The Leftovers (2014–2017): Season 1, Episode 2 - Penguin One, Us Zero - full transcript

My kid wants to quit soccer.

You think I should let him?
Is he any good?

Nobody quits
what they're good at.

So who the fuck is
this asshole?

Wayne henry
gilcrest, jr.,

Also known as holy wayne.

Messianic?
Maybe.

He lost a kid on the 14th,

Worked the colleges
and malls for a while.

Claims he can hug
the pain out of people.

Magic fucking hugs.



Yeah, the only catch
is he needs to, uh,

Charge his batteries with teenage
girls; asian ones, apparently.

Apparently.
We had him

On 8 counts of statutory
in pennsylvania,

But he went underground
in April.

Fbi got a tip that he set up
shop at a ranch in nevada.

Fbi? Guy's got a
pipeline to d.C.,

Sells his hugs
to senators, I guess.

Well, that would make him a
threat to national security.

If that's your assessment.

Guns? Got a couple dozen
guys at the ranch.

Semi-pro, no explosives.
Civilians?

Followers are mostly
dumb college kids,

Usually a couple on the
ranch running errands.



He looking to get martyred?
Looking to get laid.

Heh!

Ok.

Let's get him.

Here we go!
Go, go, go!

We got clear.

Cease fire!

Don't do it!
Come out!

Hands!

Hands up!

Freeze! Clear!

Bedroom is clear!

No!
Where is he?

Where's wayne?
Look here.

Where is he?

I don't know!

Where's wayne?

I got one!

Do not move!

Do not run, you fucking cunt!

Stop!

Do not fucking move!

Hands.

Turn around.

Get on your fucking knees.

Where's wayne?

I don't know.
Where the fuck is he?!

I don't know. Please.

I'll fucking kill you right now.
Please! I don't...

Where is he?! Don't shoot!
I didn't do anything!

Are you ready to die?! Where is he?!
Oh, no!

Please, don't!

I'm sorry,

But she's important.

Come on.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

This way.

It's ok.

Come on.
I got you.

Ok, go ahead.

Go. Ok.

Hey. Mr. Garvey.

Mr. Garvey, wake up.

Aimee.

Hey.

Aimee, you...
you can't be in here.

Shh.

It's ok.

I need you to come with me.

Come on.

He wants you to see.

You have to be quiet
or you'll scare them.

What... what are you doing?

Shh.
She's right over there.

Do you see her?

Hey, chief, watch your feet.

Put it out, paul.

Got a little out of
control, but it'll go out.

Paul, put it out now!

Shit.

What the fuck, paul!

I told him not to do it here.

Jesus, ginnie, the heat's out.

Close the goddamn door.
Sorry.

Give me that.

My brother's stuff.

Can't you just take it
down to the goodwill?

So I can see some asshole wearing
his clothes at the a&p next week?

Should I call 9-1-1?

No! Do not call 9-1-1!

Next time, just put it
in the attic.

I don't really want it
in the attic.

You owe me a fence.

Ow! Fuck.

You burned his fence down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Who wants french toast?

Has there been
any further contact?

Sorry. What?

Your ex-wife,
lauren.

Sorry. Laurie.

Have you and she had
any further con...

Ahem.
We're still married.

Does she think you're married?

You're gonna have to ask her.

I get it, because
she doesn't talk.

What's that for?

I work with a lot of kids.

They use it for aggression.

All right, so, um,

This mystery man
who shot the deer...

No, he didn't shoot the deer.

I thought...

No, no, no.
No one shot the deer.

The dogs killed the deer.

Uh, right, sorry.

So the mystery man...

Wait a minute. Why do you keep
calling him "the mystery man"?

You didn't tell me his name.

I don't know his name.

It says here
the squad car, um...

Your colleagues arrived in
response to a report of gunshots,

But there's no mention
of anyone there

Other than you,
and lots of dead dogs.

The guy got into
his truck and left

Before they got there.

So no one else saw him.

I fucking saw him.

Soup's on.

Get 'em while you can.

No pancakes in the big house.

Thanks.

Oh, christ!

Fucking laundry again?

Good morning.

What? You want me
to cut it down?

I thought you were bringing me out
here to kill me or something.

Hey, moonie!

Fuck you!

I know for a fact

That twardoz won't
take attendance.

I can't.
I have an exam.

- Chicken shit.
- Good morning.

Free of charge. They are not
who you think they are.

You're doing really
important work.

Someone needs to tell that
dude about the internet.

