Slasher (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - Goldfinger - full transcript

[ Eerie music plays ]

[ Giggles ]

[ Giggles ]

I love you, Daddy.

What you do?

[ Giggling ]

What you do, Daddy?

What you do? Stop! Stop!

[ Screaming ]

Daddy!

Stop!



Daddy! [ Sobbing ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Theme music plays ]

[ Somber music plays ]

Sorry. Did I scare you?

THEO: Glad it's you,
not one of the others.

At this point, I'm not sure
which one of them

I should be more afraid of.

THEO: Gee, I don't know,
the middle schooler

who ate Christy's face off?

Except Aphra and Christy

ran away from the killer
together,

so Aphra's out.



Grace?

I mean, you saw her
after she shot Christy,

acting like nothing happened.

I don't think that's fair.

She's just too calm
about everything.

She did what she had to.

Christy was begging her.

Trust me, I've seen plenty
of soldiers shut down

because of the shit
they've seen.

Hell, I mean, look at us,
stacking bodies

like it's not completely insane.

She wouldn't kill Jayden.

She lived for him.

Or she pretended to.

You're avoiding the obvious.

I don't even know Vincent,
not really, not anymore.

So I'm not protecting him.

Well, he got creepy as soon
as he got alone with me.

He's weirdly calm.

He brought a gun
to meet his family,

a family that's led by a man
who refused to pay his ransom

and sent him off to live
with a bunch of strangers.

He even talks like a sociopath.

Plus we have no idea where
he was when Jayden was killed.

Well, he said
he was in the house.

If anyone had a reason
to kill my mom, it's him.

He's got lots of reasons
to hate all of us.

If you want to get off
this island alive,

you need to learn
to put your emotions aside.

You're one to talk.

I mean, you don't have any proof
that I'm not the killer.

Hell, maybe Vincent and I
are a killing duo.

Blood brothers.

[ Scoffs ] Come on.

And I don't have any proof
you're innocent, either.

Not really.

Well, we've been alone a lot
this weekend,

and we've always
made it out alive.

Maybe one of us is biding
his or her time,

waiting for the right moment
to pounce.

Or you don't want me
accusing your brother

so you're deflecting.

Or...

there's a reason we trust
each other no matter what.

I mean, it can't just be me.

Not after all this time.

[ Soft music plays ]

What are you doing?

I don't care who your father is.

I don't care about
anything other than...

We can't.

Everyone we love is just...

lying here.

Of course.

Sorry.

Uh, we should...

go find the others.

Keep close.

[ Sighs ]

THEO: Where'd you run off to?

I just went for a smoke.

Oh.

I'm sorry, was that answer
not to your liking?

Just...
never seen you smoke before.

[ Sighs ]

Well...

seeing as how my son died and...

my husband killed himself

by organizing a game of
hide and go murder

and I had to shoot
a family member

after she got mauled
by her child,

you know, I figured it'd be okay
to light up a fucking cigarette

after 30 years
off the damn things.

What about you two?

You've been spending
a whole lot of time together.

We were in the cold room,

putting Christy in.

Bet you were keeping it warm.

Where's Vincent?

He took his gun,

said he was gonna go
hunt down Aphra.

Yeah, sounded shady to me, too.

[ Ominous music plays ]

Motherfucker.

[ Ominous music plays ]

THEO: Did you find Aphra?

Parts of her.

Sawed in half
and scattered in the woods.

Anyways, she got what
she deserved and then some.

Gives a whole new meaning
to the word "fucked."

[ Dramatic music plays ]

That ring on your finger.
Where'd you get that?

Found it in the forest
by Aphra.

What, was it Spencer's?

No, it's Merle's.

Wait, how do you know
it belonged to Merle?

'Cause he's worked for me
for years.

Oh, what, that's a bad thing,
that I pay attention

to the people
who work for this family?

I worked for this family.

Oh, okay.

So why don't you tell me
one thing you know about me?

My birthday. That's easy.

I don't know Theo's birthday.

You were fucking him.

Your husband was dying

and you were having an affair
with some townie meathead?

Let me guess, Theo.

You have an opinion
on my private life.

Go ahead, judge away.

You always do.

This... This is why
our family's so fucked up!

All anyone cares about is
what's in their best interest.

GRACE: Best interest?

I was the wife of
an 80-year-old psychopath!

And if Granddad knew,

there's no way he would've
kept you in his will.

GRACE: Ha! If he knew?

Oh, Theo, he encouraged me

to fuck that
sexy man's brains out.

You're lying.
You're a fucking liar!

Oh, honey.

I'm so sorry
to burst your bubble.

Sometimes...

he even watched.

Our marriage worked a lot better

once we, you know,
allowed such things.

