Search Party (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Woman Who Knew Too Much - full transcript

Chantal?

Chantal?!

I'll save you 400 pages.

She dies at the end.

Dory, she's dead. They found a blouse in the woods

soaked in her own blood.

No, I know that.

But I saw her after the blouse was found.

So she's alive!

Dory, maybe it's possible you just saw someone

that really, really looked like her.



Yeah, like the time I thought that roller coaster operator

was Matt Damon.

I know how you feel,'cause I felt so stupid.

That's not what this is,okay?

I know I saw her.

Now, you guys, you just have to believe me on this one.

I'm telling you the truth. Okay, but don't you think it's kind of crazy

that the moment you become obsessed with this girl,

you just magically run into her?

I'm not obsessed.
And I'm not crazy.

I didn't say you were crazy,
Dory.
Well, it was implied.

Okay, yeah, why don't we
just use our inside voices?
Okay.

Dory, no one
thinks you're crazy.

I think what El is just
really trying to say is...



you saw her.

Okay, sure, sounds good.

You know what?

I mean, you don't
have to believe me.

Fine. I mean, the only people
who have to believe me

are the police.
Dory, I just said
I believe you.

I know what I saw.

I know what I saw. And you guys
weren't there, so...

You know, you're absolutely
right. I was not there.

I haven't been to Flushing
since that guy on Craigslist

paid me
to throw candy at him.

Mm. Flushing.

I thought that you said
you were in Chinatown.

No, I said I was at
a Chinese restaurant.

Yeah,
Chinese restaurant, cool.

In Flushing.

In Flushing.
In Flushing.

Thank you.
Thank you, Elliott.

Ooh, in Flushing.
Well, good to see everybody.

Drew,
where are you going?
Mm, where am I going, yeah.

Actually, I think
I'm gonna go to Flushing.

Yeah, I hear Flushing's awesome
this time of year,

so I'll probably be there.
Can you just wait?

No.

See you guys.

Elliott,
Julian lives in Flushing.

Oh, no.

Did they not pay?

Drew?
What, Dory?

What? [ Scoffs ]
Are you --
What?

Are you mad at me
or something?

I don't know.
You know what?

I don't know about anything
anymore.

Yesterday, you scream at me
in the middle of the street

when I'm just trying
to be nice,

and then you go hang out
with your ex-boyfriend?

Okay, yes,
I saw Julian.
Cool.

Okay, but don't make a thing
out of this. Nothing happened.

You know I would never --
Then why lie?

Why would you lie?
I didn't lie.

I just didn't say it.
Oh.

Okay, I really feel like
you're just trying

to find a reason
to be mad at me.

Can I ask you something?
Yeah.

Would you have ever yelled at
Julian the way you yelled at me?

Oh.

I am sorry
I yelled at you.

Cool. Well,
it's not about the yelling.
Okay?

I got to go to work.

So I thought it would be,
you know,

pretty valuable information

to let you know
that she's still alive.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

And when was the last time
you saw her before last night?

Six years, which I know
sounds like a long time,

but, you know, it doesn't feel
that way with social media now.

Okay. Well,
thanks for coming in.

Okay. I mean, is that it?
What happens now?

Oh, we wait
and hope for the best.

Wait and hope?

We'll do the best we can.

But she's an adult,
and if what you say is true,

I'm sure she's aware
people are looking for her

and she'll come home.
But she needs help.

And if she calls me,
I'll be happy to help her.

Okay.

Well, I guess, uh...

I'll just let you get back
to shooting black teens,

'cause that's obviously
all you do.

Whoa! What the hell
did you just say to me?!
I'm sorry.

Sorry, I realize that that was
a very big thing to say,

and I-I didn't mean it.

You obviously
just work behind a desk.

You know what?
Get the fuck out of my office.

Okay, sorry.
Sorry.

Damn it.

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Police are useless.

I feel like I spent
the last hour talking to a wall.

I mean, it's like,
how many people come in here

and tell you they actually saw
their missing friend?

They didn't even care.

Wait. I'm sorry --
Who's your missing friend?

Um, Chantal Witherbottom.

Are you kidding me?

I saw her, too

She was gone.

I mean, I looked
in every direction,

and I yelled for her,
and nothing.

