Preacher (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Puzzle Piece - full transcript
Jesse gets a much-needed breakthrough in his search for God. Tulip continues to spiral.
Previously on AMC's "Preacher"...
JESSE: Guys were wearing white suits.
It's a religious organization
with designs on world domination.
He says that he is dying,
that he wants to live forever.
He thinks that you can help him do that.
Time's up.
[Gasps]
How'd you sleep?
I dreamed about him again.

JOHN: Jesse...
much bigger things are coming for you.
Much bigger things than this here.
So, you got to be one of the good guys.
'Cause why?
'Cause there's way too many of the bad.
You promise me?
[Sobbing] I promise, Daddy.
You stop that.
We Custers don't cry.
- We fight.
- I did this, Daddy!
I prayed for this! It's all my fault!

MAN [On Internet Video]:
It wasn't like
I was out there looking for God.
I mean, I'm... I'm not a nut job, right?
It was a normal Sunday,
and I always eat toast on Sunday.
I mean, sometimes a
bagel, but usually toast.
So, anyway, this Sunday, I'm just about
to put my strawberry jam on my toast...
- Hi.
- When I see this face.
- Hey.
- I'm looking at the crust, and it hits me...
It's God's freakin' face!
Did Dork Docs not pan out?
Nope. [Sighs]
Some good stuff here.
Maybe.
Praying to God every night...
You know, Denis is feeling better.
Denis?
Yeah, Denis.
He's getting a nice little
glow back in his cheeks.
I think he's gonna make it.
That's great, Cass.
Yeah.
Looks like we didn't
need your help after all.
Right there, watching me...
So, what, are we looking
for God on YouTube now?
Is that what it's come to?
God is missing, Cass.
It's important.
Without God, there's no structure.
No order.
With no one at the wheel,
we hit the rocks, and it's...
It's chaos. There has
to be someone in charge.
Without God, we have...
[Rapid Chopping]
- Without God, we have...
- [Chopping Continues]
It's getting there.
[Door Opens]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Wh...
- Don't say it, Jesse.
Don't say it.
[Sighs]
Hey, can I get one of those?
Yeah. Sure.
[Sighs]
Yeah, so, it took three from a 44.
But you know what...
[Sighs]
I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Tulip, love, maybe you
should give that place a rest.
I got it.
We're good.
Hear that, Cass?
He's got it. We're good.
So, what are you boys doing, huh?
Babe, I know you don't
want to hear this...
Jesse. We've been over this.
You really, really need to get some...
I'm not going to sleep, okay?!
[Softly] Hey.
Hey.
[Echoing] Sleep.
[Glass Clinks]
- [Normal Voice] She was tired.
- Yeah.
[Sniffs]
[Echoing] Sleep.
FEATHERSTONE: There, sir, you see?
That's the power I've
been talking about.
He just said "Go to sleep,"
and she went to sleep,
just like that.
People do whatever he says.
What do you think?
I think I'm bored.
What kind of world is it
when a woman obeying a man
is seen as a superpower?
I have a date.
Kill them all.