So your marriage was a sham.

It was an arrangement.

If you ever find yourself
married,

I think you'll see
most of the good ones are.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

ANNETTE: [ Labored breathing ]

GRACE: Is that helping?

Should cool down the hot flashes
the chemo's giving you.

I'm not gonna be able
to fight much longer.

Oh, don't say that.

Doctors are taking
good care of you.

I can't go on.

I can't.

Shh. It's okay.

Spencer can't be left alone.

He'll destroy himself,

and he'll take the family
with him.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Oh...

I guided his ambition.

I tempered his demands.

I shielded the kids
from his anger.

Well, they're lucky to have you.

Without me,
the family will crumble.

The business will crash.

Mrs. Galloway, don't.

What Spencer needs to survive

is a strong woman.

And not just any strong woman.

Being... the force that holds
that power together...

...it takes great strength.

And I've seen that strength
in you, Grace.

[ Crying ]

Thank you.

But you'll get better, I swear.

This new chemo regimen
is revolutionary.

It's a difficult task,

guiding power.

Holding it accountable.

But it's by far
the most important one.

Do you understand, Grace?

Yeah? Good.

We all knew this family
meant nothing to you.

LIV: Jesus, Theo.

Stop judging her.
She's human.

There's no excuse.

LIV: Spencer was selfish.

And cruel.

If Grace found a way
to take care of herself,

then she had every right to.

Thank you, Liv.

This doesn't make us allies.

I understand that.

Do you?

You treated my mother
like she was less than dirt.

Your mother and I...

we made peace with each other.

You were at the bottom
of the murder ladder

and you made an alliance
to stay safe.

You did what you had to
to survive,

and that is why you're here

and she's rotting
in the cold room.

[ Bell tolling ]

VINCENT: That fucking sound.

THEO: Where's it coming from?

It sounds different.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Bell tolling ]

GRACE:
It's coming from over here.

Got it.

[ Bell tolling ]

VINCENT: This ought
to be interesting.

Congratulations.

You've made it to
the penultimate challenge

as the remaining champions.

You've proven yourselves to be
the best of our clan,

and for that,
you should be proud.

But you can't let that
go to your heads.

Whoever inherits my fortune

must have brawn and brains
in equal measure.

It's an intelligence test.

SPENCER: Players will be trapped

in separate chambers
in the basement,

each containing
the same set of puzzles.

The first to answer them all
wins.

The last...
Well, at this point,

you should know
what the loser gets.

LIV: I can't.

I can't play any more
of these games.

Fuck this.

There's gotta be something...

Past few days,
how many people have died?

You know as well as I do
there isn't anything

any of us can do except play.

There's nine hours
till the supply boat arrives.

If we stick together,
we'll get back to mainland.

If it's about playing the game
or surviving, I say we survive.

Of course you do.

You can't win this game.

You actually wanna play,
after everything.

Look, I earned my spot
at this table.

[ Scoffs ]

GRACE:
And it's an intelligence test.

Of course I wanna fucking play.

Sticking together is the only
way that we survive.

It's not the only way.

Let me explain this to you

in a way you might
actually understand, okay?

We are going to be locked
in separate chambers

with a serial killer
on the loose.

We'll be vulnerable.

You'll have no idea
what I'm doing

and I'll have no idea
what you're doing.

It's not safe.
I'm sorry, Grace.

It's three against one.
Competition's over.

No, you don't tell me
what to do.

Back up.
What are you doing?

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Back the fuck up.

LIV: No one else is dying.

GRACE: Get off me!

THEO: Put her in
Granddad's room.

There's a lock on the door.
She'll be safe there.

Just calm down,
it's only a couple hours.

GRACE: Get off me! Get off me!

You fucking...
You fucking cheaters!

VINCENT:
Left, right, left, right.

GRACE: No!

You're doing this for the money!

I knew you were!

Aah!

No!

[ Banging on door ]

Let me out!

Fuck!

Fucking parasitic
waste of fucking space!

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Oh...

[ Gasping ]

Fuck!

[ Creaking ]

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Sobbing softly ]

[ Somber music plays ]

This isn't what she wants.

Who the hell do you think
you are, coming in here?

Get the fuck out of this house.

Annette doesn't want you
locked up in your room, crying.

Annette?

You're on
a first-name basis now?

She needs you to be a man.

To carry on the legacy
she helped build.

Now, the only way that
she's gonna be able

to move on in peace

is if she knows you won't let
your anger derail you

from being the leader
you've always been.

[ Soft music plays ]

If you crumble, who takes over?

Are either of your kids
good enough?

Rough tides turn sailors
into captains.

So don't let the family drown.

Your wife is just down the hall.

