Day of the Dead (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

Previously, on
"Day of The Dead"...

This was supposed to be
the happiest day...

of my life!

Dad!

Dad, are you okay?

You want me to find
pain meds?

Or do you want to trick Jai into
writing a prescription again?

They can be saved.

Get it off me!

You saved us.

Trey was...
the love of my life.



He was...

He um... he was...
he was...

Trey Bowman gave his life
to save the rest of us.

He was a husband
and a father,

but to us he's a hero.

And his suffering is over.

He's in a better place now.

You know what?

Actually, I don't know
where he is.

I mean, I used to think
that when you die, that's it.

But after today I don't know
what to think.

A lot of people... who were
supposedly in a better place

are walking around
trying to kill us.

And Trey died trying
to stop one of them.



We owe it to him
to survive this.

We owe it to everyone
that we've lost.

That's how we honor them.

By staying alive.

What're you doing?

We have to, Luke.

We can't take any chances.

What're you talking about?

He hasn't come back.
He's dead.

Everyone who's come back
has been dead.

It sucks, but do you think
he would want to come back

as one of those things?

We don't even know
how this works yet.

We have no idea
what's going on.

You can't just torch my dad!

It's them or us,
son.

I'm not your son.

I'm his son.

Mom.

- Luke.
- Don't talk to me.

Oh, hey.

Uh... just gotta deal with
this bag of Mindy here, so...

My deepest condolences
on your loss.

All right.

*DAY OF THE DEAD*
Season 01 Episode 07

Episode Title:
"Their Evil Was Our Evil"

Aired on:
November 26, 2021.

Head shots don't do shit.

You gotta make 'em crawl,
like this.

That had to be
about half a mile.

Goddamn, I'm good!
Whoo!

Hey.

I'm not sure what your dad
used to drink

but my dad seemed
to like these.

I think they're good.

And... that is why you don't knock
the cargo shorts.

Remember that time your dad
took us to Hershey Park?

We made him ride the Sidewinder
with us like six times?

Couldn't stop puking.

I remember we'd be in line
and he'd just be like...

Last time I saw him I told him
he was pathetic.

So what?
We're teenagers.

People expect us to say
dumb shit we don't mean.

Yeah, I meant it.

When my mom got sick I spent
months telling her about

how much I loved her,

how great I thought she was,
all that.

And when she died
all I could think about

was all the horrible shit I had
said to her before she got sick.

Man, why do you always
do shit like that?

What?

Somehow, once again, my life
is about making you feel better.

Look, I was just trying to say
whatever you said to your dad,

- he knew you loved him.
- How?

You had months to say goodbye
to your mom.

I didn't get a chance.

Yeah, well at least I'm here!

Where were you when my mom died?

- Paula, there you are.
- Nope.

You were right,
I see that now.

Paula, you don't understand.

I should have listened to you
from the beginning.

Then maybe Trey
wouldn't have died‐

Hey! Shut up!

You hear me?

Okay, I'm sorry.

I just wanted you to know
I'm on your side.

You've got nothing to worry
about from me, I swear.

I will never tell anyone
about Luke.

Go to the front.

See if they need help
boarding up the windows.

Shit.

Jesus, Herb.

What are you doing?
Get outta here!

- I'm gonna get Jai.
- No!

No.

Somebody needs
to stitch that up,

and it sure as hell
isn't you.

Not Jai.

I don't want him
to see me like this.

You're one stubborn son
of a bitch, you know that?

Give it to me.

Here.

I didn't take it.

I mean, I took it,
but I didn't take it.

Why are you such
an asshole?

Why do you blame everybody
for all your problems?

I needed help.

And you sent me to jail.

Because of me
you got clean.

You got a job.

What would have happened
if you went to rehab?

Hmm?

You'd have been out after
60 days and you'd be back

tricking some other pathetic
doctor into filling your script.

Woah, easy.

That stuff hits hard.

Yeah.

Whew.

You wanted help.

I give it to you.

Fuck you.

What the hell is happening?

What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

I have actual patients
to treat.

No, you don't.
Everyone's stable.

I already checked.

