Revenge (2011–2015): Season 4, Episode 5 - Repercussions - full transcript

Previously on Revenge...

I want to make you a lot of money,
Louise. Trust me.

Margaux: Your mother
came to see me last night.

- What did she want?
- A loan.

Now she owes me.

Ben: Did you get a look
at his face?

I could barely make out anything

before he jumped off the balcony.

Alvarez: It is true
that David Clarke is alive.

Em.

Ben: Are you ready
to make an I.D.?



No.

Conrad Grayson faked my death,
and then he locked me away.

We ask for privacy so that
David can be with his family.

She got to him first.

You were right.

They're not gonna leave me alone.

Which is why I didn't
want you to come here.

I needed to see it for myself.

I'm not fighting with you, David.

I'm simply concerned for you.

Still edgy after the FBI debriefings.

It wasn't easy
going over the past 10 years.

I'm so sorry you had to endure that.

I'm grateful that you...



That you were in D.C. with me
this week...

...and for confirming
what I said.

Reporter:
They're on the move.

No one will ever know
what happened to Conrad.

I promise, David.

Can you imagine the headlines
if they did?

And we thought we'd create a scandal
running away together. Remember?

Seems like a lifetime ago.

Yes, it does.

I used to think about
that day on the beach.

It helped keep me sane when I was
about to break.

I used to imagine our life
if we had gotten away.

This time, we will.

I promise.

Hey. Emily.

Those may be fists of fury,

but they're still
made of flesh and bone.

Go easy.

Five days, I've been forced
to watch my father on TV

while Victoria hasn't left his side.

Yeah, and it's not your fault
that she got to him first.

Is that supposed to
make me feel better?

I know how fragile a person's mind is

after enduring that kind of torture.

It's exactly the kind of leverage

Victoria needs to manipulate him.

And...
They just got back from D.C.

She took him to Amanda's grave?

Ems...

Look at what she's doing, Nolan!

We have to get him away from her.

Yeah, I know, and it pisses me off, too.

He was like a father to me.

He is my father.

And he clearly doesn't know that,

which means she hasn't told him.

I mean, we don't know what angle
Victoria is playing yet.

I'll take the risk.

The last time you were in a room
with your father,

he tried to kill you.

He wasn't coming for me, Nolan.

He was probably looking for Conrad.

Probably.

But it still proves that he is
not the man that he once was.

Emily, what if it's worse
than we think?

What if Conrad did break him?

Reporter:
Jack, any word from David?

Have you talked
to your father-in-law yet?

Guys, stay on the sidewalk.
I got a kid inside.

When is David gonna meet his grandson?

Are you afraid he's upset with you

for not protecting Amanda?

Do you think he blames you
for the death of his daughter?

Get the hell off my property now!

Now! Both of you!

Victoria, it's Margaux again.

I understand you do not wish
to speak with the media,

but we are family,
so please... trust me.

Call me back.

You won't hear from her.

She's gonna keep working
this three-ring circus

like P.T. Barnum
in stilettos.

While I watch from the stands
along with everyone else...

Despite the fact that she owes me

and, not to mention, our connection.

Yeah, a connection no one knows about.

Take my advice...
Keep it that way.

Why?

What happened with David
was Conrad's crime, not yours.

To the public,
we Graysons are all the same.

Why do you think I haven't been able

to land a client,
other than Louise Ellis?

I can help you, Daniel.

Tell your side,
change people's opinions.

No, no, no.
No press.

I have to do this my way.

Listen, when I was with Emily,

we lived in the headlines,
and that was a mistake.

The less people know about you,

the more control you have
over your own life.

Is that why you're so secretive
about this Louise girl?

Yeah.
I can't afford to blow this.

She's that valuable?

I'm still counting the zeros
in her portfolio.

And by some miracle, she chose
me to handle her account.

And I just got to prove
that she didn't make a mistake.

Then you know what you must do...

Keep her happy.

David!

Reporter: Someone just tried
to run over David Clarke.

- Do they know who did this?
- No. No.

They found the car three blocks away.

It was stolen.
It's a dead end.

They've offered me police protection

until they catch the guy.

David, we must get you to safety.

Now, I've already talked
to a friend of mine

who has an estate in Maryland...