[ Soft music plays ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

THEO: I can't hear Grace
upstairs anymore.

Maybe she gave up fighting.

She's safe up there.

Is she?

As long as neither of you
go wandering off.

Us?

Crazy idea.

'Cause it's just me
doing this stuff, right?

Long as I know where you are,
you know where I am,

she's locked tight,
we're good.

Then no one can do shit.

So let it go.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Door slams shut ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Alarm rings ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whirring ]

No!

Shit!

26. [ Muttering ]

26. Fuck, fuck!

Fuck!

Okay.

[ Alarm rings ]

[ Whirring ]

"Nine ungrateful family members
came out to play.

Unaware a killer's gonna
make them pay.

One will win.
Eight will lose.

Who's the killer?
You must choose."

[ Rumbling ]

Hi.

Your vitals are stabilizing.

This new chemo regimen.

You were saying
it's like a miracle.

I feel like a new person.

I mean, it's still early days,

but my oncologist is hopeful.

That's good news, right?

It's great, Mrs. Galloway.

I...

I was dramatic before.

That talk about taking over...

GRACE: Oh, it's perfectly
understandable.

I can't imagine
what you think of me.

Hey, is it too late
to blame the painkillers?

Actually, I think
it made a lot of sense.

ANNETTE: Mm.

GRACE: You were right.

Spencer needs a strong woman.

Yeah. Yes, he does.

And the cancer
is making you weak.

But that was just the fever
talking the other night.

I'm feeling better.

Did you know that they don't
do autopsies on cancer patients?

They don't.

They just assume
the cancer killed you.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

What...
What are you talking about?

GRACE: Well, since no one's home
and you're in so much pain...

It won't hurt.

No! No! No!

Stop that right now!

No!

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

GRACE: Jayden was first.

Seamus was next.

VINCENT: Aren't we cozy?

Huh?

[ Chuckling ]

Chill.

I'm just gonna go for a piss.

[ Tense music plays ]

Seriously?

[ Laughs ]

If I was gonna slit your throat,
I would've done it already.

You suck at sounding innocent.

Why so suspicious, Liv?

Why do you think, Vincent?

She's not the only one.

Maybe I don't like putting on
a big show for everyone.

Oh, so this isn't a big show?

Well, this place,
this weekend, this family...

doesn't really seem
like the place

to put your cards
on the table, does it?

Right.

Makes more sense than
acting all nervous like you.

The guy that pretends to be nice
all the time

and then just
sends his own mother

out there to be slaughtered?

Yeah.

You and your mom sure know
how to pick 'em.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Rumbling ]

Kill her own mother.

Theo and Jayden loved
each other from day one.

Oh...

Oh...

But you were with me
when Seamus was killed.

Oh...

[ Panting ]

[ Gasps ]

The killer isn't one of us.

- [ Glass cracking ]
- Fuck!

[ Glass breaks ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Whirring ]

[ Chuckles ]

Yes!

[ Tense music plays ]

GRACE: Separated for 25 years

and still on
the same piss schedule?

That's almost cute.

How did you get out
of Spencer's room?

Oh, honey, I did a whole lot
more than that.

I went to the basement.

I played the game.

And I won.

What?

And I won.

I'm the most Galloway
of any of us.

And you never saw it.

'Cause of the color of my skin,

and I was just a poor nurse.

Good job, Grandma.

There's just one more step
in this round.

Find a door for this key and...

We get it.

You win.

I win.

And I signed
the losers' death warrant.

And you thought
I was the crazy one.

See, right now,
all three of you are the losers.

You might want to reconsider
sitting this game out.

'Cause for sure it is not gonna
end well for one of you.

[ Tense music plays ]

Fuck.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Door unlocks ]

[ Creaking ]

[ Gasping softly ]

THEO: Maybe she's right.

Maybe we should play.

LIV: It's too late...
Grace already won.

You guys gonna start playing
hopscotch of death without me?

That's not very nice.

I'd come in last.

We all know what happens
to losers around here.

How are you so chill
about all this?

LIV: Come on.

Put your cards on the table
for once, Vincent.

This whole dark enigma act
is getting pretty boring.

I've got a gun, so...

that's why I'm pretty chill.

But I've also got a theory,
so...

listen up, kids.

The rules of this game
are pretty simple, right?

Whoever comes in first wins;

whoever comes in last,
well, you know...

But if there's only
one person competing,

aren't they then technically,
well, first and last?

That's crazy.
That's not how this works.

Says who?

Based on what?

I ain't competing,
so I ain't losing.

And assuming you two take
your heads out of your asses

and sit this one out,

then last place goes
to Grandma Chuckles.

If he's right about this,
then...

THEO: She's gonna die.

