Impulse (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Awakenings - full transcript

As Cleo fights for her daughter's well-being, Henry battles her own inner demons.

What are you doing?

You must be freezing.

Here.

You should really
cover yourself up.

Wouldn't want anyone
getting the wrong idea.

Yeah, you're right.

Let me help you.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, get in.

I don't... I don't think
I should...



Get in the fucking truck.

Um... I should probably go.

Go where?

Um.

No, I'm being serious.

Ow.
Zach, get off of me.

Please, no.

- Stop!
- Get off of me.

Just relax, okay?

Stop! Get off of her! Stop!

No, no, no.

- Please stop, please.
- Come on!

- Jenna, Jenna, Jenna!
- No, no!

Jenna!



Clay, please help me.
He's hurting her! Please.

Jenna, I just want
to make you feel good.

Clay, unlock the truck!

Calm down.

Unlock the fucking truck!

Jenna!
Jenna, I'm here!

Run.

Run!
Henry, go!

Henry.

Henry!

Henry!
Henry!

Henry!

Still in status.

Known history.

Seizing for over ten minutes.

Push two CCs of Ativan.

BP is dropping.

99 over 52.

Okay, sweetheart, I'm here.

Come on, come on!

Please, you have to wait here.

Wait, but I...

But I...

Whew, what a fucking night, huh?

Help your brother
get to bed, would you?

Lucas.

No.

Look, we'll call Cleo and
Thomas in the morning, okay?

There's nothing we can do
about it right now.

Just help your brother,
all right?

Why don't you help him?

Why don't you stop
fucking around?

Okay?
We got a big day tomorrow.

No, we need to call it off.

The meeting.

Amos Miller didn't hurt Clay.

Henry lied about
the whole thing.

Oh, this shit again?

She told me tonight
when we were upstairs.

What do you mean?
Why would she say that?

- Why would she lie?
- Why don't you ask him?

Ask him what happened
the night of the accident.

- What's he talking about?
- I don't know.

- Hell, you don't know.
- Don't. Stop it, man.

- Henry came here
and she told Clay...

- Lucas, don't!
- Why do you think...

Why do you think
we have a broken window?

- Hey, shut the fuck up!
- Because you fucking hurt her!

You tried to fucking rape her!

Hey, fuck you, Lucas!

- What?
- I would never

do that!
Dad, I would never do that.

I tried to tell Lucas.
Henry's lying.

- Yeah, I believe her.
- Hold on.

You're my fucking brother!

How could you believe
that bitch over me?

Look, there is no reason
for us to get...

God, stop acting like
a fucking victim, Clay.

I'm so sick of it.

You act like you
are untouchable!

- Lucas...
- I am tired of

cleaning up after your shit!

I'm tired of cleaning up

after everybody's shit!

Stop it.

You're tired.
We all are.

No, you told me... you told me
what I needed to do.

You said, "Lucas, take care
of this family."

Do what's right.
Do it for your brother."

- Dad, what's he talking about?
- Stop.

- But you were wrong.
- Stop it. Not here.

You were wrong.
I shouldn't have done that.

I shouldn't have listened
to a single fucking thing

- that you ever fucking said to me!
- Stop it!

None of it happened!

What you said...
None of it fucking happened!

Calm down.
Now listen to me.

Okay?
Listen to me.

Pop, I shouldn't have
ever done that.

Go to your room.

- Dad...
- Now!

What you did was right.

Yes, it was.
Yes, it was.

All right? Now you need
to cut this shit out.

You're letting this girl
get inside your head.

You don't need this right now.

We don't need this right now.

Now, let's get some rest

and we can talk about it
in the morning, okay?

Henrietta is
experiencing some kind of

extended non-convulsive seizure.

It's different than the
ones that she's had, and...

Well, frankly, it's different than
anything I've ever seen before.

Well, what does...
What does that mean?

Most patients who experience

non-convulsive seizures

do so when they're awake,

and some people don't even
realize that they're happening,

but obviously,
Henrietta has been unconscious

for several hours now,

and that, in and of itself,
is a medical anomaly.

