Naomi (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Homecoming - full transcript

Last time, on
"Naomi"...

There was a UFO sighting
back in Port Oswego in 2004.

I'm going to figure out
what really happened that day.

I am not leaving you alone with
the criminals doing creepy things

inside a creepy mill.

Zumbado is dangerous.

He's the who ruined earth 29.

Is that where I'm from?

The universe is vast.

There are more planets
than humans can even count it.

Bounty hunters, they carry
the record of their targets.



There is another name on the list
that will be of interest to you, Qyeala.

So we're doing this?
The real version?

The real version.

Hi, Dee.

Nice sesh, Pumpkin.

Dad, what did we say about
using skateboard slang?

Strongly discouraged. Right.

Oh! I enjoy these sessions
a lot more

when there were pads
and helmet involved.

I stopped wearing those
when I was 12.

And I've been holding
my breath ever since.

Hot dog or churro, ladies?

Churro.

Three churros, please.



It's been a minute since we've
had a skateboard Sunday.

You remember our first one?

Tokyo.

How can I forget? Mom
took about a hundred pictures.

Actually,
make that 200.

Hey! Taking too many photos
is my duty as a mother.

A lot has changed since then.

Yeah, but not everything.

Stay away from Zumbado.
He's dangerous.

*NAOMI*
Season 01 Episode 06

Episode Title: "Homecoming"
Aired on: March 01, 2022.

Thank you
for coming, everyone.

And thank you for all your hard
work over these past couple of months.

The big week is finally here.

The first order of Homecoming
committee business

is our fundraising check-in.

Annabelle, let's see the board.

- Whoo!
- Yes!

As you can see, the soccer team
is in first place.

I'm sure
it's a total coincidence

that your boyfriend's club
is winning.

We've been hardcore
fundraising for weeks.

Plus, we're gonna raise even more
money at our game on Saturday.

We're winning that trophy.

Oh! Uh, no, no way. Architecture
club has got that lock down.

Right. Because you guys are
building a float about logging?

Okay. The important thing is that
we're raising money for our school.

- And also the trophy.
- Whoo! Yeah.

My dad has agreed to take a pie in the
face, so student council has this on lock.

He won the trophy all four
years he went to school here.

Okay. Uh, moving on
to number two,

the marching band's petition
for an all-Lizzo setlist.

Her flute is verified
on Instagram.

The motion passes.

How are even on this committee?
You're not in-charge of a club.

I'm a member-at-large.

Eddie revolutionized
the guitar solo.

He created a new sound.

I hear you, Miss Bennett.
It's just that...

Van Halen is more your
generation, we're all about Doja Cat.

Is that a person or an animal?

Fair point.

Is Miss Bennett
starting a band?

This used to be her locker,
so she was not too happy

to find out that I scraped off
her Van Halen sticker.

It must be nice to spend
your whole life in one place.

Feel like you really
belong somewhere.

I thought you loved
Port Oswego.

No, I do.

I just wish I knew more about
where I was from.

I feel like I just keep
hitting dead ends.

What about not-counselor-Jeff
and those neon crystals?

I mean, you said that the case
had those weird markings.

Jeff's gone.

And I asked Dee about Dilustel,
but he doesn't know.

There's the only one person
who can give me answers,

and he won't give them to me.

Right. Our favorite used car
salesman slash cryptic scary guy.

What is Zumbado hiding?

Sometimes it feels like
he's just watching me.

Hang on.

That's the key.

Zumbado showed up in the woods
after this Superman thing and then, he also

showed up in Falls Creek.

Oh, no!

Please tell me this is not
another creepy mill thing.

I give it zero
out of five stars.

It's another creepy mill thing.

Very good.

The goal here is fluidity.

This will be our last session
for a few days.

Why?

Keep it flowing.

It's a personal matter
about Qyeala.

I found new information.

You think she might be alive?

I don't know what to think.

But... you can utilize
the space while I'm gone.

You need to keep practicing.

Why do I have to learn
how to fight?

Can't I just use my powers?

It is easy for powers
to become a crutch.

I've seen it happen before.

- Superman seems to be doing okay.
- True.

But one day, he may face
someone who has powers and skill.

So you're saying,
if I learn how to use these...

I might be better
than Superman.

Maybe. One day.

On Thanagar,
women are warriors.

Girls on this planet talk
about being protected by man.

But you do not need
a boy around.

It's not always bad
to have a boy around.

Naomi, what are you
talking about?

Uh, Hi.

Nathan, hi.

