Into the Dark (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Delivered - full transcript

A pregnant woman's life is upended when she realizes someone close to her has darker plans for her and the baby.

Oh, Jesus, God, come on.

Come on!

Oh, God!

You doing okay?

I still can't believe it's real.

Three more weeks to go.

You're right on schedule.

So everything's fine?

Everything's perfect.

Do you want to know
yet, boy or girl?

It's not mandatory.



You're allowed to be surprised.

I still want to wait.

Okay, perfect.

How are you feeling otherwise?

How's the vomiting?

- Less?
- Less, yeah.

Good.

I know it's been
really rough for you.

But the finish line is in sight.

That's something
to look forward to.

Why didn't you tell me
you had an appointment today?

It was just like
the one last week,

- and you had work.
- I can take work off.

I want to be there, Val,
I'm trying here.



It's fine, we're fine.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.

Everything is where
it's supposed to be.

Okay, good.

Besides, this is what
I really need you for.

- Okay.
- Mm-hm.

Somebody has to pick
me up off the floor.

But that means I only
have to be there for the end.

Yeah, I'll pick you,
I'll pick you up.

I'll sign us in.

- Go ahead.
- No, go ahead.

Oh, thanks.

Are you new here?

When are you due?

Um, due.

Wow, uh...

- Namaste.
- No, I'm just, um,

I'm here for a friend.

Do I... do I look pregnant to you?

You...

Oh my God.

I am so sorry.

I... I am.

I'm due in September.

Oh, holy shit, thank God.

- Jenny.
- Tom.

Nice to meet you.

Make a new friend?

Just another mom.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to Mamaste Breathing.

Mamaste.

Now, mommies, I want you to rest

your right hand on your bumps
and close your eyes.

This is about connecting
with the life inside you.

Think about baby
inside and breathe.

Sharing air.

One body.

Two beings.

Are you feeling nauseous?

No, I'm fine.

I'm just feeling a
little dizzy from class.

It's nothing.

Well, I know how you feel.

Downward Facing Dad
really got me today.

- What can I get ya?
- A latte.

- Are you sure?
- The doctor said

that 200 milligrams
of caffeine per day is fine.

Okay, this is why I need
to be at the appointments.

Tom's wife?

Or Valerie.

I like that better.

It rolls off the tongue.

- Sit.
- Oh, what ab... is he?

Oh, he's not pregnant,

Come on, sit down.

Okay.

So, whose wife are you?

It's complicated.

I'm sorry, that was...

It's none of my business.

It's no worries.

I've made my peace.

Jenny.

Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.

Oh, boy.

Backs, am I right?

I know.

That's funny.

You remember Jenny from class?

- The funny one.
- How could I forget?

Nearly gave me a heart attack.

I took your chair,
I hope you don't mind.

Oh, no, no.

Actually, I have
a couple more hours

of work to do today,

so can I meet you
back at our place?

- I... I can just...
TOM: No, no.

You two stay,
get to know each other.

This is great,
I'll see you again at class.

- Mamaste.
- Mamaste.

- Bye.
- Bye.

So, boy or girl?

I have a farmhouse
in the country.

I've lived there my whole life.

- Really?
- Yeah.

What about you?
What's... what's your story?

Tom and I moved here
about six months ago

from Chicago.

You can take it if you need to.

It's nothing.

So, um, yeah, Chicago.

What's your job here?

Well, I was a counselor.

I had a private practice
in Chicago.

But this pregnancy
has been so tough,

I had to take
a leave of absence,

and that has turned into...

I'm just pregnant now.

There are worse things to be.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I just have to carry
around a puke bag now.

Gosh.

Um, what do you do for a living?

I am a nurse in a
pediatrician's office.

I've been there
about five years now.

I need someone like you around.

Save me from
driving myself crazy

with late night
internet searches.

You can call any time.

You want to crack it open?

The crib, should
we put it together?

Oh, no, not tonight.

I'm exhausted.

I am really craving
some mango though.

Is that true?

You want mango?

Hm? Okay.

'Cause you can have ice cream

or cheeseburgers or donuts,

but if that's what you want,

that's what you get.

Can I get some ice cream too?

You got it.

- Oh, Moose Tracks!
- Okay!

Ow.

Stop.

Ow.

Tom!

Tom, wake up!

Tom, please, please!

Tom! Tom, wake up!

- I just gotta...
- Tom.

