Impulse (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - They Know Not What They Do - full transcript

As Henry sets out to find her mother, Cleo navigates an unwanted showdown between Bill Boone and his business associates.

I'm really contemplating
telling Elaine about Jeremy.

Oh, my God,
not this again, dude.

We have a no-alcohol
office policy.

- He should respect that.
- Yeah, yeah, I know,

but you found a bottle of wine
under his desk

at a Christmas party.

Okay, I just think
in our line of work,

it's pretty inappropriate.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so,

let's say HR receives
an anonymous tip



about some vodka
in Jeremy's top drawer.

Go on.

Then, hypothetically,

they'd do a routine search
of his desk

and find a stash.

A stash that you planted.

Yeah, or he could be holding.

I mean, you don't truly know

anybody that you work with.

I mean, look at you.

I know those aren't
prescription lenses.

Okay, well, I know what
this is actually about.

You just want
a sweet corner office.

Okay, his office is just
so much closer to the bathroom.



- There it is.
- Yeah, and it would make

field work a lot easier

if I didn't have to go back

to that fucking cubicle.

Since when did you not like
being in the field?

I thought you liked
traveling with me.

- Oh, God.
- He's weak.

Shit, I thought he wasn't
supposed to teleport.

He's not.

Bet he needs more Factor.

Do we have enough?

Yeah, back in the van.

- Okay.
- All right.

One, two, three, fold out.

Okay.
All right, all right.

Okay.

Yep.

All right.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Jenna!

I think so.

You?

Yeah.

He... he just...

Yeah.

He was in your room, Henry,

when I came home.

I saw him, too.

Where?
At... at the hospital?

No.

When I was a kid.

It was at Dippy's house,

but, like, before
it was Dippy's house,

when it was my house,

and my dad was there.

W-When you were a kid?

I don't... I don't understand.

They were fighting,

and my dad

was trying to protect me,

and he didn't leave.

He didn't leave me.
He didn't leave my mom.

That guy took him.

He was the one who took him.

And now he's after you.

Yeah.

Hey, it's... it's my dad.

He's at the hospital.
What do I do?

What if they saw you disappear?

Jenna, I don't know.
Don't answer.

No, I really think...
- Jenna...

I really think that
I should answer it.

Ow!
Jenna,

look at this shit.

How are we supposed to
explain this?

We just...

We're gonna...

We will figure it out, okay?

We're gonna start cleaning,
and we'll figure it out.

Okay?

Okay.

Cleo, you shouldn't go in there.

- Get away from me.
- Listen, you cannot be here.

I'm serious right now.

- The hell I can't.
- Listen to...

- Hey.
- Cleo.

Cleo!

- I tried to stop her.
- Did you know?

Did you know what your son
did to my daughter?

Look, this isn't...

Let's discuss this later.

Jesus, Bill.

No, not about that!

Look...

Not until last night,
but I spoke with Clay,

and I think there's been
a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

Your son assaulted my daughter.

Now, we don't know anything
to be sure.

Excuse me?

What did you say to her?

Why is she scared of you?

Scared of me?
What's...

Honestly, I have no idea.

I have done everything
in my power to protect her.

I would never hurt her.

Protect her from what?

Look, Cleo, Henrietta...

It's Henry, not Henrietta.

I'm sure that...
That helps you think of her

as some delicate little girl,

but it is Henry, okay?

Okay.

All right, fine.
Henry.

But look, I'm the one

who's trying to make
this right, even now.

Tell me you didn't
hire me to shut her up.

To keep your kid out of jail.

No, of course not.
I told you...

You think because you've
got money and police friends,

you can buy your way
out of hurting my daughter?

No way.
No fucking way.

I'm not scared of you
and your stupid auto center,

folksy businessman
of America bullshit.

All right, Mrs. Coles,
it's time for you to leave.

Get your hands off me!

This isn't your problem, Dale.

We both know that's not true.

Don't make this worse.

What are you even doing here?

What's going on?

Listen, Cleo,
I'll come by the house later

and explain everything.

Lucas, escort Cleo
out of the building.

Come on, just...
Cleo, come on, come on.

What is going on?

Bill!

You look good, Lucas.

Glad to see it.

I don't believe
we've had the pleasure, ma'am.

She's a new employee
at the auto center.

Don't worry.

You can trust her.

I think it's time for me to go.

