Outcast (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - What Lurks Within - full transcript

No. The RC car
on the top row,
on the left.
Huh?
Your other left!
Oh.
Nice choice.
She's a beauty.
There we go.
Oh. No, I'm sorry.
You don't have
enough points.
But you can have anything
from here to there.
Come on,
don't be a dick.
Look, I'm sorry,
but I have to go
with what's on the receipt.
Rules are rules.
Just... forget it.
We'll just get some of
those plastic handcuffs.
Oh, there you go.
You can play by the rules
and still have fun.
Here.
Here's a few tokens
on the house.
Let's go!
(jazz music playing)
(silverware clinking)
(door closes)
I brought a treat for you.
Huh?
Yeah.
Oh, it's all right.
It's all right, yeah.
There.
Open wide.
(theme music playing)
Well, good mornin'!
I'm placing you
under arrest for assault.
Come on down here
and keep them hands
where I can see.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Any shit you do say
can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have a right
to an attorney.
If you can't afford an attorney,
one will be appointed for you.
Do you understand these rights
that I have just read to you?
(car door opens, closes)
¶ ¶
You wanna sulk, fine.
Try and act normal
around Holly.
She's not an idiot.
No, she's not.
You don't think
she saw you sleeping
on the couch last night?
Just like she never notices
when you won't talk
to me for days,
'cause I gave you
too much attitude.
I didn't realize
this was a contest, Megan.
It's not.
All right,
you know what?
You win.
Right or wrong,
you always win.
(sighs)
(sighs)
Why are we letting him
do this to us?
Donnie's not the problem.
He is a piece-of-shit rapist
who got what he deserved.
Look, Megan,
we gotta talk about this.
Nothin'?
(drawer opens, closes)
(machine beeps)
(car approaching)
Well, good mornin',
little lady.
Are those for me?
They're for my grandma.
Well, they're very pretty.
(door opens)
Hey, Firefly,
breakfast is ready.
Amber, uh, just use
a lot of ketchup.
Uh-oh.
Is your wife here?
Uh, she was.
Well, that's
a positive development.
We'll see.
How was the turnout
at service this mornin'?
They'll be back.
Is he there?
Jesus, come on, Rev.
Didn't you do enough damage
the other night?
I want him to see me
on my feet.
For him to know
that I've beat the count.
Round two.
You really think
he's the devil?
You saw
what he did to me.
Yeah, I did.
You made sure
everybody saw that.
What? You-- you think
I did this to myself?
If he is,
then why is he goin'
and showin' himself like that?
I don't know!
Let's go ask him!
He's gone, Rev.
Giles came by
first thing this mornin'.
Took him off
in his squad car.
No!
No! Goddamn it,
he's giving him
exactly what he wants!
What are
you gonna do?
Rev.
Rev!
(engine revs)
AARON: (laughs)
What's that?
My buddy, Jake.
He was at the memorial...
ANDERSON: (yelling)
...and he filmed
the whole thing
on his phone.
It's priceless.
Hey, that's mine.
You get it back
once I delete this.
Hey, good luck.
It's already out there.
John has protected us
in ways you'll never understand.
You know,
the whole town knows.
You're gossip.
The town slut.
Did you paint
that horrible symbol
on the statue?
I did it.
It was me!
Hail Satan!
I love you so much.
You are so smart.
What are you doing?
And you can be so kind.
What do you want?
All I've ever wanted
is for you to be happy.
Can't you just want that
for me, too?
ANDERSON:
I told you not
to do anythin'.
GILES:
The man assaulted you.
And that's all he is,
by the way, a man.
You keep him here,
just gonna make
the situation worse.
How?
Crazy Anderson attacks
a poor, defenseless man.
It's Martyrdom 101.
You're just handing him
the ammunition to build
a following.
Look, now,
we've done it your way
for quite some time now,
and I don't see the situation
getting much better.
In fact, your little show
proves to me
that I need to get up
on out of the backseat.
Now, that's your bigger
plan of action, right?
