Slasher (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 3 - In Trust - full transcript

Harder!

You like that?

Yeah! Yeah!

Seamus?

Stop.

Seamus!

Seamus?

Shit! Shoot! Okay.

Please don't tell me I cleared
my schedule for nothing.

I'm sorry, Dad, I...

just got distracted.



We said
11:00 a.m. sharp.

Where's the hunting gear?

Oh... shit.

It's, um, it's down
at the dock.

And why aren't you down there?

Um, I...

Go wash your face.

She shouldn't see this.

Keep her away.

Here.

Here, Grace, stop, stop.

He lost, and now he's dead.

This was not a part
of Spencer's plan.

Then was the masked guy
who stabbed me?



W-we need to get the hell
off the island A.S.A.P.

Merle.
Merle, can take us back.

We need to get back
to the boathouse.

And go back through the woods

with a masked killer
on the loose?

No. No, no, no way.
No way.

Maybe they're gone.

Maybe it was just
all about Jayden.

Why?
Who would want to hurt Jayden?

Who...

We'll go as a group, okay?
I'll lead.

She's not going anywhere.

I'll stay.

I'll help.

Just be careful.

Let's go, before it gets dark.

Hey, are you coming?

I'll stay.

Aphra, go with Mommy.

Be there in a minute.

Be careful.

Grace.

We will...

find the person who did this.

You did this.

Do you understand?

My son is dead because of you.

- What did he look like?
- Uh...

a whitish mask,
an old-fashioned suit,

black cap, black gloves,
creepy as fuck.

The boat's gone.

It sounded like he went
to go fish.

He usually comes back
to share the bounty.

Let's see if he left a note.

Or a gun.

Most unusual.

If he's not back by dinner
with his bounty,

I'm swimming to the mainland.

The cold and the currents
aren't just myth and hyperbole.

Is there any way
to call him back?

This is the only island
for 30 miles.

There's no cell service.

So we have to wait until when?

If Merle doesn't come back,
Monday.

It's either the beast
or the deep.

The creepy masked guy
with the knife.

How the fuck did Spencer
run a huge business

without cell service?

Well, I've seen him with
a satellite phone once or twice,

but we never had access to it.

Oh, okay. Satellite phone,
priority number one.

The destroyed
satellite phone,

just sitting in the den looking
like a cubist art reject.

Wait, did you know
he was trapping us here?

Of course not!

Your father hired me
to oversee two things...

his end-of-life arrangements
and the execution of his will.

Emphasis on execution.

Okay, okay, I think just given
the extreme circumstances,

we tear up that will.

It's a legal document.

The original's with his lawyers
on the mainland.

Okay, huge respect for Spencer
and I'm not trying to be

off-base,
but could he have brought

a gun for hire to the island?

It's okay, sweetie.

Come on.

Grandpa was bad man.

He's not sweetheart. He's not.

Hello.
he set up bear traps

for your crazy
competition, Seamus.

He put us through hell,
but he didn't want us dead.

Look, the... the mask, whatever
the hell this was,

it's... it's different.

The difference
is this sham doctor.

She shows up, and people
start dropping like flies.

What a coincidence.

Christy said the murderer
was wearing a mask.

Maybe he... or she...
isn't an outsider.

- It isn't family.
- So what, the doctor?

Or are you accusing me,
too, Flo?

Or maybe it's him,
the new family.

- Vincent is family!
- You sure about that?

- Christy, come on!
- What?

Seamus, how do we know
he's not making that shit up?

- Spencer had proof!
- Like he had proof about her?

Are you saying she's not family?

Now that you mention it.

Okay, anyone with a boat
could get here.

Okay, so maybe
Jayden was targeted.

You know, was he ever involved
in anything illegal?

You shut your mouth!
Shut your mouth!

I loved him.
I'm just trying

to figure out what
happened, Grace.

So there's no boat.

How about we make a raft
or something?

Those channels take down boats
every year.

We're toast
if we don't have a motor.

I am duty-bound to tell you

that even if you left
the island,

the competition
still goes ahead.

