Impulse (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - The End of the World - full transcript

(CHOPIN'S FANTAISIE-IMPROMPTU
PLAYING ON PIANO)

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS)

JUDGE: You may begin
your second piece when ready.

Please proceed.

(SOFTLY) Of course.

Dad.

Say that again?

Is everything okay?

MR. KIDO:
The LIGO picked it up? Where?

NICOLAI: Hey.



Elaine.

They're asking for you.

MR. KIDO: Oh, fantastic.

The first piece... perfect.

Gotta get back in there.

MR. KIDO: That's great news.

He doesn't give a shit.

NICOLAI: Of course he does.

Come on.

This is it. You need to focus.

MR. KIDO: Let me call you back.

We found one in Mexico City.

You sure?

MR. KIDO: Can you go tonight?



Of course.

ELAINE: But, Dad,
can you just...

We'll send a car for you.

OFFICIANT: Excuse me, Miss Kido?

Dad, please?

You know how rare this is.

Nikolai.

Miss? Others are waiting.

You must finish now.

Please.

Go back inside. You'll be great.

OFFICIANT: Miss Kido?

Wait.

I'm coming with you.

MR. KIDO: Elaine.

What I'm doing here, this...
It doesn't matter.

What you and Nikolai are doing
is, is real, is meaningful.

How could anything
be more important?

I wanna help.

Please?

Let me be a part of this.

(SIGHS)

You understand
the commitment you're making?

Yes.

No tears.

(SMOOCHES) Hmm?

(SNIFFLES)

If it weren't for the brilliant
vision of my father,

who has been
such an inspiration...

If it weren't for my father,
a true visionary,

none of this
would've been possible.

(PEN SCRATCHING)

No, that's not right.

That's not right.

Why are you here?

I'm checking in.

Is everything okay?

ELAINE: And the girl, Henrietta?

NICOLAI: Henry.

Right.

What did she think of her room?

She trusts me now.

Good.

I'm excited to meet her
tomorrow.

I set up a monitor in Dad's room

so he can watch
the demonstration.

Elaine, you don't need
to rush this.

If something goes wrong,
there's no going back.

It won't.

I promised him.

Now, please.

If it weren't for my father,
a true visionary,

none of this
would've been possible.

As my father always says,

"The only failure in science
is failure of imagination."

JENNA: (MUFFLED)
You got to be quiet.

(WHISPERING) I'm really
excited about tomorrow.

(NORMAL VOICE) The limo's
picking us up at 7:00, okay?

(SMOOCHES)

(FOOTSTEPS THUNKING)

HENRY: Shouldn't you be in bed?

God, Henry.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(WHISPERING)
I thought you weren't into him.

I... I'm not. I just...

Okay, whatever.
I just wanted to be sure.

What are you doing up there?

It reeks of fumes.

I'm trying something.

Okay, well,
you shouldn't sleep up there.

You'll die, literally.

I'm not sleeping
in your sex bed.

We didn't have sex, okay?

We didn't do anything, really.

Mmm-hmm.

(LAUGHS) Jenna.

MAN ON TV: And that was.
That was the thing.

He was always there for me.

(INDISTINCT COMMENTARY ON TV)

Uh, hey, excuse me.
Can you go back?

Yeah, sure.

So I can't give up.

I got to do everything I can
to find him.

The search is still underway
for Bill Boone,

the local Reston man accused
of shooting at least one woman.

There are no significant leads,

but the sheriff's department
remains hopeful.

In the meantime,
the quiet town of Reston...

See?
They're supposed to be hearts.

Think I got a couple

Oh, what's this?

This is different.

They're hearts.

Oh.

Yeah, in honor
of the big dance tonight.

(UTENSILS THUNK)

Aren't, uh... Aren't you going?

- Ha.
- No.

You know, Henry, I know you
think that dances are "wack"...

- (LAUGHS)
- Or whatever, but,

You know,
this is really the only chance

you get to make these memories.

Yeah, or I could do
anything else.

Hey, honey. Happy dance day.

