Slasher (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 6 - Face Time - full transcript

The family members dole out justice to one of their own, as The Gentleman finds an unexpected ally.

GRACE:
But Florence could be killed.

THEO: I don't care
what happens to her.

You're condemning her,
your own goddamn mother.

No, she chose herself
over O'Keefe!

[ Sighs ]

She...

She watched them die.

Unless she's the fucking killer.

We'll know by morning.

- Guys, this is nuts.
- You weren't there, Liv.

You didn't see O'Keefe.



I have no problem with it.

- You could go to jail for this.
- We all could.

Not if we don't say
how she got there.

I'm not going to jail again.

- Then keep your mouth shut.
- Look, you don't like it?

Stay out of it.
You might live longer.

You were the one who said
we should wait until Monday,

when the police could be called.

What happened to that?

Hello?

- [ Footsteps ]
- [ Gasps ]

Hello?!

Vincent?

Vincent!

[ Grunting ]

[ Screams ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Aphra.

Oh, my God, Aphra.

You beautiful little...

Aphra, you've come
to set me free!

Oh, my God.

Oh, good girl!
Yes.

Just...
Just...

Cut the zip ties down here,
honey, at my hands.

That's a good little girl.

Just bend down
and snip, snip!

That's right,
just down at my hands, honey.

Do you want me to...

Do want me to make you
one of those? I can!

I have a smelter.
Do you know what that is?

It's a furnace where you can
make anything you want.

Anything, anything!
Out of metal.

You could do it yourself.
You could make your own baby.

Would you like to do that?

Just...

Just cut me out!

I won't say...

I promise I won't say a word.

What are you doing?

Don't do that.

Stop it!
Stop it right now.

Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it!

Stop it right now,
you stupid little...

- [ Squelch ]
- [ Moaning ]

You killed Daddy.

No, I didn't!

Now, you pay.

[ Screaming ]

[ Insects chirping ]

CHRISTY: Aphra?
Aphra, where are you?

[ Tense music playing ]

S-She's not in the kitchen
or in the basement.

I can't find her anywhere.

S-She was here,
listening to all of us.

Maybe we scared her.

She disappears all the time,
you know?

Um...

Seamus...
[ Chuckles ]

Seamus would freak out,
and he'd tear the house apart.

And then we...
then we'd find her,

sitting in the boiler room,
giggling.

That would drive me nuts.

She does it for attention.
S-She'd love to see...

She'd love to see him in tears,
thinking that she'd left.

But I don't think
she's in the house this time.

I think she's out there.

Please...

I can't lose her.

She's all Seamus and I
ever wanted.

I'm not creeping around
with one eye.

Liv, you'll come, right?

It's the middle of the night.

You didn't want us
leaving Florence out there.

So let's go find Aphra,
and then we can...

No, no. Liv's right.
It's too dark.

The killer could be anywhere.

GRACE: I know you don't want
to hear it, Christy,

but it's the truth.

She wouldn't have got out,
though, right?

She's not that messed up.

Stop calling her messed up,
okay?

She spent her entire childhood
in a fucking orphanage.

Hey, if she's not back
by the morning,

we'll go look for her
when it's light out, okay?

- CHRISTY: You have a gun, right?
- No.

- Sorry, it's natural selection.
- CHRISTY: I need protection.

You know who would want
the fucking gun?

- The killer.
- Okay, enough, asshole!

Everybody here is dealing
with their own shit,

so they don't need
your tough-guy act.

Anyone want to see what's a
tough-guy act and what's not?

- Get out of my fucking face.
- Don't push me, man.

Don't fucking get in my face!

- [ Indistinct shouting ]
- Enough! Enough!

You fucking kids!

Sit your grown asses down!
Sit!

Sit down!

- VINCENT: Ah, fuck.
- No one is leaving.

Not you, Christy, not anyone!

We're gonna sit tight
and wait until the morning

so no one else dies!

We are going to just lay down,

and we're gonna try
and get some sleep.

Y'all are gonna
wear yourselves out,

and that sadistic fuck
out there'll have an easy time

picking you off.

[ Christy sighs ]

Okay.

This is...

Oh.

Well, I knew they were
fixing to meet you,

but we got over here faster than
a knife fight in a phone booth.

So, uh, why don't you
just hang-a-dang

in this big old barn-sized room?

I'll see if I can rustle them up
for you.

Thanks.

Wow.
This place is big.

- Mm.
- Belongs to your new granddad.

Are you super excited
to meet your new parents?

I know they're so excited
to meet you.

And they want to make you
so happy in your new home.

A real mommy and daddy.

