Rectify (2013–2016): Season 1, Episode 5 - Drip, Drip - full transcript

Hey.

I know you.

So where you headed?

I don't know.

Not all who wander are lost.

Yeah.

Till you get things figured out,

do you reckon you could give me
a hand with a little chore?

I don't mind.

Can-do attitude.

How did you get here?



Through the wall.

That's not possible.

Shh.

It's weird, isn't it?

What is?

That I know exactly
when I'm gonna die.

It's very sad, Kerwin.

It has its pluses.

You can grieve your own death.

Forgot my key.

Shh.

Hey, should I stay
back here with 'em?

Nah, they'll be fine.

I'm the one need the company.



Slide down.

Get low in your seat.

Best they don't see you with me.

You can peek out
once in a while.

Oh! Damn!

Where'd you go, son?

You want to see
something different?

I know you're tempted,
but don't peek.

There she blows.

Somebody made that up.

It's the beauty
that hurts you most, son.

Not the ugly.

You ain't going nowhere.
Come here.

Come here.

He's skinny, but he's forked.

This is your trip,
but you about to pull a 360.

You gonna run 'em off a cliff?

- What?
- Like swine.

You read too much.

I put a knot on your head?

I think so.

Oh!

Once it opens up,
it's hard to staunch.

- Whoa, Nelly.
- What?

- Stop. Stop.
- What?

That's it?

That's the sign you're looking for?

Them damn things is everywhere.

Hey. You did me a solid.

It's yours.

I don't want any.

You can't get nowhere
in this world without money.

Hey.

Are you real?

Am I real?

I want some of what
you're taking.

Welcome home, husband.

- Hi.
- How was it?

- Informative.
- In a good way?

Maybe.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I missed you.

- Teddy.
- Yeah?

I want you to keep
an open mind.

Okay.

I believe there's been
a miracle.

A real miracle.

Really?

It was the most beautiful
thing, Teddy.

It strengthened my faith.

What happened?

Daniel's gonna be saved.

What?

Daniel.

What a nice surprise.

Is everything okay?

Remember when you were a kid and

you came back to that place
you were years later and

everything seemed so small?

- Yeah.
- It seems bigger now.

You want some coffee?

It's nothing fancy.

Just made.

I'd like that, Ted.

Well, we were getting ready
for the jubilee.

- At our church?
- Well, yes.

And we were making casseroles.

Oh, Pastor Beau met him
and was so welcoming.

And we got to talking.

You and Daniel got to talking?

Yes, Teddy.
About big things.

So you invited him to our church?

Isn't that what we're supposed
to do as Christians?

Of course it is, Tawney.

But, I mean, our church?

Honey, they're practically the last
group that buys tires from us.

Well, that's not gonna stop.

What?

It just doesn't make
any sense to me.

What doesn't?

I mean, look, the Holdens
have never been religious people.

I mean, none of 'em.

And I'm pretty sure Amantha
is a full-blown atheist.

And if she does believe in God,
she probably hates His guts.

Why can't you ever see
the good in people?

I see good in people.

And why can't God perform
miracles in this town right now?

Of course He can.

I saw it in his eyes.

You saw what?

A goodness.
And a need.

A need for what?

For God, Teddy.

A need for God.

- Oh, boy.
- He wants to be cleansed.

Cleansed of all he's been through.

Now I saw it

and I felt it.

He's... he's seeking...

What's that word?

He's seeking absolution.

Why do you care
about him so much?

Because he's one
of God's children.

And I believe he has
suffered unjustly.

Terribly so.

Maybe more than Job.

- What?
- Nothing.

Why do you hate him so much?

Hate him?
I don't even know him.

Hell, that's part of the problem.

All I know is he got off
death row six days ago

on some DNA thing
I still don't fully understand.

And now you're hanging out
with him as soon as I leave town.

It was nice of you
to marry my mother.

Nice of me?

I'm the lucky one.

I remember him.

I'm not planning to work here,
I just wanted you to know.

Somebody been talking to you?

When I was a kid,

even then I knew
I wouldn't work here.

I just wasn't...

I wanted to tell him,
but I couldn't.

Something like that

would be hard for a boy
to tell his father.

And now I'm sort of glad I didn't.

You don't trust
my judgment, do you?

I think you see the good
in everybody you meet, Tawney.

But I'm here to tell you,
not all people are good.

I know good, decent people,

people I've known my whole life,

people I would trust
my own children with

that believe in their hearts
that he is a cold-blooded killer.