Save us a seat.
I'll go order.

Sorry.
Oh, no worries.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I may have fucked that barista,

So if he spit in your
chai, that's on me.

What?

Do you know who that is?

Nope.

Her name is nora something.
She was at heroes day.

Her husband and her kids
all disappeared.

There's a gun in her purse.

No shit?

Yeah, like, a big one, too.

Not some bullshit lady gun.

She probably puts it
in her mouth every night

Before bed and says,
"just one more day."

No, she, like, puts
wigs on and uses it

To hold up liquor stores
so she can feel alive again.

Or maybe she actually
killed her family

And then just said
they disappeared

While she secretly
ate their bodies.

That's fucked up.

Yeah.

Heh!

What the fuck?

I'm so sorry.

Oh, um...
No worries.

It's totally cool,
mrs. Durst.

Let me get you another one.
No, no, it's fine.

I've got to be somewhere anyway.
Sorry.

Bye.

Mmm. Ahem.

What was that?

Hey, nora.

Oh, shit. She's gonna
pop father nutballs.

Good to see you.

Ok. Bye.

You want to follow her?

In what?

Come on, dude. What? Hey!

Big bones!

Top of the mornin', ladies.

Y'all need a ride to school?

Only if you let me drive
your awesome prius.

Uh, hop on in, baby.

You know how to turn it on, right?
Yeah!

Ok. Go! Quick! Close the door!

It's a hybrid. Hit the power button.
Shut up.

Do you have a driver's license?
This is very confusing.

Brake. You got to hit
the... Here we go.

Ow! Oh, fuck.

Ow.

So what, the tree's supposed to

Symbolize my old life
or something?

Can I have one?

You know, you guys are running a pretty
shitty cult if you can't even join.

"not a cult."

Then what is it?

I'm not doing this anymore.

Because I don't want to.

Why? Why?

Because I've been with
you people for weeks,

And all I've got is
ron and pancakes

And... and fucking
tree-chopping!

What the fuck?!

I mean, it's freezing
and it's stupid!

It's fucking stupid!
That's why, ok?!

Christine, wake up.
This is it.

Just stay in the car, ok?

Is it him?

Maybe this isn't
the right place.

He should be here by now.

Are you calling him?

No.

Tom.

No, no, no, no.
Hey, wait, wait.

Hey, it's tom. I'm not here.

God bless.

Hey, tommy, it's
your daddy calling.

I saw you called,
so, uh, listen,

I'm gonna leave my phone on,
so call me whenever you can.

I love you. Shit.

Hard to get him
to talk to you, right?

Maybe try with the texting.

My 10-year-old,
that's all she uses...

Where are we on the truck? Huh?

Pickup truck I asked you to find
two weeks ago. Where are we?

Oh, yeah.

We... we put out a bolo,
but no hits.

Uh, maybe if we had a better
description of the driver?

Big, bald asshole
shooting dogs somewhere.

Uh... Want me to sit down
with a sketch artist?

No.

N-no, it's just you're the
only one who saw him, so...

Dennis, do you think
I made this guy up?

This is the part where you say,

"no, chief, that's
fucking ridiculous."

Fine. No, chief. That's... that's
fucking ridiculous.

Go find the truck.
Yes, sir.

Patti.

You know the drill.

I have a signed warrant,
applicable in the case

Of a missing person or persons,
to enter these premises

And conduct a visual survey and/or
question the occupants therein.

May I come in, please?

Morning, mr. Jensen.
How are you?

Terrific.

Obligated to inform you

The missing persons
investigation related to you

Has been closed and that your
family has been informed

Of your whereabouts.

You understand?

Yeah...

I understand.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you hurt yourself?

Just some blisters.

You mind if I ask your name?

Meg. Megan abbott.

You here on your own
free will, miss abbott?

Yes.

You need my help?

No.

Do you mind if we
take a picture?

A picture?
Mm-hmm.

Have I done something wrong?

No.

Ok.

Dennis.
Yeah, chief?

Could...
Ahem.

Ok.

We good?
Yeah, it's a good one.

Ok.

If you ever want to talk, uh,

We have resources
available to you.

You can feel free
to call me, night or day.

Why don't you
fucking mail it to me?

Don't get too close.
I know what I'm doing.

Uh... We're
missing first period.

Jill is never gonna fuck you

If you keep acting like
such a puss, dude.

Ow! What?

Did I mix them up?

Shut up.

Oh, yeah,

Here we go.

Why are we following her?

Because she's
fucking dangerous.