No! I loved my son
and my husband!

I'm sorry.

Nothing changes the terms
of Spencer's will,

not even death.

His or anyone else's.

If you don't play,
you can't get his inheritance.

Alright, we're not going
anywhere tonight.

We all sleep together in here.

The killer could be
in this house.

Dude!

Well, we would know if he was.

The house is huge.

No one sleeps alone.

Daddy, I hear ocean.
Do again.

My mattress is never gonna
make it down those stairs.

Well, let's just all clean up

and grab what we need
for sleeping.

Everyone. Yeah?

Yeah, okay.

Are you ready for your first
slumber party?

- Yep.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna go warm up some milk.

Calm down.

Yeah, if that works,
I'll take the whole cow.

Figured you'd be out
building a raft by now.

Yeah, no, this family
doesn't need any more tragedy.

Um...

I talked to my mom.

About my birth father.

Did you know all this time?

Yeah.

The situation is complicated.

Always has been.

Okay, I know that this isn't
exactly a great time,

but why didn't you
ever say anything to me?

Because your mother
and I laid it to rest.

We lived under the same roof.

You know?

I mean, even when I was a kid,

there was just...

there was nothing from you.

Is this about the money?

'Cause I don't have any.

Look, I don't care
about the money.

- That's not...
- No?

No. I, um...

I just want to...

I want to connect with you.

With my father.

Well, we did that.

Look, if you don't
want the money,

you should drop out
of the competition.

Greedy little bastard.

Just like my father predicted.

I brought food.

You'll feel better
if you eat something.

I'm not hungry.

I'll just leave it here
in case you change your mind.

Grace, I...

Sorry? Yes.

Yes, everyone is sorry.

But I really am.

I mean, not just for now.

I could've done better.

We... we all could've
done better.

Well, I wasn't a joy
to work for.

I made it harder for you.

It's this place.

It's toxic.

Spencer's legacy.

This family brings people
into their orbit

and destroys them.

Especially
if you're an outsider.

People like us.

People who aren't...

Spoiled, privileged...

White.

Maybe we need to change that.

Keep an eye out.

Watch out for each other.

Because they won't.

I can do that.

Every murderer needs a weapon.

An outsider needs
to protect herself.

We could get off this island.

Go back to the way things
were before.

I can throw the money away.

I'm being paid well enough.

And that's not
what Spencer wanted.

You have no idea what he wanted.

You're not family.

That's why he wanted
a neutral party.

To keep this clean from
your selfishness,

ineptitude, and greed.

You think I'm fucking with you?!

You're just angry because
a competition means

that you would have to actually
earn something for once.

Stay out of the way or you're
gonna need a real doctor!

You better hope
I don't catch you!

Wait, wait, wait, stop!
Stop!

You're the killer!

Wrong again.

I would never, ever kill family.

No, your father said you would
do anything for cash!

That a killer instinct
without control is weakness!

Oh, trust me, I'm gonna be
very controlled with you.

Stay the fuck away from me!

Aah!

When this weekend is over, I'm
going straight to the police!

And you're gonna tell them what?

The truth.

Beauty is truth.

Truth, beauty, that is all
you know on earth

and all you need to know.

You are fucking crazy!

I'm not the one
who trapped us here,

forcing us to compete
to the death!

The police won't believe
a word you say.

Your family will.

They all hate you!

They all know that you'd stop
at nothing to win!

Look at you,
fleeing on a wood chipper!

This is a joke to you?

Of course it's a joke.

I mean, what did you think,

I was gonna go all
Lizzie Borden on you?

I'm... I'm gonna get
down from here.

Then I'm going back...

Help!

Please!
Get me out of here!

Killer instinct, Daddy?

Fuck you for ever doubting me.

Will you be close, Papa?

All night.

It's okay.

There you go.

Hey.

Do you love me?

Seamus, why would you even
ask me that?

And you'll stay with me
through anything?

Oh, my God, please don't
tell me that you...

- I did something.
- To Jayden?

Please not that, please...