I don't think that's wise
just now.

Don't you agree, Bill?

You're gonna have to
stay with us for a while now.

All right, come on.

Just get back here.

Let's get down to business,
shall we?

Deputy Hulce.

Aren't you a little close?

Hiding in plain sight.
Get in.

As a reminder, you're here
as a friend of the DEA

and not in any official
capacity an officer of the law.

Understood.

Your sidearm.

You're kidding.

DEA protocol.

There's a headset for you.

Coffee's a little cold,
but it still works.

I'm good.

Get comfortable. There's always
a fair amount of dick-measuring

before these assholes
get down to it.

Maybe you could help us
with an ID.

Tall blonde in the back?
She's not in our files.

Just started seeing her
around Boone Motors recently.

That's Cleo Coles.

She's a sales rep
at the dealership.

Total bystander.

So she works with Bill?

On the dealership side.

She's not part of
the drug business.

Got a positive ID on Barbie.

New employee.
All teams stand by.

Can we get her out of there?

Jeremiah Miller just arrived.

We're not doing anything
until we see cash and drugs.

Hi, sweetheart.

It's me.

Um,

I'm sitting with you now
at the hospital and...

I don't know, I just...

I wanted to hear your voice.

That's all.

I'm gonna keep calling you.

Hi, sweetheart.

It's me.

Um,

I'm sitting with you now
at the hospital and...

I don't know., I just...

I wanted to hear your voice.

That's all.

- All right.
- Oof!

And here we go.

You stitching me up
with a machete back there?

Almost done, sir.

Um, she's not in
her sunniest of moods,

but she'd like to talk to you.

Oh, hey.
If there's a free moment,

could you mention how well
we did intercepting you?

We could use the high marks
for our promotion, so...

Give me the fucking phone.

- Yeah?
You'd be dead

if my team hadn't
tracked you down.

I'm aware.

What the hell happened?

I need to know if, uh,
any of my previous targets

had a daughter named
Henrietta Coles.

There's no evidence
to support hereditary links.

Besides, those files
are classified.

Well, de-fucking-classify them,
then.

Listen, I get it.
You're tired.

We'll search the database,
if that's what you want,

but I need you back
in Reston right away.

All right.

You gonna count it?

Money isn't necessary.

What are you talking about?

These are gifts, free of charge.

Is this some kind of a joke?

It may come as a surprise
to you, Bill, but I...

I rarely joke.

What's going on here?

After many fruitful years,

we've come to the end of
the road.

I began this business
in service of my community

and my family,
not at the cost of them.

All fields fallow in time.

We will no longer
need your services.

What the hell is going on?

This gift is a farewell,

and we only want one thing
in return.

Honesty.

I want to admit that you

and your boy here

killed my son.

We need to move now.

Luis signaled to wait.

We need an exchange, Deputy.

Without money changing hands,

all we've got
are border violations

and armed possession.

Jeremiah is not here
for an exchange.

Lucas Boone murdered his son.

This is revenge.

It's about to turn into
a bloodbath.

There are innocent lives
in there!

We move when Luis calls it in.

Jenna?

I cleaned everything up.

But there's a crack
in one of the picture frames

and the blood's not coming out,
but maybe if we just,

you know,
let it soak for a minute.

You know, we could try
bleaching it.

I mean, it might hurt the rug,

but bleach is easier to...

It's easier to explain
than blood, and...

What a...

I can do it.

Doesn't it hurt?

Keeping everything inside?

I mean, I'm...

I don't know if that means

I'm weaker, but

I'm not sure if it's
strength, what you're doing.

What are you talking about?

I mean, I d... I just
stabbed a guy

and spent, like, a half-hour

cleaning the blood
out of our rug,

but you're just washing
the dishes,

like it's any other
day of the week.

Jenna, I'm...

Aren't you scared?

I am.

I am really fucking scared,
Henry,

and you just want to pretend
like none of this happened.

That's not true...

No, like Clay never hurt you,

like you didn't just teleport

out of a hospital,
like there isn't

something wrong with you,
but there is!

There is something
really wrong with you.

Jesus, Jenna, I know!

What do you want me to do?
Do you want me to cry?

Do you want me to run to my mom?

What do you think
she's gonna do?

Do you think that she's
gonna want to just stay here,

where all of this shit
has happened?

She fucking likes it here.

I told your mom.

About Clay.

