Reprisal (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - The Horse Cabbage Heart - full transcript

Beer?

Ahh.

Mmm.

I'm on the road quite a bit.

Long time now.

And I am a fan

of establishments
like this right here.

Oh, yeah.

Believe it or not,
not easy to find.

Huh. Really is.

'Cause a lot of places...



well, lotta places
are full of lowlifes.

Mm, but not‐‐
not this establishment.

No, no, no.

Good cold beer
like this right here,

good company like you.

You know...

folks that come
to a place like this,

they, uh...

they deserve bigger, yeah.

Folks that come
to a place like this,

they‐‐they deserve freedom.

Yeah, good people
like yourselves here...

they deserve a Bang‐A‐Rang.

How do you get your hair
so smooth and gummy like that?



Now these,
these are the spine tremblers.

Space Time Sally
and Rocket Horn.

They're a duo,
one hell of a duo.

They likes the horn.

They find their best expression
in little jazzy numbers.

Where's the rocket?

The one who got away.

Snare drums, bass, power.

She will leave you with a
powerful sense of abandonment.

But have you
coming back for more.

The Bang‐A‐Rang, gentlemen,
is an escape.

It is a goddamned haven.

Anything you need.

You need a drink?

Welcome to the Bang‐A‐Rang.

You need a fight?
We got a fight pit.

welcome to the Bang‐A‐Rang.

You want a show?

Boy, buddy,
do I have something for you.

Welcome to the fucking
Bang‐A‐Rang!

What about that one?

Huh?

In your pocket.

Who's that?

Oh, uh, this, um...

it's Katherine, uh...

K‐Katherine Harlow.

She's not around much anymore.

Um...

But when she was...

Those were special times.

She was the original siren
of the Bang‐A‐Rang.

She paved the way
for all the others.

Well, what happened to her?

What you boys gotta do,

you gotta make your way
down to Bopa's.

Mm‐hmm.

Bopa's?

Get a haircut.

Then ask for a ticket.

And, uh...
what's the organization

you say you work for?

It's more of an enterprise,
really.

It's a private organization.

Well...

is this something you think
they'd be interested in?

Owen, my friend, I appreciate
you showing me around, but...

this is more work than
we're looking to take on.

Oh.

Say, you got any good steak
recommendations around here?

- This is for you.
- Thank you.

Uh, excuse me.

Yes?

May I help you?

I‐‐you just...

Uh, nothing.

Um, you just, uh...

you look familiar.

Have we met?

No.

Not officially, but, uh...

You used to go by Katherine,
right?

I'm afraid not.

You sure?

Hope you have a wonderful
afternoon, sir.

You mean to tell me...

that that is not you?

You're not Katherine Harlow?

So you're a Brawler?

They never, um...

No.

I used to, um,
used to help spread the word.

Like guerilla marketing.

Yeah, back in the early days,
and uh...

Now I'm‐‐I'm just a scout.

Yeah, I drive around,

look for old properties that
they might want to convert.

How'd you find me?

I‐‐

You okay?

In a million years...

I never thought anyone
from that world

would walk through those doors.

And now I understand why.

My, uh..

my husband and I, we uh...

We just got some news.

Recently.

And it, uh...

well, it...

put some things in perspective.

Was wondering, Witt...

If I might ask
for a favor from you.

There was something
that I was hoping

you could retrieve for me.

Witt...

I'd like to discuss with you
how we might move forward.

You know?

From here.

What is that?

Betty's phone.

Been awhile.

Yeah?

Are you sure it was her?

When I say
it was Katherine, Joel,

does that make you
uncomfortable?

Said they had a mask on.

And you said
she just disappeared.

Ask you something, Burt.

Why did you all
do it like that?

Why not just shoot her?

Was it the thought of it, huh?

The idea behind
what you could make her feel?

She deserved better
than a gunshot.

Kill some Brawlers,
that adds up.

But rob the vault?

I don't get it.

Kept lots of money in here
when Katherine was around.

Maybe she was looking for
an added bonus, I don't know.

I'll let you two figure it out.

Holy fuckin' shit.

We should've been here.

It wouldn't have
made a difference.

Had every one of us after 'em.

They still got away.

We're gonna find her.

When we're on the river,

we're gonna find her.
I mean, she can't be far‐‐

You're gonna
lay low, Matty.

You're gonna lay low right here
is what you're gonna do.

We didn't call you back
for a task.

You just gotta stay off
the river for a few extra days

until all this is sorted out.

All right, now,
don't go looking for trouble.

I'm telling you,
now is not the time.

Johnson,
you believe this?

Yes, I do.

What if it's been her
this whole time?

What?

Katherine Harlow

coming back to finish
what she started,

coming back to start a war.

Matty.

Yeah, yeah,
Bru already told us‐‐

Need your help
with something.

Come on.

You need us, too, Joel?

I'm proud of you girls.

All of you.

Because that's what we mean

when we say
we protect our home.

Queenie.

What's going on?

What's going on?

You were there.

No.