It's 7:00 in the morning,
what are you doing?

Babe, did I wake you?

I... I wanted to get this
done before you got up,

but it's not easy.

I don't like it.

Put it back.

What?

No, this needs to be done.

I should have done it weeks ago.

I just need to, uh...

I got it.

Yeah.

I just gotta figure
out why I don't have...

What are you
looking forward to the most?

Oh my God.

Having my body back.

More than one cup
of coffee a day.

Pants without
the elastic in them.

Never vomiting again.

Oh, yeah.

For me, it's reading him
stories in bed at night.

Like Goodnight Moon
and Dr. Seuss.

And Harry Potter.

"Mr. Potter..."

Yeah, of course.

You know, I'm scared too.

I am.

I'm worried that
I'm not gonna be able

to do this all by myself.

You're gonna do great.

And you won't be alone.

- Really?
- You mean that?

Yeah!

Mommy club.

We gotta keep each other sane

when the babies
don't stop crying.

Yeah.

Mommy club.

I love that.

Um, I'm gonna step out.

I gotta get some air.

Okay, I'll come.

No, just, uh,

would you watch our things?

What are you doing here?

Come on.

You weren't answering my calls

or my texts or my emails.

Yeah, on purpose, Riley.

I told you to stay away from us.

It's over.

I flew in from
Chicago for Christ's sake.

Just... please.

Can we at least talk?

Wednesday.

Noon.
Don't be late.

- Okay.
- Val.

Thank you.

- Who's that guy?
- Oh, he was just

asking me if I was okay.

Saw that I was about to puke.

Oh, you poor thing.

Let's get you
sitting down, okay?

Mm-hm.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

I put in an extra mile,
and then I had all these, uh...

Don't worry about it.

You okay?

She puked.

Welcome to your weekend.

Mamaste.

Mamaste.

This might be
too soon or weird, um,

but would you guys
like to have dinner

at my house sometime?

If not, it's totally fine.

I completely understand.

- No hard feelings.
- We would love to.

- When?
- Wow!

Um, tomorrow.

Early, like six?

- Works for us.
- Yeah.

What should we bring?

Um, nothing at all.

I will make everything.

It will be a wonderful
homecooked meal.

- We'll be there.
- Nice, thanks.

That's great.
Okay, bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

What's her address here?

Whoa, she's really out there.

You weren't kidding.

This is out of town.

I told you.

The middle of nowhere.

Just trying to get
blood back in my legs.

Wow.

What?

It could happen any time.

Stop.

I mean it, Val.

We're gonna be parents.

Promise me you won't leave us.

No matter what happens.

Promise me you
won't leave us alone.

Of course.

Val.

Sorry, I'm just...

Pregnant brain.

I am so excited
to be a parent with you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Sollie, tables are for people,

not for kitties.

Come here, mister.

You be good.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Oh, this is nice.

Yeah.

Hello!

- Hey.
- Hey.

Welcome.

Thank you, these are for you.

Oh, wow, these are beautiful.

Thank you, Val.

This place is amazing.

Cozy, right, Tom?

Yeah, definitely.

Jenny, are these your parents?

Yep, that's them.

Hi there.

- Whoa!
- Sollie!

I'm so sorry, did he get you?

- No.
- I probably

should have warned you.

He's sort of a one-woman cat.

Would you like some lemonade?

This place is huge.

- 20 acres.
- Wow.

Oh, Jenny, you got a flat.

Yeah, I'll get
AAA out here eventually.

You know what,
I'll save you a call.

Wait, absolutely not,
you guys are my guests.

I'm not gonna put
you to work, Tom.

No, I'm a dad now.

I can't just let a tire be flat.

You guys stay here, I got this.

- It'll make him feel manly.
- I am manly!

Thank you!

How long have you
guys been married?

Almost two years.

That's not very long.

Well, we were together
a year before that.

- Hm.
- And this was not planned.

Hm.

I've always wanted one,

ever since I was a little girl.

Always.

I know this sounds silly,

but it feels like
it's the only thing

that I've ever wanted.

Obviously, I wish it were under

different circumstances, but...

To quote my mother,
beggars can't be choosers.

Are you talking about me?

Smells great.

Mm, that was really good, Jenny.

You ate for two.

I think I even ate for two.

I can't remember the last time

we had a meal like that.

Wow.

Val, you look
like you're about ready

to fall asleep.

