The Flight Attendant (2018): Season 1, Episode 5 - Other People's Houses - full transcript

Why are you putting

the lights up so early?

It's just now November.

'Cause I'm fucking festive,

that's why.

Hey, grab my hammer and bring

it up to me, would ya?

Oh, my God,

what is your problem?

Get the hammer.

Get up here.



He's a scaredy cat, Dad.

You know what?

I think he might be, sweetie.

You wanna help me out?

Why thank you.

That was hard, wadn't it?

Ah, shit!

Dad!

"Dad!

Dad!"

How did you become

such a goddamn pussy?

Hey.

Why don't go get me



another beer,

and get yourself one too, okay?

Just keep it hidden

like I showed you

from your mom, all right?

F

Your dad is such an asshole.

Just an early morning beer?

Come on, you can't even tell

what time of day it is.

Mom, look at this!

Oh, my God.

This is the moment

that I wanted to be

a flight attendant.

This exact moment.

What?

You...

You found

this inspirational?

Flight 7997.

It was a miracle

that no one died,

an absolute miracle.

This is unbelievable.

Yeah.

The lead flight attendant

was Cheryl McAdams.

She was all over the news

and in the paper.

She made everyone feel so safe

during the worst moment

of their lives.

I wanted to be just like her.

All I wanted to do

was help people.

You got another one?

Really?

I have some questions.

Your client is a witness

in this event.

She saw a woman

commit suicide this morning.

Is there really

much more to say?

Also, what is the FBI

doing on the scene?

We go where she goes,

and I'd like to ask,

Ms. Bowden,

what happened before

you came downstairs?

Sabrina!

You have no idea

what's going on.

Cassie, just let me

handle this.

Truly, no idea.

Cas.

According to tenants

in the building,

you were harassing the victim

minutes before this happened.

I thought someone was

attacking her inside, okay?

The shredded documents that

we taped together told us...

Taped?

Scotch Tape, and please

don't give me that face.

It's actually the only reason

we figured out

that Lionfish is using jets

to smuggle weapons.

Oh, and the Sokolovs

are laundering money

through Unisphere.

Annie, we figured that out too,

right?

No, uh...

And Miranda,

who I already told you about,

who chased me on a train,

did this to Sabrina, okay?

Because Sabrina spoke to me.

So basically, I'm...

starting to think

this is my fault.

She means metaphorically.

That was not

an admission of guilt.

Do you have any proof

of this?

You know what?

Thank you.

Special Agent White,

this was a courtesy,

as the NYPD was done with her.

So we're gonna be leaving now.

Good-bye.

Look, I know you just saw

some horrible shit again,

but what the actual fuck,

Cassie?

Annie, I don't think she's...

Shh.

Look, I don't know

if you realize it,

but you just said all of that

shit about Unisphere out loud.

You know, the stuff that

I very secretly told you,

the stuff that I'm legally

not allowed to know?

Uh, so that could blow up

in my face.

I don't know

if you thought about that,

or if that crossed your mind,

or... where are you going?

Annie,

give her a second.

Listen, I messed up, Annie,

I know that,

but that was not suicide.

Somebody killed her.

It was probably Miranda,

and I don't want to be next.

I don't want

you to be next either.

Stop walking.

Cassie!

Where are you going?

You literally don't have

anywhere to go.

You're right.

Right.

Jesus, Cas.

Okay, shh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Look.

I am not trying to say

that you have to do this alone.

I am trying to help you.

Will you please

just let me help you?

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

F

She's lucky to have you

pick up all the pieces, huh?

Do you...

Do you believe her

about all this?

Hello?

Good morning, Ms. Mouradian.

Regarding the recent favor

you requested,

I'd love to meet today

to discuss

your current outstanding debts.

Certainly.

I understand.

I'll text you the address.

3:00 P.M.

Punctuality appreciated.

Of course.

Work stuff?

You asked if I believe her?

