Impulse (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - He Said, She Said - full transcript

After Henry and Clay have a fight, Cleo tries to make amends by inviting the Boones over for dinner. But the evening takes a devastating turn.

I told you to stop it

and you didn't stop.

Henry, you kissed me!
Do you not remember that?

You forced...
your fingers... inside me

and I told you no.

Fuck.

What happened?

I don't know, man.

Did Henry Coles do this?

I'm sorry, but I was in
the next room.

I heard what she was saying
to you...



I don't know
what she was talking about.

All right, Lucas?
I didn't do anything to her.

It was not like that.

Hey, hey, hey.
You hear me?

Right?

It wasn't like that.

I'm not like that.

No, I know, I know, I know.

It's cool. All right, we
better clean this shit up.

Clay Boone?

I'm Deputy Hulce.

We haven't officially met.

I'm responding
to a disturbance call

from one of your neighbors.



They said somebody threw a rock

through your window.

I assume you know
what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I do.

Well, did you see who did it?

No, no, uh...

I was in my room.
I was doing some PT.

You know, some exercises.

You know, I was
the first responder

right after your accident.

How you been holding up?

Still sitting.

So...

- Your father home?
- No, he's at work.

Would you mind if
I take a look around

and make sure there's
no other signs of forced entry?

Actually... actually, uh,
I think we're good here.

All right.

Okay.

Well...

if you see any... thing
suspicious, or any other...

We'll give you a call.

Okay.

Hey, what's up?

♪ I can be
your lifesaver ♪

♪ Treat me like a jawbreaker ♪

Sweet playlist, man.

It's not a playlist.

What?

It's not a playlist.
It's a mood.

Oh, okay.
Cool.

Hey, man, grab me a shot.

Let's do shots.

Oh, yeah!

You want next game?

Uh, no, no, I'm good, man.

All right.

♪ If you don't come back
I think I'ma lose it ♪

Yo, Daron, what's up!

♪ If I ever had your number ♪

Yo, Clay, I thought you said

only a few friends
were coming over.

I mean, they might've
invited some friends

as well, but, uh...

- Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.

Should you be mixing that
with your meds?

Absolutely.

Come on, you got to
give us something.

Look at his face.

That... that is the face
of a man

who has had some pussy
on his face.

Out of here.

I know.
I know you...

You're an idiot.

Hey, babe,

you want to get me another beer?

No.

Serves you right.

Oh, yeah!

- Boop!
- Ow.

Oh, I'm sorry, miss.

Is this a pedestrian walkway?

Seriously?

Look, uh, thanks for being cool

with me bringing Damian.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's, uh...

one of a kind.

Yep.

Um, listen.

Can I ask you something?

And I want you to be, like,
totally honest with me.

Okay.

I mean, it's not bad
or anything.

I just...

Was I good to you?

Like, as a boyfriend?

Like, did you buy me
enough candles

before you decided
to screw around?

No, no.

I mean, did you ever...

Did you ever feel like

like I put pressure on you?

To...

Pressure to do what?

Sleep with you?

I guess.
I mean...

Were there times when
maybe it felt like

I was more in the mood
than you were?

Well, you're a guy,
so obviously,

sometimes, yeah.

But I never did anything
I didn't want to do with you.

That's not who I am.

Okay.

Where is this coming from?

No, I just... I've had a lot
of time to think, you know?

- Okay.
- So, yeah.

Chug! Chug! Chug!

Hey, Clay, dude...

Wake up.

Hey. What happened?

Man, I told you
to be careful mixing.

Where'd everyone go?

Hey, Lucas.

What's up?

I can't...

I can't believe this is me.

You know?

This is my life.

Just yell if you think
you're gonna be sick.

All right?

What the fuck?

Shit!

Help!

Help, Lucas! Lucas!

Breakfast?

Yeah.

What the hell went on in here?

Threw a party last night
for the team.

After the loss to Lincoln,
you know,

everyone kind of wanted
to blow off some steam.

And, uh, it kind of
got out of hand.

You hung over?

A little, yeah.

Good.

May the punishment
fit the crime.

Better get busy cleaning.

Uh, hey, Dad. Uh...

Where'd you go?

Had to take care of some stuff.

Listen, I'm gonna
call the Millers

and set up a meet.

This thing'll be over soon.

Right.

Yo, what was that about?

Listen, there's something
I want to show you.

Just...

go get dressed, will you?
I'll finish up here.

So what, you and Dad
put together

another old roadster or
something?

- What the hell is this?
- Hold on, just let me explain.

Are you fucking kidding me, man?
I don't want to see this shit.

