Servant (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 5 - Neighbors - full transcript

Sean and Dorothy host the new neighbors on Spruce with plans to finally get Leanne out of the house.

I'm sorry.

Jesus.

You're breathing on me.

No, you don't have to stop.

Thank you for allowing
me to keep breathing.

I'm so glad we're on
the same team again.

I wanna try the chair.

Are you sure? You want
me to get Bev and Bobbie?

What, do you think
I'm too heavy for you?

No.

I just don't wanna hurt you.



I once had a male yoga teacher
who told me pain is a gift.

He sounds like an asshole.

- Okay, I'm ready.
- Okay.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

There's a new sheriff in town.

It's perfectly safe. All the
users gave it five stars.

What are you doing?

Could you give us a
minute, Leanne? Please.

She's not ready for this.
She's gonna hurt herself again.

We got this.

Race ya.

Bev? Bobbie?

We're coming.



Bev's just trying something
different with her eyebrows.

I forget your meds.
I'll be right back.

Dorothy?

Dorothy.

Dorothy?

Here.

Are you okay?

I can't believe that he let
you use this stupid thing.

- What did you do to her?
- Nothing.

Sean.

- What the fuck happened?
- I'm fine.

I told you she wasn't ready.

- She nearly fell out of it.
- I'm fine, I promise.

Just please, all of you,
just give us a second.

Give us a second.

God.

"CLS has laid claim to a nearby sanctuary.
We want our Wayward Flower back.

Give us the opportunity
this Thursday after dark,

and your family shall
be left in peace."

It's them.

Are you ready for us, honeybun?

Just a minute, Bev.
Sean's changing in here.

- You think it's the new neighbors?
- It has to be.

Yeah.

All those houses selling
at the same time?

They want her back. This
is a dream come true.

Yeah. But they've
tried this before.

Well, they'll be better
prepared this time.

And maybe this
time, we can help.

I don't think it's safe
to get too involved.

I don't mean "help" them, help
them. I just mean help pave the way.

It says right here, "Give
us the opportunity."

We can have a party. We
can have a cocktail party

to welcome all the new
neighbors to Spruce Street.

Okay, we have to be careful. More
careful than we've ever been.

We can't let Jericho out of our
sight, not even for one second.

Yeah, we'll keep him
downstairs in the Pack 'n Play.

And as for Leanne, we'll just
have Bev and Bobbie distract her.

- I mean, that's their specialty.
- Right.

God, Sean, does this
make us monsters?

Are we already monsters?

Party?

To welcome the new neighbors.

And we know that's not really your thing,
so we got you a ticket to the Sixers game.

One ticket? I'm supposed
to go by myself?

Well, we'll need
Leanne here. To help.

Because honestly, this thing
you have with her, it's…

not healthy.

Some changes must
be made around here.

And I need to know
what side you're on.

Keep the ticket.

I don't know what
you are plotting,

but I'm not up for some cosmic
reassessing of my life situation.

This is Leanne's home
now. She belongs here.

Actually, she doesn't.

Are you seriously gonna try
and get rid of her again?

Do I need to remind you every time
you have tried that in the past,

you have failed miserably?

How did you manage to pick
the worst person imaginable

to be your girlfriend?

She picked me.

I'll go get him.

Just once it'd be great if
you could uphold the bro code

and defend me when Dorothy
attacks my girlfriend.

This isn't about you.

We all know Leanne's weird,
but it's more than that.

She has unusual fucking abilities,
Julian. She can make things happen.

There's like a supernatural link between
her mind and the rest of the world.

She's fucking dangerous, Julian.

- Why aren't you being medicated?
- Un-fucking-believable.

You're acting like she's
a Stephen King creation.

- You sound insane.
- Okay.

I challenge you to watch what's happening
around her over the next few days.

If you still feel like there isn't
something fundamentally wrong with her,

you may medicate me.

You should be on set.

Last-minute schedule shift.