Well, I just feel relaxed...

and full.

Hey, hey, are you all right?

Hm?

Maybe we should go home.

Oh, nonsense.

She can lie down
in the guest room.

- Val.
- Hm?

Hey, Val.

What are you doing?

I'm fine, fine.

Yeah, Val.

Val.

Hm?

Okay, come on,
I'm gonna help you up.

Come on.

How are you feeling, sleepyhead?

I'm just tired.

How long have I been...

What's happening?

You're not...

Oh, yeah, I'm not.

I'm not pregnant.

Where is Tom?

Hey, hey, hey.

Take it easy,
try not to move too much.

Tom?

Tom!

Where is he?

What did you do?

Don't look at that.

That's the past.

I just want you
to think about this.

It's the future.

It's our future.

Sleep tight, babies.

I'll be back before you know it.

Help!

Help!

Sounds like someone's awake.

Please!

Help!

Help!

Help!

It's okay.

It's okay.

Don't come near me.

No, don't touch me.

Okay, there's an
adjustment period.

There's always an
adjustment period.

I've learned that for sure.

The maternal instinct
is very strong.

But you're different,
you're not like them.

You know that I knew
you were the one

as soon as I saw you.

There was something inside of me

that just told me
that we needed each other.

- What are you doing?
- Just I can't wait

to show you the nursery.

You're gonna love it.

You want my baby?

Our baby.

You killed Tom?

Keeping the dads,
it never works.

- You killed Tom!
- I had to do

- what I had to do.
- No, what have you done?

Jenny!

No!

Okay.

No.

Why? Tom!

- No!
- All right, all right,

- all right.
- Get me out!

No, no!

You've been out for a long time.

You must be starving.

I'm sorry about the restraints,

but I thought
that you might like

a nice breakfast.

Soup?

I don't want any fuckin' soup.

Valerie, I understand
that you're upset, okay?

But you're not the only
person in there anymore.

This is for the baby.

Okay.

Slowly, it's very warm.

Good girl.

You're not gonna
get away with this.

People will notice.

Someone will
come looking for us.

No one came for the others.

Others?

Don't worry, I've learned a lot.

I'm not gonna make
the same mistakes.

This is the one.

Val, you're the one.

Why?

Look at you.

It's amazing what
a little food can do, right?

Let's take advantage
of this energy.

Let's go on a walk together.

Help!

Help!

Help me!

No one can hear you out here.

Just breathe in that fresh air.

It's so good for your body.

And for your soul.

Come on, cheer up, mama.

Help!

Well, at least you can
roam around the room now.

It's long enough
for you to make it

to the bathroom, no worries.

I put water and
snacks right here.

And you should take
your prenatals.

And me, um, I'm close by.

Always.

I'll get us out of here.

I promise.

You don't have what it takes.

Jesus!

Who's Riley?

He's a friend.

A really good friend.

We were supposed
to meet... today.

Well, you've never
mentioned him before.

You don't know
everything about me, Jenny.

He knew we were coming here.

That we had dinner.

He knows your name.

Fuck.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Checking in?

No, actually I have
a friend that goes here.

I was wondering
if she checked in

for class this week.

Who's your friend?

Valerie Coates.

No, but she
was about ready to pop.

Maybe baby came a little early.

- Hm.
- It happens

- all the time here.
- Yeah.

- Okay, thank you.
- Namaste.

Sure.

I need your fingerprint.

I'm not giving you anything.

You either
give me your fingerprint

or I will take
your fucking finger.

You're not gonna find anything.

Thank you.

I'm making salmon and
leafy greens for dinner.

I hope you're hungry.

Oh, hey, mister.

Do you want some treats?

Good boy.

I know you lied about Riley.

He doesn't know anything.

I can't tell much
from your phone,

but I don't even think
he's your friend.

I don't suppose you want
to tell me exactly who he is.

He's a very close friend.

You deleted everything!

Text messages, voicemails!

It would be much easier
for everyone

if you would just tell me.

He's gonna come looking for me.

- Where are you going?
- To take care

of your very close friend.

It feels like
it's the only thing

that I've ever wanted.

Obviously, I wish

it were under different
circumstances, but...

I'm not gonna be able
to do this all by myself.

Mommy club.

I love that.

You're not
gonna get away with this.

People will notice.

Someone will come
looking for us.

Before you try to run
and take off,

I want to show you something.