So if you saw her at 10:30,

that must have been, like,
right after I saw her.

Yeah.

How do you,
uh, know Chantal?

Oh,
through family matters.
Oh.

Yeah, she was always there
for me.

God...

I'm so happy that
I bumped into you.

And, you know, 'cause...

I -- I was starting
to doubt myself there.

Dory...
it's called fate

Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

The fire had blocked all
the exits on our floor,

and the snack room
was engulfed in flames.

Now, I had two options --

wet my shirt
with my chai latte,

which I was enjoying,

and used it as a damp mask
to breath through,

or run to the elevators
and wait for it to arrive.

Well, considering that I'm
standing here before you today,

which one do you think
I chose?

Hey, intern,
put the phone away.

Okay, let's talk
fire extinguishers.

By a show of hands,
how many of you think

there are two fire extinguishers
on this floor?

How many of you think
there are three?

I think there's three.

How many of you
think there are four?
-I'll go four.

You're all wrong.
There are seven.

Whoa.

Okay, now we'll talk about axes
for a while.

The blood spatter is typical,
Lieutenant.

But...

the interesting thing here
is...

well,
come see for yourself.

I'm assuming
that's not paint.

No, ma'am.

That red there,
that is blood.

They say a great artist
is willing to die for her work.

The question is, is she willing
to die for someone else's?

And cut.

That was so good.

You're so good.
Look, I'm just learning --
Good job, everyone.

Let's just do one more
from the top.

Do we have to?
I think we've got it.

There was a boom shadow,
so, yeah,

we got to do another one.
[ Scoffs ] Can't we
just fix it in post

like we do
with Elana's arm fat?

Sorry, so should I --

Um, I'm sorry...

You're such a good writer.
Oh, thanks.

Was that sort of what you were
looking for when you wrote it?

Yeah.
You make my job easy.

Really?

Okay. Thank you.

Hey, can I ask you kind of like
a writery question?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Okay. Hypothetical.

If there was a missing girl
and the police,

like, found her blouse
and it had blood on it,

would you, being an accomplished
crime writer,

assume that that means
that she's dead?

I mean, are we talking
about a good show?

About real life?

Then, yeah, I'd say
she's probably dead.

That's what I've been thinking
the whole time.

Hi. Excuse me, do you have these
in a sma--

Oh, my God.
Mark, this is insane.

I had no idea
you were working today.

Why wouldn't I be?

You're hilarious.
Uh-huh.

Um, here, walk with me
while I try these one.

How was your weekend,
by the way?
Oh, so lovely.

Luke took me
to the Cloisters

because his aunt
is the horticulturist there.

So she wanted to show us
the corn poppies.

His family
are such flower nerds.

It's kind of adorable.

Hand me those.
Okay.

It's actually insane
that you say that,

because I had most incredible
orgasm last night.

Do you remember those guys
Lilo and Kotto?

They used to be in charge

of those, like, Wednesday
night things.

Do you remember that?
Mm.

Anyway, one thing
led to another,

and I ended up having
a threesome with them

at the Transportation Museum,
essentially by accident.

What do you think
of these?
I think

What are you doing
tonight?

I'm sort of deciding
between three things.

Mm-mm. I heard about a party
that I'm throwing.

Oh, really?
What is it?

It's at Ramona's,
just a few friends.

Nothing elaborate.

Well, then, I guess I am now
deciding between four things.

There was no way in hell that
I was gonna show up to work

with my forehead stained
with pink dye like a lunatic.

I mean, could you imagine me
bossing people around like that?

No.

So where do you
boss people around?

Oh. I'm a head Realtor
at T.W. Brownway.

I don't know how acquainted
you are with the, uh, company,

but it's pretty high-end.

I really love my job,
I do.

It's my calling.
Yeah?

What do you do?

Oh, I, uh...

I work as an assistant, um,
to a lady who's married.

Oh.
It's pretty meaningless.

I'm just tired of things
that don't matter.

Yes.

There is literally
a person out there right now

who is begging for help
but is too scared to ask for it.

You're right.

Chantal is in danger.

What?

Yes.

And...

We can't talk about this
here.

Let's go to my place.

Okay.

Hey, buddy. Um, they got my name
wrong at the thing,

so they gave me
an extra milkshake.