I wouldn't've brought you here
if it wasn't important.

Oh, what, 'cause you want me to
face my fears or some shit, man?

- Fuck you!
- Clay, just... just fucking

listen to me, okay?
Just listen.

Henry was with you

when this shit happened
to your car.

Right?

- Right?
- Yeah.

Okay.

She

was in my trunk

just before this happened.

Wait, what?
Why was she in your trunk?

Okay, it d... it doesn't matter.

Honestly, I-I know
that sounds nuts,

but look, my trunk and your
car... it's like the same shit

happened to both of them,
like the same kind of

fucking suck bomb or some shit

went off inside them.

Oh, right, okay,

so Henry put, uh...

She planted bombs
in the both of our cars?

- Is that what you're saying?
- No, I'm just saying,

she said she did this to you.

Why would she say that

if she didn't mean it?

Because she's fucking crazy.

- No, man.
- Because she's a liar.

You and I both know
Dad's partners did this.

Yeah, we only know any of that
shit because she said so.

And it makes
actual fucking sense,

unlike whatever Benghazi shit you
got whirling around in your head.

Dude

I don't know.
I just have this feeling

and I don't know how else
to describe it.

Well, your feeling's wrong.

Henry was confused, okay?

And people who are confused...
They talk shit.

And now she's got us
both freaking out

because you can't mind
your own goddamn business.

Everything she was saying
last night

was insane.

Don't let her
fuck with your head too.

I think she was
telling the truth.

You do?

About everything?

- Clay, man...
- Wow.

All right, you know what, man?

I'm done with this bullshit.

Clay, man, I'm sorry.
- Oh, hey, boys.

Hey, Gale,
can you grab my paycheck?

Sure thing, honey.

You just missed Henrietta.

What?

She told me what happened.

Dad, I didn't do anything.

She didn't blame you.

She said she threw the rock.

- What?
- I don't know what's going on

between you two, but you better
kiss and make up tonight, okay?

'Cause we need her on our side.
You understand that?

Tonight?
What are you talking about?

Cleo invited us over to

her house tonight for dinner.

Why?

- Fuck that.
Watch your language.

No, I'm not going to that.

The hell you're not.

- I'm not going, Dad.
- Excuse me.

Bill?

Bill Boone?

What?

Ken Davidson, Lanwood Insurance.

- You're the adjuster?
That's right.

- We spoke on the phone.
Yeah.

I hope I'm not
interrupting anything,

but I've read just about every
magazine you have to offer,

and I'd love to

steal a few minutes of your time

about the accident
involving your son, Clay Boone.

- Well, uh, actually, I got a
couple things I have to handle,

uh, but this is my son, Clay.

He can answer
some of your questions,

help you get started.
How about that?

I've, uh, seen pictures
of your truck.

Pretty nasty-looking accident.

Can you tell me
what you remember?

Not much.

I was in my truck, I guess,
and then...

I woke up in a hospital.

Immediately?

Um...

I don't know.

It feel like, one moment, you're in
your truck, the next, the hospital?

Kind of.

Have you ever lost time
before this incident?

What?

Any history of seizures?

It's for the claim.

No.

Was anyone with you or nearby
at the time of the accident?

Listen, man, I just told you
everything I remember.

We good here?

Uh, I didn't mean to upset you.

I'm... I'm just trying to
make sure I have all the facts.

Look, I'm the victim here, okay?

I'm the one who's
fucking paralyzed.

So I don't need you
asking all these questions.

- I don't need to relive this shit.
- Look, I didn't mean to...

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Okay, whatever, man.

- Just get the fuck out of here.
- Hey, hey, Clay! Stop.

- I didn't do anything wrong, Dad.
- Stop, stop!

Look, Mr. Davidson,
my son's been through a lot.

Why don't you give me a call
on Monday

and you and I can discuss anything
else you need, all right?

Of course.

Thank you for your time.

I'll get it!

Henry, you kissed me!
Do you not remember that?

Fuck.
Of course I remember.

Okay, all right.
So you remember kissing me...

Not now.

I kissed you,

but that doesn't mean
that I wanted it.

You hurt me!

Stop!

Don't move!

Fuck.

I thought that was you.

Are you okay?

Fine.

Just cold.

Well, I'll give you a ride.

No, you really don't
have to do that.

Get in.

Where are you coming from?

Nowhere.

Just taking a walk.

In this weather?

I guess there are worse ideas.

I hadn't been out to the Boones'
place before. It's nice.

See, a neighbor saw
a young blond woman,

about 5'5",

vandalize their window.