And you can't dismiss that just
because you don't want it to be true.

Now, look, I'll give him
the benefit of the doubt.

Okay, for you, for Mom,

for Dad, Jared,
hell, even Amantha.

All I'm saying is
for him to be on death row

all those years,
no one was facing him

and he didn't do nothing
to get right with the Lord.

Then he gets out
and in six days

he gets testified to
by some pretty young woman...

- I don't appreciate...
...and all of a sudden

he's filled with the spirit?

I'm sorry.

That seems pretty damn
suspicious to me.

I don't think...

I believe he meant it.

Then there's nothing left
to talk about.

I'm gonna go check on Dad.

Got the big semiannual
tire sale coming up.

Lot of good that's gonna do.

♪ There's nothing to do
on a lonely Friday night ♪

♪ Except drive to the end of town ♪

♪ And turn around
at the Church of Christ ♪

♪ And wave to your friends
as they go past... ♪

Hey, bud.
See the dancing man?

Hope you got it on sale.

Got all the fliers.
5,000.

5,000?

Got a good deal, don't worry.

I'm worried where we're gonna
find 5,000 cars to put 'em on.

One at a time.

I think we'll be lucky to get one
in 500 of those to even come in.

That would be something.

- How was the seminar?
- It was okay.

Everything all right at home?

Yeah, it's fine, Dad.
Where's the ceramic mechanic?

- Oh, Daniel took it.
- What?

Well, he came by here.
He looked kind of pitiful, too.

Yeah, he's got that look down.
What did he want with the mechanic?

- It belonged to his daddy.
- It belongs to the store.

Well, I didn't know you cared
so much for it.

I touch it every day
that I come in here.

Really? Why?

I don't know. Luck or...
never mind why I touch it.

- The point is I touch it.
- We'll get another one.

That's not the point, Dad.

Why don't you go back home,

get some rest,
and I'll put out the fliers?

No, I'll put 'em out.

I need to get some fresh air.

Do we know what time
he made his escape?

No.

But he stopped by the store
at midmorning to see your dad.

- Dad?
- Ted, I mean.

Ted say how he was doing?

Disheveled.

So what do we do?
Call the men in white coats?

Are there still men
in white coats?

I hope not.

What about the men
in white hats?

They never existed.

Deep down you're darker
than I am, Mother. Admit it.

I don't think I want
to do that, Amantha.

Well, I guess we just wait, then.

I think so.

- He'll be...
- Locked up.

I'm gonna start finishing
my own sentences.

Please, Mother, you'll take away
one of my few pleasures.

Mom. Janet?

It's Teddy.

Lord works in mysterious ways.

Be right down.

Hope it's okay I just dropped
by like I always have.

Of course. No pie.

That's okay.
No worries.

There's monkey bread
on the counter.

- Teddy?
- Sure.

So Daniel adjusting okay?

Splendidly.

Can't say I wasn't a little surprised
by his decision.

Decision?

He didn't tell you?

What decision?

Turning his life
over to the Lord.

What?

Washed in the blood.

What in the hell
are you talking about, Teddy?

Daniel's getting baptized tonight
at the jubilee.

I assumed y'all knew.

Jared Talbot,
please come to the office.

Jared Talbot.

Hey, Daniel.

Hey, Jared.

Been a while.

Yeah, heard that.

It's a trip thinking
of you being here now.

Yeah, I bet.

Can we help you with something?

Do you want me to call Mom?

See if she can come
pick you up?

I'll walk.

Thank you, though.

Back to class.

Daniel and Tawney have been
hanging out a little bit.

When?

When I was out of town, for one.
They met at the church.

She might have hung out
with him here, I don't know.

- She hasn't.
- How do you know?

- What's your point?
- My point?

You ever think how it makes me feel
to have to come over here?

I don't really care
how you feel, Ted.

Amantha.

I just thought
you'd like to know, that's all.

I thought you assumed
we already did.

In case you didn't.

I knew you'd crucify the messenger,
especially if it was me.

Oh, I'm sure it was just torture
for you to come over here

and drop a big fat turd
right at our feet.

- Bless your little heart.
- That's enough. Really.

Hello?

Danny?

Well...

great monkey bread.

Daniel?

Daniel?

What?

Can we speak with you?

Uh, okay.

How you doing, buddy?

Very well.
How are you?

Well, we're worried
about you, honey.

Why?

- Well...
- 'Cause we love you.

Love is

patient and kind.

