Dare Me (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Shock & Awe - full transcript

Previously, on "Dare Me"...

We can't be here.

We can never have been here
at all.

Your shoes-- Addy,
where are your cheer shoes?

- You give her too much power.
Stop feeding the beast.

Beth?

Did somebody
do something to you?

- Colette, are you okay?
What happened?

- We both know
once they start digging

into Sarge Will's
puny little life

they're gonna find
something interesting.



It's like turning over a rock

and all these ugly things
wriggle out.

How come you never choose me?

What does she have
that I don't?

- She isn't you.

- I fell into a dream.

A beautiful dream.

I didn't wanna leave
the dream.

Addy, where is you Hamsa?

- You're stumbling, Addy.

- It's bad, Addy.

- Addy.

Addy.

Hey.



- You better be wearing
your Hamsa today,

'cause shit is going down.

What?

My Hamsa?
- Guess what I'm doing.

Reading the actual newspaper.

I thought the old lady
would faint.

"Do you even know what that is,
darling daughter?"

The morning wit
in the Cassidy household.

- What's it say?

- "A police source reported
growing suspicions

"after autopsy results
raised questions

"about the gun's trajectory.

"One source also indicated
gunshot residue tests

on the victim's hands
showed only trace amounts."

Fuck me, Hanlon.

You wait your whole life
for something to happen,

and then, suddenly it does.

I never wanted to hurt him--
to hurt Matt.

We-- we didn't text,
we didn't talk.

We used this app.
The messages weren't stored.

Now that he's gone,
there's nothing left, Addy.

There's nothing
that connects us.

- What if someone was there
before we were?

- We would've known.

We would've been able to tell.

- The cops can tell.

My mom said they've been
looking at everything.

- Your mom...

she's working on the case?

- Everyone is.
It's a big deal.

Coach, it's getting bigger
every day.

What if they find out about us?

We could just tell them.

Finding a body's not a crime.

- Is that what you want, Addy?

Sitting in
an interrogation room...

telling a cop what you saw...

What you did?

And then telling your mom?

I won't let you
go through that.

I won't.

I know how hard this is.

Hey, it is hard for me, too.

I can't get it out of my head,
any of it.

- No, tell him double
if he'll rush it.

Well, now that Sutton Grove's
finest is done,

we gotta just
throw some bleach in there

and get that baby
rented out again.

And get the locksmith
in there, too.

We gotta fix that door before
the ghouls start lurking.

Beth Ann.

The prodigal--
or maybe I'm the prodigal

after my shameful conduct

at that restaurant
in Cleveland.

- Skip it.

It's water under
the slowly sinking bridge.

But if we were to say,
quantify it,

how broken up are you, Pops?

I don't know.

I did the crimes,
I'll do the time.

Champ, you wanna catch

a second breakfast
with the old man?

The place in the lobby
has really upped their game.

You'll have to pay.
I'm a little light.

- I'm good.
I got everything I need.

- You let me know
if you don't.

Hey,
last game tomorrow night.

I'll be there, of course.

Can you believe we're--
we're finally here?

- I can.

Beth Ann, I-- I,

I see it, you know?

I see it,
and it takes my breath away--

how good you've gotten.

She made you tougher.
She make you stronger.

- She didn't.

I did.

Sorry, I--
I'm on the wrong floor.

- Aren't we all, honey?

It's easy to get lost,
isn't it?

I knew it wasn't suicide.

Didn't get into it
with the cops.

I hate cops.

Wanna hear my theory?

- Absolutely.

- Serial killer.

Huntin' down Marines.

Everyone's political
these days.

- There's only one Marine,
though.

- No.

There was always
the other one, hulking around.

Spooky looking one.

Big guy, darty eyes.

Reminded me of my ex.

Well, before he got hauled off

for three to seven
in Chillicothe.

- Well, if there was
a serial killer

targeting Marines,

sounds like he'd be one
well worth taking out.

Crime of passion's
a much more plausible theory.

If you believe what you hear
about that girlfriend.

- The blonde?

Sure.

- She around much?

- I mind my business.

We all take our comforts
as we may.

Pretty, though.

