Impulse (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - New Beginnings - full transcript

After a heart-to-heart with Cleo, Henry faces a life-altering decision: leave Reston for a fresh start, or stay with the Hope family and confront her enemies.

Henry...

What are you doing?

Come on.

Jesus!

You paralyzed me.

I just saved you.

How d... what are you?

You did this to me.

You fucking bitch.

You tried to kill me!

I...



You tried to kill me.
You're a goddamned monster!

I...

You tried to rape me!

You could've stopped, but you wouldn't.
You wouldn't!

I'm gonna tell everyone.

I'm gonna fucking tell everyone

what you did to me!

I'm gonna tell everyone

what you are!

Good luck with that.

No one

is going to believe you.

The Boone name
doesn't mean shit anymore.

Your dad is in jail.



The DEA just caught him
for drug trafficking.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

And your brother is on the run

for murder.

He murdered Amos Miller.

Did you know that?

Lucas wouldn't...

No.

Look at me.

You don't have anyone

to hide behind anymore.

Just get me the fuck
out of here!

Everyone in this town's
gonna know.

They will see you, Clay.

They will finally see
what you are.

Your life is fucking over.

Jesus, Townes,
what are you doing here?

I let myself in.

Jenna told me
where to find the spare key,

but you shouldn't hide it
under the welcome mat.

It's the first place
robbers look.

I thought that was something
everyone knew,

since it's a universally stupid
thing to do.

Jenna called you?

I'm supposed to text her.

Since I live closer, I said
I'd check your bedroom.

She was worried
you'd burned to death.

I knew your body
would protect you.

What was that?

Um...

It's Clay Boone.
He's...

Did you...
Did you teleport with him here?

Out... out of the fire?

So you saved his life.

No, I don... it just happened.

Please don't.
I'm not...

You're a superhero.

Not in the traditional sense
of the word,

since you do drugs

and have a genuine disdain
for people...

Townes...

Right. Sorry.

I know
you don't appreciate praise.

Or enthusiasm.

It's just that he's...

He saw me when I...

And I don't think
that he would tell anyone,

- but if...
- Don't worry.

We'll get him on our side.

Maybe he can even
be part of the team.

No, I just need him out of here.

Townes...

Look, you're my sidekick, right?

Uh...

if you say so.

Well, you are,

and I need your help, so...

What can I do?

Shit.
Shit.

Oh, God.

Officer, I... I know
I was speeding,

but I can explain.
I promise...

Stop!
- Okay.

Place your hands on your head!

I'm sorry.

I'm Cleo Coles.
Lucas Boone

put me in this car,
and I just...

Do you have any ID on you?

No, I don't.

Officer Bennett,

responding to the APB

- on the gray Chevy Impala.
10-4.

So... so you know what happened?

You know...

I have to bring you in.

Please let me go
to the hospital.

I need to see my daughter.
Please.

It won't take long.

What's he doing here?

Henry saved his life.

- Do you need help?
Yeah, grab a leg.

- Ow.
- Ow, fuck, fuck! Just put me down.

When are these things
coming off?

I signed all the paperwork.

They're just following protocol.

Well, they wouldn't have
anything on Jeremiah Miller

if it wasn't for me.

We should talk about Lucas.

They've taken his immunity
off the table

because of
a potential murder charge,

and now kidnapping.

That's not what happened.

Look, Lu...

Lucas gets scared.

I can do my best to protect him,

but you may need to... distance
yourself from this, legally.

- He's my son.
And my son's given

me nothing but fucking sciatica

and heartburn, so...

They don't always
make it easy on us, do they?

Listen, Bill,

this deal isn't some
get-out-of-jail-free card.

The FBI doesn't fuck around.

They've frozen your assets.
That mean...

Mr. Boone.

I got nothing to say to you.
Talk to my lawyer,

or send someone in here
with actual authority.

I just thought
you'd want to know

there was a fire at your house.

What?

We're not sure how it started
just yet,

but most of the blaze
has been contained.

W-wait, please.

My... my son, Clay... he was home.

There was no sign of anyone
at the house.

Well, you gotta let me
out of here.

I got to find him
and make sure he's okay.

Well, Bill, I'm not sure

I have the authority.

I'll see you in the morning.

Your mom's safe.

My dad's driving her
back from the police station.

She's okay?

Which means
they'll be here soon.

We need to get rid of him.

I can take him somewhere,

but I don't know where.

You can leave him on the side

of the road for all I care.

I can go with you.

I say we take him
to the hospital.

The burns on his legs
look pretty bad.

You should stay here.

Wait for your mom.

Good.

Let him be
the hospital's problem.