I mean, hell,
you can't arrest all of 'em.
If it helps
to keep the town safe,
I can sure as hell try.
It's his word against mine!
Oh, I can find some people
who will swear they witnessed
him assaulting you
if it comes to that.
And they made you chief.
Look, Johnny.
I want to know
who this son of a bitch is.
It's like he just--
Came down from the sky.
Well, now, you can give him
any name you want.
To me, he's a perp
until I hear different.
That's just how
I'm gonna treat him.
You know, this used to happen
once or twice a year,
but lately,
it's happening too often.
And to people I know.
(sighs)
Is there anyone
in particular?
¶ ¶
Her hair's more gray
than last time.
Yeah, well...
we haven't been here
in a while, and...
that's what happens.
Amber, why don't you come
have a seat? Uh...
Gotta explain
something to you.
So...
uh...
You remember that day
with your mom?
Well, the same thing happened
with me and my mom
a long time ago.
Something got inside
of her, and...
and it scared me,
like I know it scared you.
But that wasn't her.
And, baby,
it wasn't your fault.
I want you
to understand that, okay?
It wasn't your fault.
Is Momma going to be like that?
Maybe that would be okay.
No, baby.
She's not ever gonna
hurt us again, okay?
She loves both of us
more than anything.
Why don't you go put
them pretty flowers
in a vase for your grandma?
Then we can give her
a funny hairdo.
What do
I do with these?
Hm?
Excuse me.
Hm?
Has somebody been in
to visit my mother,
Sarah Barnes?
Um...
someone came by
for her a few days ago.
Who?
I don't remember
his name. Um...
he... showed up
with a box of candy.
I told him there was no use
giving them to your mother,
so he left them
for the staff to eat.
White hair?
Maybe.
Uh, he wore a hat.
(knocking)
(knocks harder)
Jesus! Don't bang it down!
Sorry.
Oh, my God.
Hi, sweetie.
Hi, Aunt Megan!
You know what?
Holly is in the kitchen.
Why don't you two girls go
and play in the backyard?
Thank you.
What have you done?
I didn't-- Why is that
the first thing you ask?
Well, because--
Allison brought her over.
They stayed the night.
Are you guys...
I mean--
No, no, no.
She didn't want
anything to do with you.
Yeah, well, that
may still be true.
I woke up
and Allison was gone.
Should I tell Mark? Um--
No, no, no.
But will you watch Amber
for this afternoon?
Yeah.
I gotta take care
of somethin'.
What?
I'll be back
in a few hours
to pick her up.
Does this have something
to do with Anderson?
Not exactly.
That man is mentally unstable.
Seriously, don't let him
drag you down with him.
I got it, okay?
Don't worry.
Thank you.
Sure.
Oh, great.
(music plays on radio)
You need some help?
Oh, I'm just gonna
call Lenny,
have him come
change it for me.
Who knows
how long that'll take?
You know him.
Where you wanna go?
I'll be fine.
Thank you.
I understand.
Don't wanna be seen
hoppin' in the car
with the...
town lunatic.
(chuckles)
Well, it had crossed my mind.
You'd be helping
salvage my reputation
if you were to let me
do you a good turn.
I don't know, Reverend.
Come on.
All right.
GILES:
Kyle Barnes.
As I live and breathe.
I need to talk to Sidney.
About what?
Reverend sent me.
Is that right?
And what is it that
the Reverend asked
you to do?
He needs to know
if he's one of 'em,
like your friend's wife.
Really.
I thought he had
already decided
that this one was
the devil himself.
I just need to talk to him,
ask him questions.
He's not talking, Kyle.
I think he'll talk to me.
(door opens)
(door closes)
(door opens)
(door closes)
How do you know
my mother?
I don't know
your mother, Kyle.
I never met the lady
before I came to town.
Why are you
bringing her flowers?
I heard a lot about her.
They say she put up
one hell of a fight.
You ain't seen a fight yet.
How often do you go
see your mother, Kyle?
Once a month?
Christmas? Birthday?