♪
This is nice.
And they opened it just for you.
My father told me you
were very important.
Right?
Is what right?
That you're important... Your job.
Yes, I suppose that's true.
You're not satisfied with it?
I work for the most powerful
organization in the world...
Agents in 113 countries
ready to do my bidding
at a moment's notice.
Impressive.
And yet...?
And yet...
[Sighs]
And yet, I have been feeling a little...
disenchanted lately.
Hmm.
I was like you once...
Looking for sense of
purpose and meaning.
On the surface, I had it all, but...
my life was like a jigsaw
puzzle with one missing piece,
one vital piece.
I traveled, volunteered.
And then, one night, in a
hospital in the inner city,
Stephen walked into my life.
He was 8 years old, tears in his eyes.
His mama was a crack addict,
his daddy was a deadbeat,
and he was developmentally challenged.
For months, all I saw was his tears.
But then, one day, I reached into my bag
and I gave him a chocolate...
Just one chocolate...
And that's when it happened.
[Chuckles] He smiled.
For the first time.
A simple act of kindness
had changed his life, and...
that beautiful smile was
my missing puzzle piece.
[Chuckles]
The smile of an indigent half-wit?
That was your puzzle piece?
You understand they
smile all the time, right?
[Sighs]
Your father is the
Governor of Louisiana, yes?
Mm-hmm.
Has he ever been to Angola?
The country or the prison?
Either.
Stand up.
Remove your shirt.
Hold the butter in your hand.
Not the tray... The butter.
Take it in your hand.
Tuck it under your chin.
Tuck... it under your chin.
Now, listen carefully.
In the general ballpark, how
long can you hold your breath?
[Sighs]
Never mind.
♪
[Thuds]
I love you.
Shut up, Hoover.
I was supposed to be
in Ulan Bator tomorrow.
Now, because of your incompetence...
Who's first?
He is. I am.
On the tarp.
FEATHERSTONE: You're absolutely
right to be disappointed, sir.
We deserved to be put down.
[Trigger Clicking]
Let me say what an honor it's
been to serve the organization.
Our sacred mission is...
- Damn it.
- Sir, may I?
The Glock has a tendency to jam.
Let me just...
I assume you'll try
to kill Custer again.
- Immediately.
- [Clatters]
May I ask which method?
Gas leak, oven fire, junkie break-in...
If I may be so bold,
Custer just took out
six Samson operatives...
Easily.
Have you had a chance
to look at his file?
He poses a direct
threat to the Holy Child.
We cannot underestimate him.
What would you suggest?
A target like this?
We should activate B.R.A.D.
You don't think that's overkill?
I think it's just the
right amount of kill.
[Gun Cocks]
What is your name again?
Featherstone, sir.
We met at the conference
in Paris last year
and the weapons lecture in Budapest
and this morning.
It will take time to activate B.R.A.D.
Meanwhile, I have a rape fantasy.
Oh, absolutely, sir.
I'll put on a miniskirt
and some lipstick...
Not you.
I want a professional.
Oh.
Something rough, ready, cruel.
One of those no-means-yes things, sir?
- Exactly.
- We're on it.
I'll contact B.R.A.D.
Hoover here will take
care of the professional.
[Gun Cocks]
Thank you, sir.
I'm going to leave the tarp out.
If you fail again, it'll be waiting.

What, you would have been cool about it?
Of course I would.
Well, maybe next time, then, huh?
They're coming back.
The men in white.
I don't know how, but
they're coming back.
I've set 20 cops on the perimeter,
so no one's getting
in without us knowing.
We're gonna get answers, Cass.
I just need one of them alive.
[Groans]
When are they coming back, do you think?
Well, they have resources, obviously.
They want me pretty bad.
I put money on them coming back tonight.
All right.
You gonna be ready?
I only got half an intestine.
Missing me bloody liver.
But I got me meds, so...
I'll do me best, all right?
All right.
Good man.
Padre.
I'm not the one we need
to be worried about.
You remember Ixtapa?
Back when we were still on the
run from the Rodriguez Brothers?
You had that bad earache.
Must've been for, what... weeks?
Going from crappy
small-town doctor to doctor.
You were in agony.
That pain just wouldn't go away.
Then Teddy Rodriguez
shows up with his crew.
It must have been...
15 to 2.
But we fought 'em...
Teddy, Nunes, that
albino with the teeth.
Remember?
We ran them off, and we
got the hell out of there.
Must have been about an
hour later, way up the road,
you suddenly realized
the earache had gone.
Couldn't feel that pain no more.
No more running out at night, Tulip.
No more bulletproof vests.
This is what you need... A fight.
You used The Word on me.
I didn't know what else to do.
[Quietly] I was so worried.
You slept, though, right?
Did you dream?
Well, maybe you should
sit this one out, you know,
check into a hotel, put your feet up.
Me and Cass will deal with this.
[Laughs]
[Clears Throat] Oh, Jesse...

I'm gonna need a gun.

This is nice.
And they opened it just for you.
My father told me you
were very important.
Right?
Is what right?
That you're important... Your job.
Yes, I suppose that's true.
You're not satisfied with it?
I work for the most powerful
organization in the world...
Agents in 113 countries
ready to do my bidding
at a moment's notice.
Impressive.
And yet...?
And yet...

And yet, I have been feeling a little...
disenchanted lately.
Hmm.
I was like you once...
Looking for sense of
purpose and meaning.
On the surface, I had it all, but...
my life was like a jigsaw
puzzle with one missing piece,
one vital piece.
I traveled, volunteered.
And then, one night, in a
hospital in the inner city,
Stephen walked into my life.
He was 8 years old, tears in his eyes.
His mama was a crack addict,
his daddy was a deadbeat,
and he was developmentally challenged.
For months, all I saw was his tears.
But then, one day, I reached into my bag
and I gave him a chocolate...
Just one chocolate...
And that's when it happened.
[Chuckles] He smiled.
For the first time.
A simple act of kindness
had changed his life, and...
that beautiful smile was
my missing puzzle piece.

That was your puzzle piece?

smile all the time, right?

He poses a direct
threat to the Holy Child.
