Into the Dark (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - All That We Destroy - full transcript

You okay?

It's all right?

Where am I?

You're in my room.

I'm cold.

Who are you?

There's nothing.

Nothing?

It's done.

I'll get to it.

Did it feel any different?

Fine.

I'll write it down for you.

And no.

Didn't feel anything like her.

How's it going?

I'm doing everything I can to help him

and he gives me nothing.

So are you going to do it again?

He needs help.

That's what I'm doing.

Clinical help.

They'll take him from me.

Would that be so terrible?

I'm worried, Vic.

‐ I can protect him.
‐ What about you?

I mean, how far are you
willing to go for him?

He'll never give you the whole truth

in that journal of his.

You need to see him in the act

to understand.

I can't.

You know I can't observe the experiment

without altering the results.

Bullshit excuse.

Even with observation bias,

the firsthand accounting
yields more accurate data

than hearsay.

How?

Record him.

And create a chain of evidence?

Start a live feed.

It's the only way to really know.

Are you her?

Are you someone else?

- I'm me?
- Are you sure?

I don't know.

Do you even remember me?

‐ No.
‐ Remember me!

Get the fuck out of my car.

Get the fuck out of here.

You can't fucking leave me!

‐ Fuck off!
‐ I don't know

where the fuck I am!

Tommy!

Fuck you!

You piece of shit.

What the fuck?

Fuck!

Left me out here
in the middle of nowhere

without a fucking phone.

I swear to God if I ever see you again,

I'm gonna fucking kill you.

Fucking dick!

Piece of shit.

I swear to God.

Hey.

Shit.

Sorry.

Didn't meant to startle you.

You know you're goin' the wrong way?

How do you know which way I'm going?

Well, you're on foot, so...
if you keep goin' that way,

you're gonna be walking
in the dark all night.

Yeah, but how'd you get here?

I live about half mile that way.

Is there anything else that direction?

I mean, there's a town,

but that's, like, a six‐hour walk.

You got a car?

No.

Well, I guess we're
going to your place then.

Is that a problem?

That's all right.

Okay.

It's fucking freezing.

You gonna give me your jacket or?

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Here.

You got a name?

Spencer.

I'm Ashley.

This isn't working.

It just doesn't feel‐‐

Why?

- Why isn't it working?
‐ Because it's bullshit.

It's fake.

I am trying, Spencer, I really am,

but if you don't help
me, I can't help you.

This is only our fourth attempt,

and I don't want to keep
you locked up in here,

but if you go out again and...

I don't want to lose you.

Just give me a little more time.

Okay.

God damn you.

I didn't need to see that.

Yes, you did.

You want to help satisfy his needs.

Keep him from killing anybody real.

Then you need to witness him in the act.

You just wanted to make me feel guilty.

Complicit.

- Aren't you?
- I need your advice.

He's your responsibility too.

What did you learn?

What did you see?

He's right.

It's not real enough.

Will it ever be enough

to keep him from killing someone else?

What are you going to do

to make the next one more real?

I'm going to spend more time with her,

give her attention, compassion.

How much time can you give the analogue

without interfering with your work?

This is my work.

I mean Harris Genetics.

You know, your company?

My company is about to roll out

the world's first
custom‐grown cloned organs.

We're going to own the
transplant business.

But they have noticed your absence, yes?

If I were a man, they'd call me

an eccentric or a genius.

Instead of an overprotective mother?

Can we have a word?

Is she done?

It... she's in the guest bedroom.

And I'd like to keep
her there for a while,

away from you.

I think it would be really helpful.

It's a big house.

It shouldn't be too hard
to stay away from her.

But I want her to have the freedom

to move around.

So stay put here in your room.

You can draw, watch movies.

You can go for walks.

Anything to give me a little time

to help Ashley be...

more real for you.

Okay.

I can't believe that.

Excuse me.

Are you just gonna stand there?

Uh... right, yeah, sorry.

Hey.

Did the Cornells move out?

My folks?

No.

