Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Everyone - full transcript
... into a place I could
dream of escaping to...
We called ourselves
the Elsewhere Society.
PETER: And we promised that
nothing would tear us apart.
Who did all this?
You belong with the special ones.
Join us.
I told him to... buzz off.
You know what to do.
♪♪
♪♪
OCTAVIO: Our heroes.
A motley crew of intrepid travelers
creeping into pyramids by torchlight.
Imagine, for a moment,
that these people are you.
♪♪
Barreling towards an
elusive, deeper truth.
♪♪
With that truth comes risk.
With that truth comes danger.
Is this really just a game?
Or has it evolved into something else?
♪♪
Clara is real.
SIMONE: Well, technically
we don't know if she's real,
we just know that the murals are real.
JANICE: Well, somebody painted them.
- Probably Clara.
- Possibly Clara, yeah.
If she did, then she is
real, and she is missing.
Guys, please, for once, can we
just take this at face value?
If what we've heard is true, then Clara,
she might be in real danger.
And she would be about 40.
Here. This is 20 years ago.
If this is her and she's
real and she was a teen then,
she's in her late 30s.
If you want to find an
artist, you follow the art.
I mean, I'm not as much of a believer
as my freakishly tall and
recently unemployed friend here,
but if Clara is real, then her
murals are gonna lead us to her.
It's provenance.
So... So we follow the
work back to the beginning
and we find out as much as we can
about whoever it is that painted them.
And if that is Clara and she is real,
then she's got, like, a
last name or something,
and... and we can find that
out, and we can start there.
Or we could just go back to playing
the game like everybody else.
How about that? That would be nice.
You're all barking down the wrong tree.
This isn't about some fictional girl
that was enveloped in
some long black coat
and snatched away to a tower.
You sound ridiculous.
This is about an
international conspiracy
designed to control our behavior.
A corporation.
That is what they don't
want us to chase down.
We need to go back to all the locations
that have been played in the game
and connect them in some type of way.
We need to trace them back to
some common financial source,
expose them, and end this.
Guys, we have to look for Clara.
♪♪
Come on.
♪♪
Clara said, "I am you".
Well, what if you were missing?
What if you were missing?
You. What if I was missing?
Would anyone come looking for me?
I don't think so.
One of my saddest
thoughts has always been
that if something ever happened to me...
like, if I slipped in the shower
or if I choked a piece
of sushi or something,
that it would take weeks or maybe months
for anyone to even know that I was gone.
And so if Clara is me, like she said,
then what she needs is
someone to care enough
to just look for her.
Yeah, yeah.
So we do both.
Peter and I will find the waterfall,
- and the two of you can go to the...
- Oh, no. No.
- No?
- No.
No, we don't do both?
No, I'm not working with him.
She's referring to me.
Okay, I know you guys
are mad at each other,
- but can't we just...
- No, no, no.
He did something really awful
and I'm not gonna work with him.
Eh, it wasn't that bad.
It was awful, and I'm
not gonna work with him.
Look, look, I know the two of you
- are going through your little thing.
- No.
- But maybe you could just sort of...
- No.
Oh, my gosh, I'll go with Fredwynn.
- Really?
- What?
- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah.
But Clara's so important to you.
I know. She is.
But, uh, yeah, I'm...
I'm just gonna spend some
alone time with Fredwynn.
♪♪
- And I with Janice.
- Yes.
- This is long overdue.
- Long overdue.
- Okay, this is gonna be fun.
- Yes.
- This is gonna be great.
- Yes, so great.
- Yeah.
- So great. It's gonna be a really fun day.
[CELLPHONES CHIME, VIBRATE]
Ooh!
PETER: "Attention combatants.
Iron your robes and
prepare for the forest.
Clara's truth will be revealed tonight".
Tonight?
Oh, my God, it's the
last day of the game.
They know.
They know that we're on to them.
We don't have much time.
After tonight, everything
will be packed up, disbanded,
the trail snuffed out.
Like a magic carnival,
everything will just disappear.
We have to find the
Wizard behind the curtain.
We have to find Clara.
In the name of all that is sacred,
call it what you want,
but we have to act now.
Breakfast can wait.
Blue team, activate!
- Oh!
- Oh, my God.
Fredwynn!
♪♪
Wow.
Fredwynn, your house is incredible.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
You may sit here.
I need to go fuel up
before we get started.
[RAPID STIRRING]
[GULPING]
Ahh!
[BEEPING]
Wow.
I've been working on
this every day and night
since my induction.
This is a survey of every location
we've been to since the "game" started.
This is... a-a lot of work, Fredwynn.
That night I spent at
Clara's so-called house,
I kept thinking, like, all this money
they're spending on this game.
Look. Look at these locations.
Pop-up stores, theaters, museums.
How much money does it cost
to secure all of these places?
Clara's house alone cost
half a million dollars.
Right, right, with the
fire writing and the murals.
FREDWYNN: I've looked into
property records on the house.
It's all shell corporations
and dead ends.
If we could find something
connecting all of
these things, a name...
If we find a name, we
find the mastermind.
We could find Clara.
If there is a Clara.
I think there is.
I know you do.
Before we proceed, I
need you to be clear.
If you decide to help me with this...
there's danger.
There's darkness.
The people that put this game together,
they may not feel comfortable
with us getting so close
and asking all these questions,
especially the right questions.
- You okay with that?
- I think I'm ready.
There's risks.
Torture, dismemberment, death.
And it is real.
They can waterboard me,
Peter. But I will fight.
They can attach
electrodes to my testicles
and let them go as long as
they desire, but I will fight.
I will fight back.
I will take my two fingers
and put them up their nostrils
and rip everything they
have in their brains out.
And in doing so,
I will be preoccupied
with protecting myself,
and I can't guarantee your safety.
Sorry, I can't tell if
you're joking at all.
♪♪
So this is where Peter and me
learned about the Elsewhere Society
and Commander 14 and all of that.
Oh, the old Schmidt's
sign is still here.
I'm sorry, you've been here before?
I don't remember a-a mural
of a waterfall anywhere around here.
But let's go ask. Come on.
Um, Janice, I, uh...
♪♪
I-I just wanted to say I'm
sorry about your husband.
Oh. I didn't get a chance
to say it before, so...
And... And, like, I know we're
not, like, close or anything,
but if you ever wanted
to talk about it...
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I do. Um...
But I'm... I'm just so
in the middle of it, I...
I don't even know what I'd
say, so let's play the game.
- Okay.
- You go. You go first.
♪♪
Nothing left to see here.
It's all been cleared out.
Okay, well, we're here
about this waterfall mural
that used to be outside.
- You remember?
- Waterfall?
I don't know anything about that. Sorry.
Shit.
BORIS: Janice?
Janice the Menace? It's me!
Boris! Boris Dabrowski!
Do you know him?
I know him.
I know him. Ah.
Oh, Boris!
Oh! Oh!
My, my, it's been a long time.
- It sure has.
- Yes.
What's your name, gorgeous?
Oh. Back off, Boris. Just back off.
How do you guys know each other?
Oh, Janice was the outspoken
feminist of the day.
- What?
- Debating the Equal Rights Amendment,
protesting police violence
down at the City Hall,
and all-night poetry slams.
Well, that was just once.
Just once.
You can see me through the
obsidian of my mind's eye.
Capturing you in time lapse.
The leonine struggle of our sisterhood.
[FINGERS SNAPPING]
Wow. Janice.
Yeah.
Boris. Oh, Boris.
You just sit yourself down right here.
Just have yourself a seat.
Boris, you... you have been
in Philly, like, forever,
probably right here in this building.
So, tell me, do you
recognize any of these murals?
- My memory is not what it used to be.
- Well, whose is?
But maybe it'll improve if
you give me a little kiss.
- Ugh!
- Ugh, no, sir.
Boris, for God sakes,
it didn't happen then,
and it sure as hell is
not gonna happen now.
What do you mean it didn't happen then?
- It happened then!