Jayden? What?

No.

Oh.

It's Liv, um...

Liv is my daughter.

So you're the mystery man.

Seamus, I-I don't know
what to think right now.

Well, it sounds like you think
I had something to do

with Jayden's death.

Okay, you were being so awful,
and weird, and I...

I don't know, Seamus,
I was scared.

So you jump to the conclusion
that I'm a psycho killer?

Geez!

I'm glad you know me so well.

You know, apparently, I don't,

since you've been keeping
secret daughters from me,

even when we were trying
to have a baby that whole time.

That whole time.

What else aren't you telling me?

Got any other secrets
I don't know about?

It...

it was in the past, it was...

it was a long time ago, Christy.

You know, "it" is a person.

She's one of the few people
I actually like here.

That wild turkey
didn't stand a chance.

Well, I think my Benelli
gave me a slight advantage.

A shotgun can't shoot
itself, my dear.

And a meal can't serve itself.

Birgit! Birgit!

Tell you again Achilles
helped great Peleus slay

the Calydonian boar.

What? What the hell are you
going on about?

Ugh, your father-son
blood bonding, cretin.

Achilles had his bloody
headphones in his ears

- the whole time.
- Oh, my God.

Music helps me concentrate, Dad.

You can't hunt
something you can't hear.

Unless you're hunting
George Michael.

Honestly, Seamus, what is it
about George Michael?

You're obsessed.

Oh, Dad, everyone loves him.

Well, I don't.
That high lady voice, that...

that "Freedom" song
you keep singing.

All those lines about a secret
and someone he's got to be.

And then there's that video.

Okay, it's an ode
to "Blade Runner", okay?

It's an ode to pornography.

The guy's as queer
as a $3 bill.

Dad, all of my friends
are playing with sexuality.

Your friends are nothing
like George Michael, trust me.

No, they
certainly aren't.

Why doesn't he just stop
beating about the bush

and just tell
the world he's gay?

Right, Seamus?

Right.

Maybe he doesn't because
he knows the world would stop

buying his records if he did.

Dinner's served.

- Finally.
- We are starting with gazpacho.

Birgit!
You've served this cold.

Yes, my dear,
it's supposed to be.

He's here.

You look like you've seen
a ghost.

Congratulations to those
still left in the game,

and condolences to Seamus for
choking on the first challenge,

unless he's proven me wrong
for the first time in his life.

This second challenge is
more difficult than the first.

Again, no winner.

Only a loser who will be out of
the running for the inheritance.

In the middle of the night,
another tone will sound.

The remaining players are to
convene in the basement,

where they can prove their worth
or admit their shame.

So what is it now?
Red-hot pokers?

Trinh pulling your nails out?

What cheery family
tradition's next?

Where is Trinh?

Dr. Trinh?!

- Hello?!
- Dr. Trinh?

- Dr. Trinh?
- Dr. Trinh?

Dr. Trinh?!

Dr. Trinh?!

Dr. Trinh?

Dr. Trinh?

Theo?

Oh, sorry.

Any luck?

No.

My God, what a nightmare.

Tell me about it.

I knew coming back
here was a mistake.

Should've never gotten off
that fucking boat.

Now you're a Galloway, though.

Yay?

Spencer should've just told you.

Hm.

Ah...

Not Spencer.

Seamus.

Whatever.

Hasn't changed my life one way
or another,

and it's not gonna, so...

Not gonna?

Make it out of this weekend
a multimillionaire,

so yeah, change your life.

Same might change mine.

Yeah, you, um, you must have had
a pretty hard life, huh,

out there.

No harder than yours.

I know I'm not really
a Galloway anymore.

But, uh, sorry for everything
my family put

you and your mom through.

And, uh...

if I don't win this thing,
I hope you do.

'Cause you, uh, deserve it.

We should keep looking.

Vincent.

What?
What's the problem?

Is it 'cause I'm not Theo?

I mean, I'm not the only one out
to kiss a cousin.

Stay the fuck away from me.

Be careful.