They're just in Europe for the summer.

Technically I'm watching
the place for them

and not moving back home.

But that's exactly what it feels like.

I just left school.

I was in law school.

You know, I thought that I
really wanted to help people,

but I think actually I just
want to do something creative.

You know?

Yeah.

I'm such a jerk.

Here you are helping me,

and I haven't even
asked you your name yet.

I'm Marissa.

Spencer.

Cool, do you live around here?

Uh, yeah, I live
about half mile that way.

Oh, good.

I'm glad somebody lives out here.

I was getting a little freaked out

that I'd be here by myself.

- You need to get that?
‐ No.

It's just my mom.

She calls every day to check in.

It's kind of annoying.

Hey, I'm not keeping
you from anything, am I?

Uh, no, I'm... no.

Would you maybe be able to help me

get the rest of this stuff in the house?

Yeah, that's... that's fine.

Okay, cool.

Um, if you could just grab that stuff.

Hi.

You must be Spencer's mom.

Um, yes.

Why?

Um, is he here? I made
these cookies for him.

I'm sorry, I don't
mean to be rude, but...

Oh, he helped me get moved in today.

I'm Marissa Cornell.

My folks own the place down the road.

Oh, hey Spence!

Well, listen, I don't want to take up

a bunch of your time or anything.

I just made these to
show my appreciation

for all the help.

Your son's awfully nice.

That's very nice of you to say.

Okay, well,

I've got some boxes to unpack,

so I'll leave you be.

See you later, Spence.

It was nice to meet you.

What the fuck are you thinking?

It was just a few boxes, Mom.

It's no big deal.

She made him cookies.

So much for keeping
him away from the world.

What's she like?

Bubbly.

And you think he's fixating on her?

He's drawing her.

How's the new analogue?

I was struggling with
how to make it feel more real

when it occurred to me

she already has a backstory.

I can show her select
pieces of her previous life.

A curated history.

And it's working.

She seems human.

Spencer!

Hey, what a nice surprise.

Just came to return your plate.

Oh, cool.

Come on in.

Come on.

Did you like the cookies?

Yeah, they were... they were good.

What you got there?

Uh, it's just a little
something for you.

I drew it.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

This is amazing.

Oh.

Uh, you just said you wanted
to do something creative.

So...

Yeah.

Yeah, I totally see it.

This is so cool.

Thank you.

I had no idea that you were so talented.

You should design a tattoo for me.

I've always wanted one.

I think I want to do
it, like, right here.

So I can hide it if I want to.

Maybe I'll do that butterfly.

You know, 'cause I'm always changing.

A butterfly only changes once.

Oh yeah.

You're right.

I like you.

You're weird.

Where have you been?

You know where.

Marissa's.

I thought I made myself clear.

You are not to see her.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to act normal?

This is... this is
me acting normal, okay?

I'm makin' friends.

You don't want me around,
you don't want me to go out.

It's not that I don't want you around.

Spencer, I'm doing all of
this work on her for you!

Do you want to meet her?

Fine.

Tomorrow.

Let me get her ready for you.

Shit, this place is great.

You, uh, live here alone?

No, I live here with my mom.

Is she home?

No, she's at work.

Yeah?

What does she do?

She's a geneticist.

Hey, you can't go in there.

That's her lab.

Okay.

Hey, you know that guy you were with?

Yeah.

Fuck him.

He's fucking dead to me.

Uh, can I get a bathroom?

Need to piss.

It's right over there.

Can I?

Yeah, sure.

So...

We're alone.

Aren't you gonna join me?

Yeah, I... I...

I can do that.

So is there, like...

anybody you need to call
or anything like that?

No.

I just need to get to town.

You know, any town, really.

But I can give you a ride

when my mom gets back home.

When can we expect Mom?

Probably not for another hour or so.

So how should we kill a few hours?

Do you have any music?

Just ask.

Um, play The Babys?

You remember me mentioning my son, yes?

He's the one who found me.

I think it's time the two of you met.