What?

Do you remember
what you said to her?

Before your seizure?

Henry, you...

You started to tell her
the truth.

And she asked me if I
knew anything about it,

and I...

No.

That wasn't yours to tell.

It's my dad.
I can't just keep ignoring him.

Just answer it.

And say what?

I don't know.

Tell him that I woke up,

I got scared, I came home,
and I'm fine now.

So lie again for you?

You know, you act like
you don't have any secrets.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just do whatever you want.

You clearly do anyway.

Hi, Dad.
Jenna.

Listen to me.
Henry is missing.

You know, maybe she's
wandering around the hospital.

I-I really don't know. Nobody knows.
- Dad, slow down.

Maybe she woke up in
the room when I wasn't there.

I mean, I should have been
there, but I wasn't,

and I promised Cleo.
I promised your mom,

and now nobody has any idea
where the hell she is.

No, Dad, it's okay.

She's here.

She... what?

What?

Yeah, she's at the house.

Uh, she woke up and got scared

and... I don't know.

I think somebody
may have dropped her off.

I don't know, but she's here.
She's okay.

Okay.

And you didn't think to

pick up the phone
and tell me this?

Hell, I've been calling

and calling and calling.

Yeah, I'm sorry.
Do you have any idea

how worried everybody is here?

I got doctors and nurses.

They are scouring
this entire hospital.

This is insane,
and I do not believe you.

You, of all people,

with everything that happened
with your mom,

you should know how important
it is to call.

Y-you're right.
Um...

I'm really sorry, Dad.

And what am I
supposed to tell Cleo

when she calls now, huh?

Isn't she at
the hospital with you?

No, she left.
Said she had something

to do for Henry.

And I called, like,
a dozen times.

- Nothing.
- What do you... what do you mean?

Hi!
Excuse me, hi!

Yeah?

I know where Henry is.

And my daughter.

Just give me a sec.
I gotta go deal with this,

and I will talk to you
when I get home.

Did he say she left?

- Why would she leave?
- I don't know.

He said she needed to
do something for me?

What does that mean?

Jenna, what exactly
did you tell her?

I-I told you.

She was beating herself up
for not knowing

what was happening to you.

She just needed to understand.

What?

What Clay did to me?

Yeah.

That, and... Bill.

I told her that you were
afraid of him.

Why? Why?
Why would you do that?

Because you are!
Okay?

You won't tell me why,
but I... I know that you are.

Jenna, I don't... I wouldn't...
I wouldn't tell you

because you do shit like
this, Jenna! Fuck!

Shit.

Henry.

Henry, we thought you were
going to die, okay?

And your mom... she was...

She was asking me questions,
and she deserved answers.

- What are you doing?
- I need your keys.

- Why?
- Because my mom is off

to pick a fight with
Bill fucking Boone

because of some shit
that you said!

Okay, well, I'm...
I'm coming with you!

Well, you got some balls on you,

coming in here and making
false accusations.

They're not false, Bill.

We found Amos' Bible
in your son's bedroom.

You broke into my house?

Even you had to admit
how strange it is he died here.

That demanded inquiry,

which paid off.

I don't even know what the hell

you think this Bible proves.

It proves

that your son was with Amos

before he died.

He's probably the last one...

Probably the last one
who saw him alive.

Well, shit, Jeremiah.

You've been living on that farm
so damn long,

I don't think you realize

that what you're
throwing around here

is a hell of a lot
of conjecture.

- Isn't that right?
- Yeah, I didn't do anything.

I get it.

I get it.
I do.

You wanted to believe your son
was stronger than he was,

but please, that doesn't mean
that you have to

take my boy down with him.

I will give you this one chance

for atonement.

Get down on your knees,

confess to murdering my son,

and beg for forgiveness.

From Amos,

from my wife, from God.

I'm not doing that.

I will do it with you.

Beg for my own forgiveness.

Dear Lord, we pray

for all the hurt

all the pain, all the sorrow,

that we caused our community

and our families.
Please, Bill.

- Do it with me. Bill!
- Stop.

Do it!

So you do not feel my pain.

Get up.
You're embarrassing yourself.

You don't think
I've suffered enough?

I've got nothing to atone for.

Your son crippled my boy.

He put Clay
in that fucking chair

for the rest of his life!

What?

Amos? What?

Stop.