Killer cold be out there.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Take my fucking chances.

- Dr. Trinh?
- Dr. Trinh?

Whoa!

That's Trinh's.

She was wearing it today.

Oh, God.

Hey, guys, we found
Trinh's remains

out by the wood chipper.

Oh, my God, like, what,
through the chipper?

Yeah.

Okay, so... so the killer
is still here.

And Jayden wasn't
the only target.

Okay, let's get everybody
inside, lock the doors.

Liv's not back.

Has anybody seen her?

You stay here, I'll go back out.

- No, I'm coming with you.
- No, no! Stay put!

She'll be back.

Why, just leave her out there?

No, no, that is two people
who've been murdered, Seamus.

No! What if you go out there,
she comes back,

then we're wondering
where you are!

Listen, I know this doesn't feel
good, but we have to be careful.

Oh, I see.
Careful of your own.

She's not the right
kind of family.

That's not fair.

Jayden, Trinh, and now Liv.

What do they all share
in common?

Birgit, Liv is
a trained soldier.

She can defend herself
better than any of us.

I care about Liv.

Bullshit you do!

I'll just leave the lights
on outside

and stand watch
during the night, okay?

And I'll stay with you.
She's coming back.

She's coming back.

I know what I see.

I know what I see!

She's always hated Jayden.

Always hated Liv.

Oh, Goddamn it, Birgit!

Well, clean up on aisle 1.

Are you
feeling okay, Grace?

Oh, if you don't like it,
don't eat it.

You okay, honey?

You all right?

Maybe Birgit could
fry up a hamburger.

What's wrong?

You're not feeling good?

I don't know.

Maybe you're not used to
all this high-quality food.

Right?

Growing up in a trailer park.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think everything here
is way too rich for your blood.

A little too refined
for your palate.

In this family,
we take care of our own.

Got it, Mom?

Taking care of your own?

What the fuck
are you talking about?

The Galloway way.

You know, I just...

I didn't expect that it would
escalate to murder.

First Jayden, now Liv?
So you can win?

Don't be ridiculous.

I wouldn't touch your kids
to scratch them.

Bullshit.

Oh, but hey, if someone
takes care of them for me,

just tell me who to tip
on my way up.

Not so tough now, are you?

Arrogant bitch!

What the fuck was that?

What...

Whoa.

I got this.

Come on!

Come here!

I'm not scared of you.

You should be!

Locked.

We got to break it in.
We got to break it in.

Aah!

Oh, fuck!

Two, one...

You took my son from me!

I saw it happen!
He was killed!

You have any proof of that?

- Three, two, one!
- Three, two, one!

You took my son from me!

Stop it!

Come on, stop it!

Stop it!

What the fuck, Grace?

Oh, my God!

Oh, don't all look at me
like that!

You all taught me this!

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

My hands.

They're my artistic livelihood.

I should have had them insured.

Yeah, well, fuck them.

I'll have you back in this.

We'll kick their asses,

and we're gonna fucking
win together.

Oh, my God. There's was never
a "we" in Dad's plan.

The basement.

I think we're supposed to start.

We're gonna start when my
9-fingered sister gets down here

with clean clothes,
just like the rest of us.

Do we carry on without Trinh?

I read that will.
Nothing stops it.

No psycho survivor
is automated.

Let's get the fatherly love
over with.

Blah, blah, blah, you suck,
I'm great.

What, you didn't get enough
when he was alive?

No winner, only a loser.

The last person across
is eliminated.

Across that?

To win, you have to get
to the other side.

If you fall, you start again.

And get electrocuted, I assume.

Hold on a sec.

Doesn't that automatically
make her the loser?

She's forfeiting, right?

Maybe? I don't know if that
applies to this competition.

I mean, she's not losing.
She's just not competing, right?

Yeah, but she's taken herself
out of the running, right?

We're clear on that.
Rules are rules.

Okay, everyone ready to suffer
pointlessly?

Okay, countdown on my five.

Five...

four...

three...

two...

Go.

Take it.

Any rules about
helping others across?

