Dead of Summer (2016): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Dharma Bums - full transcript

Previously on "Dead of Summer"...

- Oh, my God!
- "Dharma Bums"?

It was given to me by someone
I loved very much.

Last night, I saw these
people... down by the lake.

They were wearing these masks.

Jack Sykes. This belonged to my father.

He was doing the same thing we are.

You should keep your eyes open.

'Cause bear traps aren't the only thing

- we should be worried about.
- Whoa.

- Where's your camera?
- It doesn't work here.



Kill Amy, or someone else will die.

‐ So you're gonna go meet
him? ‐ Gotta give it a shot.

‐ Slow down! ‐ Oh, I can't.

Miles to go before I sleep.

Are we really doing this?

What, are you kidding?

Kerouac and Ginsburg buried one

under a bar in San Francisco.

But nobody really knows which one.

Not even them.

Our own personal time capsule.

"Deb, it's never too late to be

the person you were always meant to be."

I don't know if I can part with this.



There's no choice. We have to.

Look, if you keep it, you might lose it.

This way, if we ever
want this summer back,

we'll know exactly where to find it.

I want to show you something.

- You see that?
- Mm‐hmm.

That's Canis Major.

That's Orion's pet dog.

He's chasing her.

Who's that?

Oh, that's Hare.

See, Hare, she's always on the run.

Always searching for her one true love.

But Orion's dog, he's not
hunting her to kill her.

He loves her. He is her one true love.

She just doesn't know it yet.

I can't believe it's
the last night of camp.

And then...

it's over.

Three weeks college.

Come with me.

What?

I'm going to travel the world.

We'll go everywhere, see everything.

What, so I get to be sidekick
while you write novels

and become the next Richard Brautigan.

Well, if I can, yeah.

Let's do it together.

That sounds great.

But you want to see the world, Keith.

I think I'm going to try and save it.

You have to promise
to send me a postcard

from everywhere you go.

Let's promise each other

we'll never stop being the Dharma Bums.

We'll never give up on our dreams, okay?

It's not like you're
gonna be gone forever, right?

Stay sharp, kid.

You never know when I might come
walking through the door.

Uh... So if, um...

If you need to call your parents

or your campers need anyone,

um...

there's a phone in my office,

and you're welcome to use it any time.

Um, no activities today.

I think that we all need some time.

So, um... take care of each other.

Thanks.

- How you holding up?
- Um...

Better than them.

Deputy Sykes wanted
me to tell you that...

he's done taking statements.

I guess they're ruling it a...

- accident, but...
- Of course it was.

This was all my fault.

I had a perfect summer 19 years ago.

I wanted that for all of you.

But it was a mistake
to reopen this camp.

No, you did the right thing.

Yeah.

It was.

If I had left the past the past,

Cricket would still be alive.

Hello?

I told you to stay sharp, kid.

Keith.

I can't believe you dug
this up without me.

Long time no see, Dharma Bum.

Have you said anything to him?

Well, maybe you should.

He could really use a friend right now.

Kind of burned that bridge.

So fix it.

Cricket... always knew
when I was feeling down.

She'd bring me peanut butter cups.

I know it sounds dumb, but...

I would give anything to share
one with her right now.

You know, it doesn't make sense.

Cricket loved to overnight.
She loved these woods.

She knew where to walk,
where not to walk.

She stopped me from stepping
in the trap that afternoon.

She was coming to meet me.

Holyoke told me that if I didn't
do what he told me to do,

that someone else was going to die.

So, what, you're saying
that you pissed off

a ghost and he killed her?

I knew I should have just
kept my mouth shut.

What happened to Cricket
was an accident.

I just wish there was some way
we could find out for sure.

You're sure it's down here?

Yeah.

Why so surprised?

The camp hasn't been open in six years.

They had to put it somewhere.

Oh, there it is... in the box.

Uh...

You sure about this?

Maybe it's a sign that
we shouldn't be here.

Or... maybe it's a sign that se should.

We're going to talk to Cricket.

This is a horrible idea.

Cricket is dead and you're turning this

into some stupid slumber party game.

It's not a game, it's real.

Look, my... my abuelita was a Santera.

You guys can do what you want.

I'm not doing that... that's voodoo.

Santeria is a religion.

Right.

She knew how to talk to the other side,

and she taught me.

What do you think you're gonna hear?

The truth.

If someone did this to her,
I want some revenge.

No, we can't do this.

If this is real and some
spirit killed her,

it could kill all of us.

Do you guys hear yourselves?

Look... nothing is going to hurt us.

We're going to talk to
Cricket, and that's it.