She has no photos,

she has no witnesses to...

Um, and there's the drinking.

Um...

She's my best friend, and

I really want to believe her,

and that's currently

where I'm at right now.

I mean, I helped her

put those papers together.

I think there's

something there.

I think something at least.

Well, um, look, Max, I love

that you both believe that,

but sometimes trash

that you get excited about

is still just fucking trash,

okay?

Um, I have to go.

It's so early.

It's 2:00 in the afternoon.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Annie had a work thing.

Yeah, gimmie that.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Oh, my God.

Max, I really fucked up.

Move.

I mean God, babbling

to the FBI about Unisphere.

That could be very bad

for Annie.

Just, like, so bad.

Ah, nah, she'll definitely...

It's Annie.

She'll be...

She'll be fine.

Max.

Shit, what do you want me

to say, Cassie?

She was, like, upset,

really upset,

and... I don't know,

maybe even a little scared.

Okay, fuck, oh, my God.

I hate hearing that.

Okay, okay, let's think.

Let's think.

Um, you already

got all that info

that Unisphere is doing

illegal things,

so if you got that again...

I wouldn't be able to hack

into Unisphere again

from the outside.

I tried.

They bulked up their security.

If maybe I could get inside

on one of

their actual computers, then...

No, no, can't, nope.

See, I already went there

and gave a fake name and broke

an expensive piece of art.

I'm not allowed

back there ever.

Then shit, I don't know

what to tell you.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Your hands are shaking.

Alex, this is

really, really bad.

Yeah, well,

things were already bad,

so technically,

they'd be worse now.

Are you serious?

I mean, I know what

you're thinking, Cassie,

but this isn't your fault.

What happened to me

isn't your fault.

What happened

to Sabrina isn't...

We don't know that, okay?

What's happening to Annie?

That is my fault.

If she gets disbarred,

her life is over.

She'll have to move back

to Queens,

live with her mom.

That's on me.

What can I do?

I'm out of leads.

I have no answers!

What am I supposed to do!?

Shh.

Just breathe.

Better?

Yeah.

If you try something,

it could just make it worse.

I have to help Annie.

I live in a shoebox.

It's a competition?

Yes, major, tell me

all about your fancy house.

Tell me, go, tell.

All right, all right.

I can work from home.

Mm.

It's in a great location.

It's got killer views.

Really?

What kind of views?

The doorman doesn't think so.

He stand out front all day

staring at the Vessel,

this giant sculpture.

He hates it.

I can work from home...

Whoa, why do you have

crazy eyes?

Um, okay, wait.

I think I have an idea

that could clean

this whole mess up

and also get Annie off the hook

at the exact same time.

That sounds too good

to be true,

so I'm gonna just remove myself

from the situation.

No, no, listen to me.

There's a way we can get info

without actually

going back to Unisphere,

but it's gonna require

your help and um, you know,

us doing some

semi-questionable stuff.

See, this is

the kind of thing

where I usually really want

to say yes...

Yes!

You just said it.

No, no, Annie won't like any

"semi-questionable" things,

and you know,

I really care about her,

so I'm trying to be on my best

behavior here, so please...

Okay, I get it, Annie is

everything to me, okay?

She's the only reason

I would ever join,

I don't know, a book club

or go kitchen shopping

when I don't even fucking cook.

'Cause it's Annie, right?

I cannot be the reason

that she gets in trouble.

So you have

to help me help her.

For Annie.

Okay, he said it was, like,

a new tallish building

with a doorman

that is staring at...

Oh, my God.

Doorman.

That's gotta be him.

That's gotta be the...

Yes, this is it.

Okay, Max, here's what

we're going to do.

We are going to sneak

into Alex's apartment.

Wait.

What?

You mean break

into his apartment?

Uh, no... well, yes.

Look, if he worked from home,

there's a computer

in there, right?

There could be

a lot of things in there,

like security systems,

or attack dogs,

or whoever killed this Alex guy

in the first place.