Oh! Nice ninja sticks.

Oh! When I told you to meet
me here, I kind of meant outside.

I wanna see
where the magic happens.

Boxing lessons.

Boxing?

Magic.

Right.

I hope you make your mental
and emotional health a priority.

I, uh, have a meditation app.

I don't use it that much.

But soccer helps
keep my head straight.

Oh! We, we should go.

Uh, thank you, Dee.
I'll see you when you get back.

I never would've thought that Dee
would care so much about mental health.

How did boxing happen anyway?

Um, it's, it's kind of
a long story.

So you're gonna show me
your moves?

Ooh! You're not ready
for my moves.

- I guess not.
- Yeah, guess not.

This town loves its Homecoming.

I know.

You ever wished you hadn't move
around so much growing up?

Yeah, sometimes.

But not very kid gets to say
they've eaten barbecue in Seoul

or played soccer in Berlin.

I guess moving around
does have its perks.

Oh! Like meeting me?

No!

- All the great food.
- All right.

Hello, old friend.

I thought we'd already said
our tearful goodbye.

Where are the markings?
They were right here.

Maybe the wall's just dirty.

This place could use
a deep clean.

No, there's no paint.
It's not sanded.

It just disappeared.

Annabelle, I think I can see
through here.

Yes, I knew it. I knew
you would've X-ray vision.

OMG, can you see inside of me?

How's my heart?
Am I getting enough iron?

Whoa!

For a secret room,
I am a little underwhelmed.

Babe?

Is it just me or does that
look a lot like...

A spaceship.

I can't believe I touched
a spaceship.

I can't believe I touched
your spaceship.

That must be why Zumbado was
trying to keep me away from the mill.

But if you got here
in a spaceship,

then how did you end up
on the rock?

That's what I need to find out.

And you're going
to do that, how?

By...

analyzing these.

I'm pretty sure we've been put on
that geology lab's "Ban for life" list.

I found someone who I think
might be able to help.

Her name is Dr. Bell.
She is a physicist

who specializes
in string theory.

What are you gonna say to her?

Hi, I'm Naomi. Can you help me
analyze my spaceship?

Dr. Bell has written a bunch
of papers on asteroids.

I'll say I found these
in the woods.

I don't know, babe.
Seems risky.

I need answers.

And Dr. Bell is my best chance
at finding them.

The research facility
she works at,

it has a college
internship program.

You're not in college.

I'm going to be tomorrow.

What the hell?

Nathan?

What's your problem, man?

What?

You did this.

Right. You really think I care
about your paper-mache?

They're wearing army uniforms.

There are lot of military kids
who go to this school.

Yeah, but only one
who has it out for me.

I seriously doubt that.

You were making fun of it.

Because this is lame.
It doesn't mean I trashed it.

Homecoming has been going on
in Port Oswego for a hundred years.

It means something to us.

It's typical military
not caring about our town.

The military brings a bunch of
money to this town. You're welcome.

What is going on in here?

He started it.

Detention. Both of you.

Adam.

Thanks for coming.

What is this place?

This is where people like us
come when they get stranded.

Stranded.

In this universe.

When they can't find
their way home.

You gonna tell me why you
had me track down a mercenary?

It's about Qyeala.

It's been a while
since I've heard that name.

- I though she was...
- I thought so, too.

Until I saw her name
on the bounty hunter list.

You're the only lovestruck
Thanagarian I've ever known.

Vulnerability is not
exactly encouraged.

We are warriors.

That is why Q and I
decided to get out.

You never told me that.

We were on a planet
in a different universe,

fighting yet another war.

The things we saw...

We've seen it before,
of course,

hundreds of times.

But this time it's different.

It showed us that we did
not want that life anymore.

So you decided
to come to Earth?

Yeah. I heard
about Port Oswego...

I do not remember where or how?

We could not go together.
It was too risky.

So we made a plan to meet.

But she never made it.

Just because she's on that list
doesn't mean she's alive.

I know it is a long shot, but
it is better than not knowing.

Lux might have an answer.
Where is he?

Let us find out what he knows.

How did you get back here?
This area is off limits.

Speak. I can hear you.

I'm Naomi McDuffie. I'm here
about the college internship.

Really?
What are you, 16?

I made that appointment
because I needed to see you.

I found something that I think
you might be interested in.

I don't think that
it's from this Earth.

Step through to the lab.

What do you have to show me?

I found this
after a meteor strike.

I was hoping you may be
able to tell me about its origin.

