Into the Dark (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Culture Shock - full transcript

Our lead story today
takes us again

to that hot zone zone of
illegal, terrorist activity,

Our border crisis
continues to worsen,

with more illegals than ever
coming into our country.

She keeps asking questions
about them.

Maybe we could try
behavior modification.

Do you think
we should keep 'em in?

It doesn't stay in
the system for a week.

- Is that what we want?
- Coming into

our country,
claiming American jobs,

and committing an increasing
number of violent crimes.



The migrant caravan
of over 5,000 Central Americans.

Many of these children
are traveling alone.

And cultural
rehabilitation center.

The ringleader of last night's
murderous terrorist assault...

It could be because
of her hormonal circuit,

measure to fit in.

Congress members
are grappling today

with the most urgent
of questions:

When will action
finally be taken.

Super nice.

Hey.

Bueno.

Psst.

America. America.



America. America.

Okay.

¡Ay, mija!

Marisol.

Lupita...

Paola...

Amen.

Hey.

Ooh...

Ooh!

Ricky.

Amen.

Let's go, come on!

Hey, Marisol.

Marisol.

Shh.

Shh.

Shh.

Shh, shh!

Woo!

Woo!

Woo!

Ricky!

- This is the United States.
- Border Patrol.

Breathe, sweetie.

You're safe now.

Keep breathing just like that.

You're doing great.

There you go.

I can see it.

Keep going.

Just one more push!

It's a beautiful baby girl!

My sweet girl.

Where am I?

Where is she?

Good morning!

The little angel is sleeping.

Come, come eat.

I made you some soup.

It's not a race, honey.

Not anymore.

You're in America now,

the land of plenty.

I'm sorry, it's just that

I feel like I'm
still eating for two.

This is delicious.

You made this?

Someone once said

you can judge a woman

by the taste of
her homemade soup.

Take it slow.

No need to rush.

When you're done,

if you're feeling up to it,

I'll take you out for a walk.

It's a beautiful day out today.

A perfect day

to see your new home.

Hello friend.

- Hi.
- Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning.

Wow, so many paisanos.

Yes, lots of Latinos here.

And people from
all over the world.

Everyone's getting ready

for our big celebration
this weekend.

- Looks great, everybody.
- Thomas?

Thomas!

Hello.

Marisol, this is Thomas,
our town's mayor.

Marisol is new here.

Welcome, Marisol.

We're so happy to have you.

Thank you.

You have such a beautiful town.

Thank you,

but it's not just mine.

Cape Joy is everyone's.

It's yours too now, okay?

And you let us know

if there's anything
that any of us can do

to make you feel at home.

Congratulations, by the way.

Thank you.

Marisol, have you
ever seen fireworks?

Yeah, I mean, not often.

Okay, well,
at our Fourth of July party,

they will absolutely
fill the sky.

It's beautiful.

It'll be a wonderful
experience for you.

- When will that be?
- Hey Thomas!

Come take a look at this.

I'm so sorry, duty calls.

We take the big day
very seriously here.

It was nice to meet you,
Marisol.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hope to see you soon.

Betty. And if you feel like it,

come by and help
with the preparations.

There's nothing like chipping in

to help feel at home
in the community.

Looks great, guys.

He seems nice.

He has been such a blessing

for our little town.

This place is so...

Special?

Yeah!

We're very lucky.

I think I could call it home.

Well now,

that's the spirit, darling.

Oscar?

Marisol, are you all right?

Oscar!

Marisol, wait!

I...

I'm sorry, excuse me.

Hi!

Hi there!

All right, guys,
let's take these babies for a spin.

At the twilight's last gleaming?

Where is she?

Feeling any better today?

Yes, thank you.

Um, excuse me, ma'am,

how did I get here?

Why is it that I just
can't remember anything?

Please call me Betty.

Betty.

I'm so sorry.

This must be very hard for you.

You crossed the border
with your Coyote two days ago.

Feeling any better today?

Yes, thank you.

Where are my things?

I brought stuff with me, and.

We can get you all new stuff.

Don't worry about
what you've lost;

Think instead of...

all that you've gained.

- Let me have her.
- No, no, no.

She just ate.

You just rest.

I'm fine.

Great, fantastic.

I wish I could go out
and help with the decorations.

I'm just too old now.

I can hardly hold
a hammer steady.

I know.

Why don't you go out and help?

Everyone is there.

I don't know anybody.

Nonsense, you know Thomas,

and you can make
all new friends.

Besides, Thomas can help you
get a job right away too.