But twitchy.
Always in a rush.

- You seen her lately?

Like...maybe the night

he shuffled off
this mortal coil?

- Look at you, Sam Spade.

No, I haven't seen her
in a while.

She always looked
too high hat for this joint

Figured she had her fun
and moved on.

Didn't I see you here before?

- No.

You must have me confused
with someone else.

No.

- Morning, miss.

I guess somebody's parents
complained.

They think it's morbid.

You know, now that
he was murdered.

- But we don't really know,
do we?

- Well, tell that to them.

- Cops.
- Yeah.

Actual, real detectives.

I wonder who's next.

- Colette French?
- Yes.

- We're hoping you might be
able to answer a few questions.

- Of course.

I'm sorry it's such a mess.

I am usually
much more organized than this.

- Miss French, we tried
to reach you over the phone.

- You-- you did?

I-- that can't be.
I didn't--

- Your home phone.

- The landline.

We don't--
- That's the only number

that we had
under your registration.

Florida plates.

Are you just passing
through town, Miss French?

- No.

Look, what--
what is this about?

- It's about the other night.

- Your little misadventure.

- I don't know what you mean.

- You seem a little nervous.

You thought you'd
gotten away with it?

A week ago, Tuesday.

Last Tuesday?

Cameras caught everything.
They always do.

- I don't understand--

Matt.

- You the husband?

- Yeah, I'm the husband

who wants to know what
you're doing here with my wife.

- Your wife ran into
a light pole on Revere,

by the liquor store.

Took a bite out of it.

- Cameras caught it.
License plate and all.

That's a misdemeanor.
Evading responsibility.

You know what those light poles
cost taxpayers?

- I'll pay for it.

I--

I will pay for everything.

Well, thank you, officers.
I'm sorry.

I swear, I didn't think
I'd done any damage.

- 'Cause you never bothered
to look back.

Let that be
a lesson to you, Miss.

There are cameras everywhere.

- I-- I promise
I learned my lesson.

- And it's the funniest thing,
that, CCTV footage,

it looked for all the world

like you drove into
that light pole on purpose,

like nothing could stop you.

Well, you have a nice evening.
Both of you.

- I'm gonna need a minute.

[E-Cig's "Cut Your Bangs"]

- Don't tell me
you still have that box.

Bert and his cigars.

What would Freud say?

Cuban by way of Tijuana.
Remember that smell?

- Slave labor
and Bain de Soleil?

We gotta hang that up
down here.

Along with the heads
of your victims.

- Don't think there's room.

- It was so great
seeing you out there, Bethie.

Seeing you up on top,
where you belong.

That coach of yours,
she's doing something right.

- That's what everyone seems
to think.

- You don't like her.
- Don't trust her.

- That tracks.

That tracks.
- What do you mean?

- Did I tell you
I saw her once?

About a week or two ago,

before I knew who she was.

Pretty blonde, standing outside
a convenience store.

Couldn't even light
her own cigarette.

Her hands were shaking so bad.

I played Sir Galahad.
- Good Samaritan.

I wanted to help her out.

She reminded me
of someone I once knew.

Someone so beautiful
and so hungry

that she thought she should
get everything she wanted.

People like that are dangerous.

- Dangerous?

- Because...

the beauty goes away,

but the hunger only grows

and nobody gets
everything they want.

You gotta decide
what's worth keeping...

and what's worth trading.

[Pisces' "Dear One"]

- Listen, I'm really sorry
I can't make the game tonight.

- It's okay.
I get it.

- It's just-- we're all
pulling double shifts now,

with everything.

- Yeah.

Bye.

- How is it possible
that we've never actually met?

- Well, it sure feels
like we already have.

I mean, Addy talks about you
all the time.

You've had a big impact on her.

- I'm-- I'm glad.

You know, she's so talented.

So disciplined.

Few girls her age have that.

She must get it from you.

- Maybe.

Though I've never been past
the county limits,

and Addy is just itching
to get out there

in that big, bad world.

- You're worried about her.
I get that.

But I guess that
there's trouble everywhere.

God, I mean, look what happened
to that recruiter

right here in Sutton Grove.