Okay, listen,

if there are attack dogs,

they haven't eaten in days.

They're gonna be very weak.

Okay, wait, what about all

the other stuff I just said?

Look, we're safer in there

than we are out here,

especially with Miranda

lurking around.

Plus we get to his computer,

we can get all the information

and put it on this.

Ha!

See, I feel like

I should enjoy that

because it's adorable,

but it doesn't feel cute

in this moment.

The whole crew got them

as gifts in Tokyo.

It lives in my purse because

who needs a flash drive?

A lot of people

need flash drives.

Right, exactly, us.

Right now.

It's, like, fate.

Aw, no, no, I do not like

that I'm actually starting

to listen to you.

Drink this

and calm the fuck down.

Let's get some answers.

Hello.

How may I help you?

Hi, my name is,

um, Alessandra,

and this my husband Brandon.

And my brother lives here.

Well, he did live here.

He actually died.

His name is Alex Sokolov.

Oh, my condolences.

I'm so sorry.

Alex was such a nice man.

Oh, that is so kind.

Isn't that so kind?

So our parents are having

a really rough time

getting through this,

so I'm sorting out

my brother's affairs,

and I would love to get

into his apartment.

We will not be long.

I do not want to be staring

at that monstrosity

any more than we need to.

I mean, that

is such an eyesore.

Mm.

It is.

You obviously have good taste.

He obviously has good taste,

huh?

So his apartment was 901.

No, honey, that was another

apartment that he lived in.

This one...

It's 1115.

1115.

That's what I was gonna say.

You know, you are so wonderful.

Thank you so much.

We're just so...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, it's Cassie.

I'll probably call you back.

Mom!

One second, sweetie.

Hi.

All right, come on.

Hello, go ahead.

We don't have all day.

I break into computers,

not homes.

Oh, my God please tell me

you know how this works.

Only that it requires

a multi-digit code.

It could be one

of a billion configurations.

God.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

When I was in Westchester

at Alex's,

there was a sticky note

that said,

"7226."

Ha!

How do you remember that?

Flight 7226 is JFK

to Johannesburg.

I know my flights.

What the...

Okay, this is kind of exciting,

but we should definitely

get it done.

Hmm.

You're nervous.

What if there are things

about you in here

that I don't want to know?

Wait, you think you'll

unravel all my dark secrets

by seeing what brand

of olives I buy?

I'm good with details.

You know, you could

just go home.

Is that my apartment?

Here we go!

Mr. Toad's wild ride

of New York real estate.

Who will Alex Sokolov

turn out to be?

Cassie, focus.

Come on, the computer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is Cecilia.

Hi, it's me.

Oh, I'm sorry, you're gonna

need to be more specific.

The "me" who's

in direct violation of Victor

or the "me" who's putting

her life and mine in jeopardy

by casually calling me?

Both, I suppose?

This is not a joke, Miranda.

Unisphere receptionist,

Sabrina,

had some useful information.

Cassandra Bowden

uses an alias,

Alessandra Ricci,

and apparently Alex had

some private workstation

in his apartment

that I didn't know about.

I need to see if it has

a record of what he took.

Stop.

Cecilia, if I could stop,

but this is my fuck-up,

and I need to be the one

who fixes it.

This is personal.

And you know how agitated I get

when something is unfinished.

No, no, no,

I mean actually stop.

I will not do anything else.

Victor said,

"Get on a plane and get home,"

so get on a fucking plane.

If I may, I would like to

express my sincere gratitude.

How is your friend,

the one we assisted

with the phone call

to the Sokolov family?

She's okay.

Uh, thank you.

Well, mostly.

She's mostly okay.

So you will take this

into Claverack.

Hand-deliver it to one

of your firm's clients,

Jozef Jasar.

You'll tell him that his family

will be taken care of.

I could be disbarred.

I could be arrested.

I would be useless to you

in that case.