It's just for a school project.

A school project. Right.

Well, Miss McDuffie,
you are correct.

It is clearly
not from this Earth.

It's likely technology
involved with a spaceship.

I assume yours.

What? No.
Why would you think that?

Because you're not
from this Earth.

There has to be
some kind of mistake.

I don't make mistakes.

I am sorry. I should go.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I understand your reluctance...
and you're welcome to leave.

But you're not the first
interdimensional being that I've met.

How did you know?

My work deals with
understanding energies of all kinds.

That automatically scans anyone
who steps into this room.

I thought you studied
string theory.

It led to my
breakthrough discovery.

That there is life
on other worlds.

And some of that life exists
here on Earth.

You're a Superman fan.

You know him?

No, not personally, but we
have some... mutual friends.

Your scan was very revealing.

Your energy signature
is vacillating rapidly.

I suspect your powers
have been difficult to control?

If I may...

you'll hear a hum.

This should help temporarily.

Try something
that's been a struggle.

Stop.

It's a concept
called resonance.

It can help focus your energy.

Why do you want to help me?

All of us are energy.

Human, alien. We're all pieces
of the same puzzle.

Understanding more of
what binds us together

will unlock the secrets
of the universe.

Do you think
you can find Earth-29?

That's where I'm from.

I can certainly try.

Can you stop that, please?

You know staring at the clock isn't
going to get us out of here any faster.

I'm supposed to be at practice.

But instead, I'm here...
with you.

Yeah, I'm not too happy
about it either.

It's not that
you'll believe me, but

I wasn't the one
who messed up your float.

Sure.

Whatever you say.

Is this about Naomi?

Do you really think
I'm that petty?

No.

Although I don't think
you're good enough for her.

And you are?

Do you remember
my first day here?

No, not really.

You were assigned
to show me around,

but you ditched me
by third period.

Said something about me
just being another army brat.

Okay. You were never really
that nice to me either.

You gave me the wrong address
to your party.

You don't even know me.

I know guys like you.

You come through here, but you
don't really care about Port Oswego.

You're just passing through.

You don't care that our history
is being erased.

Because what would I know about
someone trying to erase my history?

You don t know me either.

You're right.

But I'm telling you,
I didn't mess with your float.

Okay.

But if you didn't,
then who did?

Maybe we should find out.

Mr. Lux. I need a word, please.

And I need another beer.

They say the real drinking

is the friends
you make along the way.

What is this, a shake down?

I want information

about a woman named Qyeala.

Doesn't ring a bell.

He says otherwise.

I don't care what he says.
I'm here to drink.

Where did you get that ring?

I don't remember.

Look at it. Look at it!

This ring is the only match
to the one around your neck.

Tell me where you got it.

Okay, fine.

Just catching up
with an old friend.

We're all good here.

I got it from a woman named
Qyeala. But you already knew that.

She's dead.

Before you break my nose again,
I'm not the one who killed her.

A few years ago, I was
on a planet far from here.

A conflict broke out.

Ugly thing no one saw coming.

I don't know why,
but she was there too.

Both of us
got pinned down and...

I took this ring
to remind myself

that it could've been
me instead.

We're done here.
Get out of my way.

Next time, we're having Italian.
The chicken tasted like rubber.

Have you eaten a lot of rubber?

What the hell
are you doing here?

It's time for us to talk.

You broke into our home.
We could have you arrested.

You could.

I wonder what I would tell
the police about your daughter.

You've been following us.

Things are changing.

Getting more dangerous.

I know that the military has
been investigating people like me.

- Why are you here?
- To warn you.

Someone is coming for Naomi.

He knows where she is now.

What are you talking about?

Naomi's presence in Port Oswego
is untenable.

Staying here
puts her in danger.

It puts you in danger.

It puts me in danger.

- We can protect her.
- Can you?

It's time to leave.

It's not safe here
for any of us.

Then maybe you should leave.

That won't change anything.

They won't stop
until they find her.

We don't answer to you.

I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you.

Deal with this situation.
Or I will.

The location of your
home planet is inconclusive.

There's got to be something
you can tell me.

Have you heard of the many
worlds theory of quantum mechanics?

Yeah, the idea that there are
multiple universes,

all existing at the same time
in the same space.

It's not just a theory.

Others refer to this
as "the multiverse."

But that would mean I am not
from a different planet.

I'm from a different universe?

Yes. That's why I can't
pinpoint where you're from.

It's a problem of both
complexity and scale.

So I'm right back
where I started.