- I'm aware.

- This is the first place
that I've been

that had recruiters stationed
right in the school.

There was something
unnerving about it.

I mean, the one who died,
he seemed okay,

but the other one...

I-- I think his name
was Kurtz...

I didn't like what I saw.

- What did you see?

- Attentions.

To my girls.

I told them
to keep their distance.

I hope they did, but...

I heard things.

- Is that right?

- I look out for my girls.

That age, all that beauty,
all that longing...

It is so easy

to find yourself
in dark places.

- I'm surprised
you wanted to talk to me.

- I don't.

Ever.

So cut to the chase.

I know
your dirty little secret.

You've been squatting
at The Towers, haven't you?

In that model apartment.

Across from Sarge Will's.

You don't really live there.

- Who cares?

That building's a ghost town.

- Well, one more ghost now.

So you're gonna tell me

everything you heard
that night.

The night Sarge Will bit it.

- I didn't hear
a goddamn thing.

- No, those walls
are paper thin.

You said so yourself.

So thin,
you couldn't take me there...

'Cause the neighbors
might hear me scream.

Well, it turns out no one did,

that night at the Playland.

We teenage girls
and our selfies.

- Look, I-- I can--
I-- I was drunk.

I-- I didn't--
I don't know--

I-- I didn't.
- You did.

So either you start talking...

Or I do.

And I won't ever stop.

- Look who's joining
the party.

- What's going on?

- Corporal Kurtz here
shares my opinion

of our esteemed coach.

Tell her.

Tell her what you just told me.

She needs to start facing
some hard truths.

Everything in life can't always
be clean and pretty.

Go ahead, spill.

I'd heard them before,

even saw her a few times.

Once by the elevators,
looking through the peephole.

Sunday night,
I was coming home around 11.

Walked down that long hall--

that's how
I could hear them inside.

Something didn't sound right.

It was mostly shouting.

A lot...of shouting.

I thought something may be up.

He sounded...ragged.

But then it was just like
it usually was.

Headboard banging
like a jackhammer.

Fuck.

I left.

To be honest, I--

the two of them,
it made me sad.

I mean, it was
a fucked up situation.

You could tell

that something bad
was gonna happen.

Things running that hot--

I'm not saying that

she did something to him--
- You are.

- Well, he's obviously lying.

- No, I'm not.

And I'm not saying she--

I just didn't like it.

Hearing them.

I bailed, made my way
to a bar down the road

before any gunshot.

I-- I had my problems
with the Sarge.

A lot of 'em.

But he didn't deserve
to go out like that.

He was all caught up in her.

And-- and she--
- We know what she's like.

The effect she can have
on people.

- Is this over?

- It's over.

It's over for you.

Get out.

- What the hell's
wrong with you?

Why are you talking to him?

- Wake up, Addy.

You can lie to everyone else,

but you can't lie to me.

Truth will out.

[Robotanists' "Warpath"]

[Sleater-Kinney's
"Surface Envy"]

Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!

- Let's go, Eagles!

- Direct your attention
to midfield for the coin toss.

- This is such bullshit.

The crowd's here
to see us not them

- I need to talk to you.

- Now is not a good time.

- Coin toss goes
to Sutton Grove.

But before we begin tonight,

many of
the students here knew

Sergeant William H. Mosley

as a mentor, a friend.

And we want
to mark his passing tonight.

One of his trusted men,
PFC James Tibbs,

will lead us
in a moment of silence.

- Sergeant Mosley...

You will not be forgotten.

You will not be forgotten!

- Thank you, and good luck
tonight, Sutton Grove.

- Kurtz is saying things
about you.

Stuff that doesn't make sense
to me.

- You're gonna listen to Kurtz?

I told you,
I have this under control.

Okay?
- You keep saying that.

But Coach,
you called me that night.

And you brought me into
this horrible thing,

and you owe me the truth.
- You know the truth.

I know what's happening here.
This is Beth.

She has you brainwashed,
and she always has.

You need to grow up
and cut her loose.

It's time, Addy.

Okay!

Attack, attack
that quarterback.

Knock him flat,
right on his back.