You don't want everybody else

snatching up all
your opportunities, do you?

Gotta provide for
the little one, right?

- Hello there!
- It's gonna be great!

Hey, Ricky!

Hi.

Come, come, children.

Hello.

Hi.

Hi.

Marisol!

Hey, good to see you again.

- Hi.
- Hi.

So, what do you think

of our beautiful little
American town so far?

Um, it's, um...

It's confusing.

Here, come have a seat.

You weren't prepared for
such a big change, right?

You'd be surprised
how many people

experience that sort of thing

when they move to a new country.

It's perfectly normal.

We call it culture shock.

- Culture shock.
- And everybody here

has felt the way that you have.

Even me.

Really? Yeah.

Yeah, I traveled to India
in grad school.

I haven't sweat that much
since, well, ever.

And the food.

It was delicious,

but I don't think
there was a single day

where my body wasn't in crisis.

What were you hoping for
when you came here?

When you crossed?

Um...

It's...

I understand.

You know, people dream
of a place like this

because change is good.

We dream of having the freedom

of waking up on
any given morning

and starting over.

The freedom to
choose to be happy

instead of feeling like the
world makes that impossible.

It's not my place
to tell you how to feel,

but our little town
works for people.

And you have a new
life to look out for,

not just your own.

If you can, try to
choose to be happy.

What have you got to lose?

Right.

Okay.

Yeah? Yeah.

Okay, great.

And why don't you help me
organize for the big event?

Me? Yeah, yeah,

you could do decorations.

Get to know some of us,

I think you'd be a natural.

I think I can do that, yeah.

Okay, perfect.

And then I'll see
you tomorrow, okay?

Okay. Marisol?

Come by the mess hall tonight.

We're doing pizza.
Looking forward to it.

Okay, I'll see you there.

Hi.

Sorry.

Marisol, hey!

I'm glad you made it.

Grab a seat, I want to
talk to you in a second.

- Excuse me.
- Okay.

Hey!

Cabrón.

Hey.

Sorry.

Hi.

Hurry up, you're gonna be late.

What what's happened?
She was crying and crying

and you wouldn't wake up.

I'm sorry.

Give her to me
No, I've got this.

You don't want to be
late for your first day.

Hurry up.

Ricky.

Hey, Ricky.

How are you?

Hello, Miss, it's a
pleasure to meet you.

It's Marisol from Mexico.

My name's Ricky, it's
a pleasure to meet you.

We crossed the border together.

Remember that?

It's a pleasure to.

Okay...

Okay, children,
class is beginning.

In we go.

Hey, Santo.

Well, hello there, friend.

Are you okay?

I saw you last night at dinner.

Dinner was delicious.

Best pizza in town,
wouldn't you say?

And the barbecue tomorrow
is gonna be sodelicious.

No, no, listen to me, Santo.

Marisol, you made it.

Yeah, hi, I I was
just talking to San.

Santo Cristobal at your service.

The banner looks
fabulous, amigo.

Marisol, walk with me.

Gotta work on some bulletins.

Very important
bulletins, come on.

Go over here, help
everybody out, okay?

Hey, guys, we have a new helper.

Okay, so we just need
to spread these balloons

all over, well, the gazebo.

Well, hello there, friend.
Santo Cristobal, remember me?

We crossed the border
together with Ricky.

Do you remember
El Zorro? Chayan?

Do you...

Amen.

Okay.

He sold us out.

He did?

I remember being
connected to something.

It was hooked to my head.

Why the fuck am I
talking English?

Please, Santo, Santo, calm down.

Don't fucking touch me, bitch.

Okay, okay.

Santo, look at me.

My tattoos!

Where are my tattoos?

Fuck.

Stop it!

No, no, no.

- Okay.
- Rise and shine.

The park looks
absolutely gorgeous today.

Marisol, nice to see you again.

Oye, Santo. Marisol.

Amen.

Marisol. Yes.

Hey, hey, hey, don't
freak out on me, man.

How did we get here?

I don't know.

We were in a desert, right?

And then I woke up here

in this fucking place.

Yeah, this fucking place.

What about you?
What do you remember?

I I remember running...

and a truck.

Fucking narcos

were chasing us.

But then nothing.

Doesn't make any sense.

That's 'cause nothing
in this place makes sense.

Look at it, nobody ever
leaves, there's no cars.

And then there's
no sense of time.

I feel like I'm being watched.

Don't trust anybody, Santo.

We gotta get out of here.

This looks stunning, everybody.