Well we suggest, then,

that you don't get caught

delivering the message.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Um, I can't do that.

Is there...

Is there another way?

Is there another option?

We are reasonable.

You may pass on this task

if you wish,

and we will happily

give you another.

But understand,

the next one

will be more difficult.

Cassie!

Cassie, I found it!

Okay, this is a direct link

to the external server

in his office.

Password.

Okay, password.

Wait, wait, wait.

West914.

That has to be it.

Yeah, people are so lazy

with their security.

F

What, a second passcode?

It requires

two-factor authentication.

It'll be

a randomly-generated number

sent to an app on his phone

and probably a fob.

What do you mean?

Like, a key fob?

Yeah,

with a little screen on it.

I can't get into this.

Ugh!

The fob will probably be

in the apartment.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay, well, let's find it.

Oxycodone.

Very fun.

Why do none of these women

have faces?

Is this Alex guy, like,

a serial killer or something?

I'll check the closet.

Vintage fetish collection...

In chronological order.

Getting less sexy.

Well, that's your opinion.

Don't you think this is all

unusual and a tad unexpected?

Wow, you are

quite obsessive, huh?

Oh, I see.

This apartment

is telling a story, right?

Well, wrong.

This is just...

They're just things, okay?

And because you're using

the fob as an excuse

to snoop around, now all

that stuff is in here too.

Okay, whatever.

I wasn't using the fob

as an excuse.

You're judging me.

You have a taxidermy

baby polar bear

in your apartment.

What the fuck is that?

Maybe it was a gift

from my dad.

He had one, remember?

Oh, okay,

and what about the metric ton

of Oxy I found

from different doctors

with different names on them.

They don't even belong to you!

What are you, addicted?

Are you a drug dealer?

What?

I don't fucking know,

and neither do you,

but you know what?

I'm really sorry I'm not

living up to your expectations.

Oh, my expectations?

Yeah.

How would you like it if I

waltzed through your apartment

and started piecing things

together without any context?

Wh...

I travel a lot.

Things spoil.

I can't fill the fridge.

Well, to me it looks like

a person that can't care

for herself as an adult.

Those are complimentary.

Oh.

Oh, this is actually

pretty self-explanatory.

This says alcoholic.

This image actually

undermines my argument

because it's

so fucking obvious.

So I drink a little bit.

I'm an adult.

I don't have a problem.

You got in bed with me,

and you didn't noticed

I'd been killed.

The problem wasn't

that I was drunk,

the problem was that you

did some sneaky shit

and got yourself killed.

It's not a problem for you?

Was it a problem for your dad?

And remember,

I've seen his funeral.

Alex.

This is not fun, is it?

Stop.

Because to me,

this says you're very much

your father's daughter.

Stop!

And you can't do any...

Fuck you!

I am not an alcoholic!

You want a show?

Fine.

I'll put on a show for you.

Is this the image

you have of me, Alex?

Does this look right to you?

You son of a bitch.

Max!

Max, I think I found it!

What?

Is this it?

Oh, bingo.

Okay.

What was that?

What was that?

I don't know.

Fuck.

Oh, my God.

Of course.

Is that Miranda?

That's Miranda!

Shh.

Damn it!

Shh!

So much for being safer here.

Oh, my God.

This is useless.

It's completely destroyed.

Don't be such a pessimist.

Agh!

Oh, my God, Max.

Wait, I think... I think

I found something.

We don't need

the fucking computer.

All right, we have to be ready

for anything

when we get to Lionfish.

If we can even get inside.

Why do you keep looking

over your shoulder?

It's a thing I do now.

Cassie!

Buckley?

What?

Hi.

Yeah, afternoon run,

but I was just thinking

about you, and here you are.

Yeah, um...

I feel like the universe

is telling us to hang out.

That was lame.

I'm sorry.

Forget I said that.

Is everything okay

with your friend last night?

Oh, my God.

I never texted you back.

I'm sorry, I've been, like...