I'm 5'6", so...

I thought you
and the Boones were close.

We're not.

Well, maybe I misunderstood.

I...
I figured as much because

you were in Clay's car

just before his accident.

But maybe that was
the wrong place...

Are you gonna take me home,
or arrest me?

Are those my two options?

You remind me of this kid
that I used to know.

He has his guard up too.

Sometimes that

takes more energy
than it's worth.

Look, I'm trying to say
that you can talk to me.

Hey, hey, wait!
That's not...

Oh, God.

Um...

Henry?

Oh, fuck. Um...

Hey.

Fuck.

Hey, are you okay?

No, please!

Please don't touch me.

Here.

I think I should just...

I need to get out of the car
for a minute.

Yeah, yeah, get some air.

You all right?

Yeah, sorry.

I have seizures

and the medication helps.

Okay.

Henry, did you recognize
that man in that photo?

No.

No, I didn't know him.

But maybe you've seen him?

Around with Bill?

I c-can't...

- I can't say.
- Okay, you... you can't why?

Why? Did Bill tell you
not to say anything?

No.

No, it's not that.
It's just that my mom

works for Bill,

so I don't think I can really
be talking about him like this.

I can keep your mom safe.

No, you can't.

You can't.

If you know about Bill,
then why don't you just

do something?

You're a cop.
You can...

You can arrest him or something.

It's not that simple.
I need evidence to hold him.

I don't feel good.
Can you please take me home?

Okay.

But just... wait, wait, wait.

Just wait.

If you ever wanna talk,

don't call the station.

Call me directly.

Okay.

I won't tell Cleo
about the rock incident.

Okay?

We can keep that between us.

Thanks for the ride.

What is going on?

Why is Anna Hulce
dropping you off?

I threw a rock

through Bill Boone's window.

What?

- My God...
- Mom, listen...

- Oh, Henry...
- I'm really sorry.

Clay and I got into a fight

about the accident

because I left him there

and he was really, really angry

and I just freaked out.
I didn't know what to do.

That is my boss' house.
Do you understand that?

Do you understand the position
that you just put me in?

Do you ever use your head, Henry?
Do you ever think about

anyone but yourself?
- Mom, I know, I wasn't

thinking.
- I could lose my job over this.

It happened really fast
and I will apologize

- to Mr. Boone.
- I just got this job!

Do you know how important it is?
- I will apologize.

What?

I want to apologize

to Mr. Boone in person,

so that he knows

that it was my fault.

Yeah, okay, well, I think...

Yeah, I-I...

I think that's a good start.

But it doesn't
make up for what you did.

You know, I have to
come up with some kind of

punishment for you.

Okay. That's fine.

Yeah.

I should go to bed.

Yeah, go to your room

and stay there,

and don't...

Don't come back down

for the rest of the night.

I'm really sorry, Mom.
Thank you.

Um, you busy?

Um, kind of, yeah.

Are you okay?
You sound weird.

Yeah, Jenna.
I'm just tired.

How'd it go with Josh?

It's fine.

Listen, I think
I'm gonna crash...

I had sex tonight.

In my room.

With Zach.

It was... my first time.

Do you want to talk about it?

Maybe, yeah.

Okay.

So how did it go?

It was good.

Um...

You know, actually,

actually, it was...

it was all right.

I don't know.
I felt...

sort of

out-of-body.

Was Zach okay to you?

Yeah.

He was sweet,

but

maybe just not the right person.

I don't know.

I feel like there's
something wrong with me.

There's nothing wrong with you.

Look, you're either

into it or you're not.

There are no rules.

But I like rules.

I know you do.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I will be.

Morning.

Want some eggs?

No, it's too much protein.

So...

Do you remember when you told me

to stay away from Bill Boone?

Yeah.

But then my mom
took a job with him,

and you didn't do anything.

Well, there's no convincing
your mom

once she's made up her mind.

You know that.

Right, but you said
he was dangerous.

- So is he? Is he dangerous, or...
- Well...

Henry, you know that I would never
let your mom work for the guy

if I thought that he was,
you know,

actually gonna hurt someone.

It's not that.

How can I say this?
Um...

After Elizabeth got sick,

medical bills started piling up.

Bill Boone swoops in
behind our back,

pays them off.

Said he was doing us a favor.

Yeah, but he's gonna
hold that debt over my head

until the day I die.

And he'll say he's a friend,

but it comes at a price.

Henry, grab your coat.

Uh, why?

I thought a lot about
what happened last night,

and I want to be there
when you apologize to Bill.

Don't you think that I should
do this on my own, Mom?