I need to be able to hear

if someone's honking,
or if there are

any other outside noises
related to our safety.

Have you known
this whole time, Jenna?

What she did to me?

What's he talking about?

Nothing.

So you don't give a shit.

That fucking freak crushed my
legs, and you're just like,

"Cool, whatever."

What about what you did to her?

- What did he do?
- I didn't do anything to her.

Bullshit.
Take some

fucking responsibility
for once in your life.

Jesus Christ, man.
You make it seem like

I... fucking drugged her
or something.

It wasn't like that.

You assaulted her.

Whoa, Townes,
get the fuck off me!

- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Townes. Townes.

Townes!
- Calm the fuck down, man.

- Get off me!
- He isn't worth it!

Okay?
He's not worth it.

It's okay.

I'll drop you at the hospital,
because Henry is my friend,

and that's what I told her
I would do.

Henry.

Henry!

Hi.

I should take you
back to the hospital.

You shouldn't be up,
walking around.

No, Mom, I'm fine.
I'm really okay.

I'm okay.

Are you okay?

What happened at Boone Motors?
What happened with Lucas?

Don't worry about that.
That doesn't matter.

Do you want to talk about it?

Not really.

Okay.

Um...

He didn't...

rape me.

Like, just...

so you know,

it wasn't as bad as...

Like, a lot
of people have it worse.

Don't do that.

Don't lessen what happened
to you, or how much it hurts.

It won't take it away.

Yeah, it's just that, um...

It's just that I kissed him.

You know, we were making out,

and I...

I wanted to, like, at first.

I wanted to, so...

But then you didn't.

We should go to the police.

No.

He needs to be held accountable.

Mom, he's paraplegic,

so...

I mean, it's not like
he's gonna...

He can't... hurt anyone again,

and the cops aren't
gonna do anything, so...

You don't know that.

I do,

and that's not what I need.

I just...

Just need to be able
to not see him.

Just need to be able
to go outside

and go to school

and have a life and not see him.

I don't know how to fix this.

I wish I did, I wish more
than anything I did,

but I don't.

Yeah.

Me neither.

I can't... believe
that you like this movie.

Hey, it has its moments.

It's worse than I remember,
but...

What if we left?

What do you mean?

Maybe it's time to go,

to leave Reston,
just you and me.

Fresh start.

- Mom...
- No, it's not like the other times.

That's not what I mean.

But I dragged you here,
and I just...

expected you to
take to this place.

It's caused you
nothing but pain.

I didn't see it.

I didn't... see what
you needed, but now, I do.

I want you to be happy.

What about Thomas and Jenna?

Well, this is their home.
It's not ours.

You and me... we're family.
We're all we need.

You love him, Mom.

I love you more.

Promise me you'll take tomorrow
to think about it.

Okay?

Okay.

We got word this morning.
Clay's in the ER.

Minor injuries.

Making yourself comfortable,
I see.

Sorry about your friend.

Will you sign here, please?

Is that it?

You're officially a free man.

The FBI... is seizing

all Bill Boone's assets,

including all of his properties,

so... that means
the bowling alley.

No.

No, no.
We didn't do anything wrong.

We're not even a part of
that stuff.

Doesn't matter.
Doesn't make a difference.

It's on his land,

and I'm not telling you this

because I want you to worry.

I just wanted you
to hear it from me.

At... least I got you, right?

My girl, my constant.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Uh-huh.
Yeah.

I'm good.

Come here.

Oh...

Clay.

What are you doing here?

The hospital called me.

They couldn't reach your father.

How are you feeling?

You don't have to pretend
to give a shit.

You came here.
You fulfilled your duty.

I'm fine.

You have every right
to be angry with me.

Clay, your dad has made
some poor choices, and...

I don't know
what's gonna happen,

but he's gonna have to live
with the consequences, and...

I doubt it'll be
the same as it was.

So I was thinking,

I was hoping,

that maybe you would come and live
with me and Robert for a while.

I live here.

Of course you do.

I know that we don't know
each other very well.

But I would like to change that.

I would really like
to be a part of your life.

Okay.

It's like, I always have to
act so perfect.

Yeah, you...
You don't have to.

You choose to.

No, this is what
I'm talking about.

Like you. You... you don't
care what people think.

You're just you.

I care.

Not like I do.

Well, no one cares
as much as you do, Jenna.

I haven't always been this way.

We just move around,

like, so much that
I don't have time to...

You know.
I don't know.

And you grew up here.

It's different.

It's been, like,

fucking ingrained in you
since elementary school

to care what Patty Yang
thinks of you.

Yeah.

But I don't know.

Who you are
and who you want to... be

or whatever.

I say, just fucking embrace
that shit.