[ Footsteps retreat ]

[ Eerie music plays ]

It will all be okay.

She left knowing
she could trust you...

that her legacy
was in good hands.

She knew I would be here.

Here for you.

For anything you need.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckling ]

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Groans ]

[ Liquid bubbling ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Please...

No! No!

[ Screaming ]

[ Sizzling sound ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Footsteps approach ]

LIV: Grace! Grace! Grace!

Grace!

It won't budge!

[ Banging on door ]

Grace!

Grace!

On my count. Ready?
One, two, three!

What the fuck?

[ Soft music plays ]

There's been a shadow of grief
over this house

for far too long.

We've always been a family
that keeps forging ahead,

looking to the future,

which is why I'm happy
to announce that, today,

we are entering a new era
of Galloway history.

I've decided to take Grace
as my wife.

And I trust you'll accept her
with open arms.

To Grace.

- To Grace.
- To Grace.

SPENCER: To Grace.

[ Ominous music ]

How did they do it?

There's only one way into
this room, and it was locked!

Maybe they were waiting in here.

That's not my point.
My point is, where did they go?

They didn't get past any of us.

There's gotta be a passageway,
right?

Where is it?

Granddad sealed them off
when we were kids

to keep us from snooping,

but there's gotta be one
around here.

We're innocent.

None of us are the killer.

Yeah, Liv, me too.

Unless I can be in two places
at once.

You were wrong about me, man.

Feel free to apologize.

No?

Well, I'm gonna start thinking
of myself as the good brother.

You know, easygoing,
non-judgmental...

Just check behind the artwork.

- [ Eerie music plays ]
- [ Vincent scoffs ]

LIV: Over here!

The house was built
last century,

but look at the lighting.

Electric cables.

This is new.

Killer didn't spare a dime
on his murder spree, did he?

The killer didn't do this.

Spencer had this built.

Just look at the cables here.

They gotta link
to the only other places

with electricity...
the boathouse.

- The bunker.
- Sure, the bunker.

I bet that's where this
crazy fuck's been

hiding out this whole time.

Should we... I mean, is it crazy
for us to go down there?

Kinda.

Taking a shit's dangerous
on this island.

I'm tired of waiting around
for this fucker to jump on us.

So let's take a tour.

I'd rather face him head on.

I got a gun.

I'll cut through the woods
outside the bunker.

We take this end.

Yeah,
if we hurry and we're lucky,

we can push the killer out.

Then I'll pop him.

See you on the other side,
brother.

[ Eerie music plays ]

I really hate this.

- Small spaces?
- Death.

Walking right to the killer.

Well, like Vincent said...

nowhere's safe.

You know, this was always
the worst part...

back when I was serving.

That moment before the danger.

Right before you head
into the action.

Yeah?

Once the bullets are flying,

you're so high
on adrenaline that...

you can do things sometimes
without even thinking about it.

But that moment right before,

when you know shit's
gonna hit the fan,

and you can feel
yourself breathing...

that's the worst.

Like right now.

LIV: Like right now.

You know, I came back here
because...

this was the closest thing
I had to a home,

and now my home's
trying to kill me.

THEO: After Vincent
was kidnapped,

I've felt like life could
slip away just like that.

- Yeah.
- So I shielded myself,

kept safe, avoided things.

Fake safety's better
than no safety.

That's bullshit.
Anything can happen anytime.

None of us are ever truly safe.

Should've embraced the Galloway
fearlessness earlier.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Now come on out, you fucker.

Come on, you fuck.
Come on, come on, come on.

[ Creaking ]

Careful.
Stay behind me.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

All clear.
There's nobody here.

THEO: Well, not nobody, exactly.

LIV: Oh, guess that's bits of...

THEO: Christy.

LIV: Yeah.

Aphra's leftovers.

I mean, it looks like
a run-of-the-mill panic room,

built by a crazy millionaire.

THEO: [ Scoffs ]

The killer's been watching us

this whole fucking time.

LIV: Theo, look.

This one's just outside
the bunker.

I-It's live, right?

Vincent's right there.

Should we wave him in?

LIV: What's that?
Back there.

- THEO: Fuck! It's him!
- LIV: It's him!

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Grunting ] Fuck!

Fucking get him off of me!

He's got a wire saw!
Fuck!

[ Dramatic music continues ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Dramatic music continues ]

Let's split up.
I'll take the tunnel.

You guys hit the house.

Let's get the fucker.

[ Dramatic music continues ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

There's blood on the pillar.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

LIV: [ Grunting ]

[ Screams ]

[ Knife clatters ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

VINCENT: Who is it?

Get his mask off.

[ Dramatic music ]

Dr. Trinh?

[ Tense music plays ]

[ Tense music continues ]