But the good news is that
she's in stable condition,

and there's no signs
of brain damage.

Yeah, that...
That is good news.

Okay, well, what do we do now?

I mean, what are you...
What are you gonna do?

We're going to continue
to monitor her.

Is she gonna wake up?

She's gonna wake up, right?

It's our sincere hope, yes.

Well, how long
can she stay like this before...

Right now, we want to just, uh,
take things one step at a time.

We're gonna continue
to run some tests

and make sure that she
has everything that she needs,

but the longer that she is in the
seizure, the higher the risk.

Mom...

Hi, honey.
You hungry?

No.
Mom, listen.

I need you to come with me,
okay?

Jenna needs us.
She's been attacked, okay?

- She needs our help.
- I'm sorry, sweetheart,

but I'm stuck here.

Besides, we're gonna have
dinner together as a family.

Mom, Jenna needs us.

Steve's making us lasagne.

Crispy edges,
just the way you like it.

Isn't he the greatest?

- What the fuck?
- Hey, hey, hey.

Not in front of the big guy.

Don't you just love it here?

Phil?

Mom, I... I don't...
I don't understand.

- What's going on?
- Hey, Henry?

Hello?

While you're up, fetch me
another beer, would you?

I'll get you one.

Mom...

You promised me

that you were done with
this asshole.

I know,

but give him another shot,
for me.

No.

I need you to snap the fuck
out of this shit.

This is not fair to me.
I need you.

Don't be so mean to your mother.

She's doing the best she can.

Thomas...

Thomas!
Thomas!

Can you listen to me?
Jenna is in trouble.

She needs our help.

Okay?
Zach is trying to...

I think... I think
he's gonna rape her,

so I...

- I can't.
- She's your daughter!

Yeah, but I have to stay here
with your mom now.

She's gonna leave me soon.

Hey, gang.

I brought wine.

That's so sweet of you, Bill.

Mm...

I'm... I-I don't...

Henrietta, why don't
you go up to your room

so your mom and I
can have some privacy?

Yes, sweetheart, listen to Bill.

Don't you always
end up there anyway?

Hi.

You're...

You.

What are you...

Get off my bed.

It's my bed, too.

Do you hear that?

It's close.

What is?

Monster.

I have to hide.

Wait!

What the fuck?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey.

You get any rest?

A little.

You know, family shouldn't
talk to family that way.

- Tell that to Lucas.
- Well, I'm telling it

to you right now.

Look...

You know, you boys
are all that I've got.

This is not the life
that I wanted for you.

I know it's not the life
that you wanted for yourself,

and that's on me.

That's on me, you understand?

I'm sorry, son.

I am so sorry.

Why are you saying that?

Because a man
oughta own up to his mistakes.

If for nothing else,
then because it'll

eat you up from the inside
if you don't.

It's just one of those things
you start to understand

when you get older.

My father used to tell it to me
all the time,

but I was too stubborn
to listen.

I'm hoping it's not gonna be
the same way for you.

I need to know
what happened that night.

Between you and Henrietta.

Dad, I already told you.

Clay, this is just you and me
right now.

Okay?

I don't remember.

I don't remember a lot.

We were making out,

and...

I guess...

I mean, she wanted it.

I know she did.

I know when a girl...

You know?

I mean, I thought she wanted it.

You thought she wanted it?

Yeah, she seemed into it.

Is there a chance
that she wasn't?

How am I supposed to know
what's going on

in someone else's head?

Did she put up a fight?
Did she say no?

I don't know.

I don't know anymore.

Maybe she tried to say no.

Okay.

Hey...

You made a mistake.
That's all it was.

Look...

This stays here.

You understand?

What you just told me,

you can never say
to anyone else.

What about Lucas?

I'll talk to him.

That was...

It was just a mistake
that you made.

Son, it doesn't have
to define you.

I'm gonna take care of it.

I'm gonna do everything I can

to protect you, okay?