Thanks.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Oh, I'll get that.

You sleep okay?

(SIGHS) Not really.

Too excited about tonight?

Townes.

Hello, Ms. Coles.
How is your shoulder?

Oh, it's getting better.
Thank you.

Townes, do you want
some love cakes?

I-I don't understand what that
means, but definitely not.

Thank you.

I need to talk to Henry
in private if that's all right.

HENRY: Yeah.

Yeah, we can go to my room.

Would you open a window, please?
Paint fumes cause brain damage.

Yeah, yes.

(WINDOW CREAKS)

So are you okay?

Yes, that's better.

(FOLDERS CRINKLING)

Townes, Jenna told me
what happened...

This is all
my teleportation research,

dream analysis, map data,
and hacker correspondence.

Okay.

As of 9:07 a.m.,

I'm officially resigning
as your sidekick.

- Townes...
- You should know Nikolai is not a good person.

He's...

he... He's a murderer.

The hacker told me.

You can't just listen
to whatever Nikolai tells you.

I'm not.
That's not what I'm doing.

- It's not like that.
- You need to find out who he really is...

A Yoda or a Lando.

A real mentor or a fake ally.

It's a crucial difference.

That's what... What I would say
to you if I was your sidekick,

which I am not.

Townes, this is crazy. I'm...

Look, I still need your help.

I'm getting better at this,
but I still have no idea what I'm doing.

It's not crazy.
And it's not about you.

Uh, I would say "good luck,"

but some people think
that causes bad luck.

I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

(SIGHS)

(SNIFFLES)

(LINE RINGS)

WOMAN: The person you are trying
to speak to is not available.

Please leave a message at the...

(METALLIC RATTLING)

(WHOOSHING)

(PANTING)

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

(GRUNTING)

(FAINT PANICKED SHOUTING)

(FEET RUSTLING)

(WATER PATTERING)

NICOLAI: I tracked down
an old freelancer.

He hacked a computer,
looking to get to the girl,

wanted to meet her.

I'm aware.
That's why I took care of it.

Just tell the cleanup crew
to get on it.

Yes, I know they have names.

The guy on the recording
claims to be Ken Davidson,

Bill Boone's insurance adjuster.

- Claims to be?
- (SIGHS)

Well, he's talking
about a murder,

about cleaning up a body.

I just heard a guy who deals with
messes getting a mess cleaned up.

What about the girl
he's referring to?

Office romance.

Look, Anna, I like you. I do.

But you're not a cop anymore.

And now you're breaking into motel
rooms, illegally recording people.

At least I am doing something.

You should be looking
for John Does.

Bill's body has to be somewhere.

Now there could be a second vic.

I mean,
have you checked hospitals?

- Have you checked morgues?
- Why should I?

'Cause you got a hunch?

The blood in Cleo's dining room
is not a hunch.

It's inadmissible.

Doesn't make it any less real.

Do you understand what sort of
position you're putting me in here?

Hey... What the hell?

I got Karen Dale up my ass,
all right?

I'm doing us both a favor.

You should be looking for
leads, not erasing evidence.

It's not evidence. It's illegal.

Anna.

(SIGHS) Mano a mano?

Maybe think about
talking to somebody...

you know, about whatever it is
you got going on.

(WHEELCHAIR RATTLING)

(ELEVATOR WHIRRING)

I'll meet you inside.

Where the hell
have you been, huh?

I've been calling you.
I've been texting you every day.

I needed you.

Look, I just found out
about Dad on the news.

- Have you heard from him?
- No, Lucas.

He disappeared like you did.

Everyone fucking left me
with Mom.

Look at this stupid shit
she's making me wear.

It fucking itches.

What, you're staying
with her now?

Our house burned down.
Where have you been?

What?

Yeah, there's nothing left.

Fuck, man. I...

(STAMMERS) Clay, I... shit.

Okay, I'm sorry, man. I sh...

I should've been here. I...

I don't think Dad's coming back.

I don't... I don't think
he's even alive.

No, I... Well, man, on the news,
they said they're still looking for him.