You can't keep avoiding me.

I'm afraid of what
I wanna say.

Just say it.

Maybe we're not supposed
to get married.

Maybe today was, I don't know,
some... some sort of sign.

Come on.

Things have been weird
between us for weeks now.

You noticed it.

And this morning I tried
to talk to you about

delaying the wedding for my
parents and you shut me down.

My mom and my dad weren't going
to be at my own wedding.

I... I just... I panicked,
okay?

I just... I feel like you've
been pulling away from me,

and if we could
just get married

and get the wedding behind us
everything would be okay.

I just...

Maybe I was.

But Christ, Amy, ever since
we started dating

your dad's taken every
opportunity to remind me

that I'm not the guy he would
have chosen for you.

That's not true.

Yeah, it is.

He wanted you to be
with Shawn.

He said it at our wedding.

I just wanted...

I just wanted you just one time
to be on my side.

Even now you can't do it.

You're right.

I just... just tell me
what to do and I'll do it.

No, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not your dad.

You have to figure out
what you want.

If I wanted to marry Shawn
I would have married Shawn.

I want you. I want
to marry you.

Are you sure?

Because I spend too much time
with each patient,

and I don't... I don't care
about the bottom line.

There's a pretty good chance
that some other drug addict

might trick me into writing them
a prescription for opioids‐

When we get through this,

the first thing we're doing
is getting married.

Holy fuck!

Asshole! You weren't supposed
to let me do that.

What the hell are you doing?

Were you just yelling
at your hand?

What? No.

I was drinking that,
but it's cool, I guess.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I'm just testing something,
I guess.

Okay.

Well, if you're going crazy

I want to let you know
you can tell me.

Depression is a mental illness
just like anything else.

If you're having thoughts
of self‐harm

I want you to let me know
before anything happens. - Okay,

cool it on the PSA,
all right?

I'm good.

But thanks.

That was really nice,
what you said at Trey's um...

whatever that was.

Yeah, I didn't think
my first solo funeral

would be at a dumpster.

How's Luke holding up?

I don't know.

Not good.

Can I ask you something?

Do I make other people's shit
about me?

Oh, yeah. It's super
annoying.

I'm joking.

What's going on?

All I want is for Luke to know
that I'm there for him.

That he can be real
with me.

But every time I try
to talk to him

I just end up
pissing him off.

Hey, you don't have
to prove

that you understand
how he's feeling.

Just listen.

Sometimes being there
for someone

means just being there.

Like I am for you.

There's uh, soda dripping
down my shirt.

I know.

You're welcome.

I hate you!

I hate you back.

You always say that.

Get your tongue out of
that boy's mouth.

He's your brother.

But he does got a good
ass on him.

You picked the wrong house
to break into, motherfuck...

Sarah.

Hey, Grandnana.
The door was open.

Hey Logan!

Logan, where the hell
are you?

Shut the hell up!

Doctor Frankenstein isn't around
to save your ass.

Looks like I'm running
the monkey farm, now.

Guess it's just you
and me, bub.

That was some
dramatic entrance.

Yeah, sorry about that.

No.

It was a real treat.

I haven't heard from you
in three years,

and you break into my house
and pass out on my floor.

Granny, I‐

I'm just messing with you.

What's the point of being
a grandmother

if I can't guilt trip you
once in a while?

You hungry?

I can't believe you're working
for that company.

You know, the chemicals
they use

leech into the water table,
that's a fact.

Jerry Norwood down the road,

he was smoking
while brushing his teeth

and his tap water caught
on fire.

Why was he smoking
while brushing his teeth?

You're missing my point.

Big tobacco isn't the problem.

You know, if you'd kept
your mouth shut

you'd still be in the army.

You wouldn't be back
here again

working for scumbags
like Cleargenix.

Yeah, well you taught me
right from wrong.

I should have taught you
that no one likes a narc.

Your life would have been
a lot easier.

I didn't come here to talk
about the army.

Where the hell
did you get that?

Oh, come on.

They're only about half
a mile out.

They ain't moving fast
but there's a lot of them.

You take whatever
and whoever you need.