- They love me to bits.
- They sure do.

They said that... "to bits."

It's perfect, huh?

So listen...

I'm gonna visit you
a whole bunch to say hi

and make sure you feel
100% good here, okay?

Got it.

And just know
that it's totally normal to feel

a little bit funny
and nervous inside

when you're starting
a new family.

For everybody. For little girls
and mommies and daddies.

A-OK.

I know when I met my wife
and her two kids,

Jenn and Connor,
I felt that way.

And now
we're one big, happy family.

[ Aphra giggles ]

- Are you ready?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

SEAMUS:
She's over here.

- She's over...
- [ Christy laughs ]

Hi. Hi, Aphra.

Hi.
We're so happy to see you.

Hey.
I don't want to...

I don't want to scare you.

I just... just want to hug
your sweet little face.

- Daddy!
- She's so adorable.

I'm so glad you're here
with us, Aphra.

I'm so glad.

I feel like luckiest girl
in whole wide world.

I got my own parents now.

Yeah.

[ Christy laughs ]

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Clock chiming 4:00 ]

[ Tense music plays ]

I thought you were
gonna give me a handy.

I gave up when I couldn't
find anything.

Hmm. You're not taking
my fucking gun.

You want to join
Grace's pirate club?

I'd like it back
when you're done.

Yeah, sure.

The safety's on the side.

Up is safe.
Down is good to go.

Thanks.

Good luck.

[ Footsteps departing ]

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Suspenseful music playing ]

[ Birds calling in distance ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Aphra? Aphra?

Aphra, where are you?

[ Moaning softly ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Aphra crying softly ]

[ Groaning
and whimpering softly ]

Daddy only one who loved me.

No one love me!

[ Sobs ]

No one love me!

[ Screeches ]

- [ Screaming ]
- You hurt Daddy!

CHRISTY: Aphra, stop it!
Stop it!

Aphra, stop!
Stop! Stop!

Aphra! Oh, my God!
What are you doing?!

Aphra, what are you doing?!

Aphra?
Aphra, honey?

Honey, stop.
Give me that.

Okay?
Florence, I'm here.

- [ Moaning ]
- I'm gonna help you, okay?

I'm gonna help you.

What?
Aphra. No...

Aphra, what did you do?

But Florence...

Be quiet! Be quiet!
Be quiet!

Okay.
Florence, I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna help you, okay?

Oh, my God,
these fucking scissors!

Aphra!
Help me, please.

Aphra, cut the other one.

- [ Scissors snipping rapidly ]
- Fuck!

[ Florence screaming ]

CHRISTY: Ah!

Aphra!
Aphra, cut the other one!

Cut the other one!
Please help me!

Please help me!

Aphra, help me right now!

Get away! Get away!

Get away!

- Stay away!
- [ Gunshot ]

Fuck you!

[ Gunshot, trigger clicking ]

Florence, I'm so sorry.

[ Garbled ] Don't kill me!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Screaming ]

- [ Christy panting ]
- Me want to see!

[ Garbled ] Don't kill me...

[ Whimpering ]

[ Screams ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Screams ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Whimpers ]

[ Panting ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Screams ]

I'm free.
I'm free.

I won.

[ Mumbling ]

I won.
I won.

[ Charging footsteps ]

[ Groaning ]

Aah!

[ Squelching ]

[ Tense music plays ]

[ Gasps ]

We've got to get to the bunker!
Go! Go!

Go!

[ Suspenseful music playing ]

[ Whimpering ]

Get in! Get in!
Get in! Get in!

Get in!

Aah!
Oh, no!

Aah!

[ Beeps ]

[ Machinery whirring
and clanking ]

Bullets. There's got to be
bullets in here.

H-He go?

Yeah. Yeah.
He go.

[ Panting ]

- APHRA: We're gonna be okay?
- Uh-huh.

Mommy, what we do?

Mommy?
Mommy?

What were you doing out there
to Florence?

She killed Daddy.

But, honey,
you were torturing her.

Did you cut out her tongue?

But she killed my daddy.

No, Aphra, it was
that masked freak out there.

That's who killed him.

S-She no kill him?

A-Aphra bad?

Yes, it was a very bad,
bad thing to do, honey.

No. No.
No. No.

- No! No!
- Stop. Stop it.

Aphra, stop.
You're gonna hurt yourself!

You're gonna hurt yourself.

You're gonna hurt yourself,
sweetie.

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!

- Aphra, stop!
- [ Screaming ]

- Stop!
- [ Screaming ]

Bad!
[ Screaming ]

Aphra bad girl!
Bad! Bad!