Truly, Bill, my son

- would never do such a sur...
- Her daughter was there!

She saw everything.

What?

She pointed out Amos to me.

She said he was the one
who did it.

You brought Henry into this?

I was protecting our kids.

He attacked Clay and Henrietta.

I told her I'd protect her,
and I meant it!

This girl lied to you, Bill.

My son would never do
such a thing.

I swear on my life.

What about the shipment
my driver lost?

It was retribution.
You took the money.

We didn't even know about that

until you offered our money
back to us!

What have you done?

All of this...
This is built on delusion.

Where is this girl now?
I want to speak with her!

Pop, I told you she lied to you.

- Lucas, stop.
- She fucking lied. No.

No, this is over.
This is over right now.

We don't even know if
he's telling the truth!

Yes, we do!

Henry made it up
to get you off her ass

because... 'cause you
scared the shit out of her.

And

look, Amos didn't...

He didn't deserve
what happened to him.

And he always called you
the weak one.

- Wait!
- Oh, shit!

Gun!

Shit!
Move in! Move in!

Deputy, wait!

You are clear to breach.

Position!

I need more ammo!

Brendan!

Cleo, stay down!

Okay.

Come on! Go!

Are you okay?
You're not hurt? Okay.

- I'm hit!
- What?

Follow me and stay close.

Oh, shit!

Okay, go.
Run.

Okay.

Go!

Get down! Get down!

Okay, get in.

- What is it?
- You'll be safe.

Just keep your head down.

Stop!

Drop the bag.

Turn around!

I... oh, shit!

Oof!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

- Hey, move over!
- Oh, my God!

Move the fuck over right now!

- Move!
- Please, no, Lucas!

Lucas, don't!

- Ah!
- Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

DEA! Drop your weapons!

Hands up!
Freeze!

Let me see your hands!
Drop your weapons right now!

- You, don't move!
- That's it, easy!

Hands behind your back!

Okay, okay, put your hands
down right now!

Face on the floor!

It's over, Bill.

Easy.

Get down on your knees!

Hey, hey, hey!
Don't move!

Oh, my God.
That's my mom's car.

Henry, I think we should
stay in the car. Henry!

Mom!

- Hey, stop, stop.
- Mom!

Henry?

- Where's my mom?
- It's fine, it's fine.

Listen to me.

We were right about Lucas

and what he did to Amos Miller.

And whatever Bill had you do,

we got him.

We got Bill Boone.

Is my mom here?
Can I talk to her?

- What?
- She's with Lucas.

What?
What does that mean?

He took her.

Okay, where?
Where did he take her?

We're not sure yet.

Are you fucking serious?

But we have an APB out,

and we are going
to find her, okay?

How?

How do you know that?

You don't... you don't know that.

I don't think Lucas has

any intention of hurting
your mom.

You just told me
he killed someone!

Fuck... shit.

Henry, where are you... Henry!

Fuck!

It's okay.
Let's just...

Is here anywhere in particular
that you're headed?

- I don't know!
- I...

Okay, how about we...
We head back to town?

No!

Lucas,

I need to get back
to the hospital.

I need to get back to Henry.

Yeah, then why did
you leave her?

What?

Why didn't you just stay
at the hospital?

Why'd you have to come running
back in the dealership like that?

I was just about to
get the fuck out of there,

and then you made me
go back in, you made it worse.

And I told you that, too,

but you wouldn't listen to me.

Nobody fucking listens to me!

He never listened to me, never.

If he would've just
fucking listened to me,

we wouldn't have
all this fucking bullshit.

Dead people everywhere...
Did you see that shit?

Like, what the fuck?

And yes, I messed up, okay?

I did, but how am I supposed
to know the real shit

when everybody keeps
fucking lying to me?

Okay.

Listen to me, honey.

Will you listen to me?

What?

Listen, we're gonna just... let's
turn around, let's go back.

We're not going back.

What... what's wrong?

Are you okay?

You were right.

I should've told her.
I should've fucking told her.

She would've never come here.

She would've known
not to fucking come here!

Who?
Your mom?

I got a kid killed, Jenna.

A kid's fucking dead,
and it's my fault.

And now Lucas Boone

just drove off with my mom.

I mean, he just
fucking took her,

and nobody knows
where the hell they are,

and I don't...

I don't know what to do!
You...

You fucking just tell me
what to do?

I don't know what to do.