Buy us as much time
as you can.

All right.

Dammit!

Doctor Fisher,
what is going on?

I'll tell you what's going on.

We got looters.

I knew this would happen.

It's toy jewelry, Bobby.

Doesn't mean it's free.

It says it right there
on the machine, 25 cents.

You want a quarter?
Here.

Have a quarter!

Not me, numb nuts.

I'm not the owner
of the machine.

Okay, just sh... shut up
about the quarter.

Jai, what is this about?

Amy and I were supposed
to get married today

and then all this happened
and we lost the rings

and everything else.

I know it's not the same
as a wedding, but...

we love each other,
and, well, I figured uh,

I don't know if we're gonna live
to see tomorrow

but I do know if I die, I wanna
die as her husband.

Goddamn, that's
some romantic shit right there.

I know, I'm sorry, there...

there are bigger things
to worry about right now.

Hit me on the walkie as soon
as those things arrive.

Yep.

You come with me.

You got
Trent's phone.

You know what to do.

Hey, Trent, man.
It's me, it's Luke.

Um, I'm just calling to see
if you're okay.

Uh, everybody's here at the...
at the Paymart, man.

The whole town's here.
You gotta get here.

Why'd you run away, man?

Um... I'm just calling to see
if you're still...

if you're good.

I just can't handle any more
people dying.

My dad, uh... uh...

Yeah, anyway, just give me
a call or a text

if you're uh... if you're okay.

Just let me know.
Thanks, man. Bye.

You're lucky to be alive.
You know that?

What was that thing?
What did we find?

Something you should have
left buried.

Grandnana, whatever you know,
I need you to tell me.

I was just a kid,
maybe six or seven,

when my great‐grandmother
told me a story

that her great‐grandmother
had told her.

An old story from when the
whites first came to our land.

They built their little
settlement not far from here

and for a short time our people
traded with their people.

You know, all that
happy bullshit

they teach you
in their schools.

Then the Europeans started
dying, one after another.

Ripped apart as if devoured
by an animal.

But it wasn't an animal.

It was this thing.

The white folks, the ones
that were left,

told of a man,
one of their own,

who had died shortly after
arriving in this new world.

He was given a Christian burial.

All the good that did.

The settlers, they begged help
from our people.

The Lenape knew
that once the monsters

had feasted upon the Europeans
they would come for us.

Their evil was our evil.

We helped them?

We had no choice.

Together, the settlers and
the Lenape were able to destroy

all of the living dead,
but it wasn't easy.

You cut them in two,
both halves kept coming.

They had to be destroyed.

They stopped them all,
except one.

The first one.

Cooper, they called him.

They didn't know
what to do with him.

He was the source, you see.
He started it all.

He wasn't like the others.

Whatever was in him
could be passed on.

The whites claimed
he was chosen.

Marked.

Cursed.

They were a pretty
uptight bunch,

you know, Jesus and Satan
and all that.

They were afraid
to destroy him.

They thought it would
only spread the curse.

So our ancestors decided
to help.

They placed this over his face
as a warning

and sealed him in a cave
north of the river.

And that's where he's been
ever since.

Why didn't you ever tell me
about this?

I didn't believe
all that crap.

I thought it was just a story
told to us native kids

to let us know that white people
were stupid

and it was our job to keep them
from killing us all.

Obviously it wasn't.

You said they couldn't destroy
the first one?

Wouldn't.

But McDermott did.

He lit it up like a bonfire.

He died doing it.

Maybe it's done.

It's over.

Maybe.

Shut up!

Shut your fucking hole!

Jesus.

You really are a monster.

I told that bitch doctor

she shouldn't be messing
around with this.

Things like you
shouldn't exist.

Try all you want, asshole!

My men helped build
that cage.

You ain't getting
out of there.

Uh... uh...

Oh shit.

Yeah... hey... just
messing around, man.

Huh?

Why don't you give me the gun,
okay?

Just hand it over.

Careful.

Careful, now.

Um, yeah.

Easy.

You don't wanna
hurt anyone.

Holy fuck!

Fuck!!!

