Reprisal (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Horpus Horrendous - full transcript

Big Graham is back. The 3 River Phoenixes have to cover for one of their own, and Ethan finally chooses a side. Earl is called away to deal with a crisis at home. The Harlow siblings are reunited, and Doris surprises Queenie.

You've grown tall, Katherine.

Guess I've been gone
long enough for you to grow.

You know, our father...

He was a bitter man.

Bitter and weak.

We may have been born
with his name,

but we damn sure are not weak.

It's Mom's blood in our veins.

It's her spirit.

It's her name‐‐Harlow.

That's who we truly are.



Come with me, Katherine.

Move beyond that horizon

and come see the true family
that I've built for us,

where you'll be loved...

Where you'll be home.

I told you
not to go out there, didn't I?

So this is the place, huh?

Not as gothic as I'd heard,
but not bad.

Mm‐hmm.
Here you go.

Just a little.

I remember when he brought you
to us.

Said he gave you
a choice, but...

how the hell
is a 12‐year‐old

supposed to decide
where to grow up...



Especially after hearing
your father beaten to death?

I don't care how bad he was.

No child deserves to hear
a parent die like that.

And even at such a young age,

I could see
a difference in you.

Hell, you're
his goddamn sister.

I don't know anything
fucking truer than that.

Which is what
I'm most afraid of.

You're gonna want to
come back here,

and I'm telling you, Katherine,
you just can't,

because if he can do this...

I'm afraid I don't know
what comes next.

Get out of here.
Go away.

Be happy you survived.

And just know...

your brother...

Your brother will eat himself.

I see it...

one day,
one way or another,

if he hasn't already.

Take comfort in that.

When I take you
to the station

and you head up north...

think long and hard
about staying gone.

But if you do decide
to come back...

You're gonna need this.

And if I ever see you again...

I'll be happy to tell you
all about where it came from.

Hey, get over here and help.

I fucked up.
I'm sorry.

Always thought I'd do
anything for the Brawlers.

But Avron...

He saw
the whole Katherine situation

and tried to turn it
against us.

Became a threat to us.

And you saw that threat,
and you said, "Fuck it."

That's more of a Phoenix
than I've ever been.

What are we gonna do with him?

Mm.

I got a friend a couple
hundred miles up the river.

Alice?

Alice.

Alice?

Hello.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Sure.

Yeah, um...

That wasn't what I expected.

Is that your way of
telling me that I was right?

I'm not sure you ain't
ever been wrong before, Bernice.

I just can't get what you said
out of my head, you know,

about me robbing
and gunning it all away.

And, um, some shit just
went down out here.

So...

You're the smartest man I know, Earl.

And something told you
to follow her, and you did.

You asked me to trust you,

when trusting you's
always been my weakness.

There ain't nothing weak about you,
Bernice.

Keep following your gut, then,

and I'll see you
when you get home.

He may or may not come around.

I don't know.

That was the place...

motel last night.

Think I had a run‐in
with one of her guys.

Can't say for sure, but...

There's really someone sniffing
around here for her,

we got to find them...

Now.

Hey!

Um, hey.

Are you trying to get
a head start today?

Took it easy last night.

What was going on?

What, you...
you didn't hear?

About Katherine and Meredith?

You told them where she was?

I didn't tell them about you.

What's that matter, Meredith?

W‐what about when
they put it together?

You don't know
that they will.

You think if they find her,
they're just gonna forget?

Well, you've seen
how much they drink.

If my mother put me
through hell,

if she's the reason
that I've always felt alone...

then Doris was the one person
that gave me hope.

Hmm.

It's why‐‐it's why I did it,
without even questioning her...

Because I trusted her.

I've always trusted her.

And then she used you.

She used you.

If this is your home...

and you really feel like
you belong here...

Then maybe it's time
to cut your ties.

Good morning, Molly.

Where have you been?

I never asked you
how it felt...

That.

You haven't ever opened up
to me very much, really.

Have you ever seen me
open up to anyone before?

I guess that's why
Colin's family never knew

what to make of you.

Sometimes I don't think
Tommy ever knew

what to make of me either.

What'd you really come
down here for, Doris?

To hurt some people.

A few...

Who I once loved very much...

and who once hurt me
very badly.

Perhaps...

no more than the one
I was with last night.

Is he dead?

I'm not sure.

I once asked you what
it felt like to kill someone...

when you killed Colin.

And you said you weren't sure
if you felt anything at all,

and I..

I‐I didn't know
what you meant by that.

I‐I couldn't even begin
to fathom it.

Colin wasn't a good man,
not in the least.

I don't even think he saw me
as another human being.

And when I found out
what was going on

with him and you
and the restaurant, I...

Well, it's like you said...

It was my idea.