So after lights out
when the campers go to sleep,

we meet here and we find
out what happened.

You really believe this?

I have to believe this.

I didn't get to say goodbye, Jessie.

Okay.

After lights out.

So...

You finally left Fred.

This can't be happening.

Oh, come on, Dharma Bum.

You can't tell me...

that I haven't been on your mind.

Of course you've been on my mind.

You're the whole reason that I'm here.

I thought...

if I could come back, maybe I could...

recreate the magic, but...

we were...

the Dharma Bums...

one summer a long time ago,

and you have no idea

how badly I screwed up.

Well, let's make it better.

Hmm?

Mm‐hmm.

Let's go into the woods.

Find our old spot.

We have some unfinished
business, you and I.

I can't.

The last time you
asked me to come with you,

you broke my heart.

Why do you have to come back now...

when it's too late?

No.

No, it's never too late
to become the person

you were always meant to be.

You remember that?

Right?

The person I am now has a...

a lot of responsibilities.

A lot has happened in the last 24 hours,

and I need you to leave.

All right.

If you change your mind,
you know where to find me.

And don't wait too long.

I'm only here tonight,
then I have to go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Who's the fox?

Oh. Just an old friend.

My ass! Guys who look like
that aren't friends.

Who is he?

Well...

Okay, if you must know,

we had a pretty intense
summer together right before college.

But now he's traveling
the world and writing poetry.

Soul mate?

I haven't seen him in years.

Avoiding the question, counselor.

Damn right.

Excuse me.

Sir, I would like to get your signature

for the Children's Defense League.

We are petitioning
Congress for the Safe Families Act.

Yeah, I know what you're doing here.

I've seen you out here
for the past three days.

We've even had a few clients
complain about it.

Oh. Well, we're a hundred feet
from the building's entrance,

and we're not breaking any laws.

And the sooner we get signatures
on all of these pages,

the sooner we'll be gone.

You know, standing out
on the street corner,

bugging people for signatures

isn't gonna change things, right?

- Hmm.
- See that building right there?

Mason, Morrow & Finch... wall
to wall Harvard lawyers.

That's how you change things.

The act of one person on behalf
of another can change the world.

That's heavy, man.

You get that off a bumper sticker?

"Streetlight 49," Keith Jones.

And as a matter of fact,
I am a Harvard lawyer.

- Really?
- Really.

What did you think of Professor Hartman?

Barfman? Brilliant mind,
terrible breath.

I'll make you a deal.

I'll sign your petition

if you'll give me your phone number.

Hmm. That is not a very original line.

I get that every day.

Did it work this time?

We'll see.

Oh.

We'll see.

Yeah.

‐ You find anything, kiddo? ‐

Are you sure this is all Dad's things?

I mean, he didn't have any other files?

That's it, baby.

You have any idea why Dad was
looking into this stuff?

Oh, honey.

Solving a case, even one
that your dad was working on,

is not gonna bring him back, you know.

I know that, Mom.

Garrett, the hard truth is
the quicker people leave us,

the longer it takes to say goodbye.

How can I say goodbye...

when he keeps showing up?

Ohh. Is this...

I found this in an old cabin.

Dad was there, looking
through the exact same evidence as me.

- No, that makes no sense.
- Mom, I'm telling you.

Garrett, your dad
was a number of things,

but sloppy is not one of them.

There's no say he would leave
something like that behind.

Not without good reason.

What are you talking about?

What is that?

It's a file number.

Dad knew somebody else
would come looking,

and he left this behind to point
them exactly where to go.

- Well, what do you think is there?
- I don't know.

But I'm guessing whatever it
is is what got him killed.

"I've been watching the stars.

That dog is still chasing the hare,

and I'm still trying to finish my novel.

Come stay with me here in Paris."

"Please say yes.

Or are you too busy saving the world?"

Wow.

Is it my imagination,

or did becoming a partner
somehow make you even hotter?

Well, it's gotta be your imagination.

No.

It's not my imagination.

What's in the bag?

Oh, it's a promotion, huh?

Let's celebrate.

Let's see.

Oh.

Deborah Carpenter, will you marry me?

Please say yes.

Of course.

"To the person reading this,

if you followed the trail this far,

it means you've come to understand

the same things about
that place as I did."

Ginger?

What else are you looking for?

Chicken blood.

Is this a seance or a bake‐off?

Don't mock it, Alex.

I mean, this is the way to make
a doorway between worlds.

Blair, this is really
starting to creep me out.

What are you two doing in here.

Uh, we're just grabbing a snack.

The old spirit board?