I don't think.

No, there's nothing
in the rules.

- Do it, Seamus.
- No fucking way.

Grab it.

Shh, shh, shh!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, that ipecac
hit her so hard!

And she deserved it.

She deserved it!

Thank you.
Thank you for your help.

Well, there's nothing
like a shared enemy.

You know, that George Michael
thing at dinner,

that was horrible.

Oh, it's fine.

No, it's not.

It's not.

I mean, I get
what Dad is saying. Like...

I'm attracted to guys.
Whatever.

What does he expect me to say?

Mnh-mnh. No.

You do not have to define
yourself for me.

Or anyone, really.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, yeah.

Shh, shh!

Slower, slower! Slower!

You idiot!

And you, you slut!

Like we haven't
given you enough?

Come on, this is what
you wanted me to do.

Fuck the help?

Jesus Christ, Seamus,
you can fuck anyone you want,

just not the woman
who cleans our goddamn toilets!

I'm just fooling around, Dad.

Tell me you wore a condom.

Did you come inside her?

Man the fuck up.

In this world, there is us,
and there is them.

If you give them anything of us,
they will run with it.

You can't trust anyone!

Come on.

Come on!

Fuck it.
I don't need help.

No.

Should've taken my hand.

Baby?

Fuck all this insanity, Seamus.

You're free.

Let's drink our way through
this weekend,

never come back.

Okay?

You saw what happened
to Jayden when he lost.

Well, Trinh said
those were unrelated.

Trinh is dead.

She didn't know what
she was talking about.

You'll leave me.

- What?
- When we get home.

You'll leave me.

That... that's crazy.

We can't be us anymore.

The expensive dinners,
the vacations.

No, that stuff was fun, but you
are more than your money.

You know that's not true.

Do you honestly think
I'm that shallow?

That I'd stay here through years
of this psycho,

cruel family bullshit
if it wasn't for you?

Really?

Christy...

money changes everyone.

It didn't change me.

I don't know you, Seamus.

And you clearly never knew me.

Thought kicking Florence's ass
would make me feel better.

Oh, that shit felt good.

It did.

But it didn't last.

We will be okay.

We don't know that.

I understand how you're feeling
better than anyone else here.

If Liv is half as strong as you,
she'll survive.

She's probably out
there working out

how to get us away
from this miserable place.

We can hope.

Yeah.

We still have that.

Yeah.

You called?

I have something for you.

Okay.

I waited to tell you
that I was sorry

about what happened.

No. It's fine.

I mean, I'm not sorry about
what happened between us.

I actually liked that.

Here.

It's for you.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

I know you don't have a lot
of money, and...

I wanted to help make sure that,
uh, you take care of,

well, anything
that could come up.

As you wish.

Um, my shirt.

The one with the French cuffs.

Any chance to iron it yet?
I need it for a board meeting.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

Oh.

Oh. Don't.

I just... I thought I'd check up
on Uncle Seamus.

You just missed him.

Are you okay?

Oh.

Do you want me to come inside?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Money was fun, but I never gave
a fuck about it.

Same way.

I came to all these horrible
family reunions.

Sorry if you like them.

Yeah, no.

I don't want to ever
come to one of these again.

He's the only reason I come
here, and he knows how I feel.

These things suck.

It does, I...
I just keep trying and trying.

I adopted a kid with him.

I built a life around him.

I love him.

He must know that.

Yeah, deep down. Yeah.

No, he's too banged up by your
awful grandfather

to see that I love
him completely.

You're so lucky that Spencer
wasn't your dad.

He ruined Seamus,
he ruined your mom.

Trust me, it trickles down.

I bet.

Well, hey, you think
you can fix it?

You guys good at working
these things out?

You know, if I can get him as
far away as possible

- from all of...
- Us?

Yeah.
That's a good idea.

And I'm not letting him go.

Thank you for listening.

Aw, you're so sweet.

I should check on Aphra
and find Seamus.

Oh, I'm coming with you.

I'm not ending up alone
anywhere on this island.