- Excuse me.
- Yeah?

I'm looking for my son,
Clay Boone.

Marie, let me call you back.

Excuse me.
Don't worry about it.

What are you doing here?

I'm his mother, Bill,

and no one could reach you.

'Cause maybe you were too busy
being interrogated

by the police to answer.

I've been getting calls
from my friends all day.

It's embarrassing.
Trafficking drugs, Bill?

Really?

Don't go getting all righteous
with me.

You made your choice.

This is my family.

Bill, please.

Clay could've died in there.

God only knows where Lucas is.

He's not answering his phone.

Lucas is fine.

You tell me that he is not
caught up in all of this.

Ha.
When he came to visit me,

he was upset, and he wouldn't
tell me why, but now...

What visit?

You know what?
I don't even care.

Go home, Wendy.

Clay.

Are you okay?

Were you hurt?

Oh, don't.

Look, whatever your mother
told you...

Is what, bullshit?

Where's Lucas?

Did he hurt someone?
Did Lucas hurt someone?

Where'd you hear that?

No, of course not.

Look at me.
Look at me.

The men who did this to you
are gone.

They're in jail.

We're gonna start over.

All right?

Right?
We won.

We won?

Are you serious?

I almost just fucking died, Pop.

I would never let that happen.

Right, 'cause you're just

so in control of everything.

Look at me.

Look at my legs.

- Clay...
- No, look at them.

I know you hate it, Dad.
I hate it, too.

I told you, the Millers are not

- gonna be trouble anymore.
- The fucking Millers

didn't do this to me.

Henry Coles did.

No, Dad.
Hey, she did.

She's been lying to you
about everything.

She found me

in the house.

In the fire.

- She was with you?
- Yeah.

And she did something.

And she grabbed me

and... I don't know.

Everything just fucking

came at us,

and then I saw my wheelchair,

and it crumbled.

Dad, she... she made it happen.

All right?
And then, like,

just a second later,
we were in her house.

I don't know how she did it.

I don't know how it happened,
but it fucking happened,

and it wasn't
the first time, either.

Clay...

No, you need to hear this.

I remembered, all right?

I remember what happened

in the truck that day.

Henry crushed me, too.

She crushed me because
she wanted to.

She has some kind of...

God damn it, I don't know.

I don't know, but Henry
did this to me.

Lucas tried to tell you,

and you wouldn't listen.

And he tried to tell me, too.

And it's true.

It's true.

Dad...

Do you believe me?

I'm gonna...
I'm gonna go talk to the doctor

and I'm gonna find out
how long they need

- to keep you in here...
- No.

- I'm gonna stay...
- God damn it.

Clay, I'm gonna get a cot,
and I'm gonna stay...

I'm going home with Mom.

The hell you are.

I can't be in Reston anymore.

What are you talking about?

You're a Boone.

I built a future

for you and your brother here.

This is our home.

We don't have a home!

Where is our home?

Your mother doesn't know
how to take care of you.

Well, she'll figure it out.

And at least with her,
I'll be safe.

Hey.

You were the one who hurt Clay?

Not that drunk driver?

It doesn't make you a villain,

if that's what you're thinking.

Your body responds to fear.

I know that.

Which means
he must have hurt you first?

My mom told me that if you feel
like hugging or kissing someone,

you have to ask for permission,

because... because

people have boundaries.

It's a rule.
You just...

You j... you just have to.

Thanks, Townes.

Oh, my God.

So good.

How much did you smoke?

Hey, you can sit here
if you want.

What?
Oh.

You're sweet, but I think
I'm gonna go over there.

Oh, that's cool.
You want me to come with you?

Nah.

So, how did you know it'd work,

bringing Clay with you?

I don't think I did.

I mean, it felt different.

Like, it felt like I...

I willed myself to do it.

Does that sound crazy?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Tater tots!

The idea of you evolving
is interesting.

Like your prior seizures
were a side effect

of this metamorphosis,

and your extended seizure

was your chrysalis stage.

What if this is your final form?

Like how Pikachu
evolves into Raichu.

Oh, my God,

I love Pikachu.

I don't feel like my final form.

Well, maybe it's just
the beginning.

We should train you.

What do you mean, train me?

Like what?
Like karate or something?

Among other things.

Henry, we don't know
what's next for you,

but... it's always better
to be prepared.

Townes is right,

and no matter what happens,

we'll be here to help.

Bill.

Hey.

It's really not a good time.

Why, you got company
or something?

Look, Iris, I've had
hell of a day.

I just need a place to crash.

I'll make dinner.
You got pasta?

I don't think
that's a good idea.

I-I'll sleep on your couch.