Something is wrong.

I can tell.

You know...

if you ever do
leave this place...

I want you
to remember something.

The past doesn't ever stop.

And you
and the other one.

Doris, yes.

You set out
to frame Lander Graham

so you could
take the restaurant

which was so rightfully his.

Yes.

And was this your idea...

Molly?

Or was it Doris's?

It was Doris.

Sorry.

I tried to numb everything
with some...

We‐‐we didn't have any
numbing agents, so...

Nothing.

I'm on my way out?

Oh...

Goodness, no.

I have to be honest,
I wasn't so sure at first.

Ain't the first time
I've been stabbed.

I'm sure.

The 37th was primarily
stab wounds.

Just a big ol' stab fest.

I guess when you
run out of ammo,

that's what bayonets are for.

Were you scared last night?

Yeah, sure.

Were you?

I guess it was more...

Where do I go from here?

Fuck you mean?
You're here.

No, I...

I killed five men in that club.

Think it was six.

It was five.

So what you mean?
Like, go home?

No.

I don't feel like there is
any going home at this point.

- You like movies?
- Sure.

Ever see
"Blood of the Heart?"

What's that about?

The battle of the 37th.

Did it‐‐

No.

Ain't nothing capture
what the 37th was like.

Just that
the shit that change you,

ain't no coming back from that.

You are what you are
because, admit it or not,

this is who
you wanted to become.

Your boy fucked up.

I'm not sure
I would agree with that.

Oh, you're not sure
you agree with that?

Because I think‐‐
- It wasn't his fault.

It was mine.

I just...

I assumed.

Used to carry a lot of money
in those vaults, and...

just‐‐I never thought that they
would switch up their routine.

So if the money's
not in the vault,

then where is it?

I don't know.

And if this vault
was empty...

Means...

The other ones
probably are too.

There you go.

Dottie...

You're gonna leave.

I almost got killed
100 times last night.

Cordell?

My man is lucky
to be breathing.

All for nothing.

If it's any consolation‐‐

It ain't.

Whatever you're gonna say...

it ain't.

Listen, I think that
you went about this all wrong.

I think that
you didn't need a crew.

You knew how to get in there,
you knew how to get out.

I think that...

you were just scared.

Mm‐hmm.

Yeah, shit ain't easy
to admit to, right?

But you were,
you were scared.

And you don't gotta
own up to it,

but it just is what it is.

You don't need us, Dottie.

Look at me.

You just need...

To work your shit out.

And move on.

Found that
in the old caution room.

Okay.

Could've never
got through the doors.

Yet here it is.

A bag.

It had guns in it.

It ain't always gotta
be so simple, Bru, okay?

Think about it.

How else would they have
gotten them in here?

We don't let bar patrons
in the back now.

We're pretty good about that.

Unless someone helped them.

That's your family
you're talking about.

Is it, though?

Okay.

- Hey, I'm just trying‐‐
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

What you're saying makes sense.

Just hard.
'Cause, you know...

Don't none of us
really like you, Avron.

You guys left
the fucking bag?

What's that, sweet pea?

Of guns.

You left it here
and now they know.

Know what?

That there's a fucking
guy on the inside, Doris.

Fuck!

I have to be done with you.

This whole thing...

it's over.

This isn't, uh,

the first thing you'd like
to hear, but...

I have an idea.

If you'll just, well...

hear it...

out.

Thought you'd come alone.

Well...

it didn't feel like
the smartest move.

Not always about numbers.

Your guys made a move
on Burt's daughter.

The hell were you thinking?

Does that really matter now?

Yeah, Konstantinov
was a problem,

but we had an agreement.

And I thought you broke that.

- We didn't.
- I know.

We were set up, Jukes...

manipulated.

By whom?

The past.

The point is...

we can end this right now.

You asked me
to get him under control.

- And you didn't.
- You didn't give me a chance.

And then you up and killed
Konstantinov.

So now it's starting
to feel like

there's only one way
this can go.

Imagine it were one of yours.

That I just...

well, you know what you did...

and you know why.

Embrace the war, old friend.

It'll all be over soon enough.

What should we do?

Well...

I haven't been drunk
in a long time.

What?

Jesus fuck!

Uh, all right, well...

this is your chance, kid.

Get the hell out of here
right now.

Go someplace and lay low
for a while, do something.

Because if they find out
that it was you...

You understand that
it's my ass, too, right?

Leaving was what you wanted,
isn't it?

Well, fuck me.

You're in, ain't ya?

Well, god damn it,
I guess it's my fault.

I mean, I told you to adjust.

You‐‐you fuckin' adjusted.

It's not just that, it's‐‐

What?

It's what?

Camaraderie?

Are you one with them now?

I was fuckin' wrong.

There hadn't been a war
in a long time and now...

now there's a fuckin' war,
and I'm telling you,

you do not wanna
be around here for it.

Neither of us sure as hell
want to be around

if they figure out
that we helped start it.

I think it's ugly.

I like ugly.

You hear it was her?