I just... I really don't wanna,
like, involve you, or...

Henry, stop.

We're going.

I'm gonna be late.

- Come on.
- Mom.

Hi, Bill.

Uh, if you have a moment,

my daughter would like

to have a word with you.

Sure.
Hi, Henrietta.

Mom,

um, I can handle this

if you wanna get to work.

Henry, we talked about this.

Yeah, I know.
I just

would really like to
do this on my own,

so can you please...

You can go on, Cleo.

Uh, you know,
Tim is out today, actually,

so you're needed on the floor.

Okay.

Come find me when you're done.

Hey.

Everything okay?

Just here to apologize

in person about last night.

Do you mean the party?
Please.

Look, this may sound
unconventional,

but, you know,
I'm glad he had people over.

Poor kid's been down
so much lately, you know?

No, I'm talking about
the broken window.

I threw the rock.

Clay and I got into a fight...

Clay failed
to mention that, but listen,

I, of all people,

know how tempers can flare

when alcohol is involved.

Look at you standing there.

You look terrified.

Have a seat.
Come on.

You've been through a lot,
Henrietta,

and I appreciate you
coming here today.

More proof of what
a good girl you are.

You know, I read in the paper

that a young Mennonite OD'd.

And I recognized him.

It's a real shame about

the drug epidemic in this town,

don't you think?

Yeah.

I just really care about Clay.

Like, a lot,

and, I mean, you know that.

So when I saw what happened
to him I felt...

Relieved.

Well, it's interesting

that you would say that.

But again,

I do think it's a shame

what drugs can do to a person.

I wouldn't ask that on anyone,

especially one of my boys.

Just thought that
maybe you had...

Shoot.

Sorry, I gotta cut this short.

I got another meeting.

What?

Okay, that's fine.

Henrietta.

There's no use in picking
at an old scab.

Just takes longer to heal.

You understand, hmm?

When I said I'd protect you,

I meant it.

Bill, I'm sorry about
all of this.

Please.

Don't even mention it.

You've got a good kid here.

- Everyone has a bad day.
- Thank you.

Can you have a seat? I just want
to ask Bill a quick question.

Hello.

My name is Ken Davidson.

I have an appointment with
Mr. Boone about a claim.

Okay, you can go ahead
and take a seat,

and I'll let you know
when Bill's ready to see you.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Could you pass me
one of those magazines?

All I got here
is "Good Housekeeping."

Yeah.

Henry.

Thank you.

Okay, so,

I just invited Bill and the boys

over for dinner tonight.

Why?

Well, it feels like
the right thing to do,

considering how nice
Bill has been

about all of this.

I don't think that

Bill and Thomas even get along.

Are you sure that that's
a good idea?

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

I get that it might be
awkward for you

after your fight with Clay,

but I think you two
can sit through

one dinner together.

So, do you want me
to give you a ride home?

- I could take my break early.
- No, I can walk.

Just takes longer to heal.

You understand?

When I said I'd protect you,

I meant it.

You shouldn't've done that.

It's dangerous.

What if Bill had caught you
recording him?

You heard him.
He likes me.

He thinks that we're, like,

allies or something,

which means that I have access.

That's gotta be good, right?

I need you to tell me

everything you know
about Amos Miller.

I c... I c...

That is the only way I can help.

Bill thinks that Amos is the one

who put Clay in the hospital.

Do you think Amos...

I mean, I know that you said
he overdosed,

but do you think that...

I don't know anything for sure.

Have you seen

a small Bible

with Amos' name on the front?

Uh, either at
Bill's house or the dealership?

No.

But the Boones are coming
to my house for dinner tonight.

Henry left him there,
Thomas, and then she...

Look, it's just a dinner, okay?

You don't owe Bill a thing.

They're not coming over.

- Jenna...
- No, let me make up an excuse.

We could...

I don't know.
I'll say that I'm sick.

Please don't.

It's fine.

How is it fine?

One night's not gonna kill me.

Uh, it might.

That family is made up entirely

of people capable of murder.

I can handle it.

Who cares if you can handle it?

You shouldn't have to.

It's like you're trying to
punish yourself or something.

Maybe I am.

Well, that's fucked-up.

Yeah, sure is.

What the hell, Henry?

You're...

practically a misogynist

against yourself now.

You didn't have to
bring anything, Bill.

Please,
it's the least I could do.

We don't get a lot of home
cooking at the Boone house.

I bought that bottle
some years ago,

when I was in Italy.

I was letting it age,

but then I got sober,

and so I'm just glad

it could go to a good home.