I can't help thinking...

if I hadn't called the cops that
thing would still be in the hole

and none of this would
have happened.

You did what you did.
There's no sense fixating on it.

When am I gonna learn
to just keep my head down

and look the other way?

Your life would be a hell
of a lot easier.

You know, I... I never would
have been discharged,

I wouldn't have been on the crew
to begin with.

Sarah, you wanna know why most
people don't do the right thing?

Because it would cost
them something.

Bad people don't wanna be called
out for doing bad shit.

Why does it always
have to be me?

It doesn't.

Just find yourself a new job
and keep your mouth shut.

Forget what happened out
at that drill site.

It's someone else's problem.

But McDermott died
stopping that thing.

Don't I owe it to him
to tell somebody

what Cleargenix is
doing out there?

Girl, this town's got
a 300‐year‐old history

of not giving a shit
about us.

You don't owe anything
to anyone.

Go ahead, throw it in the fire.

Forget all this ever happened.

Tomorrow you can borrow my car
and get away from this place.

Find yourself a new life.

I'm going to bed.

Love you, kiddo.

Hey, anyone!

We got a situation here!

You two, grab your guns,
you're coming with me.

Logan's little toy just escaped
from its cage.

Give me that.

Grab your own.

Let's go monster hunting.

Ugh.

Dang.

There he is!

Where is he?

Oh man, this isn't good.

You... you need to find him,
okay, because he's after me!

Just... just go!

Oh shit.

Come on.

Oh shit.

Are you sure about
this?

I've never been more sure of
anything in my life.

Is there really enough time
for this?

Love is what makes
life worth living.

Stop.

Forget I asked.

I know this isn't the day
you envisioned.

Trey and I were married
for 23 years.

Sorry.

And if there is one thing that
I've learned about marriage,

it's that things will never turn
out the way you think they will.

So in some ways, this is
actually the perfect day

for you to start
your journey together.

When this day began
you were two separate people

living two separate lives.

This morning you had no idea
what today would bring.

Life is like that.

We have no control over
what comes with each dawn.

Every sunrise brings with it
a new mystery.

We lie to ourselves,

thinking we know
how it'll all turn out.

But things change.

Fate intervenes.

But what you two have chosen
to do today...

means you will never

have to go through those things
alone again.

That's marriage.

It is making a commitment to
face the challenges of each day

head on together.

What the hell?

No matter what surprises
today throws at you...

Hey Dad, I'm leaving!

For work!

At least you know...
you're not alone.

Now, you go and you love
each other as hard as you can

for as long as you can.

You don't let anything
come between you.

Do you think you can
do that?

Yeah.

I do.

I do, too.

Then by the power vested in me
by the State of Pennsylvania,

I now pronounce you,
husband and wife.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Are you kidding me?

Luke?

Yeah, what a load of horse shit.

Love as hard as you can?

You are such a hypocrite.
Your marriage was a joke!

You keep your voice down.

Why? Why?

Are you afraid everybody
in this town

is gonna finally realize
how full of shit you are?

I loved your father!

What? How?

By cutting him down literally
every time he opened his mouth?

You know, I'm glad
he was screwing Nicole.

God, at least she frickin'
liked him.

What are you talking about?

Oh, my god, you didn't even
know, did you?

No. No, of course
you didn't know.

God, you're so worried

about what everybody in this
damn town thinks about you,

you don't even know
what's going on

in your own fucking family!

That is not true!

Dad died trying to prove to you
that he was good enough.

And he wasn't, was he?

No one is.
Not him, not me‐

Look, that is enough!

I can't even breathe around you
without feeling like a failure.

I wish for just one second
I wasn't letting you down.

Like I could actually be
who I am around you!

Fine!
Luke, who are you?

Who is it that I'm not letting
you be?

Gay, mom!

I'm gay.

And the one parent I actually
wanted to tell is dead

in a dumpster.

And I'm stuck here
with this raving bitch

he was trying to impress.

Luke, I'm... I'm sorry.

Yeah.

What the hell was that?

Mayor Bowman,
Captain Pike, anybody!

They're here.