Bad! Bad! Bad!
[ Screaming ]

Honey. Aphra.

- I'm sorry, honey.
- [ Sobbing ]

It's just to calm you down.
It's just to calm you down.

I'm so sorry.

It's just gonna calm you down.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Oh, me is bad.

Me. A-Aphra.

N-No one ever love...

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Clock ticking ]

Aphra?

[ Ticking stops ]

What? What? What?

I go in bed.

Yes, Aphra, sweetie.

Go... Go back to bed.

No.
I go in.

Oh.

[ Yawning ] It's all right,
sweetheart.

I want to sleep
with Daddy and Mommy.

Aw, we'll get you
to bed so fast

a-and get you some nice,
new clean sheets.

But I want to sleep with Daddy.

- But you're a big girl.
- It's okay.

[ Clears throat ]

You never sleep alone
at the orphanage, huh?

Alone is for bad girls.

You're not a bad girl.

It's okay this one time
because it's your first night.

- Come on! Ha ha!
- [ Giggles ]

Okay.
Family snuggle.

[ Aphra giggles ]

- Best daddy and mommy ever.
- [ Chuckles ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Screams ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Whispering ] Christy?

[ Normal voice ] Christy!

Christy's gone.

- What?
- Christy's gone.

It's fine.
She has my gun.

You gave her your gun
and let her go off by herself?

You wake up
with a paintball gun

pointed at your fucking eye.

Is that our thing now?

It's daylight.

We said we'd look
first thing in the morning.

GRACE: You did.

I'm not putting my neck
out there for someone

who should know better.

Well, we have to care for each
other, or we're gonna be lost.

You left your mother
out there to die.

Let's grab the knives
from the kitchen.

Go ahead.
She has my gun.

I already did my part.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Sobs softly ]

[ Phone unlocks ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Aphra giggling ]

SEAMUS: I know Mommy doesn't
like too much spice, but...

the special recipe,
the family recipe...

has a little bit more.

Try it.

- APHRA: It's hot.
- It's hot 'cause it's spicy.

- Hot.
- Yeah.

- [Giggles]
- Here.

Mm.
You try it.

Yeah?

[ Laughs ]

- SEAMUS: Alright?
- CHRISTY: [ Laughing ] No.

Here she is!

Wow.

Are you making us dinner,
sweetheart?

But it doesn't smell
like dinner.

- SEAMUS: What?
- CHRISTY: What is that?

What is that?

Is that Patches?

- Your squirrel?
- Mm-hmm.

But we... we buried him
yesterday.

We put dandelions on grave.

But raccoons eat lots of him.

[ Pot lid clinks ]

[ Sniffles ]

Poor Patches.

But... But... But why are you
cooking him, honey?

I take Patches bones
and paint gold

to keep with me always.

So it's like an art project.

- Right?
- Uh-huh.

Well, I think that's
very imaginative of you.

[ Both chuckle ]

Tag!
You're it.

- Whoo!
- [ Laughter ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Bird cawing ]

[ Birds calling ]

Christy?

Aphra?

We know they're out here.

[ Ominous music plays ]

Is that...

Oh, my God.

[ Panting ]

[ Music intensifies ]

[ Panting ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Squelching ]

[ Liv grunts ]

[ Structure clatters ]

[ Both gasp ]

[ Theo laughs ]

Killed by her own art.

The only actual poetic thing
she's ever done.

[ Sniffles ]
I know.

I shouldn't have...

[ Sniffles, cries ]

We all... We all left her
out here, okay?

I'm gonna be okay.

Like, really, I'm gonna...

[ Crying ] I'm gonna be okay.

Liv, you...
Fuck!

- Stop. Stop. Stop.
- Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

- Fuck.
- Hey!

You didn't do this.

But somebody did.

And whoever did,
that killer is still out here.

[ Aphra speaking
native language ]

Mommy and Daddy
don't suspect shit.

Long as I wax my legs,
we gonna be rich, Yorgi baby.

Oh, my God.

[ Exhales ]

Then you visit and fuck me
on bed of money

like hip-hop video.

Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

[ Rapping ]
♪ I the sneaky Aphra thief ♪

♪ You want to freaky fuck
with me? ♪

♪ Got my hands on the bills,
and my bands are worth mils ♪

[ Laughs ]

Oh, my God.

I miss you, baby.

[ Laughing ]

- Snoopers get hurt.
- [ Gasps ]

Parenting is
a lot less Gram-worthy

than millennials
make it out to be.

[ Chuckles ] The only people
that said it was easy

were Bruce and Graham.

Yeah, they have
a fucking nanny.

Exactly.