There has to be something else
you can tell me.

Like some kind of fringe theory
or out-of-the-box experiment.

These matters are sensitive.

Dr. Bell, up until
a few weeks ago,

I was a normal girl
living a normal life.

And the Superman came
and everything, it just...

It changed.

I found out I have powers. And
that I'm from a different world.

That I'm from a world
I've never seen.

Wherever I'm from, wherever
my real home is, I have to find it.

Please.

I have been working
on a prototype.

A fission device that acts
as an elevated energy source.

It might be able to pinpoint
where you're from.

- But it was stolen.
- Stolen?

By who?

By someone very dangerous
and very powerful.

Someone like you.

So, where does she keep
the keys to the security room?

Desk. Top left drawer.

Oh.

Mrs. Varady, hi.

Did you need
something, Anthony?

Yes. I uh...

I was just making sure
that you'd be at Homecoming.

I've been attending since I
was a student. No reason to stop now.

It, uh, would not be
the same without you.

I'd really like
to get into my office please.

Of course.

Nathan. What are you doing?

Uh, looks like
you're busted, Nathan.

I was just telling Nathan
how much you love Homecoming,

and, uh, he wanted to give you
some front row seats to the game.

I was just leaving you a note.

Thank you.
That was very thoughtful.

I should really
get back to work.

Of course.

See you at the game.

Where'd you
learn to do all of this?

Seoul.

I didn't know anyone
at my school,

so I spent most of my time
teaching myself this stuff.

Was it hard...

always moving around?

Sometimes. Yeah.

Found it.

What... Is that...

Esme?

Maybe Lux is lying.

He's not.

If Q is still out there,

she would have found
her way to me.

The list must have been
some kind of a decoy.

At least now you can
finally leave.

Leave?

Without Q, there's nothing
keeping you in Port Oswego, right?

We've got trouble.

If I apologize,
can we avoid all this?

Hey.

You know the rules.

Human skills only.

Time to go.

You promised you'd do this.

I promised to do this if it
meant you winning that trophy.

- I still can.
- You're too far behind.

I'm sorry, honey, I can't take
a pie in the face for nothing.

There's always next year.

What do you two want?

We just came to see if we
could buy one of those pies.

Got any peanut butter?

Sure.

Yeah, I have peanut butter.

Why did you do that?

I need to talk.

Now you want to talk?

You're frustrated.

Why are you doing this?

Why won't you just
tell me the truth?

Because you're not
ready, Naomi.

Ready for what?

I know exactly who you are.

I know what you did
to our planet.

Do you?

Ever since I moved here, my
parents have warned me about you.

Now I understand why.

It's because
you're not a good person.

Stay away from STAR Labs.

That's what I came to tell you.

You were following me?

I know you stole that device.

You know nothing.

But ignorance is one thing.

Immaturity is another.

You've proven to me
time and time again

that you aren't ready
for any of this.

That you're not willing
to think for yourself.

To ask yourself
the hard questions.

You're wrong about me.

STAR Labs is dangerous.

Dr. Bell is dangerous.

The device is dangerous.

That's why I took it.

It'll ruin our planet.

I don't believe you.

That's irrelevant.

If you're not going
to give me the device,

I'm going to take it from you.

Finally, some nerve.

You're such a disappointment.

Hey, hang on a sec, Pumpkin.

What's going on.

We got you something.

We started this
a long time ago.

And we think it's time
for you to have it.

I remember this place.

It had the best candy.

I think we went to that store
every single day we lived there.

My first Superman comic.

I still have it.

You know, I know with
our lifestyle, all the moving around,

it can be hard to ever feel
settled. Like you belong.

We wanted you to have a
reminder of the good times, too.

I love you so much.
Thank you, guys.

We love you too, Pumpkin.

Ms. McDuffie.

Thank you for coming.

You said you had answers?

I certainly do.

I tried to get your device
back, but Zumbado stopped me.

It's all right.

I was able to find
another source of energy.

One much more powerful,
much more unique.

I believe I'm on the cusp
of unlocking a secret...

the ability to see
and move across dimensions.

You might be able to tell me
where I come from?

I'm afraid
it's not that simple.

The purpose of my work is
greater than any individual pursuit.

It requires sacrifice.

Where did you get that?

I thought that was the energy
source that I needed.

But I found one
that is much more powerful.

Please, I ju...
I just want to go.

I had heard rumors about
powers like yours existing.

But it's greater than
I could have imagined.

I am sorry for this next part.

Please stop.