This could be our best one yet.

No, you know what, this is
definitely our best one yet.

And you, terrific work.

I mean, really,
above and beyond.

Why thank you, Thomas.

I'm really happy you like it.

I really like to help, you know.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you.

Beautiful day, right?

Shit, he's getting away.

Marisol, did you follow?

- Shh!
- Thomas?

Yes, sir?

How's everyone faring?

How's the little guy?

Any better?

Worse.

He hasn't made it a day,

I don't think it's
realistic to think

that he'll make it
through a full week.

Kids, they always
insist on dying.

Their immune systems
can't handle the tranquilizers

the ways an adult can.

If we could take 'em out
and get a control test

to safe dosage.

We don't have time
for a control test, Tom.

It's not gonna work
in the big picture

of every single guest
needs a bespoke experience.

We need to know they'll be safe

at least for the entire duration

of the week sequence on
a standard entry dose without fail.

Now, that's
how the numbers add up.

You understand that, right?

- Yes.
- Good.

Now speaking of stability,

how's our VIP doing here?

Better.

Still not settling with degree

of predictability
that we'd like.

We have the midwife
on vigilant surveillance, yes?

Yes, sir, I recoded the
firewall bot myself yesterday.

God.

She...

They... are the
most precious guests

we've got in here.

I know, sir, but I'm not sure

how the meds are
affecting the baby.

Could be a stillbirth
or birth defects.

How likely is that?

This will literally
be the first time

that a birth happens under
these conditions, ever.

I can't project,
but it's likely.

Trauma and drugs usually
aren't a great thing

for a pregnant woman.

All right, when's she due?

Any day now.

It's amazing what the
human body can accomplish

given no other choice.

Shh, you're having a bad dream.

Give her to me. You poor thing.

No, fucking give her to me now.

Give her to me, give her to me.

Your attitude is not healthy

for the baby to be around.

Wait, where are you going?

Betty?

Betty?

Marisol!

Get me out of here.

Get me out of here,
get me out of here.

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

She bounced from the system.

How is that even possible?

She must have found the gate.

Come on,
can't you make this thing better

so they don't
find their way out.

I flagged her as a flight risk,

so if she goes
through the gate again

she'll end up
in this escape loop.

And you've never
noticed this type of behavior

from her before? No, sir.

First time.

All right, well, put her back

in that loop of
yours for an hour.

She'll tire herself out.

Then merge her and the
baby back in the system.

Okay.

You know what
I did before I did this, Tom?

I served on a board of a
private corrections company.

Private prisons,
in layman's terms.

A lot of people don't know
that private prisons work.

People willing to work
at these facilities

make a profit and the
taxpayers make a savings.

We solved an urgent
nationwide problem

in a safe, humane,
and discreet way.

You know what that
taught me, Tom?

It taught me you gotta
focus on the big picture,

the bottom line.

I know this is all
difficult to bear,

it's upsetting, but
you must not let it

distract you from
the big picture.

There has got
to be a better version

of the big picture than this.

Nobody gives a fuck
about these people, Tom.

Look, this way they're not
crowding up the prisons,

they're not being
separated from their kids,

they're not being
physically mistreated.

Tax money is saved to be
used longterm for good.

Now that is a small cost to
pay for all this, isn't it?

Yes. Good.

'Cause if the Pentagon finds out

about security
breaches like this,

they're gonna buy
somebody else's solution.

Sir, we didn't win this contract

because we could build
a virtual holding cell.

We won it because we
promised these people

a humane, happy transition.

I'm not paying you to give
them the American Dream, Tom.

We're paid to keep
them out of it.

What.

It's okay, Marisol.

It's me, Thomas.

I know you must be
very confused right now.

Do you remember where
you woke up earlier,

before you woke up here?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you were there,

and there was
there was this other man.

His name is George Atwood.

He's the man who
built this place.

What is this place?

Why are you keeping me here?

What is this place?

I wanted to be
a part of something

that would change the world.

Offer people like
you some respite,

a taste of what
you came here for

but might never find.

Marisol, I'm sorry,
I don't have time

to explain this
to you right now.

No, no, I have a
child inside of me.

Please, please, please.

Look, listen to me,

because you found the gateway,

I had to mark you as
a potential deserter.

That means if you go
through the gateway again,

you'll get tossed
back into the lab,

it's a closed repetitious loop.

Do you hear that?

The dogs.

When the dogs bark like that,

it means the system is down

for maintenance.

You did that.

Something about you,
about your condition

is fighting the
assimilation protocol.