Fuck what they say. They only
believe what that bitch tells them.

Henry. She's got
the whole town snowed.

And you were right about her.

(LAUGHING) She can do some shit.

She's got this fucking thing,

this special...

I don't know. I don't know.

Listen, I was in the house
while it was burning down, okay?

And Henry found me,
and then she, like,

held on to me,
and then the chair started...

She crushed it with her mind
or some shit.

And then we weren't even in the
fire anymore. We were in her room.

She saved you?

No. She did it to fuck with me.

She wants me to suffer.

Listen, I know you tried
to warn me about her.

You tried to tell me what she could
do, and I didn't fucking listen, but...

You believe me, right?

I think Dad did, too.

It's got to be why he went to her
house, and something happened to him.

I can feel it.
She did something.

- Clay...
- Lucas, you know him.

He wouldn't just
leave us like that.

He wouldn't walk away.

Not from me.

You got to stop her.

Promise me you'll stop her.

(SEWING MACHINE WHIRRING)

(MACHINE JAMS)

Shit.

(FOOTSTEPS THUNKING)

Hey. You okay?

Um, I, uh,

keep trying to fix this lace,
and I keep messing it up.

My mom knew how
to do this kinda stuff.

I should've listened more.

You know,
when she tried to show me.

Well... (CLEARS THROAT)

I can't sew, like, at all,

but I think I could help.

Okay, this is, like,
my secret weapon

since probably the real Y2K.
(LAUGHS)

(JENNA LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Aww.

Your mom made this.

It's so beautiful.

She was very talented.

Thank you.

So this tape should hold
for tonight,

and then we should probably take it to
somebody who really knows what they're doing.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

I know this is hard

and things with your dad
have been a little off lately,

and he could definitely
be more open sometimes,

but I'm here if you need me.

Whenever. Always.

I know.

But it's not my dad.

I mean, he's not the problem.
(SNIFFLES)

It's like, I...

I thought I knew who I was,

but I feel like
I'm losing myself or something.

I mean, I don't know what I want

at all really, and tonight...

Jenna,

you don't have to go to this dance
tonight if you don't want to.

You know that, right?

But Zach is such a great guy.

I mean, he's...
he's so sweet and nice.

And he's... (LAUGHS SOFTLY)
He's like the perfect boyfriend.

And he's really
looking forward to tonight.

But you don't wanna go with him.

He... He planned his suit
to match the color of my dress,

and he ordered a limo,

and he got me a corsage
with lilies

because he knows
that I like lilies and...

Listen, Zach is gonna
look great in his suit

whether you're standing
next to him or not.

And the limo and the lilies...
Those are just things.

And I know that
you don't necessarily

want advice from some old lady

who happens to look
really good for her age,

but the thing that I've learned
as I've tried to grow up myself

is you got to do
what's right for you.

That guy, doesn't matter.

He's not important.
You're important.

You got to listen
to your gut and...

And follow your instincts.

Trust them.
They won't lie to you.

Thank you for helping me.

Of course.

Only wish I could've
fixed it for real.

It's okay.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Excuse me.

WOMAN: Uh, just one sec.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

Deputy, how can I help you?

I need reports, and I need
John Does from the last week.

Okay. Can I get your...

Hulce. H-U-L-C-E.

Badge 1505.

Uh, nothing in the past week.

And Lewis County?

Uh, one moment.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

- (SOFTLY) Ortez?
- What's that?

- Ma'am, ma'am.
- Hey.

Hey!

Wait!

What is this? How are you here?

MAN:
What the hell are you doing?

I thought you were...

Fuck.

Fuck, I'm sorry. I thought...

I thought I knew her. Sorry.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

FISHER: Anna.

Hey. What is all this?

What are you doing in uniform?

(EXHALES)

(LINE RINGS)

ZOE: Hey, I'm on,
but I don't see you.

You ready to play?

Actually,
I suspended my profile.

What? Why? Are you okay?

It's a distraction
from the rest of my life,

and... And it's not
good for me anymore.