It's all good.

You're busy, I get it.

It's okay.

Are you guys...

Oh, God, ew, no.

That's just Max.

Ew?

Sorry.

Max.

Buckley.

'Sup, man.

How do you guys

know each other?

We're actually

in a huge rush.

Work, airplane stuff,

but I'm gonna text you back

this time, for real,

and we're gonna hang out.

Okay.

I promise, okay?

But we gotta go.

Okay.

Bye.

Call Diana Carlisle, cell.

Yes?

Diana, they asked me

to smuggle

a small envelope into...

I told you.

I don't wanna hear about it.

Any arrangement you've made

is your business.

I just...

I thought that maybe

if you told me

that you needed me to come back

to the office right now,

then maybe I wouldn't have to...

No.

It is better

that I don't know any of this.

And Jesus, Annie,

discussing it on the phone...

f.

Hey.

Thanks for this.

How does a suicide

hook you guys?

Was there a suicide note?

No.

But you'd be surprised.

About 1/3 of them

don't leave notes.

That's one of those

romantic TV notions.

She was seeing a therapist.

Seeing a therapist

doesn't equate to suicide.

I see a therapist.

Me too.

Not that it's helpin'.

Half-folded laundry

on the bed.

Who kills themselves in

the middle of doing laundry?

New bolt on the door.

She didn't want someone

getting in.

Maybe she was being harassed.

That woman who called 911,

there's a lot of reports of her

banging the door down,

screaming.

Quite the spectacle.

Bill.

What...

What are you doing at a motel?

Well, first of all,

please don't use that tone

with me, William Briscoe, okay?

No, no, no, and second,

why are you following me?

I'm not following you.

I'm... no, I'm driving

to the steakhouse for lunch,

and I see you standing in

the parking lot of this... this...

It's motel, Bill.

It's a low-rent motel.

So?

I was going

to surprise you

with a sexy birthday surprise,

but you just ruined it.

My birthday's next week.

Duh.

That's why this is a surprise.

I was gonna bring you

here tonight

for some dirty roleplay,

but forget it.

Okay?

Just forget it.

Wow.

That sounds okay.

Can... that... that sounds good.

Can we do...

Can we do that?

I wanna do that.

Yes.

Wait a minute.

What did you think

I was doing at this motel?

Did you think

that I was having an affair?

No.

Honey, you don't trust me

after 20-plus years

of marriage?

No, no, no, no, no.

Of course I do.

Honey, I am so sorry.

It's fine.

It's okay.

You sure?

Yes.

I love you.

Hey, I love you too.

But next time you see me

standing in a parking lot

of a motel, don't be stupid.

Okay.

I'm'na see you back home.

I'm gonna go cancel the room.

Aw.

Not the dirty roleplay,

though.

Bye, honey.

See you at home.

Whoa.

Is this everything?

It's an empty office up front

and nothing in here.

This is the big, scary company?

All right, come on.

Door, let's go.

Shit.

How are we supp...

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Is that a lockpick?

Yep.

I thought you said

you didn't know how to do that.

I just didn't like that you

made assumptions about me.

Yes.

Shh.

It's okay.

Upstairs?

Yeah.

Fuck yes.

This is a gift.

Remove your jackets,

your shoes.

All other personal items,

place them into the bin

and head through.

All electronic devices

go into a separate bin.

F

This your jacket?

Yes.

I said all electronics

should go into a separate bin.

You grab those

on the way out.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Next.

I know you?

I'm a lawyer

at the firm

that represents you.

I work with your lawyer,

Martin.

I reviewed your case,

and you should know

that Martin is doing

an amazing job for you.

Good.

I am happy with him.

Good.

I know this may sound

awkward...

Um...

But could I hold your hand?

Just, um, for a moment.

Please.

I'm supposed to, um...

They told me that your family

will be taken care of.

Guard.

What is that?

It's my friend Megan

speaking Korean.