- No, I'm not going anywhere.
- ...and they're willing to allow us to use it, David.

Why would you stay here?
It's not safe.

All these stories I hear
about Amanda...

Nothing really makes sense.

I'd gone to her grave today
hoping for some closure,

and it just raised more questions.

I fear you won't like the answers.

I don't care.

I am gonna find out
what really happened to my girl.

Emily: Victoria was behind this.
I'm sure of it.

She's terrified that my father
will learn the truth about her,

so she put a police line between us.

Well, it definitely sounds like
her shade of bitch.

Which is why
you have to be extra-careful,

because now the hotel
is crawling with cops and press.

You think that's gonna stop me?

You know what?

Maybe if Aiden were here,
he could make you see it.

But he's not,
so you have to listen to me.

Victoria's gunning for you,

and she's thought all of this through

with the same precision you usually do.

So before you make a mistake,
slow down.

I can't, okay?

Don't you understand, Nolan?

I never went to see him in prison.

All of these years,
he believed that his daughter hated him,

and I've lived with that guilt
every single day.

Now I have the chance to make it right,

to let him know that
his daughter still loves him,

so please, stop fighting me.

Of course.

Of course, kiddo.

I'm sorry.

It's just...

Vicky's done a hell of a job
Clarke-blocking us.

Only family can get through, and...
You don't qualify.

At least, not yet.

Porter. Go home.

But I'm on the roster.

This is about David Clarke, isn't it?

Tough to do your job
when reporters are tailing you.

I need you to sit this one out...
Just till it blows over.

Yeah. Sure, Chief.

I saw you got ambushed this morning.

You all right?

I'm dying to get out there today.

Can't stand sitting around,
feeling useless.

Imagine all this has got to bring up

some pretty heavy stuff for you, yeah?

It's always there
in the back of my mind,

but now every jerk with a
microphone's asking me about it.

"What happened to your brother,
to Amanda?"

How did you make it through all that?

I almost didn't.

For a while,
I thought that God had it out for me.

Turns out, it wasn't God at all...

Just a man who thought he was,

not giving a damn
about who he hurt or who died.

Son of a bitch got what he deserved.

Well, the world seems to agree with you,
but still...

I mean, a case that high-profile
just gathering dust?

It's a little weird, don't you think?

Well, maybe it's 'cause people
can see it for what it is...

Justice.

Ah! Danny!
You made it!

Is this your first business
meeting in a dress shop?

Pretty... Pretty sure it is, yeah.

Although, next time,

you might want to choose
someplace more private.

My family is still the top story.

They don't bother me.

I'm from the South, dear.

If they're not gossipin' about you,

you might as well be dead.

Maybe I like to maintain
a little mystery about myself.

Well, I'm still trying
to figure you out,

so mission accomplished.

Which part are you trying
to figure out, exactly?

Well, you and your mama, for starters.

Why the feud?

Oh, there's no mystery.
She's a control freak.

I got tired of her injecting herself
into every aspect of my life.

Hmm.
Even your love life?

Especially that.

You want my mom's attention, date me.

Noted.

Too much?

Or "hot damn"?

Definitely "hot damn."

So, tell me, Danny,

am I wasting all
my top-notch flirting on you?

Is there a... prim New York girl
waiting at home?

No.

No, there's not.

- Of course you'd be here.
- I need your help.

Why would I ever help you?

Our problems are not the issue right now.
Our father is.

Please...
I need to see him alone.

Why don't you just scale the building,
knock down the door?

I doubt a little
police barricade can stop you.

I would do that, but that's not exactly

how I want to reunite with our father.

Oh, I get it.

So you want me to pave the way
for your triumphant return.

I think I'll pass.

Are you sure you want to side
with your mother on this?

Who do you think
was behind the attack today?

No. She loves David.
She would never hurt him.

Charlotte, you and I both know
that your mother would do

whatever it takes
to get what she wants,

including putting
our father's life at risk.

She is manipulating him.

God, Charlotte,

she took him to what was
supposed to be my grave.

Do you know how painful
that must have been for him?

We have to stop her.

Please.
I just want to tell him the truth.

Mother, you need to tell me the truth.