Our game?
That's... That's not true.

I've relieved all my amulets

and provisional reserves
to the group well.

You should take them.

You'll need them to defeat
the Divine Order.

You earned those amulets.

It's stupid to give them up.

And this is our thing.

If you're done with this,
then what does that mean?

Like, are you breaking up
with me?

I didn't say that.

But it sounds like you don't
wanna spend time with me.

I... I need to focus
on aspects of my life

that don't involve fantasy.

But we talk every day.

I'm real.

My therapist says
I have trouble identifying

what is real
and what is fiction.

I need to keep
those things separate.

Can we talk more later?

Not tonight.

Ms. Aguilar is making me
work the door at the dance

to make up for my tardiness.

Okay.

Well,

I love you, Townes.

You know that, right?

I have to go.

(SPEAKING ROMANIAN)

Um, Nikolai?

W-where is, uh, Nikolai, um...

- Oh.
- Today?

I-I came here looking for him.

Do... Do you know
where he is at all?

Um...

How... How...

how long

do you know Nikolai?

(LAUGHS)

Um... (LAUGHS)

Uh... Oh.

Okay.

Cool.

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

(PHONE BLIPS)

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

NICOLAI: What are you doing?

Oh, I'm curing a hangover.

Where have you been?

Busy, Henry.

I thought you'd enjoy
not hearing from me.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Okay.

So are we cool?

I mean, like,
with your sister or whatever?

NICOLAI: I told you
I'd handle it, and I am.

Stay close to home.
I might need to find you later.

Aren't you even, like,
a little bit impressed that I...

(LINE CLICKS)

Hello?

(SIGHS)

May I, uh...

Oh, yeah.

Nikolai.

HENRY: Holy shit.

(DANIELA SPEAKING ROMANIAN)

Did they, um...

Uh, a-are they dead?

Yes.

In a church.

(SPEAKING ROMANIAN)

Nikolai.

(SPEAKING ROMANIAN)

Good, um... Good friend.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLING SOFTLY)

(WHOOSHING AND THUMPING)

(CHANDELIER RATTLES)

(FOOTSTEPS THUNKING)

Hey.

Why aren't you at the dance?

I'm not going.

Why?

Because I broke up with Zach.

What? When?

- Like, today?
- Yes.

Jenna, you broke up with him
the day of the dance?

That's amazing.

Stop.

You should go.

No, I'd run into him.

- It would be awkward.
- So?

Zach gets to go to the dance
but you don't?

Fuck that.

I'm not going to the dance
by myself, Henry.

Fine. I'll go with you.

I will.

I'll be, like,
your date or whatever.

Henry, you hate dances.

Yeah, I hate a lot of things,
but I don't hate you, so...

Henry.

Jenna.

Are you serious?

I really wanna go to the dance.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Okay.

(LAPTOP CLATTERS ON TABLE)

I'm gonna go get ready.

Okay.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, you have to change, too.

I'm...

- Cleo.
- (SHUTTER CLICKS)

Ah.

It works.

Not to sound like our kids,
but we have phones for that.

- What? We do?
- (CAMERA BEEPS)

- (MUTTERS)
- You look good.

I look better in...

I thought
Zach was picking her up.

- Shh, not now.
- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(BOTH GASP)

Oh, my God. You look amazing.

So beautiful.

(THOMAS LAUGHS)

Aww, come here.

Oh, your mom would be so happy.

Honey, look at you.

(RELUCTANTLY ) Okay. Let's go.

THOMAS: No, no, no, no. Not yet.

You two get over there.

Come on. Let's go.

CLEO: (SIGHS)
Big smiles, come on.

You too, Cleo, beside Henry.

Okay, guys, can we...

Shut up. Shut up, shut up.

Okay, all right.

Come on, quick, quick.

You know your phone
has a camera, right?

(LAUGHTER)

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

This is gonna be fun.

It's gonna be something.

(BRITNEY SPEARS' YOU DRIVE

I know who you are, but I still
need to see your IDs.

You have a good ID photo.