Here.

For a hotel.

Just for a night or two.

Killing it.

The four-pin dance.

These...
These are

the most hipster-y
ones I think we have.

Do you think I'm a hipster?

That's not a cool thing anymore?

Oh!
Oh, my God!

You scared me, you know.

I was afraid that we'd lose you.

Now, if that happened,

I don't know what I'd do.

- You got this.
- Here we go.

- You have got this.
- Got this.

Two strikes is my record,

to play a sport!

Bowling is not a sport.

Don't say that.
That's like saying "Macbeth"

in a theater.
It's bad luck.

I don't think
that that's a thing.

All right,
come on, people, eat up.

- Oh, my God.
- I still have...

I don't know.
I swear to God,

five industrial-sized tins

of what I can only guess
is cheese in the back.

We're gonna be eating nachos
for a month.

Don't say that like
it's a bad thing, young lady.

Hey, do you think you'll ever
open up another business?

I don't know.
We'll have to see.

I do know that I'm gonna
miss this place, though.

Remember the day
you and your mom walked in?

Asked if anybody knew

to fix a...

A transmission?

Well, this place

has been good to me.

You still can't fix
a transmission.

- It's true, though.
- I know, it's totally true.

I don't know who can, though.

This might be the worst thing
that's ever happened to me.

- Oh, my God.
- Says the super pro.

Wow.

Mom.

Yeah?

I think we should stay.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I mean, they're like

the closest thing
that we've ever had

to something

normal-ish.

I mean, they're pretty weird,
but still,

mostly in a good way.

I don't think that it has to be
just me and you anymore.

Come here.

Townes, do you know
how early it is?

You need to come over
right away.

No, I'm in bed.

This is important.
It's about Henry.

Fine, I'll wake her up, but...

No, Henry can't know about this.

Come now.
Come alone.

Mrs. Miller.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

If this is regarding

my husband's arrest, I don't...

It's not.

I wanted to

tell you in person.

We have a lead suspect
in Amos' case.

It's Lucas Boone.

I see.

And you... you can now
make an arrest?

I will, yes.

Soon.

There are many different ways
to make peace

with tragedy,
aren't there, Deputy?

There was a fire

at Bill Boone's house
last night.

You happen to know
anything about that?

No, I'm afraid not.

Well, luckily, nobody was hurt.

My goodness.

What providence.

I really hope you find
some comfort, Mrs. Miller.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.

You as well.

- Somebody grab him!
- What was that?

Townes, I've seen that clip,
like, a dozen times.

Yes, but now I know who this is.

- How?
- I've been searching

missing persons reports
from tropical locations.

Same age, race.

His name's Michael Pearce,

and he was reported missing
in Bermuda

two days into his vacation.

It does look like him.

He's dead.

His body washed up
off the coast of Newfoundland,

still wearing
this Hawaiian shirt.

Do you think this is the same
teleporter who was at your house?

I don't know.
I mean,

Henry said the guy

who broke into our house

took her dad a long time ago.

This guy looks younger.

But what does this mean?

That... that teleporters
are taking people?

Not just any people.

Michael Pearce was a geneticist.

He worked at Clear Tech.

The company that makes
solar panels and electric cars?

Why would a geneticist
work for them?

Well...

Hold up.

What's going on?

Oh.

I think I've been hacked.

Henrietta, it's Bill Boone.

I'm at your house,
having a chat with your mom.

You should join us.

No, Henry, don't!

Mom.

What's going on?
Are you okay?

Henry...

Help me understand, Henrietta.

Lucas tried to tell me,
but, you know, he's...

well...

And Clay...

You should've seen
the expression on his face.

He's afraid of you.

My boy,

who is scared of nothing,

is afraid of a little girl.

Bill, I don't know what you
think that Henry can do.

This is crazy.

I'm not leaving here

until you show me your trick.

Doesn't work like that.
I can't just...

I can't just make it happen.

- Okay, Mom, Mom...
- It's okay.

You made me believe that you...

That you cared about my son.

What was I supposed to do?

I trusted you,
and you lied to me.

- You're fucking insane.
- Henry, stop it.

You took my family away from me.

No, I didn't.

I didn't.

You have five seconds
to show me.

I can't.

- Okay?
- Admit what you did to my son.

Please, just put the gun down.

- Four.
- Just leave my mom out of it!

- Three.
- Okay, okay, okay!

I did it! I did it! I did it!

I hurt Clay in his truck.

I did it, and I didn't mean to,
and I'm sorry.

- Show me!
- I don't know how!

No, please, let me go!

Mom.

Oh, oh.

Oh, fuck, oh, fuck.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Dad?

Where are we?