Oh, I don't know.
[ Exhales slowly ]

I'm kind of too wiped out
to fuck.

Um, we need to talk
about Aphra.

I mean, the social worker
warned us.

Everyone did.

The first year is tough.
It's not instant.

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

I mean, I'm... I'm trying
to love that girl.

Honey.
You're doing great.

Well, I don't think
I'm reaching her.

Like zero.

Well, we're the first parents
she's ever had.

Of course it's gonna be
a little tricky.

Well, it's not tricky, Seamus.
She's detached.

I don't know.
Where...

Where she's at is kind of...
it's kind of scary, really.

Scary?
[ Chuckles ]

Babe, she doesn't even know
what normal is.

She's practically a war child.

Well, exactly.
Exactly.

She's deeply traumatized,
and I...

I don't know that we're ready
for that.

Well, then we get ready.

You know, and we come at it
with love and openness,

and we learn.

She has serious problems,
Seamus.

She definitely needs
a full-time caregiver.

She might even need to be
in a facility.

- Oh, my God.
- It's the agency's fault.

They should've told us
what she was dealing with,

but they just wanted the money.

A-A-And look, like, parents
dissolve adoptions all the time.

- Dissolve?
- Yeah.

Are you looking that up?
Is that what you're looking up?

Are you looking at how
to return our child?

- I... I think...
- Oh, my God.

...that they should put her
into a facility.

Being a dad is not yet
another thing I'm gonna fail at.

Seamus...

I'll be damned
if that's gonna happen.

I am very worried about us.

Okay?
We can't handle the stress.

I know what it is like
to be emotionally abandoned

by your parents.

[ Sighs ]
I can't even...

I can't even imagine
what that poor girl

must feel like most of the time.

Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I brought it up.

I love her to bits.

And I'm not gonna add
to her suffering.

She is not someone I will
ever dissolve out of my life.

Who even are you?

Aphra, your daughter.

You're not our daughter.
You tricked us.

No, I want to be.

You're not 13.
Who are you really?

Aphra real name, from Moldova.
That all true.

So you took advantage of us,
of my s-sweet husband.

I poor.

Then get a job
as a fucking actor

'cause you're
clearly good at it!

I have nothing. No way for work,
no good English.

I trying to live.

What, by tricking people
who wanted

to help raise
and love a child?!

- I need help family back home.
- Oh, sure, your family.

You mean Big Dick Drago
or whatever the fuck

his name is
in this fucking video?!

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!

[ Crying ]

You must think
we're so fucking stupid,

falling for your bullshit!

Bragging... Bragging
about sucking us in!

Oh, God.

That old video,
before I know he good man.

Oh, my God.
I feel sick.

I feel sick.
I feel sick. Ugh.

Seamus only person who love me.
Ever.

And I'm the only woman
he ever loved.

What the fuck does that mean?

Did he know? Did you...
Did you two...

[ Gasps ]
Did you with him?

Did you?

You no see real Seamus.

Hey, I have been married to him
for over 10 years.

You fake wife.
He fucks men.

What?

Homosexualiste.

He's gay.

[ Sobbing ]

Why didn't he...
Why didn't he...

[ Aphra laughs ]

[ Giggling ]

[ Gasps and whimpers ]

I hide.

I see.

Touch myself.

- Aah!
- Aah!

- You stay back!
- [ Laughing ]

You stay the fuck back,

you nasty, paint-eating,
murder-selfie freak!

LIV: Jeez, we're running
out of room in here.

[ Grunts ] God.
Theo. Theo!

- VINCENT: Fuck.
- Theo, help.

GRACE:
God, this is crazy.

LIV:
That's news to you?

Shit.

GRACE:
Ugh, I can't believe it,

but with everything
that's happening,

we still
haven't brought Spencer down.

Oh, um,
I'll help you go get him.

Give you guys some time.

I don't want to be
stacked in here

with one of you guys
on top of me.

- Man, it's not going...
- Don't.

You can't say
it's gonna be okay, man.

You're right.

I wish Spencer
would've never found me.

And I was just
getting to know...

Hey, man...

I'm... I'm sorry.
I know you grew up, and...

Yeah.
And O'Keefe.

Look, my mom drove me nuts,
but I didn't want...

No, I get it.

Put her out there
to make a point, right?

Just to get it through
her thick skill, not...

I know.
I know.

Man, I thought it was safe.

I was sure she was the killer.

Yeah, well...

Maybe someone else moved him
somewhere downstairs?

Aphra, you stay away,
or I will fucking shoot you!

[ Whimpers ]

You right.

Let us talk, Mommy.

I don't want to talk to you,
you abomination!