You drag your little girl
along if you remember to?
She's been
in that bed for years,
ever since you put her there.
(grunts)
Who are you?
I'll take you right out
of this man, I swear.
I've done it before.
And you've hurt
a lot of people
in the process.
(grunts)
(yelps)
Aah!
(sizzling)
Difference is, I don't give
a shit about you.
(grunts)
You take this out of me...
you will leave behind
a monster.

(child sobbing)
(grunts)
¶ ¶
SIDNEY:
You don't get to choose.
The saints are just as
susceptible as the sinners.
So, someone's just
walking down the street one day,
and all of a sudden,
there you are,
lookin' through their eyes?
You land where you land...
and I wound up
with a real winner.
(coughing)
If it's random,
like you say...
then why does it happen
to people around me?
You're like a...
like a match...
flickering through the trees
of a dark forest.
It gives us something
to grope toward.
I'm causing this?
We'd have found
our way eventually.
You just make it easier.
(coughing)
(groans)
(gasps)
(jazz music playing)
BOY:
Help!
Somebody!
Please help me!
(door rattles)
Help me!
Please!
Is that...
Is that what happened
to my mother?
'Til you ripped
half of her away.
I know you tried
to help her,
but it was too late.
If you'd just let her be,
they'd have found
a way to coexist.
She'd be in your life
right now.
As what?
Half my mother and half...
Isn't that better than
what you have now, Kyle?
A dribbling,
lifeless vegetable?
You know,
if I hadn't fought back,
my mother might have
killed me that day.
And if I hadn't stopped
Allison, she--
Like I said,
those first few days
can be rough.
This'll just take a minute.
Take me to the firehouse.
I will.
Told you, I just gotta
make a quick stop first.
Church business.
Why don't you come in with me?
I'll wait here.
Come on, I think you'll get
a kick out of it.
Who lives here?
Kyle Barnes.
(grunts)
Get in!
Get in!
How many more of you?
Hundreds?
Thousands?
What is his plan?
Why does he need
these souls, your soul?
Why now?
I have a theory!
The Apostle Paul...
said in later times,
some abandon their faith...
and follow deceiving spirits.
Do you know what
I mean by later times?
Of course you do!
End times!
The Apocalypse!
That's why he's here,
isn't it?
Preparing the Great Tribulation.
You're focusin'
on the negative,
Debbie Downer.
Famines...
plagues, false messiahs.
But the end of days means
that the real deal is returning.
Right?
You been screechin' about it
on Sunday mornin' for years.
"Jesus is coming!
Everybody look busy!"
So, why are you so scared?
You should be tickled pink.
Unless you don't believe
it's true.
Whew.
I heard you arrested
that old white-haired guy?
The one Anderson
went ape-shit on
at Remembrance Day?
Let me guess, you're his
legal representation.
Well, I can get him out,
if that's what you're askin'.
I'm intrigued.
I was at the church,
and I saw the Reverend carve
that pentagram on himself.
And that guy you busted,
he wasn't even there.
Why would the Reverend do
that to himself?
Why do you think?
'Cause he's a little man,
with a crappy little church.
Now he's got
everybody talkin' about him.
Why are you doing this?
Well, I'm tellin' the truth.
Look, son.
I know this whole situation
can't be easy on you,
but your mother has a right
to a life of her own.
If I have to testify,
I will.
Who are they gonna believe?
Anderson's lost his mind.
Everyone knows it.
He's over at Kyle Barnes' place
with some woman right now.
He's probably rapin' her
or somethin'.
What woman?
Jesus Christ.
ANDERSON:
Kyle.
Been waitin' for you.
KYLE:
What did you do?
You both are gonna
pay for this.
Take it easy.
No one's gonna hurt you.
That's right.
Once we're done here,
all your suffering
will be over.
LENNY:
Where is he?
I went by the church.
He's not there.
I've been drivin'
all over town!
Lenny, Lenny, slow down.
I found Kat's car
with a tire slashed.
Lenny, get in the car.
Get in the car!
Get in the damn car, Lenny!