Were you behind the attack on David?

How could you think
I would do such a thing?

I do not threaten the people
I love to get what I want.

You are so blind, you can't
even see you're using him.

You took him to that grave?!
What's wrong with you?!

Your father demanded to go there
against my wishes.

Do you think I enjoy
watching him suffer?

Then why not just tell him the truth?

That's all Emily wants to do.

Ah.
Emily. Well.

She is manipulating you, Charlotte.

That is what she does...
She lies.

And when that doesn't work,

she resorts to violence and fear.

If she'd only told me the truth
when she first arrived,

the girl in that grave
would be alive today,

and so would Declan.

Officer: All right, Mr. Clarke.
I'll be right outside.

- Charlotte.
- Oh. Dad.

It's all right.
It's all right.

Charlotte, what is it?

If there's, uh,
something you need to tell me, you can.

Actually, Dad,
there's someone you need to meet.

I became a cop
to get control of my life.

And now I can feel it all
slipping away again,

and I hate that it's...

Man, I'm sorry I'm going on like this.

You're not the only McMurphy
in this cuckoo's nest.

I mean, David was the father
that I always wanted.

When I thought he was killed,
I fell apart.

But now he's back,
and there is a part of me

that just... wants to go to him.

Well, every part of me

wants to stay as far away
from him as possible.

'Cause of Carl?

David thinks that my son
is his grandchild.

What would I even say to him?

I can't imagine lying
about something like that.

Personally,
I'm glad the truth's finally coming out.

I wish I felt the same.

What do you mean?

Emily has been so focused
on getting to David

that she's not thinking through
all the variables.

Well, can you blame her?
It's her father.

Jack, I know.

But...
I'm afraid she's rushing

to meet a man
that doesn't exist anymore.

And I don't know
what that's gonna do to her.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Are you selling access to David Clarke?

Maybe sneak in a camera,
get some stolen footage?

- Um, I'm sorry. I didn't...
- Get out of here.

I expect better from you.

What? You truly believe others out
there are not doing the same?

And that makes it right?

It makes it reality.

You know, some of us have a job to do.

That's why I'm here, but why are you?

I am fighting for Amanda Clarke.

She wanted her father's name cleared

and her enemies brought to
justice, but what she didn't want

was for him to be used
by people like you.

You should learn
to govern your emotions, Emily.

This is such
an unflattering color on you.

People think
the secret's in the copper mug.

It's actually the extra vodka.

To...
Getting what you want.

I'll drink to that, neighbor.

Mm.
Temporary neighbor.

I'm having my yacht brought up
from Hilton Head.

A hotel's not an appropriate
place to call home.

You calling me inappropriate?

Well, I don't know.

But it does reveal
quite a bit about you.

I mean, look around, Danny.

No personal items.

Nothing to remind you of your
family or where you come from.

You are a man in search of an identity.

And you clearly
haven't settled on one yet.

You're unlike anyone I've ever met.

Well, multiple rounds
of electroshock therapy

will do that to a girl.

I just haven't figured you out yet,
either.

Now, which part are you trying to figure out,
exactly?

Is something the matter?

Because...
Unless I'm sorely mistaken,

you're just as attracted to me
as I am to you.

So, tell me, Daniel Grayson...

What do you want?

Jack.

I thought it was time

David was finally reunited
with his son-in-law.

Hello, Jack.

Hey.

Uh, come in.

Charlotte said you would be joining me.

Do come in.
We have so much to discuss.

Where the hell is my father?

And what exactly is your plan
once you do find him, Emily?

You know damn well,

which is why you're so desperate
to turn him against me.

Hmm.

I will not destroy
the memory of his child.

You may have that honor...
If you truly are that cruel.

You want to talk "cruel," Victoria?

How about ripping a child
away from her father

or bribing a doctor

into poisoning every good memory
she ever had of him?

That is the truth
that you're running from.

- Now tell me where my father is.
- Or you'll what?

Come after my children again?

Or am I to be the next victim
in your growing body count?

Oh, that, I could live with.

But could your father?

Have you ever considered
what will happen

when you tell him about all your lies

or the death you caused
in his name, hmm?

I wonder what he'll feel.

Guilt?

Shame?