What we're doing here is
none of your business.

Actually, it is my business, Blair.

- I'm camp director. And...
- And what?

I mean, all you've done
is shut down camp for a day.

No activities, just letting
people sit around and be sad.

At least I'm doing something.

I am your boss. You
have to listen to me.

No. What, do you want to fire me?

- Go ahead.
- Blair.

Go back to your cabin...

and I'll speak with you in the morning.

- Yeah. Maybe we should...
- No, screw that!

I'm tired of taking orders from someone

who obviously doesn't know
what the hell she's doing.

Taxi!

Sorry.

‐ Thanks a lot. Oof! ‐ I'm sorry.

- I'm so sorry.
- No, I...

- Oh, my God!
- Ha!

Well, I always told you
to stay sharp, kid.

How's your writing going?

Oh.

You know, a lot of the old magazines,

they're shutting down. So it's...

If you really want
to know the truth, um...

That poem that I sent you...

was the last time that I got published.

Well, that's crazy.
Your work is beautiful.

You know, you should collect
all the postcards

that you wrote me
and... and put them in a book.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, I didn't make copies, so...

Well, I saved them.

Hmm.

- How's Fred?
- Fred.

Fred is... we work a lot,

and we're living the yuppie dream.

What happened to us?

We were the Dharma Bums, and we...

we were gonna save the world.

Yeah, well, I guess
the world changed us.

Didn't it?

Was that summer at camp
the best it's gonna be?

Well...

If we ever want to
go back to that summer,

we know exactly where
to find it, don't we?

- Oh!
- Huh?

- The time capsule.
- Yes.

You got three hours?

We could drive up there
right now and dig it up.

- I'm serious.
- No, I know.

But I know what we are now.

We're the creepy adults
who, like, show up,

and the kids are like,
"Why are they here?"

No. There aren't any kids there.

- What?
- The camp's been closed for years.

You didn't know that? It's true.

Come on.

Are you in?

Let's do this. Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

No, I can't. I need to get home.

Deb, I really need this.

Look...

I'm only here tonight. I...

I leave in the morning. So...

If you change your mind...

you know where to find me, right?

I knew you'd come.

Would you care to dance?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I don't deserve to feel this happy.

Happiness isn't something
that you deserve.

Do you remember a kid named Polly?

Right?

Yeah.

The one that got flu, like,
on the first day of camp,

and she was so upset

that all the other kids
were swimming and running around.

She was stuck in bed.

And you...

you stayed with her.

You were playing cards
and painting her fingernails,

if I remember.

We talked about her parents' divorce.

Yeah.

She ended up having a great
time because of you.

I ended up getting the flu.

Oh, God. You were always
the heart of the camp.

- Yeah.
- You still are, you know?

Those were days were...

the best.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Those days are gone.

Forever.

Maybe they're just beginning.

Okay.

These three candles represent light.

And...

according to my abuelita,

the white roses draw in the spirits.

What is this for?

Sometimes spirits can communicate
using writing.

Dear spirits of kindness and light,

we invite you to join us here tonight

to speak your thoughts and wishes

as openly as you desire.

We banish forces of darkness and evil.

Blair...

don't do this.

Everyone hold hands.

Blair, maybe we should...

Quiet. Concentrate.

Are you sure we should be doing this?

We are doing this.

Carolina Maria Diaz,

we are gathered here in your
name and your memory.

If you wish to communicate with
us, please, give us a sign.

Cricket, please.

It's okay, Blair.

It's okay.

Look.

This is a trick.
This can't be happening!

Amy!

Blair, what the hell is happening?!

I don't know!

I can see you!

Cricket!

Yes! Yes, it's me, it's me!

It's you! It's really you!

Stop!

- Stop!
- No!

Cricket!

Come back, come back!

Somebody pushed me!

Who pushed you? Cricket, what happened?!

Who pushed you?!

Cricket, where are you?

Are you okay?!

Oh, no! He's coming!

He's so close! I have to go!

- Cricket!
- Blair!

- Blair?!
- I'm here!

You should have killed Amy
when you had the chance.

She is the doorway! Kill her!

Kill her!

Kill her now!

Amy!

Shut it down, Blair!

Holy Jesus, help us!

Hurry up!

Amen.

What happened?

Jessie?

Are you okay?

Jessie!

What's happening?

Help!

Show me that it's
all real. It's all real.

I didn't draw that! I
don't know how to draw!

Jess, come on, relax.

Seriously?

Did you not just see
what happened to me?

To Amy? She was possessed!

It was Cricket.

But then it was... it was someone else.

Someone else? What happened to me?