Spencer is very shy.

The best way to get him to open up

is to talk to him
about things he enjoys.

What does he like?

He likes art and music.

He's fond of wine and nature.

Tell him you like the same things.

Ask him about his art.

Okay.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Let's go meet him, shall we?

Ashley, I'd like to introduce you

to my son Spencer.

Hi.

Would you like some wine?

Yeah, I'd love some. Thank you.

Well, I will leave the two of you

to get better acquainted.

Your mom told me that
you like art and music

and stuff like that?

Yeah.

I like music too.

You're not writing.

What is it?

Every morning I get up
and everything seems fake.

It's like everything I see
and everything I touch just...

doesn't feel real.

Like there's a membrane between me

and the rest of the world.

And sometimes that membrane closes in

and I feel like I can't breathe.

Like I'm being smothered by this...

horrible invisible nothingness.

But today I felt like I could breathe.

And I haven't felt this good,

this free, since...

well, the first time.

Well, I...

I didn't want to write that down.

I wanted to tell you.

You know how thankful I am.

He actually hugged you?

Real physical contact?

It's been years since he's done that.

It's working.

This breakthrough could lead to

an entirely new kind of
behavior modification therapy.

The applications could be...

The years it took your company

to gain approval simply to
clone organs for transplant.

‐ I know.
‐ Fundamentalists still want

to burn you at the stake for that.

I'm well aware that
nobody is ready to debate

the legalities and
ethics of human cloning,

but the effects!

So what now?

Now, we let some time pass,

see how long the positive effects last,

then do it again, better.

The more satisfying the event,

the more time can pass between them,

and then...

maybe he can move out.

Go to college.

Have a life.

Return home whenever he needs his fix.

Heya, Spence.

Marissa.

You're jogging.

Yeah, I hate it.

Then why do you do it?

'Cause there's nothing else

to do out here so I figured

I might as well get in shape.

How do you stand it?

Stand what?

The quiet.

I like it.

Lets me think.

I think too much.

I'm always in my head and...

overanalyzing and...

That's what my therapist used to say.

You see a therapist?

Yeah, doesn't everybody?

What do you... what do you talk about?

Like, what do you...
what do you see her for?

I had an eating disorder.

Poor body image, stuff like that.

I used to think that I was, like,

like, really messed up and weird,

but then I went to school

and everybody there has,
like, a crazy drug problem,

so I was like, "I'm
actually... I'm okay."

And I just stopped going.

Yeah, me too.

You had an eating disorder too?

No, I... I stopped going to therapy.

Oh.

What's your damage?

Spence, I'm sorry, you don't...

Um...

No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

No, no, no, no, it's my fault.

I shouldn't have pried.

I actually... um, I wanted
to ask you something.

I was looking for things to
do because, you know, bored,

and, uh, the gallery in town
has a new exhibit coming, and...

I thought that since you're
such an amazing artist,

that maybe you would wanna go.

You know,

with me.

Think about it.

Let me know how you feel.

We're going to be patient again, right?

Right.

Right.

I want her to be real for you,

to feel like the real thing

so you can go longer

before feeling these urges.

I know.

‐ Do you?
‐ I know, Mom.

I get it, I understand
what we're doing here.

Thank you.

Good morning.

How are you feeling today?

It's okay if you're feeling disoriented.

You've been through a lot.

Where am I?

You had an accident,

but I patched you up,

and you should be as good as new.

My name is Victoria.

I'm a geneticist, but I'm also an MD.

What's my name?

Ashley.

Ashley.

Are you hungry?

I made you some soup.

When can I go home?

Do you remember where your home is?

Don't worry,

your memories will come back,

and just as soon as they do,

you can go home, okay?

Okay.

Well, that's probably
enough for now, hmm?

Why don't you get some more rest,

and we can talk more later.

Okay.

Victoria.

Yes?

Thank you.

You're very welcome, Ashley.

Here.

You got me a dog?

Thanks, Mom, I love you.