Uh, I want to be clear, I didn't
get this for you or anything,

but if you want do want it,
you can take --

No, no, no, no, it's good.
It's -- I'm good.

But, actually, can we walk
in this direction?

I need to head uptown.

Aye, aye, captain.
Great.

Yeah, so it's a pretty nice
neighborhood, uh, overall,

minus the construction.

It's kind of grotesque to cover
up this beautiful architecture

with scaffolding, you know?

I mean, scaffolding, although
it isn't dangerous, is so ugly.

I mean,
there's got to be --
Dude, I'm sorry,

but can we actually start
talking about Dory?

I mean, that is why
you wanted to meet up.

I just find all this small-talk
pretty unnecessary.

Yeah, yeah.
Awesome.

No, we can switch gears to that
if that's what you want.

[ Sighs ] So?

Yeah, so, um...
All right.

I guess I just wanted
to, um, say that...

I'm not very comfortable with
Dory hanging out at your place

like that.

Okay.

Is that it?

Are you sure that's all
you wanted to ask me?
Yeah.

You don't want to ask me
if I slept with Dory?

No, go ahead.
Go ahead, ask me.

Did you?

Hey, is that a yes or a no,
Julian?

Come on, dude,
look at yourself.

You are standing
in the middle of the street

with two milkshakes talking to
your girlfriend's ex-lover.

That seems pretty pathetic.

I don't think it's pathetic.
I actually think it's mature.

And also I'm holding this
'cause it's a mistake!

I didn't get two milkshakes
on purpose.

I didn't fuck Dory.
Cool.

Thanks for not
fucking my girlfriend.
Yeah.

You know what? Actually,
I think I'm the one

who's being the adult
about this.

Whoa, whoa!

Really?!

Okay.
Sorry about that. Oh.

I'm sorry I'm making you walk
so far in those cute shoes.

Where did you get them?

I'm always on the lookout
for the best things.

Uh, uh, I don't know.

You know, Dory, um...

we actually passed my building
about 10 blocks ago.

Oh.
I'm probably
being paranoid,

but I'd rather be paranoid
than stupid.

Paranoid about what?

Are -- are we
being followed?

Don't be so obvious,
okay?

Is it him?

Stop.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.

We don't want people to know
that we're suspicious.

Who? I-Is it the same people
who are after Chantal?

You know they
broke into my building?

Replaced half
of my electronics.

They didn't steal them,
they replaced them

as if I wouldn't
freakin' notice.

What? Why?

You know, Dory,

they own the most prestigious
buildings in Midtown.

Who?
Is it your real-estate company?

I don't know if you want to
go down that road, Dory.

I mean,
you already know too much.

Okay, that guy's still
walking this way.

Shit.

Quick! Let's go into that bodega
for a second.

Just buy a couple of waters
or something.

You, out!
What?

You, out, out,
out, out, out!
Excuse me.

Not you.
You can never come in here.

How dare you
talk to me this way!

Your friend is crazy.
Get her out of here, please!

What?
No, I am not, Dory.

I've never even met this man.

This is the first time I've even
stepped foot in this bodega.

You know me.
She comes in here
every week

and make a huge mess
and yell at everyone.

What did you just say about me,
you freaking rat?!

Get out. I am calling
the police. Get out!

Hey!
I am a paying customer.

You cannot call the freakin'
police on me, you fucking rat!

I'm a rat, you're a damn pig!
You get out!
A pig?

What is your name?!
You don't need to
know my name.

What is your name?!
You don't need to
know my name.

Who is your manager?!
I am the manager!

I know my rights!
See, I'm right here.

You're not the manager!
I am --
right here, right now.

You don't even know
how to speak English!

Okay, so I finally get aboard
the yacht when it hits me.

I'm like, "Okay, this weekend
is gonna be literally just me

and, like, three very famous
pro wrestlers."

Of course, I've never
heard any of their names.

'Cause I'm Jewish.

I'm so sorry, you guys.

Hang tight
while I attend to sabotage.

Hi.

Hey.

How was your day?

Um...weird.
It was weird.

Hey, hey, hey! Hi.
Oh, hi!

Hey!
Hi. Oh, hey, Drew.

Oh, my gosh,
how was your day?