(LIT'S MY OWN WORST ENEMY
PLAYING)

I don't consume sugar
after 5:00.

It's just an excuse to say hi.

Batman has a sidekick, right?

Like, Batboy or something?

You're gonna make me lose count.

And when his sidekick
is in trouble,

Batman is supposed to save him.

That's a huge oversimplification
but technically correct.

I should've been there
for you...

The way that you're
always there for me.

Um, I was just really, like,
caught up in my own shit,

and I know that that sucks,

and... I'm really sorry.

I'm not gonna change my mind,

if that's what you want.

No, that's not...
That's not what I want.

You were a really great
sidekick, Townes.

But I'm obviously just, like...

(LAUGHING) Kind of a...
a shitty superhero.

I think maybe that I could be

a better friend, if you want.

Like, we could be friends.

Probably sounds, like,
really dumb. (LAUGHS)

Nothing you said sounds dumb.

Except "Batboy."
That's ridiculous.

(BOTH LAUGH SOFTLY)

Why didn't you call me?
I had to find out from Damian.

Damian.

It was embarrassing.

I'm sorry.

I'm your best friend, Jenna.

I'm here for you whenever you need to
talk through these kinds of things.

Oh, I didn't know I needed your
permission to break up with him.

Don't be crazy.
That's not what I'm saying.

Then why are you always
pushing us together

and talking about
going on double dates?

Because I wanna
hang out with you.

I feel like
I never see you anymore.

(SIGHS)

And it's not like I'm gonna
join the science club.

But you're always with Henry
and Townes Linderman.

And let's be honest,

neither of them are super easy
to get along with.

(SCOFFS SOFTLY)

Look, you don't need
to come up with excuses

to hang out with me.

And...

I like that our friendship
is different

than what I have with them.

Really?

Really.

(BOTH LAUGH SOFTLY)

I just want you to be happy.

Hi, Townes.

Zoe?

I thought I would, you know,
'cause we had said before.

I wanted to finally
meet you IRL.

I hope this is okay.

Yes, yes, of course it is.

It's... nice to meet you.

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

I like your hair.

Even without the bangs.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Thanks.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

(DOOR CLICKS)

- This is the computer lab.

last year as an elective.

I got an A.

Cool.

(BELL TOLLS)

I'm sorry
I suspended my profile.

I understand why you did it.

You do?

Yeah, I know
you've been off track.

I guess I just
don't want you to give up on...

all the fantasy in your life.

I mean, your imagination's
one of the things

I love most about you.

Is that why
you came here tonight?

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

I messed up before when I didn't met
you at your science award ceremony.

That was a really big deal.

I just...
I was scared to see you

and for you to see me.

Is it because of your arm?

Because I think
it's very impressive.

I've never seen
anything like it before.

It makes you different

in a good way.

You think so?

Yeah.

(CHAIRS CLATTERING)

Good.

'Cause it doesn't
bother me either.

Never has, really.

It's just annoying how uncomfortable
it makes people sometimes,

the way they look at me,

like it's all that I am.

Yeah, I... I know what you mean.

This is the best dance ever.

(CLEARS THROAT) Um,

can I...

can I have this dance?

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

I don't get it. I don't.

Did I do something wrong?

No. No, it's not you.

Zach, you're making this, like,
a lot worse than it has to be.

I'm not talking to you, Henry.

Jenna, I just wanted tonight
to be perfect for us, okay?

I... I love you.

- Okay.
- Uh...

I just want to get back
with you, okay?

So just, just
tell me what to do.

And I'll do it.

Dude, stop.

- I'll do anything.
- Someone needs a water.

No, wait, Jenna...

You can talk to her later,
if she wants to talk to you.

- Zach: Patty...
- Walk with your legs, come on.

- (STAMMERS)
- Come on.

ZACH: No...

Sometimes she sucks less
than you'd think.

♪ Fall in love with me

♪ If ever I believe

Are you okay?

♪ My work is done

♪ Then I start back at one

♪ Yeah, yeah

♪ It's so incredible

♪ The way things
work themselves out

Zach's gonna be fine.