I heard something about that.

Did you know her?

When I was a girl, sure.

I was very young, though.

I was just gonna say,
if you needed anything...

That's very sweet.

Whatever business
my aunt has with my father,

or for that matter...

any of the clowns here...

that's for them to figure out.

Your boyfriend's back.

You boys missed
a hell of a party.

Hey, you wanna
get out of here tonight?

And go where?

Somewhere fun.

Fun sounds fun.

Never seen you
drink like this.

And I see you drink like this
too often.

Haven't been out here
in a long time.

Used to look forward to it.

Rig up shitbox
little motor cars.

Race 'em around.

Some would win,
some would lose.

In the end...

we'd all fight.

Drunk idiots.

Don't do what we used to.

All about money now.

Protecting it.

No, it's not.

My parents were good people,
but they didn't...

they didn't know
what to tell me.

They didn't know
how to tell me...

what was the right way.

They lacked vision.

Fucking vision.

Didn't have it... you know?

So I did well in school,

and then I heard about
the Brawlers.

And that's when I knew...

That's when I knew
where I belonged.

That's when I knew
where to find that vision.

Well...

being a Brawler, Matty...

Makes you do horrible things.

Right here,
at this track...

I fell for something
that didn't exist.

You might feel okay with it...

in the moment.

But then the years go by.

And the real consequences...

All the fucking bullshit
you've done?

Well...

There they are.

Katherine Harlow...

She's come back for revenge.

And I don't blame her.

Her revenge?

Don't answer it.

No good news is coming
this time of night.

Strange thing, this life.

I gotta say.

What was the name
of that bar that, uh...

they sent me
to look for you in?

She wasn't a threat to us.

She was just
looking out for us.

But you...

you told us that
all these others...

that all of them
wanted to devour us.

"Devour."

That's...

colorful language.

When, really,
they just wanted their own.

They didn't want trouble.

You...

You wanted the trouble.

And I followed that want.

I believed in all the...

in all the bullshit you'd spew.

Lost souls building a family...

redefining ourselves...

all of it.

About...

Shit.

What's belief?

Because, see,
the one person...

I remotely cared about...

The one person
on this fucking planet...

I let you kill her.

I let you kill her...

Because I believed.

And yet,
you still sit here.

You still believe, Bash.

No.

I don't, actually.

She killed Percy.

She killed him because she knew
what it would do to me.

She knew no matter what...

she knew I could
never forgive her for it.

She knew I'd want to kill her.

So yeah...

I sit here.

Popcorn?

Yeah.

You haven't stopped moving
since we sat down.

Did you forget your breathing?

You seem all right.

As opposed to what?

Just‐‐everything last night,
Ghouls last week,

had your own breakdown.

Just tons to deal with.

The Ghouls were different.

I was alone, outnumbered.

But last night...

Last night I was home.

She's your aunt.

From what
I've always been told.

You ever find out
what happened to her?

A lot of rumors
over the years.

Lot of different versions
of one story.

You never really
knew your mother.

It's why you've really
wanted to leave, isn't it?

Excuse me?

I don't‐‐
I didn't hear it anywhere.

It's just...

call it instinct, I guess.

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

I knew mine, though.

My mother.

And I'll tell you,
she wasn't a great person.

Put me through a hell of a lot.

And once you...

Once you asked me
what brought me here.

And honestly,
I didn't really have an answer.

But now...

Shit, now?

Feels like
the only place I belong.

Dollface...

I knew you belonged here from
the minute I laid eyes on you.

I'm gonna go to the restroom.

I haven't been to a puppet
show since I was a kid.

What the fuck
are you doing here?

Yeah, I know.
Weird, ain't it?

To be honest, I was looking
for that a big‐ass Cadillac,

and then I got lucky

when I saw you and lil' mama
pull up in that rust bucket.

Anyway, we gotta talk.

- I'm here with someone.
- I'm sure she'll understand.

- No, you don't‐‐
- Ethan.

The vault was empty,
so we need you for plan B.

You gotta come with me,

and there really ain't
no discussion about it.

You feel me?

Let's go.

Move.

Shit.

Hello, Pumpkin.

What the fuck
is wrong with you?

I was in a public
fucking place, Doris.

Uh‐oh.

Well...

I needed to speak with you,
and it couldn't wait.

I'm done.

With all of this.

Yes, you are done.

That's what I
wanted to tell you.

What?

I‐‐I just have
one more call to make

to one of Thomas's
lawyer friends,

and then all of this is over,

and you can go off
back to Detroit or‐‐

or wherever you fancy.

Just‐‐just like that?

Just like that.

Where's your phone?

What?

Your phone.

Outside.

Don't answer it.

No good news is coming
this time of night.

Matty, you fucker,
you fucker.

Excuse me.

Give me the key to room 126.

Did you know
the vault was empty, Ethan?

No, I told you
I've never seen the vault.

If I were you,
I'd‐‐I'd leave tonight.

I'd leave tonight
before shit just‐‐

She was dangerous, right?