Your plan was perfect, Emily,
save for one detail...

Your father is alive.

And now you must live with the
repercussions of what you've done.

And so will you.

I'll make sure of it.

Then tell him.

Or stay hidden
in this pathetic identity.

Either way,
it will be tremendous fun to watch.

You can show yourself out.

You know what I see?

Is just a frightened woman
about to lose the last person

she could ever trick into
loving her to his daughter.

David, it's...
Really great to see you again,

but I'm afraid
we were just on our way out.

Carl has a checkup.

You can't.
David has to meet his grandson.

Of course.

Hey.

Hey there, big man.

I'm your grandpa.

It's the first time
I've ever said that.

He has her eyes, don't you think?

It's hard for me to remember.

I'll get the wedding album.

There's some great closeup shots of Amanda.
You'll see it.

It's a nice home you've made
for yourself here, Jack.

Charlotte: I just wish Amanda
could have seen this place.

She always wanted a house like this.

Oh.

Where did you two live?

Down on the waterfront.

Remember The Stowaway?

The... The bar?

They lived above it.

It was nicer than it sounds...
Small, but cozy.

Here's Amanda.

Oh, yeah.

He does have her eyes.

I'm sorry, guys.

I really need to get Carl
to this doctor's apartment.

Yeah, of course.
Jack, thank you so much.

You know, it's clear to me

that you've grown up
to be an honorable man.

Yeah, Jack's one of the good guys.

I could get in a lot of trouble

if someone finds out I gave you this.

You don't have clearance, Ben.
It's a federal case.

Yeah... One they aren't
any closer to solving, either.

Figure,
why not take a shot at it myself?

And make detective, right?
That mean you got a lead?

I got a suspect with motive.

David.

I want to... talk to you.

Of course.
Come in. Come in.

No... police?

No, they're waiting outside.
I wanted some privacy.

Right.

Well, I... I knew you'd have,
uh, questions about Amanda.

Did you give her the money
or the box that I made her?

Did she ever get the journals?

I gave her everything
the day she got out...

Everything that you asked.

Then why was she living above a bar?

Because...

I know.

You're hearing a lot of crazy
things about Amanda right now...

Some of them from people
you may even think you trust.

I hope you won't
take their word as fact.

I hope that you will trust

what you know in your heart to be true.

But that's the problem, Nolan.

See, the more I hear,

the harder it is for me
to remember my little girl.

She's slipping away from me.

And that scares the hell out of me.

Figured you'd be here.

Guess it was a bad day all around.

I went to see my father,

and Victoria
was waiting for me instead.

I'm not thinking this through properly.

Nolan was right.
He warned me not to go.

I doubt there's a person alive
who could have stopped you.

Well, you're probably right.

Jack, do you think
my father's gonna hate me

for everything I've done?

Stop it.

That's just Victoria
getting inside your head.

No, it's not.

You need to have faith in him, Emily.

Trust me...
A father never stops loving their child.

People died in his name.

My father never would have wanted that.

Yes, but they started it.

You did what you had to do
to stop them.

No one knows that better than me.

Because you were there.

But how am I gonna get him
to understand

if I can't even get to him?

Victoria can twist the truth...
All of it.

No. She can't.

I know, 'cause I was just with David.

- What?
- Yes. He's afraid...

Mainly of losing touch
with the memory of you, Emily.

And the good news is, he hasn't
given up on his daughter.

There is still a chance
that you can connect with him.

You need to get David away from her.

I need to bring my father

back to a time
that Victoria can't touch...

When it was just the two of us
in this house.

My father needs Amanda Clarke.

If you've come here to do battle,

I must warn you...
I have an 11:30,

so please be concise.

I am not here to argue.

In fact,
I came to apologize for yesterday.

I don't always think clearly
when it comes to Amanda.

Then let me assure you...

I have no interest
in exploiting her father.

I know.

You're a good person, Margaux.

That became clear to me
when you cut ties with Daniel.

So, what brings you by, Emily?

I want to do something for David...

Something that I believe
will aid in his recovery

and might also give you

a way around Victoria's media blackout.

Forgive me, but how would that work?

- You and Victoria seem to have...
- A strained relationship?

That's a nice way of putting it.