- I want you out!
- [ Gun cocks ]

You get the fuck out!

[ Whimpers ]

You don't own me!
[ Screams ]

[ Both grunting ]

CHRISTY:
Stay away from me!

You rich bitches, saving kids!
[ Screams ]

- [ Squelching ]
- No, no, no!

No! Get off of me!
Get off of me!

- [ Laughing ]
- Why me?! Why me?!

[ Squelching ]

[ Screaming ]

Why are you doing this to me?!

[ Screaming ]

[ Crunching and squelching ]

Okay, all due respect
to the dead and everything,

I don't want to become one,

so our killer's got to be
Christy or Aphra.

Right?

- Christy?
- She took my gun.

Insisted that we all go out.
Why not?

Would she do that to Seamus?

Well, if she discovered
certain things.

Come on.

You're trying to tell me
she didn't know he was gay?

Jesus Christ!

This family of secrets,
I just...

You're one big secret.

No, Christy was with
me and Jayden

the first time
we saw the killer in the woods.

Yeah, it's not her.

And unless Aphra's on steroids,
it's not her either.

Well, one of us
could've snuck out.

Last night.

Before we woke up.

So much for the touchy-feely
shit in the cold room.

Well, you keep saying
I don't know you,

and I'm losing any sense

of what's right or normal
or even...

Possible.

We need to start a signal fire.

Mainland's 30 miles away.
No one will see it.

Then something big.

The boathouse?

We could.

The mansion.

This place.

Torch it.
Cleanse it with fire.

My home?

It's got to be worth, what,
like 15 mil?

It's my home.

It's where I raised Jayden.
Full of memories.

I'd be okay with erasing
every trace of this place.

Sorry, Grace.

Would it torch the forest too?

It might.

We're just choosing
ways to die.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Gasps ]

Oh...
Oh, my God.

Oh...

- [ Christy groaning ]
- Oh...

- Christy...
- [ Wheezing ]

LIV: Christy!

GRACE: Oh, no, no.

[ Christy gasping ]

- Christy...
- [ Christy sobs ]

[ Wheezing ]

- GRACE: Okay.
- [ Wheezing ]

Get me the first-aid kit.

Alright. Let me see.
Let me see.

These are bite marks.

[ Weakly ] A-Aphra did this.
Aphra did this.

- What, she's the killer?
- No. [ Wheezing ]

No, we ran from the killer.

Alright, honey. Alright.
Let me take a look. Just...

I know.
I know.

Do we not have anything
for pain?

No.
There's just the booze.

- [ Christy sobs ]
- Oh, shit.

Okay.
Oh, no, no, no.

- Let me see. Let me see.
- [ Sobbing ]

- [ Moaning ]
- Oh, honey, I know.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

[ Sighs ]

Your nerve's
been bitten through.

Oh, your artery's been nicked.

I'm gonna need antibiotics,
or she's gonna go septic.

[ Christy sobs and gasps ]

Kill me.

Please.
Kill me.

- No, no, no, no, no. Shh.
- Kill me. Kill me!

Christy, you're gonna be okay

as soon as we get you
to the hospital!

Tell her, Grace!

She's not gonna make it.

No, fuck this!
We're not giving up!

- Okay, we're not giving up!
- [ Wailing ]

We just need to stabilize her!

Just give her something
for her pain!

- We don't have anything!
- CHRISTY: I don't want pain.

[ Gasps ] Please, kill me.

- Shh. No, no, no.
- Kill me.

Please.

Kill me.

Please, kill me.
Please, kill me!

[ Sobs ]
Please!

[ Gunshot ]

Fuck this fucking place!

[ Gasps ]
Let's just burn it.

Burn it to the fucking ground!

- Theo!
- Let's get in that boat.

- Theo! Theo!
- Fuck.

[ Crying ]

[ Buoy bell dinging ]

[ Seagulls squawking ]

- The boat's not ready!
- It has to be!

No!
I couldn't fix it perfectly.

Just stop! You won't make it
to the mainland!

- I don't give a shit!
- LIV: Theo!

Those currents are gonna
take you out to the ocean.

Liv, come with me.

It's not safe!

I don't want to stay here
for one more fucking second!

- Fuck you. Shut the fuck up!
- Give me the fucking oar!

I'm not gonna let you die, man!

I'd rather die than spend
another second

being chased by
whoever the fucking killer is!

- Okay.
- [ Thudding ]

- No! Fuck! No!
- Stop it!

- Fuck! Fuck! No!
- Stop! Stop!

- Stop it. Theo.
- Fuck! Fuck you!

Theo...