I told you...

You boys are everything to me.

Ma'am.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I can get you a bottle of water,

if you want. There's a
machine down the hall.

A cigarette would be better,

but thank you.

You know, when I was
pregnant with her,

I thought,

"This kid's
gonna change my life,"

but I had no idea how.

And she was always
a little pistol,

right out of the gate.
I mean...

She never made anything easy.

But I love her for it, I do.

I can never tell her that,
of course.

But...

I'm so proud of her.

For being...

She's so stubborn.

I mean, stubborn
as all get out, right?

But that's what's gonna make her

this interesting,
powerful woman.

I just...

I had no idea, I mean no idea,

how much I was missing.

I know her,

and I knew something
wasn't right.

I pushed so much shit on her.

But I just...

I wanted her to be
happy for me, you know?

And so everything
that she did or she said

that I should've questioned,

I just let it go,

but I should've pushed.

She was trying to tell me,
you know?

And I didn't listen.

Does she talk to you about Clay?

I don't...

I don't know what...

She told me
right before all this.

She told me he hurt her.

Do you know
what I'm talking about?

Jenna, if you know something,
please...

I need you to talk to me.

I don't... I don't know a lot.

I...

I was just home, you know,

when she got back.

She never would've
said anything to me otherwise.

When she got back from where?

It was the night
of Clay's accident.

She was... upset.

Like, it's hard to tell
when Henry is upset, but...

Did she tell you what happened?

No, not completely.

Did he...

Did he rape her?

I think he tried.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry.

I tried to convince her
to talk to you,

but you know Henry's...
Henry.

But I... I think something happened
with Clay's dad after that.

With Bill?
What do you mean?

I know that she's scared of him.

Why?

She didn't say, but...

it's... it's all of them.

Henry's afraid of
all of the Boones.

Hello?

Why'd you do this?

He didn't do anything wrong.

I di... I didn't.
I...

You killed him.

You killed him.

It's your fault!

Oh, shit.
Fuck!

Oh, okay.

Hold on.

Hold on, just...
Just one second.

Out of breath.

- Townes?
- Hello.

Jesus, you scared the shit
out of me.

My glasses

are too big to fit under this,

so...
It's really heavy.

Yeah, why are you wearing that?

Oh, this is my costume.

You should really think about
getting one.

All superheroes need them

to keep their identity a secret.

I'm not a s...

I'm not a superhero.

Look, I need your help
with something.

Like... like...

Like, as a... as a friend?

Yeah, sure.

Have you seen a little girl
anywhere?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

She was in my bedroom, and...

And then she was just gone,
and...

She said there's a monster,

and I think it's trying to
hurt her.

And I'm pretty sure
that she's me.

Like, when I was a kid.

I think I'm supposed to
protect her.

Why are you smiling?

Because this is
your hero's journey,

to rescue the little girl.

Don't you see?

That's why you're here.

You'll need this.

Come on, take it.

Let's go.

Come on.

I thought we were clear, Deputy.

Got a lot of shit on my plate.

Jeremiah Miller and the Boones

are gonna be
at the dealership today.

Could be an exchange.

How do you know this?

I have a source.

Okay.

Really? That's all
you're gonna give me?

It's a chance to arrest
the Mennonites

and the Boones on U.S. soil.

It seems like enough.

I don't trust
perfectly wrapped gifts.

There's always a catch.

Look, I have reason to believe

that Lucas Boone
killed Amos Miller.

I want to make sure
he's held accountable.

You regret it, don't you?

Defending your partner
for shooting that kid?

Where do you get off?

Just a question.

I didn't see what happened.

Yeah, but you knew.

White cop, black kid, unarmed.

Three bullets in the back.

Look, it ain't rocket science.

Okay, this does not have

anything to do with that.

I ain't judging.

Look, if we get ours,

you'll be a step closer
to getting yours,

but you know how it works.

You want Lucas Boone,

you build a case.

We'll be in touch.

Asshole.