And you're gonna be fine.
It's not...

It's not about Zach.

None of this feels right.

And I... I think maybe
I always knew it didn't.

I don't know.

Jenna, you can tell me
what's going on.

You wouldn't understand.

I tell you all of my shit.

And I have some seriously
crazy, fucked-up shit.

So...

♪ 'Cause one

♪ You're like a dream come true

♪ Two, just want to be with you

♪ Three, girl, it's plain to see

♪ That you're the only one
for me

(INHALES)

I think maybe I'm...

♪ Five, make you
fall in love with me

I think I'm gay.
I like... girls.

♪ Then I start back at one

♪ Say farewell
to the dark of night

♪ I see the coming of the sun

Please say something.

You just got so much cooler.

- Henry.
- Seriously.

Like, so much cooler.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

That was both easier and harder

than I thought it was gonna be.

And... I haven't told
anyone else.

Well, thank you for telling me.

Don't say anything.

Of course not.

♪ Three, girl, it's plain to see

♪ That you're the only one
for me

♪ And four,
repeat steps one... ♪

(DOOR BUZZES)

You made bail.

Hey.

I fucked up.

Yeah.

They said you can't
wear the uniform out.

I think... I need to come home.

(WHIMPERS)

Dad.

Anna.

(SIGHS)

You know,

you intimidated the shit
out of me when I first met you.

And now...

here we are.

You said...

You'd help me.

And you did.

You kept your promise.

(GRUNTS)

But you did nothing for her.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

- (SWITCH CLICKS)
- (MACHINE POWERS DOWN)

Wesley asked me
to look after her.

But I watched you...

chip away at everything she was,

to make her more like you...

Like us.

(GROANING)

(WHIMPERING)

I can't, uh...

(SIGHS) I can't do that anymore.

I need to stop it.

I'm sorry.

LUCAS: Henry.

I hope she didn't make it
too hard for you.

Nikolai?

Henry Coles isn't coming.

What are you talking about?

The demonstration
is in a few hours.

There isn't gonna be
a demonstration

or any more tests.

It's over, Elaine. We're done.

That means no more Factor.

You'll die.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, well, maybe I
should've died a long time ago.

If I did, things might've
been different for you,

for a lot of people.

You can't give up now,

not when we're so close
to achieving Dad's goal.

Wouldn't be enough.

Not for him, not for you.

You're wrong.

I work hard for him.
He respects that.

There's still time for you to
have a life on your own terms.

Without him.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

What did you do?

What you couldn't.

(RAPID FOOTSTEPS)

ELAINE: Dad?

Dad!

No.

(SOBBING) No. No!

Wake up.

Wake up!

(SOBBING) Wake up!

(SOBBING)

Wake up!

No!

LUCAS: My brother
told me everything...

That you crushed him
in his truck...

And you took him from the fire.

And I think you probably know
what happened to my dad, too.

He's dead, isn't he?

Leave me alone.

I know what it's like
to take a life.

To live with the pain
and the guilt of it.

If you killed my dad,
he probably deserved it,

just like Clay deserved
what he got.

And yet you saved him.

I just, um...

I'm not here
to judge you, Henry.

I'm here to serve you.

What?

I've been searching,
seeking guidance,

and there is a plan
for all of us.

God has a plan.

So there has got to be
a reason for you...

Oh, Lucas.

For what you can do.

Listen, my family,
they're evil, and I know that.

They're fucking rotten
to the core.

My dad and my brother,
what they did to you?

They treated you like nothing.
They didn't see you.

But I see you, Henry.

I've never witnessed
what you can do,

but I believe it.
I know you can do it.

(LAUGHING )
That is what faith is.

I see you
for who you really are.

(SCOFFING) I can't do this.

You are an angel, Henry...

(LAUGHS)

On a mission from God.

And it is my job to protect you.

Henry?

You don't need to say anything,
not yet.

Just know that I believe in you.

You can count on me, and I'll
always be here whenever you need me.