Attack, attack
that quarterback.

Knock him flat,
right on his back.

Ready?

Okay!

Attack, attack
that quarterback.

- Ready!
- Knock him flat,

right on his back.

- Down!

25's a Mike!
25's a Mike!

- Read, set, hike!

Touchdown!

- Yes!
- Yes!

- Let's go!

- I don't wanna jinx it,
but I think there's a chance

we could actually
win this game.

I forgot,
did you play in high school?

- No, no.
Tennis team.

- Well,
there's a little insight

into Matt French's past, right?

Non-stop!

We're taking it to the top.

- Prep school, locked jaw,
gin and tonics.

Am I right?

Class act.
Speaking of class acts,

there's our rainmaker,
our power broker.

Play nice.
- Just a mom today.

All right.

Non-stop!
We're takin' it to the top!

- You'll see.

That'll be your
baby girl down there

before you know it.

Never knew
I had so many feelings

until I had them.

We're takin' it
to the top!

Non-stop!

- One minute,
it's all about you.

Your career, your dreams,

your ambitions.

And then suddenly,
they're there.

And you'd do anything for them,

to protect them.

- The things we do for them.

To make up for
the things we do to them.

- Okay, squad.
Who's ready?

Dead Man's Fall.

The quick and dirty one.

Guns out, bitches.

- We're taking the field?
- Next jump-out.

- But Coach--
- Yeah, shouldn't we ask her?

- You wanna ask Coach
if she can help us

with our Dead Man?

- Timeout, Bobcats.

- That's our cue.

You ready, Addy?

Sure hope you catch me
when I fall.

Guns up till sunup!

Gotta get our guns up!

Guns up till sunup!

Ain't nobody
gonna fuck with us!

Guns up till sunup!

Gonna get our guns up!

Ain't nobody gonna stop us!

Guns up till sunup!

Gotta get our guns up!

Ain't nobody gonna stop us!

Eyes on your girl.

- Sutton Grove,
coming back strong

after that time out.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
What's the holdup?

Kurtz?

- And that's the game, folks.

Eagles for the win.

- Addy.

Addy.
- Stop.

- Addy--
- I said stop, Beth.

- Addy, where is your Hamsa?

- What is it with you
and this fucking bracelet?

- Wait, you mean the bracelet
that I gave to you

and that you gave to her?

- I didn't.

- Your lies, Addy, you can't
even keep track of them.

Addy, wake the fuck up,
please.

You were there.

Somehow, Addy,

somehow you were there.

- No, I wasn't.

You don't know everything.

Okay?
And you don't control me.

- No, I know
just who controls you.

- I control me.

And you need to stop this.

You have to stop this
for me.

- This is for you, okay?

You think that she's gonna
protect you, she won't.

She does whatever she wants
and she takes and she takes,

and she--
- That's you, Beth!

That's you.

You take.

- Is that what you think?

Is that
what you actually think?

- Yeah.

- Well, I guess we'll see,
won't we?

We'll see if she's worth it.

If she's got your back
like I always had.

Eyes on my girl, Addy.

We'll see what she says
when the detectives

ask about the bracelet.

Your bracelet.

The one that they found
at the crime scene.

- What?

What did you just say?

That's not true.

That's not true.
- Addy.

- And even if it was,

how would you know that?

How could you possibly
fucking know that, Beth?

- We won!
- This is insane!

- Yeah, it is.

- There's gonna be
a rager at Lanvers,

partying over the abyss.

- The abyss.

The abyss.

C'est moi.

Let's go, my band of bitches.

Whoo!

[Savages' "Adore"]

- The heart can take you
all kinds of places.

Beautiful places.

Haunted places.

Places of risk and pain.

- But the heart
can also deceive you.

- That's something
I learned the hard way.

- What is it?
What are you looking for?

- The Hamsa bracelet.

- That red thing?

- The one that Addy gave me.

- So what?

- I have to find it.

- Why?
- Because I might have

left it behind at his place.

When we were there.

- My God.

- Don't trust your heart.

Don't trust anyone.

- Stay strong.

Seal up all your feelings.

- Fight to the end.