Lord, we reach out
to you in our time of crisis.

We ask that you protect us,

and wash away our sins.

Grant us the strength

to face our enemies

with compassion
and understanding.

Be our shield

against evil.

For your divine justice,
we pray.

Amen.

Amen.

If you wish peace,
prepare for war.

We would be foolish
to travel blindly.

Come home.

You as well.

- Townes...
- I just saw your dad

walking around outside
in the cold.

Yeah, he's...

He's not really
a big fan of hospitals

with my mom and everything.

Oh.

Should I have brought marijuana?

- What?
- It's polite

to bring a sympathy gift
when someone's sick,

and the only thing
I know Henry likes

is marijuana.

I... I'm sure it'll be okay.

- Look...
- I was thinking.

What if she's in
some kind of power coma?

Like, a coma resulting from
a malfunction

of Henry's teleportation powers?

Yeah, I don't know,

but I think that we should
tell them the truth.

Who?

Cleo, my dad, the doctors...

And reveal Henry's powers?

No, definitely not.

- But...
- No, that's rule number one.

We never do that.

She's sick.
I hate more than...

Jenna, you're not used to people

looking at you strangely,

but they will.

No one will believe us,
and if they do,

they'll probably call
the military

and lock Henry up
in some compound

and do tests on her
like she's a lab rat,

like... like in
"Flight of the Navigator."

No.

The last thing Henry needs
is a betrayal of friendship.

We can figure this out
on our own.

Okay.

What about her dad?

We could try to find him. I mean,
she... she teleported to that house.

And for all we know,
teleportation...

Could be genetic.

Okay, I can go through
Cleo's things at the house,

see what I can find.

Your hands are so dry.

Put some lotion on them.

Um, excuse me? Can someone
come in here, please?

I think something's happening.

Heart rate's increasing.

Sweetheart, fight!

Come on,

fight.

All right.

- Let's go.
- I can't.

This is the threshold.

You need to cross it yourself.

Townes, I told you
I needed your help.

- Why can't you just... 'Cause
you're the hero, Henry.

Only you can save the little
girl from the monster.

But what if I can't?

It's you.

Don't touch her.

She didn't do anything wrong.

You sure about that?

Ow! Stop!

Please, please, just leave her alone.
Please.

You're not the only one
who's special, Henry Coles.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm not gonna let him hurt you.

Ah!

Oh, shit, what's happening?
Get the doctor.

Henry, I'm here.
I'm right here.

Oh, my God!

- Shit!
- Airway's tightened.

Okay, five milligrams
of midazolam.

Step back, ma'am.

Please, step back.

- Oh, my God! Get
her some oxygen.

- I've lost the lead!
I'm trying to reach it.

Henry, Henry, wake up!
Please wake up!

Henry...

Henry! Henry!

Henrietta!
Oh, ho, ho, ho!

- I've got ya. Argh!
- Dad?

I'm gonna get you, bucko!

You can't.
You're too slow.

- Too slow?
- Why, I'm

the fastest pirate
in all the land!

What's your move, lassie?

You got me.

I've been struck down

by young pirate Hank,

the strongest pirate

I ever did see.

Wake up!
Wake up!

Okay, I'm awake, I'm awake.

Matey. I'm awake, Hank.
Awake, Hank.

The monster's back.

Remember?

What do you mean?

Henry...

Come on, come on!

- Dad, stop...
- Come on!

Come on!

- Come on, it's okay.
- Please...

It's okay. Shh, shh, shh.
It's okay.

Shh.

Be quiet and stay here.

Please, don't do this.

I can help you.
Just...

Give me a chance.

Please! Please!

It's not good enough. There's got
to be something more you can do.

Just because the medication
didn't take

doesn't mean I've given up.

She's stable, for now,

and I've got calls in

to a number of specialists.

In the meantime, we are gonna
monitor her condition...

You're gonna monitor
her condition?

- We're going to keep her comfortable.
- Yeah, okay.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I wish I had better news
for you.

Me too.