It was okay.
Mine was so good.

Yeah?
Yeah.

It was the first day
of my new show.
Oh, yeah.

I can't believe I was struggling
with my inferiority complex

all day because I was there,
and I was like,

"I'm good at this."
Right.

I know, I always --
I always tell you that.
The flight attendant

'cause she's, like, obsessed
with getting something
out of her shoe.

And the only thing
I could think to do --

Silence, silence!
Just one second.

I'm just gonna --
Shh!

Wrap that up.
I'll finish it.

Wrap that up.
I'll tell you later.

Okay.

We're gonna order --

Whoa!

Yeah.

We've ordered a few nibbles,
um, maybe some olives,

a cheese plate if you guys
are excited about that.

Um, but right now,
I want to take this moment

to thank all of you

and say that I love everyone
that I invited here tonight.

Uh, some of you,
I've know for years...

Whoo!

Some of you,
I've never met at all.

No, we've met.
We haven't met.

Uh, so not to get too intimate,
um...

but when I was in high school,

I was diagnosed with
Stage 4 lymphoma.

And it was frightening,
and it was disturbing,

and it was beautiful.

And I learned to take friendship
very seriously, okay,

because the greatest lesson I
learned in that entire time...

is that you can't fight a war
alone.

You need an army.

So I celebrate life tonight.

Even if that means throwing
a party for no reason at all.

I love you guys.
You are my chosen family.

Okay? Especially you, Mark.

My boyfriend.

Come here.

Can we just talk
for one second?

Look, about the Julian stuff,
I just want to apologize.

You really don't have to,
I promise.

I -- I don't know why
I didn't tell you.

I-I really should have.

Now, just hear me out,
all right?
Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, and I want to let
you know I trust you so much.

And I'm not gonna freak out
again or get jealous --

Dory!

Eight and a half, right?

W-What are you doing here?

We got to get these on and get
out of here as soon as possible.

Who are all these people?

You didn't tell them anything,
did you?

No.
Hi, I'm Drew.

I'm Dory's boyfriend.
Oh, hi.

Hi, Drew.
Very nice to meet you.
Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Are you guys
going together?

Yeah, we date.

Yeah?
Did you have sex yet?

Yeah.
Dory, who is this?

Why is this man looking at my breasts?
I'm not looking at your breasts.

You were totally
looking at my breasts.

I'm absolutely not
looking at your breasts.

Dory, this man is sick.
He's the Prince of Darkness.

You can tell by
those black eyes.

My eyes are as blue as the sea,
so...
Here's cheese, you guys.

Let go of her!

Get away!

Oh, my God!

Let's go!
No, no, no.
No, no, I'm not with her.

They're after me!
Sir!

No,
they're after you, too!
Oh, my god!

My God, I'm still shaking.
I'm fully shaking, look.

Just breathe through it, babe.
Just breathe.

Hey, who was she talking about
when she said they're after you?

Who knows?
I mean, she's psychotic.

You know, she said
she knew stuff about Chantal.

Obviously, she didn't.
She just made it all up.

But, I, like,
I wanted to believe it,

'cause I, like, wanted it
to be real or something.

I should go to the hospital,
right?

I could be hurt, and I
probably don't know it.
You know what I mean?

Could be
really fucking hurt.

No, she's just --
She's probably dead.

She's probably just dead.
You said you saw her.

Mm.
If you said you saw her,
she's alive.

No, I think I'm crazy
and she's dead.

Dory, don't say that.
You're not crazy.

I promise you're not crazy.
I believe you.

You know, I think that if --
if you think that you saw her,

then I think
you definitely saw her.

Thanks.

But I got to say, let it...
let it all go.

I mean,
all things considered,

it does sound like you
had a really cool day.

Is your wrist okay?

Yeah.
Yeah, it's fine.

[ Sighs ] You gonna be up
a little longer?

Yeah,
just a little bit.

Okay.

Till like 4:00 A.M.,
or what?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Oh.
Brush your teeth.

Gavin:
Okay, it's on, go.

Hey, everyone!
It's me -- Chantal!

Um, I was challenged by my
sister, Catherine Witherbottom,

to do
the ice bucket challenge.

And I nominate Gavin Rolf!

Just do it!

Okay.

Okay.