Mr. Patterson?
Uh-huh.

We spoke on the phone last week.
I'm nora durst.

Oh. I'm here to give you and your
wife your departure benefit.

Uh, I... come in.

Thank you.

This guy is in
the pledge house now.

No idea where he came from.

"brandon" might be an alias.

Wouldn't give us a last name.

Got her.
Megan abbott.

From here in town.

Fiancé reported her missing
a couple weeks ago.

All right. Have him come in.
I'll handle it.

Jesus. I never should have told
you to watch the fucking "wire."

Lucy.

Gentlemen, you mind giving
the chief and I a moment?

Yeah.

Madam mayor.

Kevin, were you inside a g.R.
Residence earlier today?

I was serving a missing persons warrant.
I do that every couple weeks.

Uh-huh. And would
you say the climate

Has changed somewhat since
you went over there drunk

And punched one of them
in the face?

I think I punched him
in the stomach, actually.

Want a bagel?

Kevin, I'm trying to help you.

By forcing me to get
cleared by some dipshit

Because I had a rough night?

"rough night"? You are aware
that people like dogs?

I like dogs.

Then stop fucking
shooting them because

That's something
crazy people do.

You want to get cleared?

Then you tell that dipshit
what he needs to hear.

What's that?

It won't happen again.

Well, I can't say that
'cause I don't mean it.

They're not our dogs.

Not anymore.

What the fuck does that mean?

Kevin, I need you
to stop pissing

On the g.R.'s
front porch, ok?

Fine.

See if I can hold it.

I'm visiting tonight, so...

Tell him I said hi.

Fuck.

You have to film us?

It's ridiculous, right?

I guess some people were
filling it out wrong.

That's why they're making us
conduct it verbally now.

How many questions is it?

Just over 150.

Too many, I know.

Do we have to answer everything
to get our... Check?

Just what you can.

Ok.

This is nora durst, id ♪42ecn.

Today I will be conducting
a benefit release questionnaire

For case file 77123...
charles patterson,

Age 34 at t.O.E.

Present are louis and marie,
the parents of.

I can refer
to him as "charles,"

As "your son,"
or as "the departed"...

Charlie.

All right. Charlie.

I apologize in advance.

The questions can be
strange for some people.

Were you able to look them over?
There was a link...

Let's just get it over with.

Ok.

To your knowledge, did charlie
have any food allergies?

We sent in his medical records.

I know, and I'm sorry.

I'm not given access to those.

No allergies.

Ok.

To your knowledge, did charlie
ever travel to brazil?

No.

To your knowledge,
did charlie enjoy cooking?

No.

To your knowledge, did charlie
speak more than one language?

My son had down syndrome.

I'm sorry.

I am. These questions,
they're f...

I want to sign off
on your benefit.

I know this is hard.

Answer what you can, but
I have to ask them.

All of them.

No...

He didn't speak more
than one language.

Ok.

To your knowledge,
did charlie have

More than 20 sexual partners?

What?

Do you have any hand cream?

I'm a man.

Why would I have hand cream?

You're a man?

I'll bet she does.

But if you get caught,
you will be shot.

Oh, my god, guys.
Are you serious?

She's a really bad
influence on you, man.

Jesus, lady.

Oh, fuck, yes.

Mmm.

Ok.

Jill!

Jill, don't do it!

Stop, stop, stop.
Jill, stop it.

- Stop.
- Shut up!

Go! Oh, my god! You stupid bitch!
You're gonna... go!

Hit the power button.

Oh, my god. Just
turn on the car.

Just go. She's right there.
Just go.

She's right outside.

Chief, the fiancé is here.

Waiting in your office.

Oh, right, yeah.
Thanks.

Mr. Finnerty.

Kevin garvey.
Thank you for coming in.

So sorry you had to wait.
You can have a seat.

Jesus.

You people leave me a voicemail

Regarding my fiancée,

And when I call back, nobody will
tell me if she's alive or dead.

Megan's with
the guilty remnant.

What?

I'm assuming they've been following
megan for some time now.

They usually target somebody and
then they... what do they want?

That depends who you ask.

I'm asking you.

Well, uh, they say

They want to remind people
of what happened.

But what do they want?
They want to recruit.

Look, the good news is
that right now,

Megan's in what we call
the pledge house.

It's like a...
like an orientation.

They don't have to wear white
yet, they can still talk.

I spoke to megan today
personally.

I've dealt with a lot
of these people.

I got a feeling
that with megan,

Maybe she's still on the fence.