You know, darling, she's strong.

She's a fighter.
She'll pull through this.

- Please don't. Just...
- Hey...

Please don't.
Just don't.

I just can't stand here anymore!

What are you... what are you...
Whoa, where are you going?

- What do you... what is wrong?
- She needed me,

and I did nothing.
I did nothing.

I have to go.

- Cleo...
- I have to go.

Just call me if she wakes up.

I-I'm telling you, Pop,
I just... I have this feeling

like they know.

Okay, they... they...

- Look, they know it was me!
- The Millers don't know shit.

I told you they think
it was an overdose.

Yeah, of course
they're gonna tell you that!

Do you really think
that I would ever

put you in harm's way?

Huh?

- Of course not.
- No, no.

No.

I told you,
I got this thing handled.

I just need you to trust me.

You do trust me, don't you?

- Good.
- Yeah.

Good.

Look, I spoke to Clay.

They way I see it,

Henrietta told Clay she hurt him

because she wishes she had.

Just a broken girl's way
of causing chaos.

Makes a hell of a lot more sense

than some girl
crushing your brother

with her super strength, right?

- Yeah. I mean, you
saw her at dinner.

Jesus Christ.

She's as handicapped as Clay is.

Yeah, right.
Yeah.

Heh.
All right, now look.

Pull yourself together

and meet me and the guys
at the shop.

The Millers will be here soon.

- Okay?
- Okay.

And do me a favor.

Stop treating Clay like shit.

He's been punished enough.

This is Cleo.
Leave a message.

Cleo, it's Anna.

Look, I... I shouldn't have
lied to you the other night,

but there's something
you should know.

It's not safe for you
to go to work today.

Stay away from Boone Motors.

Look, I wish I... I could
tell you more, but I can't.

Just...

Can you just call me back?

Okay.

Bill?

Uh, uh, Cleo.

- Hey, uh, is Henry okay?
- Where is he?

Where's your father?
I need to talk to him.

Oh, okay, he's...
He's busy right now.

Look, you... you cannot be here.

Listen, this is really
not a good time right now.

I know what Clay did
to my daughter.

- Oh... Uh...
- Did you know, Lucas?

- Did you all know?
- No.

Is that why he hired me?
To make nice?

No, no... I mean, I don't know.

I... I don't know.

- He said something to her. I know he did.
- Okay, listen to me.

I get it, I do,
but we just can't

talk about this
right here, okay?

You need to get home.

Listen, it is not safe here.

Cleo! Cleo!

Get your fucking hands off me.

D... just wait.

Henry.

Hi.

Put the knife down.

Get the fuck out of my house.

Okay, whoa.

Hold on, I get it.

I get how this looks.

Of course you're scared,

but I think

we can help each other.

See, I'm not here for you.

I'm looking for Henrietta Coles.

Thought you'd end up back here.

Why can't you just
leave me alone?

Where'd that come from?

Get out of my room.

I'm not gonna do that.

Get out!
Get out of my fucking head!

Get out!

Get out!

Say you're sorry!

Nope.

Say it!

Say you're fucking sorry!

- Say it!
- Nope.

No, you heard...

You have to say it!

You have to say you're sorry!

Just admit what you did.

Just admit what you did to me,
please.

Just tell the fucking truth.

Just say it.

No.

Please.
Please.

No.

Please.

Please.

Stop.

I c-can't.

I can't.

Yes, you can.

If I do that, then
he'll get away with everything.

With everything
that he did to us.

You told me to kill the monster.

I'm killing the monster.
I'm doing it.

But he's not the monster.

I didn't...

I d... I didn't...

I mean, I thought that
I was protecting us.

Please.

Shit.

Stay calm, all right?

You just give me the knife

and everything's gonna be okay.

Just give me the knife.

Leave her alone!

Leave her the fuck alone!

Henrietta Coles.

You.

Listen...

I know

a lot about you.

I know what you can do.

Probably more than
you know yourself.

It always starts with seizures.

You took my dad.
