,

it goes.

- Yeah, it does.

- You get a new partner?

He's annoying.

- It's been an interesting day,

but I've got a story for you.

- Po-po's always coming up
with stories for brothers.

- Why don't you put
your hands on the table?

You're making me uncomfortable.

- This morning, a woman
was murdered in her car.

Turns out, it was
a congresswoman.

Did you hear about that?

- I heard something.

- Well, Sergeant wants
to be very thorough.

'Cause I mean, this
is national news.

So he sends a bunch of us
out to her home and office,

and there we find
these hard drives,

well now, they're encrypted,

but our boys are able to
crack through some of it.

You wanna take a guess
at whose name pops up?

No?

Dwayne Joseph Hicks.

And I was telling
the boys, like,

yo, I know that guy.

We went to school together.

I mean, you were supposed to
play pro ball, but you didn't.

Instead, you became
a business man.

So I asked myself,

why would the name,
Dwayne Joseph Hicks

end up on a
congresswoman's hard drive?

And you know what they said?

- Not a clue.

- Nothing.

Still don't know yet.

They're still encrypted.

But I'm a very curious person.

- I'll see you around.

- So how'd it go?

- Fantastic.

- Now we wait.

Looks like we're
going somewhere.

- Need a lift?

- What is this?

- Needed a new car.

You like baseball, right?

You know the thing about Jesus?

He understood the
rules of this world.

He would go to some
town, set up somewhere,

explain the rules and
people would leave

their homes and jobs behind,

because in the end, that's
anybody really wants.

Gotta understand their
place in all this.

And now there's you.

How old are you?

- 28.

- Close, if you were 30
that would be creepy.

- What's at 30?

- When Jesus went to work.

- All right, you gotta go in.

- What?

- They don't know
what you look like.

For all they know, you're
just another person

looking at a storage unit.

When you go in, just get
the storage unit number.

And if you can, find out what
is it that they're looking--

- Okay, look, I'm not the guy.

Okay, I do counseling.

- And she's great.

- I follow.

The other people, they
come up with the plan,

I'm just a part.

- In the academy
we have a saying,

you know the difference between
a normal person and a hero?

- Super powers.

- Movement.

- You know, you and Jesus
actually have a lot in common.

You're not like anybody else.

You're not a part of this world.

Not anymore, at least.

You're limitless,
you can do whatever.

Anything that you want.

Change things, change
time, do miracles.

Both of you have disciples.

You know, you're
little friends, me.

I'm a believer, man.

I mean, you have a purpose,
a reason for being.

But just like Jesus,
it's hard to see it,

until it's right
in front of you.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hey, hey, hey,

-I need to see some I.
-D, please.

- Hi, Bill.

- What are you doing here?

- Bill, take the
night off, go home.

- I can't, this is my job.

- Bill, listen to me.

This is one of those nights
you're gonna wanna be at home.

- Why does Bill wanna
be at home tonight?

- You and Jesus have
a lot in common.

And just like Jesus, you
are gonna bring people

from darkness into
glorious light.

But to do that,

Jesus had to die.

- Problems?

- No, I'm fine.

Looking for my keys.

- Oh.

- What is this?

- Look, there are four rules,

One, the day starts
over at midnight.

Two, you can't change anything,
everything goes back to one.

Three, when you die,
the day starts over.

And four, when people die
with you, they wake up.

We're gonna wake up the world.

- You sure you got
the right unit?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's mine.

Think I just brought
the wrong keys.

- Right, right, right, right,
right, well, that's funny,

because that one is
mine, that one, that one,

and that one, and that one,

and this one, and
this one, right here.

So I'm gonna ask you again,
what are you really doing here?

- No!

- Look, look, okay?

You wanted a reason, this is it.

This is it!

Imagine a world where
everyone is awake.

Where there are no consequences,

where people can do anything,
everything they want.

No judgment, no aftermath,

become the animals
they truly are.

Absolute freedom.

And you're gonna give--

- This can't be it.

- It's too late,
we're already here.

And you better get used to it,

because you're gonna
have to die, every day.

You're gonna have to die, so
that everybody else can live.

- Hey, hey, what are
you really doing here?

- We can't do this!

Don't do this!
- Stop, stop!

- Can't do this!
- Stop!

It's over.
- Screw this!

- Be quiet, it's done,
this is done, it's over!

You understand that?

This is done, this is happening.

Okay?

Now it's okay to
freak out a little.

I mean, even Jesus
sweat blood, okay?

Look, it's all set.

You die, you resurrect.

It won't hurt.

They won't feel a thing.

Now look, I wanna
do this together.

This is your purpose,

but I can't pull it for you.

- Princess, we don't
have a lot of time.

And you definitely don't
have a lot of time.

What are you doing here?

What do you know?

- You want me to
take it off of her?

- No.

- Who is it?

- There's no escaping this.

We can do this everyday.

- Hi.

I told you I'd see you again.

Hi.

You've looked better.

- Now, you good?

- Yeah, yeah.

Well, let's see
what we have here.

- Hello.

- Hey.

Papaw,

it's me.

- Boy?

- I know it's late.

- Yeah, yeah, is
everything all right?

- Yeah.

- Why are you calling me?

- Yeah, I'm sorry,

were you sleeping?

- You know me, I
fell asleep reading.

Do you need to come over?

Hello?

- I tried to do something.

Something right.

And things have
escalated, badly.

And I don't think there's
any going back now.

- Maybe you should
come over and talk.

I can make coffee.

- Papaw, I tried
to do something,

and now

there are monsters.