But when I heard him,

when I heard him struggling,

when I heard those gunshots...

When I knew he was gone...

I suppose...

not everyone with a place
in our hearts...

deserves it.

I'm glad you're down here
with me, Molly.

How the fuck
that piece get there?

Is that Lander Graham?

Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

What a magnificent sight...

if I do say so myself.

Tolly, how you been?

Last I knew,
you were supposed to be

getting locked up.

Did I hear that right?

You, uh, whacked one
of your business partners?

Little bit of why I'm here.

Why?
You need a favor?

Because not for nothing,

you and me ain't been friends
for a while.

You remember that, right?

Is that right?

You promised me just east
of that highway over there.

As soon as we set up shop,

your goons came
and shot 'em all down.

Huh.
Shit.

I can't even keep up with my
own fucking feuds no more.

Tolly...

I'm looking for somebody.

Blonde...

egomaniac.

Okay.

Part of me thinks

this is a false lead, you know,

but I want to say she wasn't in
here looking to bowl, you know?

The guy that used to run
this place,

fucking dipshit named Bolo‐‐

I even let him use
his own dum‐dum name‐‐

he did mention something
about a woman coming in

looking for a crew.

Not that he was able
to do shit for her,

but not ten minutes later,
we got knocked over

by the, uh...

By the, uh, monsters?

Monster Ring?

Yeah, them.

We got knocked over
by the Monster guys.

I put the fucking screws
to Bolo, put the screws,

to motivate the putz to figure
out who they was, but...

Nothing?

He disappeared.

I don't know if the craven
motherfucker ran or what.

- Hmm.
- That's why I've had to deal

with this
family fun bullshit since,

run the games we got
in the back.

We did track him...

To a little landscaping shack.

But we never seen
nobody come or go

except for this one woman
that works there.

Let me guess.
She didn't know nothing, right?

I don't know.

I'm not interested in talking
to her, so I haven't.

Tolly...

are you a fucking moron?

Little bit.

Your name, Flip?

It's Lenny.

Lenny.
You remember me, Lenny?

I think.

Guy I was talking to
last night...

scar on his neck‐‐

who was he?

A guy.

A guy you've seen around?

We don't allow smoking
in here.

Could pull his fuses.

The woman
with the blonde hair,

who else she been here with?

Look, man, I just‐‐
What the fuck?

'Cause if you don't give it to us,

we're gonna pull
your fucking fuses.

- You understand that?
- Fucking what?

Okay.

Look, look, look, look, look.

Uh‐‐uh, usually, it was just
four of 'em except, uh‐‐

Except?

Lenny.
- There's been some guy.

He's got, uh, some hair

and, uh‐‐and a shitty
station wagon.

He's been around a lot.

It's Witt.

Who the fuck is Witt?

That birdman looks
pretty neat.

What do you think his name was?

What was that, sweetie?
What?

The birdman over there.

I was wondering
if it was Harold.

Maybe he came to tell me
his story.

Mm‐hmm.
Maybe.

Seat belts.

Seat belts.

Okay, everything is cool,

'cause they don't know shit.

Just got to fight 'em,
just got to play it cool.

I can explain everything.

Look, I was‐‐I was on the road.

I was working...

and I just came across her.

I swear.

I swear that's what happened.
I s‐‐

Why didn't you tell us?

I don't know.

A good deal of our family
are dead because of her

and because of you.

And the kid, he...

What kid?

Ethan.

Let's see, we got Doris,

Joel, Mom.

I think I'm gonna guess Doris.

He text you back?

No, but like you said,

- their schedule doesn't change.
- Hmm.

Hello, Witt.

I see you go by Doris now.

Where's Witt?

Well, he's right
where you put him.

And that kid, Ethan...

That was very clever,
Katherine.

Where is he?

Weren't you worried
that something like this

would happen to him?

Yes, I was.

But you did it anyway.

Now, that's a Harlow
if I ever knew one.

Dottie, what's going on?

We just, um...

We need to wait.
We need to wait.

Okay. Yes.

Yes, masks!
Masks!

What the hell is this?

We just want the cash.

You...

Let's go, come on.
The trunk.

Whoa, whoa.
What are you doing with him?

You follow us, it's his ass.

Hi, Ethan.

What in the world?

It's a river.

They know the river.

We could cigarette‐burn
your whole car, you know?

We don't even care
about the money.

Shit, that little
won't even get noticed.

We'll call it a slow week
and move the hell on.

We just want our brother.

Call 'em back later.

You can't go with them.

Ethan...

Burt knows.

No.
You've been lying to me.

- I'm‐‐I'm not lying to you.
- The guy never died.

I bought it at first,

but I saw it when you said
the lawyers were good to go.

I knew it.
It was too easy, too neat.