Judy at the hardware store
said Anderson picked her up.
Lenny--
That son of a bitch
kidnapped my wife!
Lenny--
Lenny, now
she's gonna be all right.
You know about this?
All I know is that
he's just trying to help.
We don't want any help!
We're fine just as we are!
Lenny, stop. Lenny!
Okay.
(exhales)
All right.
Now, when did it all start?
Summer before last.
Up at the cabin.
(sighs)
At first, I--
I thought she was sick.
But I-- I couldn't get
her in the car,
and I didn't know
what to do.
After a while,
she seemed to be okay.
More than okay.
Oh.
What does that camper
in the woods have to do
with anything?
When it happens,
the-- the change,
they can hurt
themselves or others.
They... they need a place
to ride it out.
"They"?
Well, how many
of them are there?
Half a dozen.
Jesus Christ.
Last one was
that gal Lisa Peyton.
She... (chuckles)
...damn near destroyed
the thing.
(rattling, clattering)
Lenny...
Why don't you let
the Reverend help?
Maybe he can bring
her back.
I don't want her back!
God.
I don't mean it that way.
I mean, Kat is still
in there somewhere.
And now everything's...
different, exciting.
She...
tastes things...
like they're...
like they're brand-new.
Can you imagine that?
Your-- your first beer?
Your first fight,
Your first fuck...
all over again?
Lenny.
Please?
That woman that I woke up
next to this morning...
she's the one I want to spend
the rest of my life with.
ANDERSON:
What are you waitin' for?
This is what
we have to do.
Why?
She's not a monster.
Her family sees
the same person
they always saw.
And what becomes of
the real Kat Ogden, huh,
and not this...
perversion?
It's not how it works.
Kat Ogden is...
still in there.
How do you know?
He knows.
He knows what we are.
How?
You've been talkin'
to him, haven't you?
That's not how it is.
No, you've been lettin' him
get inside of your head...
because that's what he does.
You think you know
what this is about.
Reverend, I'm telling you.
You're wrong.
Fine.
Why don't you
talk me through it?
I mean, what are
we up against here?
What is it inside of her, huh?
Look, until we know,
we gotta let it be.
For now, okay?
Come on.
I'll take you home.
(grunts)
(screams)
No, stop!
What the hell
is the matter with you?
You saw how he turned
the people against me!
They were laughin' at me!
Now, if-- if I can
bring her back,
they'll be packing
my church every week!
Every week!
I'm sorry. No.
Let's go.
Kyle!
Goddamn it!
What the hell?
We're doing this!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Goddamn it!
Kat!
Kyle! Goddamn it!
You're finished. Stop!
Johnny, stay! Stay!
Enough!
You don't know
what you're doin'!
Now, he explained
some of it to me.
He loves her.
That much is clear.
And that makes it right?
You're a cop.
You're supposed to
represent justice.
We're all just trying
to look out for each other.
Are we? Well, I don't see
no evidence of that!
What I see is a community
lookin' out for itself!
Fuck thy neighbor!
Fine, you have it your way,
but whatever happens,
it's on you!
You just remember that!
Kyle, go on in the house.
I got this.
(engine revs)
(door opens, closes)
(footsteps approaching)
Where have you been all day?
Mark...
tell me you didn't.
Do what?
Kill him and take
our money back?
I thought about it.
But he ain't worth it.
Well, where did you--
I sold my truck.
What?
Traded it in
for some piece of shit
out in the driveway.
You can go look
if you don't believe me.
Why would you do that?
I got us into
this shit-storm, not you.
Tomorrow morning,
we're gonna go get
your ring back.
Oh, he can take my truck.
He can even take my badge,
but he ain't taking your ring.
Thank you.
You can pick up
your personal items
from the front desk.
I ain't got much
in the way of family,
so my friends mean
a lot to me.
I will cross the line
to protect them.
(rocking chair creaking)
Where have you been?
Have a seat.
You're offering me a seat
in my own home?
This house belongs to God
and the people
of this congregation.
