Girl in the Woods (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Angel of the Dawn - full transcript
- A new Door opened
because of me.
- Only a Bloodherd can close it.
- Fuck my life.
[demonic grunting]
[roars]
- We're in this together.
Okay?
- Find and return her at once.
- This mineral is called
Devil's Bone.
It's not gold.
- What more can I lose?
- If we close that tear,
cut them
off of Gehenna's influence,
they stand a chance at getting
back to normal.

[soft dramatic music]
♪ ♪
- River seepage?
- It'd be ugly.
This whole thing could cave.
♪ ♪
Take what we can,
while we can, boys.
We'll be set for life.
No more of this shit.
- Yeah!
[drill rattling]
- Closing the tear
should get us Nolan back.
- Okay, here...
is the tear,
and here is the entrance.
- We need to get those workers
out of the gallery.
- My Dad had me
do this ride-along
when I was, like, seven.
Pointed out these
station thingies
that had these emergency levers.
They trigger an evacuation.
- What if they don't leave?
You saw your Dad.
It was an obsession.
- [sniffing]
- Tasha.
- If they don't dip,
WPN will force them out.
I mean, it's protocol.
And then we slip in
like a couple of sly eels.
You close the tear
with your ledger thingie,
and you save Nolan from being
a blood-thirsty monster.

[soft rock playing over radio]
- See that baseball field
over there?
Prospector's diamond.
West Pine's holy land.
"Can you feel the power?"
- Yeah, it's, like, very bright.
[both laugh]
- You know, when I was seven,
my Dad's guy Paul
drunkenly lit a bottle rocket
off his butthole.
- [gasps]
- Right back there.
- [laughs]
- Yeah. All the local
636 crew gathered.
And it just... it didn't go off.
- [laughs]
- It just, like,
exploded in his ass.
It was so funny.
We were dying.
- It just exploded in there?
- Yes.
Flames. Sparks.
Dying. Dying.
Same night Mom got me
my first ice cream cone.
Mint chocolate chip.
And then I got salmonella,
and the next few weeks
were spent on the toilet.
- Oh.
- But it was worth it.
Mom joked I was shooting
more sparks than Paul.
[laughter]
- Shooting sparks?
- Yes.
Kaboom, like...
- Tasha.
- Dude, it was a mess.
- Tasha, you are such a liar.
You love this town.
- I don't know.
In my head, it's, like...
Mom died here.
And no one talks
about her anymore.
And, like, so,
what was her life worth?
Like, she was just this chick
from a small town
that no one knew about?
I can... I can, like,
feel that silence.

Dude, West Pine's a shithole.

[miners screaming]
- Ready?
- Yeah, definitely.
- You don't have to go in there.
- You know I do.
What's your plan
actually entail?
- Just say some words.
The tear to Gehenna closes up.
- You just say, "Some words?"
- They're really good words.
[water dripping]
- That's not good.
- What is it?
- Spoons said the tunnel
could cave in the river.
That's how the Frisks
won their case.
They said it could flood
the whole mine.
- The Colony gets their water
from that river.
- So does all of West Pine.
- If the water mixes with
that Devil's Bone,
the entire town
could end up like your Dad.

Why is it so quiet down here?