- Ethan, I only did it‐‐
- You only did it for yourself.

No.

Ethan, Ethan, listen to me.

Okay...

I am not lying to you, not now.

Burt knows,
and you can go home.

You need to go home.

Anything that happens
to me, Doris,

it'll only be because
you brought me down here.

Lyla, sweetheart,
come have some lunch.

Lyla!

Lyla?

Well, this is nice.

Did you know about him?

Who's that?

Ethan.

I've seen him around.

People saw you come back
with him...

that morning
after Katherine kidnapped you.

He didn't know
what she was up to.

He thought she was trying
to help him,

to protect him.

But she lied to him.

He doesn't deserve whatever
it is you're gonna do to him.

Well...

people rarely have.

How do you think she knew

when the Ghouls were gonna
make their drop at Percy's?

Who do you think planted
that bag of guns

that she and her friends used
to light this place up...

and kill a good deal
of your family?

Now, I've put some Brawlers
on the river to bring him back.

And when they do...

I'm gonna have him
tell you himself.

Come on.

[trilling continues

Come on, Matty.

Call 'em back later.

Hello.

Is that you, Earl?

Earl, my name is Lander,
Lander Graham.

Afraid you might know me
as Big Graham.

You and me, we got
some business to discuss.

Earl?

Cordell‐- - Whatever you
about to say, don't even say it.

You better not think
for one goddamn second

I'm gonna let you go up there
by yourself.

Bernice is my family, too.

So let's get out of here.

What did we learn
on the Archipelago?

Split up if we have to,
but what?

Never leave a man behind.
This is different.

But it ain't, though.

After all the shit
we done been through.

You know,
maybe if we never said yes,

maybe if we killed her
in the first place‐‐

hell, maybe if we never stepped
foot into fucking Bolo's...

None of that matters now.

And she got something
she needs to handle,

and she needs her team
behind her.

So after I get done handling
Big Graham,

you tell Dottie
I'll be back in time

to ask her brother
why he did it.

Katherine.

Hello, Burt.

How you feeling?

I was wondering
if you'd like to meet,

you and me.

What the hell?

Well...

they know.

Know what?

Johnson, know what?

Ethan...

know what?

It's been me.

This whole time,
it's‐‐it's been me.

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Johnson?
- Your call, bud.

You know
they're not gonna stop

till we stop.

I finally figured out Harold's story.

Harold's been trying to find
his face.

His face?

Harold's been trying to
figure out where he came from,

but it's been difficult

because nobody can
recognize him.

Because he doesn't
have a face.

That's correct, daddy‐o.

- Did he find it?
- That's his story.

Because it turns out,
that years ago,

he accidentally dropped his face
in a park without realizing it.

So he had to retrace
every step, good and bad,

a journey that he found to be
quite horrendous,

which is why I call his story
The Horpus Horrendous.

- I lit a match.
- What?

Seat belts.

Seat belts.

It's a funny thing, isn't it?

Just how goddamn small
this world can be.

How many times you slick pricks
robbed me, huh?

Each time, impressive,
got to say.

I don't even know how you kept
with the shit

I was running back then.

And yet, now...

here we sit.

Completely different set
of circumstances.

Earl...

My man.

Your wife seems like
a nice person.

You care about her...

you'll take me
to our mutual friend.

You understand that?

There's no one here.

Why don't you two wait
in the car?

What?

Fuck, no.

Please.

It's okay.

Bash is alive.

Bad shape but alive.

To be honest, I had hoped so.

I told you never to come back.

Did you ever believe
that I wouldn't?

Huh.

I told you
that if you ever did,

I'd tell you all about where that
pistol in your hand came from.

When, uh, I'd travel
with the circus,

small group of us, we'd...

rob banks in the towns
we were passing through.

That's it.
That's the story.

I was a bank robber,
and that's my old gun.

Point is...

I never thought
I'd see you again, Katherine.

I wish you hadn't
come back here.

Where's Burt?

In the barn.

The way he sees it,

he figured you'd come gunning
for him pretty early on.

He wanted to give you a chance
to think about his offer.

You were wronged.

You came back,
started a bogus war,

got a bunch of people killed
in the process,

and now you're here.

And if you had anything
anywhere else,

you'd be there...

not here.

So he'd like to welcome you
back in.

Hmm.

All you got to do is
trust me.

Give me our gun and go see him.

What's he waiting
in there with?

Would I ever put you
in danger?

So you're blonde now?

What did I tell you...

the last time we saw
each other

about Mom's stren‐‐

I ain't been shot
in a long time.

I was wondering
if I could have that back.

That one belonged to my friend.

It was nice to see you,
Queenie.

Oh, um...

it's wonderful to be home.

All right.
Well...

Let's make this right.

Let's go find your girl.