We woke something up.

Something bad.

Holyoke.

What?

Blair, I told you not to...

It was supposed to be Cricket.

Yeah, well, it wasn't.

You said you knew what you were doing.

Leave him alone, Alex.

Oh, I'm sorry, Drew.

Did you miss the part where
Amy tried to stab herself?

Hey!

Everybody calm down.

What happened
tonight was awful and weird.

But now we know some things.

Like what?

Your stupid movies aren't nearly
as screwed up as all this?

Like that all this is real,
and we have to deal with it...

no matter how crazy it seems.

Holyoke still has his sights on Amy.

What did he mean when he
said she was the doorway?

‐ I don't know. ‐
Then I'm getting help.

I'm gonna call Sykes.

Jessie...

I'll cover your cabin.

Thanks.

Okay, wow.

This is... this is not how
I pictured this night going.

That's funny.

'Cause, you know,
this is exactly how I...

pictured this going.

This is, um...

This is what I wanted...

that day I‐I bumped into you.

You and me here... forever,

just... just like this.

You know that I can't stay, right?

No.

Actually, I... I don't.

I don't know that. Not after this.

I'm sorry, Deb.

I wasn't lying when I said
that I had to leave.

Hey.

Keith!

Are you kidding?

Keith?

Hey, come back!

Keith!

Who's there?

What are you doing?

What's going on at camp?

- Are you okay?
- No.

Now tell me everything.

I found a notebook that
belonged to my dad.

He was looking into
the exact same things

that are going on at
camp now... satanic rituals...

just before he got killed.

You mean this is happening he... here?

According to this,

they would have buried a lock of hair,

a deer heart, and a skull for
the ceremony to be complete.

So I went out there and started digging.

Nothing.

Which means they weren't
doing this ritual,

which means my theories are
crap, which means I'm an idiot.

So, why are you out here?

Because you're not an idiot.
Something is happening there.

I didn't believe it, but...

Where'd this come from?

We...

did a seance tonight.

- What?
- Just... just don't.

I passed out, and when I woke
up, I was drawing this.

You sure you weren't drunk or something?

Garrett. Look.

That's not even my handwriting.

Who did this? Who made that map?

What's happening to me?

What... what happened to Cricket?

I don't know. Just...

Can you turn the lights on, please?

I think I know where
they buried the skull.

Keith!

Where are you?!

Where are you?!

You shouldn't have followed me.

I can't lose you.

Not again.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, wake up.

What... what did you...

Deb, I need this.

Stay with me, please.

Don't go.

I have to.

Okay.

I'll come with you.

You don't know what you're saying.

I know exactly what I'm saying.

There is nothing here for me now.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault
what happened to Cricket.

You don't control everything, Deb.

I should have protected her.

What happened to her can't be undone.

But there are other kids here
that are gonna need your help,

and they're gonna need it soon.

You have to stay here for them.

I can't.

Not without you.

Yes, you can.

That's why you left Fred.

That's why you're here,
not because of me.

Because of you.

You came back here

to finally be what you
were always meant to be.

Will I see you again?

Whenever you need me.

You'll know just where to find me.

Stay sharp, kid.

There's more things coming.

Dark things.

Maybe you didn't save the world...

but you might just be able
to save these kids.

I'm sorry, Keith.

I know this is what
you wanted me to do, but...

it wasn't supposed to be like this.

You were supposed to be here, too.

We were supposed to be here together.

What happened to Cricket hurt all of us.

But instead of
being here for you, I hid.

And if some of you are thinking...

or saying that I'm not doing my job...

I understand that.

But at Camp Stillwater,
we look out for each other.

We all have broken hearts.

But maybe trying to talk to
the ghost of a person we miss

the most isn't the
best way to remember them.

If we're looking for Cricket,
we don't need to look out there,

we need to look inside ourselves.

This summer will
always be a special summer,

because it is the one that holds
the last memories of Cricket.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Oh, my God!

Garrett?

Jess, look.

That's where Dave's body
was found, right?

Right where it says "1."

And that's where we found Cricket.

That's 3.

What do you think
we'll find if we look there?

We're about there.

‐ Here?
- Yeah.

What the?

It's blood.

Something was buried here.

Or someone.

But whoever did it...

They came back and moved it.

Which means they know we're onto them.

‐ Did they find it? ‐ No.

Someone moved it.

Who?

The same person that's been
helping us all along.

Yeah, well, we still don't
know who they are.

No, but whoever it is,

the teacher says we should thank them...

for showing us what a true
believer really is.

It's number 4.

They're going to kill again.