I would kill

to go to Italy.

Ever since I saw that movie,

"Under the Tuscan Sun."

Oh.
Has anyone seen that?

Yeah, I have.
It's pretty good.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Italy would suit you.

Ah, well, someday maybe.

Everyone dig in.
Don't let it get cold.

Bill?

You praying, Lucas?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Um... Sorry, sorry.

It's just something that I started
doing recently. It's, uh...

No, would you...
Please, don't apologize.

We should all do it.

Would you mind leading us?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Thank you, Lord,

for this food we are
about to receive.

In Jesus' name, amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Clay, when are you
going back to school?

Um... Next week.

Bet you're anxious
to get back at it, huh?

Hang out with your pals
and all that stuff.

Yes, sir, yeah. I've been going
a little stir-crazy at home.

Jenna, would you mind
passing me the rolls, please?

All right, just...

Thanks.

Anytime.

That's quite a scar there
on your arm, Clay.

Oh, yeah.
Broke my arm when I was a kid.

He fell out of a tree.

How do you know that?

I told her.

Henrietta stopped by
the office today

to apologize for the rock,

and, you know, we chatted
about a lot of things.

The wine's good.

Glad to hear it.

You're quite the cook.

Thank you.

How's the chicken?
Is that all right?

Outstanding.

You take the living room.

Hey, hey, I gotta talk to you.

Stay the fuck away from me.

- Lucas, please.
- Hey, hey, hang on.

Just, I...

Look, did Clay...

Did he really do
what you said he did?

I heard you guys talking.

Oh, shit.

- Ah, shit.
- Please leave me alone.

Henry, Henry, listen to me.
I...

I am so sorry.

Really, no one should have to
go through that, ever.

I... I mean that.

Look, I just need to know

why you told Clay

that you hurt him.

I can't deal with this
right now.

Please, I ha...
I need to know.

Did you lie about the Millers?

Yes, I fucking lied!

Your dad drove me
to their fucking farm

and would not let me leave
until I...

I can't deal with this.

But Magic won
almost twice as many titles.

No, titles are for teams.

You always gotta pay attention
to the personal stats.

Bird had way more
points per game,

more rebounds, better
three-point percentage...

The better free-throw player...

Greatest player of all time,
in my opinion.

Seriously, better than Jordan?

Yeah, Jordan sucked.

I think you've had enough.

- You put Bird...
- Oh, Dad...

Oh, shit!

- Hey.
- It's all right, it's all right.

- Jesus.
- It just slipped.

Put some pressure on it.

Use the napkin.
- Maybe we should go. I'm gonna take him home.

No!
We have a...

We have a first aid kit
in the kitchen.

No, that's fine. We have stuff
that we can fix it with at home.

I'll do it! I'll do it!
I can take care of it.

- Clay!
- No, Henry.

I've got it.

I'll take care of it.

Just go in the kitchen.

- Um, no, no, let me do it. Let me, let me.
- It'll be all right.

I found it.

Put it back.

But this is proof.

We should reconsider
Bill's offer.

Let's agree to meet.

Fucking stings.

Hey.

Are we cool?

Jesus, Henry, I don't get you.

You freak out on me last night,

you ask me to come over today.

Now you're ignoring me.

Is this like a game?

Are you getting off on this
or what?

There, fixed.

Ow.

Hey, you know, I wouldn't mind
an apology.

For last night.

I'm sorry, what did you say?

It's pretty fucked-up to accuse
someone of something they didn't do,

so I said I'd like an apology.

Something you didn't...

And Henry,

I have enough shit going on

in my life right now

without you spreading rumors,

you know, about me.
You understand?

- You fucking piece of shit!
- Whoa.

I want to know how you do it.

I want to know.
I want to know how

you can live with yourself.

Just calm down.

Hey, Henry!

Henry! Henry!

Henry?

- Henry!
- Mom, please...

What's wrong?

Please, Mom, stay away from me.

- Please.
- Henry, sweetheart, stay with me.

I can't...
I can't breathe, Mom.

Baby, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here.

Listen, I tried, I tried.

Save your energy, baby.
Don't talk.

I tried.
I have to.

- No, you don't.
- I have to.

Clay, in his truck,

he... he forced himself on me

and he forced himself...

He forced himself?
I don't understand.

He... he hurt...

He hurt me, Mom.

Mom...

- Henry, no.
- I can't...

- Henry...
- I can't breathe...

Henry! Henry!

Henry!

Thomas!

Thomas!

I've got you, baby.

Cleo, what?
- Thomas!

Help me!

Oh, my God, baby.