What are you doing?

Dorothy and I thought it might
be nice to have a small party

to meet the new neighbors. So
I'm on my way to meet them.

I see.

You know, you really shouldn't
try and keep things from me, Sean.

- Hello.
- Hi. I'm Sean Turner from down the street.

We're having a get-together,
and I wanted to invite you.

- Well, thank you.
- Sure.

- When?
- Thursday, 7:00-ish.

- Well, I'll tell my wife.
- Wonderful.

Take care.

Could I bring something?

My chocolate-covered
strawberries would make you cry.

No, just yourselves.

Hi.

- Hi, I'm...
- Having a party?

We may have overheard.

Yeah.

Are you guys preparing
for the end of times?

No. Just some comfort food.

Ash says I shouldn't be
allowed to shop at Costco.

So you were saying
there's a party?

Uh-huh. Yeah.
Thursday, 7:00-ish.

We'll be there.

Great. All right.
Well, have a good day.

- Thanks.
- You too.

I might be wrong about the young
couple, but it doesn't matter.

They all said they're coming, so
we'll figure it out at the party.

As far as I'm concerned, once
they're here, our job is done.

Not really.

We gotta figure out who
it is and help 'em out.

You're right.

We'll just ask
them some questions

and find out if they feel
like the kind of people

who would buy in this
neighborhood or if…

- They're faking it.
- Exactly.

They live lives in ignorance,

plastic smiles upon their faces…

You have to take what
you want for yourselves.

And you can do it.

I'll show you how.

These are mine.

Everything in this book
happened in some way.

When you want something…

put it down on paper.

Sean!

And the answer will come to you.

You just have to believe

- that you deserve it.
- I'll take one.

What is happening out there?

What, do these people
live in the park now?

Why didn't you tell me
things had gotten this crazy?

Well, you weren't
exactly talking to me.

Who are these people?

Former members of the
Church of Lesser Saints.

They're all defectors.
They left to follow Leanne.

This madness has to end.

Tomorrow she is gone.

We cannot fail. Not this time.

So sharp.

Isn't it funny how something
so useful can be so deadly

when it's in the wrong hands?

Yeah.

I should lock them up.

Why are you having
this party, Sean?

Dorothy's been on her back for
months. She needs social interaction.

And I want my wife to be happy.

Fine.

You keep your secrets.

But I love this family.

And nothing is going
to change that.

Nothing.

Sean's cake looks amazing.

I can't believe I'm actually
in Dorothy Turner's house.

- May I?
- Here, let me.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

Hey. You set up camp here.

I need you to keep an eye on
this guy, while I work the room.

No problem. I'd rather be
singing "The Wheels on the Bus"

than have your neighbors ask
me what I do for a living.

What do you do for a living?

Fuck you.

You know, we've seen almost
every episode of your show.

Every episode?

I haven't seen all
of them, I'm afraid.

But my wife...

Would you sign
this for me, doll?

You got it.

I've seen every episode
of Gourmet Gauntlet,

and you're the sexiest
host they've ever had.

Every episode, huh?

What was the surprise
ingredient last week?

Your tight jeans?

My wife's never been shy.

I have to check on something in
the kitchen. If you'll excuse me.

- I love Helen Beard.
- Oh, y... Now she's a genius.

Excuse me.

I have no patience for the
philistines who say her work is porn.

You're art lovers? Fabulous.
Who's your favorite Impressionist?

Degas.

Good choice.

I've always been
partial to Manet.

What about you?

Suzy's the artsy one. I
kind of like all of 'em.

Curious, what are
your thoughts on God?

Really?

If she exists, I think she
has a cruel sense of humor.

Good. Great, thanks.
Very helpful.

What?

Wow. Sean's cake looks amazing.

Here you go.

So, important question since
you're new to the neighborhood:

Where'd you buy your fine wine?

We actually make our own wine.

Yeah, all organic.