Oh, I love you too, sweetie.

Who is that?

That's my son, Spencer.

He was seven years old there.

He's grown up now.

Here, he's playing
with our first dog, Max.

You have a dog?

Where is he?

He's right here.

Max died.

What happened?

He had an accident.

He was hurt very badly,

but he really wanted to live,

and he fought hard for a
week before he passed away.

We buried him here.

Lucky died too?

Mm‐hmm.

Everything dies.

One day I'll die.

You'll die.

And then what, what happens?

Nothing.

One day, your heart will stop beating,

your brain will no longer
get the oxygen that it needs

to continue functioning, and...

everything that made
you you will be gone.

All your memories, experiences,

will die with you.

Why?

It's simply the way things are.

Max knew that.

He fought so hard to stay alive.

Every breath

is precious.

Every death a tragedy.

Who's here with you?

I thought you were better.

Why couldn't you talk to me about this?

Why did you lie to me?

I didn't...

I didn't want you to hate me.

Where did she come from?

She was just stranded
on the side of the road.

Oh...

Damn it, Spencer.

I'm sorry.

We have to make this go away.

How?

I don't know.

What do you mean,
what are we supposed to do?

Just... just... let me think.

Nobody knows that she's here?

No, no.

Okay.

Okay.

I can go to the lab,

get a reduction tank full of pyridoxine,

break her down to raw materials.

There won't be anything
recognizable left.

I thought you'd like this.

Oh, here.

Oh.

That's so sweet, thank you.

I should be thanking you actually.

I've never seen real
art in person before.

Are you joking?

No.

That's just so hard for me to believe.

You're such an amazing artist.

You could seriously have
your own gallery show.

I don't know, I've seen virtual tours

of the Louvre and Guggenheim,

but that's about it.

Really, you never took a class trip

to a museum or anything?

I was only in school
till sixth grade, so...

Why?

Mom home‐schooled me after that

and moved us out here,

kept me on a leash.

Everyone said it was for the best.

Why would they say that?

I did something wrong at recess.

Uh...

We were all playing King of the Mountain

on the jungle gym,
you remember that game?

Yeah.

I didn't really play with
the other kids that much.

It's not that they...

they didn't want me to
or anything like that.

It's just I didn't feel like it.

You know, I'd always
read or draw in my books.

But I don't know, it seemed like
a game that I could get into.

You know, it's simple.

It didn't require any team effort

or dependency on other people.

You just... climb to the
top and you're king, and...

I wanted to be king.

So I climbed to the top
of the jungle gym, and...

That's when Tracey Heinz
got up behind me, and...

I knew it was wrong,
but for some reason,

that didn't matter.

It was like time stopped.

I was given this moment to...

make a decision all on my own, and...

I was the only one in control.

So I shoved her, hard.

She fell.

She died a couple days later,
and they just didn't let me

go back to school, so.

God, you were just a kid.

And you've been away from
people your own age ever since?

My mom said it was for the best, so.

Come here, I want to show you something.

Surprise!

The gallery owner is
a friend of my folks,

and he freaked out when I
showed it to him, Spence.

He said that if you have more like this,

then you can have your own show.

Spencer!

I didn't give it away to him,

and it's not for sale.

I would never give this piece away.

I didn't ask you to do this.

I‐I don't understand why you'd do this

without asking me.

To surprise you.

Spencer, you're an artist.

You belong here.

I just wanted you to see that.

I'm proud of you.

Spencer, you still up?

Spencer?

I've decided something.

You are going out more,

with me.

I'm gonna force you.

Because you've been cooped up
in that house for way too long,

and you need to have more experiences.

And, you know,

I need things to do.

Well, I'm glad I can
assuage your boredom.

No, stop it, no, it's not just that.

I think that you're really cool.

No one's ever called me that before.

Good night.

Where have you been?

We were at an art gallery, Mom.

How many times do I have to tell you...

I can't have friends now?

No, you can't.

Can you?

Spencer,

I am the only one

who has ever been there for you,

who will always be there for you.