Not you.
As chairman of
the Board of Deacons,
I convened an emergency
meeting this morning.
Well, I guess
that would explain
why none of you were
at the service.
You think this is
a joking matter?
After your behavior?
That hideous mutilation
you displayed to the town?
I'm not proud
of that incident.
And I plan to make
a full apology
during my sermon
next Sunday.
John, can I--
But I will not apologize...
for the message
that I am sending out.
There is a disease
in this town,
and it's spreading
like a wildfire.
Now, you--
you can sit there
with your smug, self-righteous
looks on your faces...
or you can open
your fucking eyes
to the devil
in your midst.
I've already informed
the District Council
of your termination.
They're beginning a search
for your replacement.
Don't do this.
Unfortunately...
the rectory is
on church property.
You're gonna need
to clear out your things
as soon as possible.
You're making a big mistake.
A big mistake.
(sobs)
Hi.
Hi.
Come on in.
How's Amber?
Oh, she's fine.
Holly's been entertainin'
her all day.
Good.
Did you get any word
from Allison?
Nothin'.
She'll come back.
When she's ready.
No.
She won't, Megan.
You never asked me why.
Why I hit her.
Kyle--
Was I drunk,
or did I lose my temper.
Like, you knew
I always had a temper.
But this at least,
it didn't make sense, did it?
It didn't makes sense
to anybody.
I need you to keep
that in mind right now.
I need you to hold on
to that because...
none of this is gonna
make any sense, ever.
I was trying
to protect them.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
That day.
I came home...
and I-- I heard them.
I came upstairs,
and Allison was...
attacking Amber.
She was on top of her.
What?
But then I--
I had to stop her.
And that was the only way
I could stop her.
That's the only way
she stopped.
And now, I think...
I think that she's startin'
to remember
or that she has
remembered everything
and that's why she's gone.
Megan, I gotta find her,
because that's what
I've been protecting her from
this entire time, that memory.
Because I know
if she remembers everything,
she's not gonna be able
to live with herself.
I gotta find her, Megan.
Hey.
I should've called first.
Is everything okay?
I'm sorry. I didn't know
where else to go.
You've been fightin'.
For a while now...
for the first time...
I feel like I'm losin'.
(television chatter)
(loud music playing)
(television and music turns off)
Hey.
I'm Aaron.
Aaron McCready.
Okay.
I'm the one
who got you out.
Told Giles I witnessed
the whole thing.
Said Anderson carved
that pentagram on himself.
We both know
that's not what happened.
I was there,
outside the window.
I saw what you did to him.
And I gotta say,
that was some
serious shit, man.
Does your momma know
where you are?
What?
Go home.
While you're still safe.
I don't wanna go home.
Not if he's gonna be there.
Why do I get the feeling
we're talking about
a mutual friend?
Anderson.
I want him out
of my life.
MEGAN:
Want more
mashed potatoes?
Hold-- hold on.
A lot or a little?
Here, come sit down...
All right,
here it comes. A lot.
What about chicken?
KYLE:
Do you want a biscuit?
Here, Amber.
Come on.
You got it?
You want some tea?
Can we say grace?
That's not something
we normally do.
Well, Debusey at school
says grace every lunchtime,
and Debusey is really cool.
Wait. There's a kid
at your school called Debusey?
When did that
become a name?
If saying grace is
good enough for Debusey,
it's good enough
for the Holter family.
Mm-hmm.
And guests.
All right, well, let's link up.
Gonna do it,
better do it right.
Mm-hmm.
Dear Lord,
thank you for the food
we are about to receive.
May this food
restore our strength
and give new energy
to tired limbs.
We pray that
it will nourish
and rejuvenate our body
and our soul.
If any poor creature
is hungry or thirsty,
send him our way
and we would do our best
to feed him.
We will share our food
with all who are in need,
just as you share
your gifts with us.
Amen.
KYLE: Amen.
Where'd you learn that?
Debusey.
Well, that was pretty good.
MEGAN: What would you like?
You need a biscuit?