Well, see, that's where you come in.

Obviously, Victoria would never
accept a gesture from me,

so it's vital that my name
be kept out of the story...

That is,
if you're willing to take full credit.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

Want a drink?

What the hell do you think
you were pulling yesterday?

Wow.
You are not a very good cop.

Terrible deductive reasoning.

So this is all just some sick joke

to you and your mother...
Is that it?

No. She had nothing to do
with my visit.

What if I'd told David the truth?

And expose Emily?
Not a chance.

You're a coward, Jack...
A joke.

We're done here.

You know, I came here thinking

you were just some kid
pretending to be her mother.

You're not Victoria.
You're worse.

You're Conrad.

I'm nothing like him.

You're doing exactly what he did.

You are torturing David.
And for what?

Some pathetic power trip over me?

He's your father, Charlotte.

No wonder you have to hide
behind all that crap.

How else could you live with yourself?

Ben: You worked
the Grayson kidnapping, right?

Yeah. I was there
when Porter got arrested.

- Why you asking?
- Well, he's my partner.

Just want to know
what kind of man he is.

And you were there for the questioning?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Reyes grilled him for hours.

She was sure he was guilty.

She figured Porter planned it all...

You know, grabbed the girl,

planted the camera on her,
took Grayson down.

- I never bought it.
- Why not?

I mean, Grayson killed
his wife and his brother.

Whoever pulled that off
wasn't the owner of some dive bar.

An operation like that takes money.

So you never looked at Porter
for the murder, huh?

He was in with Reyes and me
when Grayson got whacked.

Best alibi a guy could have.

Right.

Daniel? Are you here?

Hey.

You haven't been returning
any of my calls.

I'm working.

Well, I may have something

that can help you
even more than Louise Ellis.

Margaux, I don't ask about your work,
so stay out of mine.

Don't push me away...
Not this time.

You may not see it yet,

but I know we're better together
than apart.

I would have never been able
to take on Gideon without you.

And now I have found a way

to put your father's scandal
behind you...

Forever.

But you have to trust me.

Whatever you got to do,
just do it without me.

Daniel, this isn't charity.

It's simply good business...

For both of us.

Where are the police?

I sent them away.
I don't want them anymore.

They still haven't found
the driver of that car, David.

It's too dangerous.

I was a prisoner for 20 years.

I won't live like one anymore.

David.

David, trust me when I tell you
that you need their protection.

Not everybody here has
your best interests at heart.

Y... You're not
the first person

to say something like that to me.

And it's, uh...
Making me wonder

who I can trust and who I shouldn't.

Something is not right here.

Mr. Clarke.

Daniel?
God, look at you.

Daniel,
this isn't a good time right now.

Listen, I'm, uh...

Sorry to stop by unannounced.

I just needed to come here today

to personally apologize
for what was done to you.

You weren't responsible.

No, still,
what my father did defies words,

and reparations need to be made.

That's the deed to your beach house.

Consider it my gift to you.

What are you doing?

Atoning for my father's sins.

David,
I've already lined up a place for us.

This was my home.

This...
This is what I want.

Emily would never sell to you.

Now, how did you get the deed
to this house?

She didn't know I was involved.

I refuse to allow you to use David.

See, I thought you might say that,

so I took a few precautions.

Cat's out of the bag now.

Just smile for the cameras.

Don't want to cause a scene, do you?

David.
Hey, this is Margaux LeMarchal.

- She heads up...
- LeMarchal Media.

Yes, I... I know who she is.

Uh... Do you mind
explaining the cameras?

Well, Daniel thought
we could contain the gossip

if someone he trusted
covered this story.

Let's just go outside.

No, it won't take long.

David, are you comfortable with this?

I am.

Margaux:
Just stick to the questions.

Then I'm happy for you.

This is your home.

You got your father away from Victoria.

Although Daniel and Margaux
is a twist I didn't see coming.

Now I know Margaux isn't truly an ally.

She really is her father's daughter.

Oh, shacking up with the son of Kong-rad,
no less.

So, what do we call them?

Maniel?

Mm. Dangaux?

Trouble.

That parlor trick you pulled
with Daniel tonight

disappointed me, Margaux.

Oh, I'm sorry you feel that way.