No one will take care
of you the way that I do.

Do you really want to
throw all that away...

for her?

It just feels different with her.

Ashley?

Ashley?

What are you doing out here?

I couldn't sleep.

I had bad dreams.

Really?

What about?

I couldn't breathe.

Like you were drowning?

No, I, um,

I wasn't underwater, I
just... I couldn't breathe,

and then there were hands, and...

Was someone with you?

I don't remember,

but I was in a different bedroom, and...

I couldn't breathe, and
then everything hurt,

and... and then it just went black.

It's just a dream.

Why is your son hiding from us?

Spencer?

He's just very shy.

He was the one who found you

after the accident.

He was the one who took care of you.

I... I don't remember any of that.

Something must have happened to you.

You were... confused and cold.

You don't remember any of that?

No.

Hmm.

When am I gonna get better?

Everything I'm doing here

is to help you recover your past.

You just have to be patient.

For how long?

You can't call it a memory.

It was a dream.

A dream about not being able to breathe.

She said she was in his room

right where he has choked her to death

over and over again,
and she couldn't breathe.

- Come on, Vic.
- If you were there,

if you had seen her
eyes, she was so afraid.

I know she is remembering
a previous incarnation.

You're growing too
attached to the analogue.

It's not an analogue, it's Ashley.

I'm telling you.

She's remembering who she was.

‐ How?
‐ I don't know!

Maybe there's something purifying

in the reduction process.

Maybe memory is encoded in her DNA.

Maybe God is punishing us

for taking a life and
creating this abomination.

I don't know, I don't
know how this can be.

There's no control group,

there's no precedent for this.

All I know is...

she is more than just a copy.

She's more real to you?

Yes.

And you're okay with giving her...

with giving Ashley to him?

I would do anything for my son.

You're implying that I wouldn't?

Well, you're not here, are you?

I can't be there.

You know that.

It's all right,

he's never really needed
his father anyway.

Ashley, I made you some lunch if...

Are you all right?

Fine.

I'm fine.

I just...

had another dream.

Don't worry, dreams can't hurt you.

You can rest all you like.

I'll come check on you later.

Okay?

Great, thank you.

Is she around?

She's in her room.

Can we talk for a second?

Music off.

Okay.

I don't think I wanna do this anymore.

What exactly?

Just this, her,

just the whole... the whole thing.

What are you trying to tell me?

I just want to be normal,
I want to be like everybody else

and I wanna have a normal life.

I wanna go make friends
and hang out with them.

Spencer.

You can't.

Why not?

How many doctors have you seen?

The detachment,

the animal cruelty,

the playground.

This didn't just start,
and it won't just end.

Okay, but why not? Like, I...

Isn't this what you want for me?

Can't you at least trust
me enough to go try?

What, do you want to...
run away with this girl?

I like her.

You'll kill her.

When am I gonna meet Spencer?

Soon. Very soon.

He's the one who saved me, right?

Why is he afraid to see me?

Oh, he's not afraid.

Spencer is just...

Shy?

Yeah, you said that.

I saw him with another girl.

He doesn't, um,

he doesn't seem that shy.

Is that so?

Who is she?

The other girl.

Nobody.

Just a neighbor.

I assure you,

all Spencer does is talk about you.

You'll understand when
you remember who you are.

He's the one who helped you.

Then we should meet.

I‐I wanna thank him.

What was that?

I don't know.

What was it?

This meeting has been on
the books for over a month.

If you don't come in today,
the board is seriously...

My name is on the building.

Surely that gives me
a little leeway here.

The board is assembled
and waiting for you.

- It doesn't look good.
‐ My cloned organs

are going to revolutionize
the transplant market

and make Harris Genetics
wealthy beyond imagining.

Come tell them that.

They want to see you face‐to‐face,

and maybe you could give us a
hint of what you're working on

in that home lab of yours,
the next big thing we...

No, not yet.

Come in, now.

Talk to the board.