Love is

not jealous or

boastful or

proud.

That's a lot of money.

Is it?

For cash?
Looks like it.

You think it was ill-gotten?

No, I don't think that.

Mother?

I don't know, Daniel.

I don't either.

I have to get ready.

Where you headed?

- You don't know?
- We know.

Well, if you know,
then why did you ask?

Because we don't know
how to talk to you, honey.

Just talk. Say anything.

What?

Daniel, we think
that you should consider

holding off going
through with the...

Being saved?

Maybe you should sleep on it.

Have you been getting much sleep?

- Can you guarantee I'll be here?
- What do you mean?

- Could happen at any time.
- What could?

Anything. Anything could
happen at any time.

And now I don't have time.

- Time?
- Daniel. Daniel, please.

Please what? Please be the way
you want me to be?

- No, I just want you to be happy.
- I will be happy.

- When I'm cleansed, I will be happy.
- Daniel, please.

I don't know how
you want me to be.

- But, Daniel...
- I'm not even sure if I'm alive.

Oh, honey.

Just stop. Stop living
your life for me, Amantha.

I never asked you to, ever.

Now please...

I'd like to walk
through that door

like a person.

I feel I have reason now.

Yes, you do.

Just to be here,

to be right here.

God has a plan for you, Daniel.

I'm alive, Tawney.

I would say so.

I thought I was dead
when I was in there.

And out here,

I still didn't believe it,
that I was alive.

It was like...

I thought it was like
a dead man's dream, you know?

You'll never die now, Daniel.

Will you ever die, Tawney?

No.

I'm so glad.

Hey, don't be ashamed.

God is releasing your pain.

Where does it go?

He takes it.

You make me so happy, Tawney.

It's Jesus that makes
you happy, not me.

What?

The goat man told me it's the beauty,
not the ugly that hurts the most.

The goat man?

I was with him today and we...

we walked and...

gathered all of the goats together
and there was this girl

and she had a head
of another girl in her hands.

But she had a goat's body.

And that was after

I had gone to her window.

- Whose window?
- Then we wrestled.

I knew I was wrestling
with myself

and he could have won.

He had me, but he helped me up.

And we walked together.

And a tall man at the store
led me back.

Back to my father.

To your father?

To Ted's.
Back to Ted's.

And the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.

And finally back here to you.

May I kiss you, Tawney?

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.

It's okay.

- You're just...
- Filled with the spirit.

Yes?

Yes.

How about I call
your mama, Daniel?

No.

Thank you
for everything, Tawney.

Let me give you a ride home.

You're all wet.

One day, maybe...

I'll let you give me
a ride home.

I like it out here.

Do you feel all the life?

I do.

Maybe there is a God.

Goodbye, Tawney.

Oh, damn it, Dad.

Stupid idea.

Hey, Ted.

Don't kill him.
Let him dance.

Sure, buddy.

So you did the deed, huh?

I did.

How was it?

Fantastical.

Fantastical, huh?

You want some coffee?

You can watch
your friend from inside.

I like coffee.

So all your sins
are forgiven now, huh?

That must be a load off.

I'm not sure.

Not sure about what?

Seemed so at first

that I had truly been cleansed.

But then I...

it's confusing.

Nothing confusing.

Sins are either forgiven
or they're not.

Doesn't seem
so black and white, Ted.

Cut the shit, buddy.

It's me you're talking to.

That's right.

I don't buy your lost soul act
for a minute.

You don't want
to get right with God.

You want to get right
with my wife.

Right in bed with her.

No. No, that's not true.

Listen, you want a piece of ass,

then you go pick up
some skank at the bar.

But you stay the hell away
from my Tawney.

You hear me?

She's out of bounds.

Off-limits.
Is that clear enough?

Yes.
I shouldn't be around her.

I'm not sure you should be
around anybody.

Stay the hell away from me
while you're at it.

You know, one thing's just been
bugging the shit out of me.

What's that?

When you was telling me
that sickening shower story,

which I still don't understand
why you told me something like that...

- You asked.
- But when you said how

it doesn't do any good
to fight back,

you know, 'cause there's
too many of them or something...

you remember that?
You remember saying that?

I do remember that.

Now what I want to know is...
is did you?

Fight back.

Or did you just...

relax and enjoy it?

It's not that simple.

It's exactly that simple.

There are things you don't know.

Yeah, well,

as long as it's things you know.

Sick weirdo.

Come in here
undoing everything.

Hey!