I will not allow you
to use David like that again.

Well, then, perhaps we should
come to an arrangement...

One with less opportunity
for surprises.

Give me exclusive rights
to David's story.

Consider it repayment of your debt.

I can't speak for David, Margaux.

You know better than that.

But I may be able to facilitate
such an arrangement

provided you give us
final approval on all stories.

I cannot do that.

Well, that's unfortunate.

As you know,
your competitors have approached me.

Who knows what one
of the more tenacious reporters

might uncover
in their own investigation...

Maybe even your family's
connection to the scandal.

And lacking any personal
relationship with them,

I may be powerless to stop it.

You would never allow anyone

to tarnish the memory of your Pascal.

Perhaps you're right.

Do feel free to call my bluff.

Victoria.

We have a deal.

Oh, no, no.
It's the least that I could do.

I mean, poor guy has really suffered.

Well, yeah, I'd love to meet tomorrow.

Keith, let me call you back.

Saw you on TV with that LeMarchal girl.

You two looked cozy.

So I asked around,
and the concierge says

she's been sneaking up here for days.

You lied to me, Daniel.

You're right.

I did lie to you.

And to myself.

You were right about me, Louise.

I've been trying
to figure out who I am.

And for a minute, I thought I could be

the guy I was with you yesterday,
but...

Today, I was reminded
that I'm part of a team,

and we're damn good together.

And what does that mean for me?

Well, you hired me to
protect you and your interests,

so that's what I plan on doing
from now on.

Unless you're not comfortable with me,

and if that's the case,
then we'll go our separate ways.

It's your call.

Why would I go with anyone but you?

Fantastic.

Listen, we are gonna make
a ton of money together, Louise.

Tomorrow, you and I start over.

We keep things strictly professional.

And trust me...
I'm doing you a favor.

I mean, you really don't want
to be a part of my family.

Yes, hello.

Please connect me to Page Six.

I have a story about Daniel Grayson.

Did you think you could pull that file

without my finding out?

You're a beat cop, Hunter.

You got no business kicking that nest.

Yeah, well, someone should, Chief.

Come on...
Conrad Grayson gets killed

days after being exposed
for masterminding Flight 197,

and the case is still open?

So...
You close it?

No.
My suspect has an alibi.

I get you're hungry, Ben.
I really do.

And someday, you'll make detective,

but it will not be on this case.

Now...
Hand over the file.

Trust me...

Nothing good comes from this.

- Daddy!
- You're making a mistake!

Let go of her!
Leave her alone!

To your father's return home.

So, when are you gonna tell him?

When he's ready.

Why wait?

I thought that was the whole
point of getting him next door.

This isn't about me, Nolan.
It's about helping him.

After what he's been through,
my father needs time to recover.

I want to win him back honestly...
With the truth.

And when he's ready,
I'll make sure that he knows that...

I'm still here.

Everybody's talkin' at me.

I don't hear
a word they're sayin'.

We used to dance to this.

Only the echoes of my mind.

It was his favorite.

People stoppin', starin'.

I can't see their faces,

only the shadows
of their eyes.

I'm goin'
where the sun keeps shinin'.

Are you ready?

Through the pourin' rain.

Goin' where the weather
suits my clothes.

Nolan: How did she get this song
to play on cue?

Remote control?
Motion sensor?

Sailin' on a summer breeze.

She didn't need any of that.

And skippin' over the ocean.

She just had to get him back home.

Like a stone.

Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

What did you say your name was, again?

Oh, never mind.
It doesn't matter.

You're going pretty hard tonight.

I don't want to think anything.
I don't want to feel anything.

Well, in that case,

I got just what you need
back at my place.

Then, what are we still doing here?

Never thought I'd be going home
with Charlotte Grayson.

David:
I have come to learn...

It's "Clarke."

...that evil takes
many forms...

My mistake.

...including those that we
think we can trust the most.

The anger this bred almost cost me

the thing that I valued
above all else...

My memories of you,

the daughter I still love
infinity times infinity.

But now I can feel you again,

which is why I know what I must do,

for you were wronged, as I was,

and by someone I trusted.

There must be repercussions.

And I swear to you, Amanda...

I will have revenge.