You are a strong one, Marisol,

and I need you to stay like that

for all three of our sakes.

And I need you to
get me out of here.

Yes, not just you, everybody.

But I need time to do it right.

Do you trust me, Marisol?

No, no, I don't trust you.

Why the fuck should I?

Because you don't have a choice.

I get why you don't,
I understand that.

I thought that I could
make things better,

but I trusted the wrong people.

I need you to blend in, Marisol.

Your life might depend on it.

What? What do you mean blend in?

What do you mean blend
in? What do you mean?

Answer me!

Did you have another bad dream.

- Agh!
- Poor girl.

I think you should
get some rest.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Fuck you!

Okay, everybody,

I just want to thank you all

for your hard work.

Tonight's gonna be fabulous.

Now, who's hungry?

All right, let's eat.

Oye, Santo.

Yeah?

I need you to listen
to me very careful.

Thanks.

Ready for dessert?

Ice cream or apple pie, Miss?

No thanks.

Cape Joy makes the
best homemade apple pie.

Would you like
ice cream with that?

No, I want nothing.

I'm sorry, ma'am,
we're out of that.

Would you like
MARISOL: Out of what?

I'm sorry, ma'am,
we're out of that.

What do you mean?

You don't get it.

Ma'am, if you don't
want any dessert..

Is there a problem
with your dessert?

Yes, there's a fucking problem.

I don't want apple pie,
I don't want fucking ice cream.

I want arroz con leche,
do you have that?

What about pan dulce,
do you have that?

Que tal un pinche flan,
do you have that?

Of course you don't.

Pinche robot.

Ladies
and gentlemen, my friends,

the moment you have
been waiting for

has finally arrived.

As your governor, I am
honored to officially declare

this year's Fourth of
July celebrations have,

wait for it, begun!

Join me outside for a very
special fireworks display.

Thank you. How are you?

Good, good, good,
good, good, good.

That was quite a stunt
you played the other night.

No one ever found the
end of Main Street before.

It's a pleasure to
meet you, Governor.

I'm Marisol.

George, George Atwood.

It's a pleasure, Marisol.

How's your baby?

Look at this.

- Oof.
- What's the matter?

Okay, get up.

What are you doing?

Marisol, get up.

What the fuck is going on?

Santo, hurry up.

Shit, Marisol.

What the fuck is going on?

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Get the fuck off!

No, no.

No, no.

Santo, Santo, Santo.

Okay, okay.

Gracias, gracias,
gracias, gracias.

How the fuck
did this happen, Tom?

She disappeared right in front
of my fuckin' eyes.

I think she went into labor.

I'm seeing a massive
spike in her adrenaline

that must have caused
the system to short.

God dammit.

1045, all security units,

we have a critical breach
on the physical facility.

Do not let anyone out alive.

I repeat, nobody gets out alive.

Yes, fucking fire.

Choke 'em out, bash
their fucking skulls in.

I don't care, nobody gets out.

I'll have us extracted at the
emergency exit in two minutes.

Now shut this thing down.

Counting on you
to do the right thing.

I'm thinking about the
bigger picture, George.

You're fucking dead.

Marisol?

Marisol.

Please return to
your designated...

your own seat.

Please return to
your designated room.

There has been
a security breach.

This is for your own safety.

Please return to your
designated room.

There has been
a security breach.

This is for your own safely.

Marisol.

No.

Santo?

We're continuing
our coverage today

of the recent and
tragic situation

lmmigration and Cultural
Rehabilitation Center.

- Greg, over to you.
- Thank you, Christine.

We're here about 30
miles south of our border

at what the illegal
immigrant community

crossing into America
calls a stash house.

It's believed
that the ringleader

of last night's terrorist
murderous assault stayed here.

It's open, it's open.
Come in, come in.

Hi, come in here come in here,
get this, get this, get this.

Can you confirm Marisol Ramirez.

Sí, sí, sí.

Innocent Americans just
trying to help the migrants

while solving our border crisis.

We're sending our
thoughts and prayers.

- Back to you, Christine.
- This just in.

The President's
25th tweet of today

once again reiterates his
firm wish for the wall.

Quote, "Need funding
for the Wall NOW."

'Dear illegals, remember as
you sew, so shall you reep.

Moving on, the pyrotechnics
of last night's July 4th

literally blew us away,
pun intended.

Across the country,
our beloved celebration

was bigger and
brighter than ever.

Jeremy will be here with
the best videos of the night

sent in by viewers
right after the break.