Here we go.

It looks like Alex

took money from Lionfish.

What?

He moved it offshore.

Okay, offshore where?

That seems intentionally

very unclear.

All right, well,

how much money?

Um...

Whoa, $200 million.

What?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Did they kill him

over this money?

Cas, you need to see this.

No, seriously.

What if they killed him

over this money,

or what if they think.

I know where the money is,

or that I have the money...

Cassie!

Okay, but that's

my missing ID from Bangkok.

What is this?

Hey.

Hey.

I checked in

on her movements.

You're not gonna believe this.

"Bowden and a male companion

entered an apartment building

"in Hudson Yards," and guess who

has a place in that building?

Alex Sokolov.

Well, the place

is leased to Unisphere,

but yes, Alex Sokolov.

Don't sit on my desk.

Sokolov's tax returns list

an address in Connecticut,

probably to avoid.

New York City taxes,

but he's getting mail

at this place for a year,

and Bowden just waltzed

right in.

She hugged the doorman.

It's feeling more and more

like they must've met

pre-Bangkok.

Kenneth Bell is also dead.

Is there anyone still breathing

on this list of files?

Uh, there is

also another one.

Elena King.

She's pending too.

Okay, what is this?

Me and bunch of dead people?

What the fuck is going on?

Max, that's not Elena King.

That's Miranda.

That's Miranda.

That's her.

Well, great.

At least you don't need a tower

of vodka bottles for this.

What did you get me

involved with?

It's my fault?

I'm dead.

Oh, sure, sure, sure.

Now there's a huge amount

of money missing

that you apparently stole,

and Miranda's just the tip

of this homicidal iceberg.

How many people want me dead?

You are so

not the good guy anymore.

You wanted me

to be the good guy,

and now you're pissed

because I'm not.

Oh, wow, that is so unfair.

You know, you really put your

best foot forward in Bangkok.

We were on a date.

Of course I was on

my best behavior.

Oh, really?

I'm just supposed to know

you're a liar?

I'm just supposed to assume

these things, really?

No, I mean...

Guess at the end of the day,

we're just two strangers

in a hotel room.

Are you okay?

Breathing is essential

in living a centered life.

Shit, shit, shit.

Victor.

Hello.

Sounds like you still might

be angry that I benched you.

No, no, no, I'm not mad.

I'm just, you know,

frustrated, maybe,

but you were right

to send me back.

I was just way too close

to that one.

You were even getting sloppy.

But you know,

with a little bit of distance,

it's really cleared my head.

No.

No, you have to agree

with me.

You were getting sloppy.

I... I was getting sloppy.

But now

you're back in London,

and we're all good, right?

Absolutely.

All right then.

It's just, you're not lying

to me, are you?

Of course not.

Okay, if we can get

this thing

to the FBI before,

I don't know, like,

a sniper shoots me in the face

or something.

Oh, my God.

Calm down.

There's no sniper that's...

What?

I can't authenticate myself.

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Somebody out there knows

we're in here

and is probably en route

to us right now.

Shit!

We gotta... we gotta go this way.

F

Doing it right now.

You know,

you don't even realize it.

You didn't just invent

a narrative about me,

you're doing it to yourself

as well.

You told yourself you were

doing all this to help Annie,

just like you told yourself

you wanted to help

the people on that plane.

You say you wanna help people,

but really, you're just

attracted to disaster.

You weren't concerned.

You were excited.

It wasn't

about helping people.

I was...

I was running

towards the crash.

Aah!

Agh!

Max!

Max, Max!

Oh, shit.

Hon, are you okay?

Help!

Hey, it's Max.

You know what to do.

Hey, it's me.

Um, when I get home tonight,

do you think maybe we could

just spend some time together

and um, watch a stupid movie

and maybe...

Eat the rest

of the leftover pasta?

Come back.

Come on!

Fuck!

Somebody!

Yeah, just call me

when you get this, okay?

Bye.