I wanted it to be a surprise.

I wanted you to see.

I wanted you to see
for yourself...

To know that I'm gonna
be a great mother.

Ah!

What did you do?

We're gonna be
just fine without you.

Val, I didn't want it
to be this way,

but you've lied to me,

and now there's somebody
looking for you,

and if he comes,
you cannot be here.

Don't you understand?

Having you around
has been a bonus.

But you're eight and a half
months pregnant now,

so you're not an oven.

You're just an extra blanket.

Okay.

I don't want you
to worry about last time.

I know what I did wrong.

This time, everything
is gonna be perfect.

I promise.

I can't wait to see you.

Just think, the first thing
that you're gonna see is me.

Your mother.

I can do it right this time.

I can do it right this time.

I'm not like them.

I'm not like them.

I am not like them!

I can do it right this time.

Hello?

Val?

Hello?

Can I help you up?

Come on.

Let me help you.

Here's some food,
when you're ready.

And this should help,
it's hot tea.

Please.

What is this?

It's raspberry leaf tea.

It's supposed to help
induce labor naturally.

Drink it all, or I swear to God,

I will cut you open
and take my chances.

Not a fucking nurse.

Jesus...

Help!

- Hello?
- Help!

Help!

- Val?
- Help!

Val!

- Riley?
- Hello?

Riley! Riley, help!

Get in here, hurry!

Hurry!

Oh!

Oh my God, Val.

- Are you hurt?
- We need to get this off.

Hang on.

Okay.

Come on!

Riley?

What?

Thank you.

Just stand back.

I'm never gonna
let you go again.

I love you and our baby.

What?

You must be Riley.

No!

No! No! No!

Come on, come on.

Come on!

Where are you going?

Come on, come on.

No!

Fuck you. Fuck you!

You little bitch.

No!

Fuck you! Fuck you!

Ah! Jenny.

Please.

You shouldn't have done that.

Jenny.

No!

I gave you so much.

A room, food, clean clothes.

Invited you into my house

and you throw it
back in my face.

Riley is the father?

Him?

I don't even know
what to say about that.

How could you do that to Tom?

What are you gonna do with that?

Well, Val,

you don't have to walk
to give birth, so...

No, wait! Wait, Jenny,

I know what
your parents did to you.

What did you just say?

What did you just say?

I'm sorry.

What they did to you was...

It was...

It was awful.

You have no fucking idea.

They ripped me open.

They tore him out of me.

And they left me here to die.

In this room!

Right here.

If I didn't kill them,
then I would've died.

Anyone would've
done what you did.

Would you?

Would I kill someone?

To survive?

Yes.

You don't have to do this.

Jenny, don't.

Please.

Please.

We can... we can wait
for this baby together.

I won't try to leave.

I... I won't... I won't
make a run for it.

You don't have to be like them.

I am nothing like them.

No, no, no, no.

I'm gonna kill you!

You're gonna have
to do it with one foot.

This is gonna hurt.

Fuck you!

You know, no matter how many
fucking baby books you read,

not matter how many
pregnant women

you fucking slaughter,

you will never be a mother!

You're a monster,

you fucking crazy bitch!

You know if it's a boy,
I was thinking Samuel.

I've always loved that name.

And, um, Mia if it's a girl.

It's sophisticated.

She's beautiful.

Can I see her?

Oh.

If you're a boy,

this is your name

no matter what happens.

And if you're a girl...

I didn't even think about you.

You were just something
that happened to me.

I was so scared.

I didn't think about
all the things you could be.

How you'd smile,

what you'd wear...

What it would be like
to even look at you.

I don't even know if
you're a boy or a girl.

One thing I do know...

I swear.

She will not have you.

Val?

Valerie, what are
you doing in there?

Valerie...

Valerie?

Valerie?

I need you to come out now.

What did you do?

Oh! What did you do?

You killed my baby!

My baby.

Mine.

Oh!

Wasn't gonna grow up
broken like you.

Sollie?

Oh my God, Sollie!

Oh, no!

This is gonna hurt.

Fucking die!

No! No, no, no, not now.

911, what's your emergency?

Help! Help!

Help me, please help me!

How are we feeling today?

Good.

Both of us.

Oh, here, let me change that.

Got you, got you.

Oh.

You're good at that.

I told you I would be
a great mother.

Better than you.

My beautiful baby girl.

My beautiful Ava.
