Red Ruby (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - In Cold Blood - full transcript

We're here at Ruddy Creek,
where, just steps behind me,

a local energy company
is extracting oil

from deep below Millwood.

Previously on "Red Ruby"...

- Is there something wrong
with Annabele?

We haven't seen her
since last night.

Longtime residents may recall
Ruddy Cavern from 1994,

when a group of students
went missing in the
underground caves.

Just one of the Millwood Six
was recovered.

Please just do me
this one favor.

Stay away
from that place.



Why would someone be
walking out of the cave?

- Who are you?
- I'm Ruby, by the way.

And I'm hungry.

Do it again.

Wow.

Again.

So, is it, like,
hard to push out?

Like a Wolverine claw
sort of deal?

Or like you just sneeze
and then, like, they pop...

Are you okay?

Sorry, it's--
it's stupid.

Well, what is it?

I- I don't know.
I just--

I kinda thought my parents
would still be here.



Obviously that was dumb.
It's not 1994 anymore.

Hey, don't worry.
I'm sure they just moved
somewhere else nearby.

I think the only family
I have left are the Others.

The Others?
What others?

Theo!

No Netflix before bed.

I'm coming in there.

Were you talking to someone.

Where'd she-- ?

Jeez, it's cold in here.

You're letting out
all the heat.

Mom, who used
to live here before us?

Like, before we moved
into the house?

An old friend of mine.

But she-- we lost her.

Why?

No reason.

Good night.

I will see you
in the morning.

Love you.

♪ Never seen it clearer

♪ Run you down, down

By the end of
the 20th century,

the Ottoman Empire
was almost totally dissolved.

Can anyone guess why?

Anyone?

All right, look.

I know we're all pretty worried
about Annabele.

But I'm sure she'll
come back to us soon.

In the meantime,
I'm here to talk

if anyone needs
the extra support.

Hey, Theo, can you
hang back a second?

Yeah.

Sure, what's up?

I just wanted to catch up,
make sure you're all right.

I know you're pretty
fond of Annabele.

Me?

No, no, no.
Um, we're just friends,
you know?

I hardly knew her.

I hope that, um,
she comes back, though.

Is something else
on your mind?

Yeah, actually.

Vlad the Impaler?

You said he was like
the real life Dracula, right?

That's right.
The inspiration for the book.

Did he, by chance,
also have, like, red eyes

and could disappear
really quickly?

"Dracula" is a work
of fiction, Theo.

Besides, we're already
two chapters past this.

So, why don't you catch up
on your reading tonight, cool?

Yeah, cool.

And, Theo, try to smile
once in a while, okay?

Everything's gonna be fine.

Simon, sorry.

I didn't see you there.

Doing your rounds?

I used to go 36 hours
without yawning.

Getting older, I guess.

Do you know I have pain
in my ankles now?

It started in my lower back
and never stopped.

Doctor says
keep taking ibuprofen,

but at some point,
isn't my heart gonna stop?

If it does,
you're in the right place.

Although it won't be
Ibuprofen that kills me.

- It'll be--
- Blood.

The what?

The blood rushes to your head
more when you get older.

It does, you're right.

Well, have
a good one, Simon.

Yeah, you, too, Maya.

Barnes!

What do you want, Charlie?

I see the way
you look at Annabele.

It's pathetic.
You're obsessed with her.

Hey, man, chill out.
We're just friends, okay?

Friends?

She doesn't even
know your name.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Chill out.
- Tell me where she is.

I don't know, I don't know,
I promise.

- Can I jog your memory?
- What?

Theo.

Theo, are you okay?
What happened?

Charlie Van Der Hoek
happened.

What does he want from you?

I don't know.
Thinks I have something
to do with Annabele

'cause I had a crush on her
from, like, the third grade!

I mean, he kind of
does have a point.

You kind of
were a stalker.

What?

Flora, I was nine years old.

How could I not have
had a crush on her,
you know?

She's just so pretty.

Even when
she was mean to me.

And with those
weird glasses, too.

Her weird glasses, exactly.

Look.

What?

I know she's annoying...

Come on, we gotta go.
Come on, let's go.

- What about her glasses?
- Give me your hand.

- Where are you taking me?
- You'll find out in a second.
Come on.

What can I grab ya?

Soda? Sandwich?

We're not hungry.

You and those
other teenagers.

"I'm not hungry."

Other teenagers?

Maybe you can help us,
then.

We're looking
for our friend.

Her name's Ruby.
About yea tall,

black hair, feiry eyes.

- Pale. Sallow.
- Pallid. Cadaverous.

You're looking for her,
you say?

That's right.

So, have you seen her?

I- it doesn't ring any bells.

All right, listen,
if you need anything,
just let me know.

Wait.

We've decided.

We're hungry after all.

So, you really think

that these are
the same glasses,
then, right?

Positive.

When the cops picked us up,
I stepped right on 'em.

So, you think she's living
underground now or something?

Time will tell, Theo.

Okay.

Well, looks like
they stopped digging.

Yeah, they stop at 3:00,
just like school.

Found what you're
looking for?

No, but a second
set of eyes wouldn't hurt.

I mean you.

I swear they were
right over there.

- Maybe over...
- Here?

Haven't you heard?

It's dangerous to wander
'round here alone.

Where did you get these?

This land has been
in my family for centuries.

Nobody steps foot here
without my noticing.

So you-- you saw
Annabele, then?

The Van Der Hoek girl?
No.

I suspect she's miles from here,
if she's still breathing.

Come on, Theo,
we better get out of here.

'Kay, well, if you know
anything, you should
tell someone, all right?

Careful, children.

There are foul creatures
about these parts.

We are offering $50,000

to the person
who can bring

our sweet, darling
Annabele home.

- Annabele...
- Theo, dinner will
be ready in ten!

...if you can hear us,
please come home.

We're not mad at you, honey.

We miss you
and we love you.

Any new leads you can share
with us, Sheriff Preston?

No, I'm sorry. We have no new information at this time.

Any information should be sent directly

to the sheriff's office for the reward.

Yeah, you have a question?

Where's the rest?

It was that girl.
Ruby.

She was at the hospital.

Why didn't you stop her?

She was too fast.
She got away.

She took six bags of blood.

I'm sorry, Claudia.
I tried.

I tried, I really did.

Sleep tight, Simon.

Hey, you know, something was
really off about that woman.

Like, I couldn't tell
if she was 50 years old
or 150 years old.

- Flora.
- Really makes me wonder
how my skin's aging.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.
You hear that?

Do I hear what?

Flora!

Flora!

Flora!
Wake up, Flora!

Who-- who--
who are you guys?

We're looking for
an old friend of ours.

We thought you might
know where she is.

Why does everyone
keep asking me that?

I have no idea
where Annabele is.

All right? I had nothing
to do with that, okay?

That's not who we're after.

We're looking for Ruby.

Ruby? Okay, she straight up
disappeared

and she didn't tell me
where she was going, okay?

If you lost our friend...

Then maybe we ought
to borrow yours.

Hey.

You were looking for me?

Don't even think
about it, Amber.

Stay behind me, Theo.

You won't be
so lucky next time.

Guess I'll just tell my mom
she fell off her bike.

From what I saw,
that's not completely untrue.

Those two back there, man.

Ian and Amber.

Wait, you--
you know them?

They were in the cave
with me for 25 years.

Then why are you
running from them?

It's complicated, Theo.
And I need rest.

When will I see you again?

When it's safe.

Next on "Red Ruby"...

This fax just came in.
You need to see this.

Give me the blood.

Don't worry, child.
You're safe now.