I'm gonna call Clay.

What?
No.

It's his brother, and Lucas

might've taken your mom there,

or maybe Clay knows
where he'd take her.

Jenna, he's not going to
tell you shit.

We'll make him.

Mr. Boone, I'm Deputy...

I know who you are,
Deputy Hulce.

I guess you would.

I told Dale to keep
an eye on you.

Well, he should've listened.

What makes you think he didn't?

You,

sitting there,

handcuffed.

Mm?

You got a smirk on your face.

Well, that's a perk
I rarely get to enjoy.

Excuse us, Deputy.
Okay, Mr. Boone,

we're gonna need to get
that wire back from you.

Never should've gotten
that messy.

Well, as long as you get
my boy Lucas back,

it'll all be worth it.

Right.

Come on, gotta get you
processed and released.

What is this?
You're not letting him go.

What the fuck, Luis?

The Millers were always
our primary target.

- But...
- Look.

Look, you're not the only person

that told us about this meet.

Bill set it up.

The whole case against Jeremiah.

Even handed us a bunch of
dirty cops.

Hell, you'll probably
get a promotion.

So he walks?

Full immunity?

Probation, time served.

But what about Lucas Boone?

He's got an innocent woman
with him.

You know we have an APB out.

We'll find them.

Take today as a win.

Trust me.

Devil always catches up, huh?

What does that mean?

Well, my stepdad is a pastor.

Pretty big one, too.

Like, he's got a microphone
and shit,

and he's always
saying stuff like

"Strong men have to take care
of the weak, because..."

I don't know.
Because some...

Look, I... I tried
to be strong.

I really, really tried.

I tried to take care of
my brother

and my dad, but it all got
so messed up!

You don't always have to be
the strong man, Lucas.

You know, when I came home
that night,

I told him what I did.

I mean, he asked me to do it,

but the look on his face
was like...

It's like I wasn't even me
he was looking at.

Like I was my brother,
you know, like I was Clay.

He was...
He was so proud of me.

Isn't that fucked up?

Yeah.

That man at the

dealership with the hat...

I killed his son.

God, I thought I was
doing something right,

something justified.

- Henry didn't know.
- Henry?

Yeah, it's not her fault.
You don't know my dad.

I mean, not really.
He...

He makes people do things
that they don't want to do,

and he has had it out for
Jeremiah for years. I knew that.

I mean, shit, he probably
drove her up their farm

with Amos in mind,

just to get under
Jeremiah's skin.

Hey, truth is, I...

I am no good.

I wish I were,
but I don't even think

I ever had a chance.

My brother and... my dad...

We're not good men.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

Wait, what are we doing?

Lucas, Lucas,
what are you doing?

Lucas, I need to get back
to my daughter.

Please get out of the car.

Lucas...

Get out.

What's he smiling about?

All have strayed

and come short of God's glory.

There is none righteous,
not one.

When I dragged him

off the road... Amos...

Every step I took, he just got

heavier and heavier,

and he wasn't that big
of a dude,

so I just kept telling myself,

"Just a little bit further, man.

"Just a little bit further,

"and then this shit
will finally be over,

"and you don't have to
think about it anymore

and it's all just
gonna go away."

And then,

I got back to the car.

I found this

on the floor.

I mean, I should've
brought it back

and I should've left it
with Amos,

or just ditched it,
but I couldn't.

I think it's from his mom,
and...

He...

I read his notes in the corners,

and... things
he had underlined,

and his questions.

Like, there's nothing
really special here,

but I just go over it again
and again, and it's like,

you know, at least I know
what he was thinking, you know?

You can't... forgive me,
can you?

For what I did?

Ah, you're right.

You shouldn't.

I know Henry needs you.

I...

What about you?

What about me?

At least let me take
the bullets from that gun.

Please.

You're a good mom,
you know that?

My mom, she tries, but just...

- Doesn't.
- Lucas...

Tell Henry I'm sorry, okay?

Holy shit.

Oh, my God.

No, Henry...

Henry, no!

- Mom...
- Would Lucas?

I don't know.

No, Henry!

You don't even know
if she's in there!

Henry!

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Is my mom here?

Henry...

Clay, is my mom here?
Is she here?

No.

No...

Please help me.

Henry...

Fuck.

Here.

Ah!

Townes?

Henry.

Henry.

Henry.
What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Come on.