Uh, barkeep, could we have

Alright.

Ugh. Both.
No. No.
Wait, I recognize that one.
That's out on Norris by

All of the Clara stuff

like the waterfall, the window.
This is, like, half of something.
Well, maybe the other half
is gone, like it was...
it was painted over or something,

underneath would be the...

If she did, then she is

If what we've heard is true, then Clara,

I mean, I'm not as much of a believer

It's provenance.
So... So we follow the

about whoever it is that painted them.
And if that is Clara and she is real,

Hi. I'm Peter's life coach, Leslie Hunt.
As part of my mentoring,
I like to make sure
that Peter stays focused
and meets his deadlines
and avoids treacherous doubt
darts and shame tunnels.
- Peter's firing...
- I quit.
... has brought on a lot,
lot of unwanted fear.
Yes.
And this exercise,
it's vital for his recovery.
Human to human, he needs this.
I need it.
- Five minutes.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much, Leslie.
You know, I didn't think
it was possible for somebody

Doesn't help that the local

September 2000.
Well, that's a year after the murals.
It says, "Clara Torres,
19, was reported missing
after she disappeared from her apartment
on the evening of September 3rd.
Foul play has not been ruled out,
as neighbors saw a
woman shrouded in black".
"Previously hospitalized,
Clara Torres is considered
to be a danger to herself".
Shit, Clara had problems.
It can happen to the best of us.
We should find out what
hospital she was in.
Maybe there's a doctor
there who will remember her.
I'm gonna look up
local psychiatric wards.
I know where they took her.
Where?
They took her to Hawkton.