We have a vineyard
out in Bucks County.

We would've brought a bottle.

We just... We didn't want people
to feel pressure to drink it.

Why? Don't you like it?

Well…

yes.

Sorry, that was weird.

Would you excuse me
for a second? I...

You and your wife
must be so proud.

We are. It's relaxing to
have boring adult children.

Why did you decide to move here?

Yvonne and I fell in love
with Philly years ago,

and thought, "Why not?"

I got a job offer at
Bryn Mawr Hospital.

I didn't mean to Philly, I
meant here. To this street.

Crime's out of control.

I've been assaulted
more than once,

and I survived a home
invasion when I was all alone.

God, I can't imagine what
that must have been like.

I'm not asking
for your sympathy.

I'm merely pointing out
your bravery in moving here.

Or maybe it's just stupidity.

This is a lovely
party, isn't it?

Look for anything
from the church.

Next house.

Are any of you churchgoers?

Overrated.

Did any of you ever
live on a farm?

What did you think of
that NXIVM documentary?

The Bible, thumbs
up or thumbs down?

What's your favorite
flavor of Kool-Aid?

When do you think
the world will end?

We are terrible detectives.

Are you enjoying yourself?

Indeed. You have
a beautiful home.

Thank you. Have you
seen the kitchen yet?

Stunning.

Sean must feel like
he's in heaven here.

The patio is our pride and joy.

Feel free to step out and take
some night air if you like.

Leanne?

Go check the patio gate,
make sure it's locked.

So you're talking to me now?

Can you do it? Or do I need
to ask someone more capable?

You have such a French
New Wave quality.

I'm a photography professor,

and I'm always on the
lookout for new models.

- No.
- You sure?

My rates are competitive.

And just so you know, my wife
and I have an open marriage.

Go away.

Everything all right?

I'm sorry, I…

I thought I felt a vibe.

Thank you for that.

That wasn't to help you.

Why can't you just
be nice to me?

Listen and hear me.

We do not have a relationship
that needs mending.

We have nothing.

I've tolerated your presence
only because I've had to,

but I'm not an invalid anymore.

I'm under no obligation to
care about you, and I don't.

This is a disaster.

We need to accept that
our plan has failed.

I will not accept that. I
need her out of here tonight.

How?

We just haven't given them
the perfect opportunity yet.

Everyone's watching.

There's nothing we
can do about that.

Isn't there?

Go down to the cellar and
cut the circuit breaker.

Go ahead. Go.

Everyone?

Everyone.

Well, I thought maybe we
could all play a game.

It's a good one. Okay.

So, someone chooses a quote,

and then someone else
jumps in to finish it.

It's... It can be from a
book, or a song, or a film,

but just so long as someone
can actually recognize it.

Actually, our family used
to play this on trips.

Julian? You wanna
give us an example?

I don't really
wanna participate.

Oh, God, don't be difficult.

"I'm just a poor boy,
nobody loves me."

He's just a poor boy
From a poor family

Okay. Well, then I'll go. Okay.

"It was the spring of hope."

"It was the winter of despair."

You go.

Nobody panic. It's just an
old house. Probably a fuse.

Sean!

On it! Hold tight.

Here we go.

- Party favors for everyone.
- Thank you, darling.

- Grab a light. Grab one.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Grab a light.

We also have coffee and aperitifs, but
be careful on your way to the kitchen…

everyone.

What's taking them so long?
We can't make it any darker.

Just have faith, we're so close.

- How do you know?
- Because we did everything right.

They want her. This
is nearly over.

It has to be, Sean.

I cannot take
another day with her.

If it doesn't work,
we'll try something else.

We won't stop. Not until it's just
you and me and the little guy.

That's all that matters.

What is that?

Jericho.

Lock the cot!

This way. Come on.

Get out. Go. Move!

Oh, my God.

We're a family.

What is it going to take to
make you understand that?

Leanne.

Leanne.