Reassure them that
the face of our company

will be there for the
new product launches.

I'm on my way.

Fuck!

Mom, have you seen my sketchbook?

Don't leave the house, I need to go out.

- Where?
- It doesn't matter.

I'm locking Ashley in
her room until I get back.

Why?

Because I can't trust
you alone with her.

I need you to stay put for a few hours

while I deal with something.

Jesus Christ, Spencer,

what the hell are you
doing with this girl?

I've been covering
for you the best I can,

but the board didn't just back
this project, they backed you.

I know, I'm sorry I've been gone.

The breakthroughs that I've made,

neural linguistics, object recognition,

they're game‐changers.

Great, now go tell, them.

May I have just a moment?

- They're waiting for you.
- Just one quick...

Hey.

What did you tell her?

I didn't tell her anything.

I told you she was trouble,

you just wouldn't listen to me.

I know.

I'm coming right home.

We can't keep them waiting any longer.

I'm sorry.

I really have to go.

You're making a huge mistake!

What the hell are you doing here?

You didn't answer my text.

Spencer, I know that there's
somebody here with you.

You don't know anything.

Ashley.

That's her name, isn't it?

She's wanted.

Do you know that people
are looking for her?

She's dangerous.

Spencer, what's going on?

Is that her?

That's her, isn't it?

Spencer, I saw her.

I took her picture.

Stop!

I was gonna change.

For you.

It didn't have to end this way.

Spencer!

Stop it! Stop it!

Call 9‐1‐1!

Dialing 9‐1‐1.

911, what's your emergency?

No!

Ma'am, can you hear me?

- Spencer, stop, please!
- Hello? Ma'am?

Please, you don't have to do this.

You don't have to do this!

‐ I have to.
‐ No, no, no, no.

No, you don't.

Whatever it is, I can help you.

Please.

I'm your friend.

Please.

Spencer?

No.

She was gonna call the cops.

I told you to stay away from her!

She came over on her
own, all right? She...

I tried to keep her out, but she just...

But what?

She knew.

- How much?
- She ran a search.

She knew everything about Ashley.

She had a picture on her phone,

with you.

Shit.

We have to get rid of the bodies.

Now! Go get Ashley!

I don't care what
trouble you're in, honey,

just please come home.

Everyone's looking for you.

Where are you, Ashley?

Whatever's going on, just call me, okay?

She's not there.

She's not in her room.

Well, where is she?

Well, we have to find her.

The police are gonna be here
any minute. We have to...

It's okay, I'll take the heat.

All right, we'll just say it was all me

and you had nothing
to do with any of this.

I love you for thinking of me, but no.

We do this together.

Okay, take this body to the tank.

I will go to the lab and
turn on the bio composter,

and then we will find Ashley.

She doesn't know where she is.

She can't have gotten far.

Easy.

What am I?

You're...

a shadow.

A memory of someone.

No, I'm me.

No, you aren't.

You looked over the
files, then you know.

- I made you.
‐ You aren't my mother.

I gave you life, a better life

than you ever would have
had the first time around.

Stop!

How much did you see?

Did you read the part
about being a criminal?

If my son hadn't taken you in,

you would be rotting
in a cage instead...

Instead of what?

How many times has he killed me?

You do remember.

I remember hands

and choking and his face,

his sick fucking smile.

You are monsters, both of you.

Wait.

You're a miracle, do you know that?

You are the rarest thing

on this earth.

Completely one‐of‐a‐kind.

You have no idea how special you are.

Mom!

Ashley!

Ashley!

Ashley!

Ashley, stop.

You had to know it
had to end this way, right?

You did everything you
could to protect him.

He was broken from the beginning.

I just wish you could've
seen it as clearly as I did.

You need to put it to rest.

Let him go, Victoria.

Like you did?

I'm done with this.

I'm taking my severance,
selling the house.

You'll never hear from me again.

Don't do this, don't...

You got me a dog?

Thanks, Mom, I love you.

Oh, I love you too, sweetie.