I think you could still
convince her to come home.

Why would I do that?

Sorry?

Why...

Would I do that?

Because she needs you
right now.

She...

Needs?

I postponed my wedding for 3
years because of what she needs.

But she snuck off in the
middle of the fucking night

So she could be with them!

And she needs them!
The fucking ghosts!

What the fuck are you
talkin' about, man?

What, dennis?

Hey, chief, I found the truck.

Where?

It's, uh, in your driveway.

Hey.

Saw it when I was driving by,

Called you first thing.

Keys are on the dash.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Did you run the vin?

Uh-huh. No registration,
no wants.

I looked inside.
It's a dead dog.

I'll just say we found it abandoned
a couple blocks from here.

Why the fuck
would you say that?

Well, it's just... I...

It's not my truck, dennis.

Someone else put it here.

Uh, yeah.
Sure.

I know.

Get back to work.

Yes, sir.

He never would have let me
do that when he was alive.

You ok?

Yeah, yeah,
I'm fine. You?

Well, tom,

I've had better days.

Yeah.

Um, what happened back there?

They had papers, some bullshit.

They didn't come to arrest me.

They opened fire before
they even got to the house.

Christine told me what you did.

Yeah, you told me to
protect her, right?

Don't just shrug like you're not
sure what you want for supper, man.

You killed.

For great purpose, yes,
but you killed.

You're a good boy,
tom. It's ok.

And that's why it feels like there's
poison inside you right now.

And it's gonna burn

Till you're hollow.

Let me take it from you, man.

You don't have to feel
like this anymore.

Come on in.

I can't.

I can't.

You're the one motherfucker
I can't figure out.

You're all suffering
and no salvation.

But that's why I chose
you to protect our girl.

I'm glad you're back together.

No, no, tom, she...
She can't come with me.

She's going with you.

Thanks for letting us
hijack your ride, boners.

Anytime.

Hey, get some
fucking hand cream.

Have a good night.

You, too.

So, you think she's really
gonna use that gun?

If I lost my whole family,
I'd need to shoot something.

At least she's still here.

What do you mean?

She could have run away
someplace and nobody

Would have ever known what happened
to her, but she's still here.

These jellybeans are stale.

They were probably
for her kids.

Hi.

Oh.

Do we have to?

Please, can we just
have one night

Where I don't have to
give you any of my stuff?

One night?

Do you even remember what it feels
like to care about anything?

What?

No shit?

The hot cop?

And you're here?

It's my mom's.

I was saving it for last.

I don't want to feel
this way anymore.

She's far too important

To risk traveling
with me right now.

Never stay in the same
place for too long,

Don't ever tell anyone
your real name,

And don't use your ids.
Have you got a phone?

Yeah.

Give it to me.

When it's time
for what comes next,

I'll call you on this.

Oh, and get yourself a charger, man.
I lost mine.

Wayne, we have to go.

I love you.

I love you, too.

This girl is everything.

Yes?

Yes.

Road trip.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!

Fuuuu-uuck!

It's gonna be ok.

How?

Wayne told me.

Howdy.

Well, you gonna invite me in?

What's your pickup truck
doing in my driveway?

I heard you were
looking for it.

Heard where?

Around.

What's your name?

Well, you asking me in an
official capacity or as a friend?

We're not friends.

Then I'd rather not say.

Hey, mr. Garvey.

- Hey.
- These for us?

Young lady, why don't you put
this in the fridge for your dad?

Do not drink that.

So I found another pack.

Of what?

Dogs.

Couple dozen, I'd guess.

I saw them slinking around

The elementary school
tonight, and they...

I'm pretty sure they're
sleeping in the drainpipe.

We could set up there and pick them off
when they come out tomorrow night.

You meet my by the school
just before sundown?

Why can't you do it yourself?

'cause I'm lonely.

Sundown tomorrow.

We're doing the lord's
work, believe you me.

Hey!

Take your fucking truck.

No, it's all yours.
I'm done with it.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Hey, betty.
How you doing?

Mr. Garvey.
Long time no see.

Yeah.

Ok if I bring that in?

Long as he eats it while you're
here and you bring the jar out.

Deal.

Yeah.

How can he not like this?
Oh, it's great.

Prodigal son returns.

I'll, uh, let you two catch up.

Ok.

Kevin.

Hey... ahem... did you steal
my bagels this morning?

Did I what?
Never mind.

Forget about it.

How you doing, dad?

Said you got to eat it
while I'm here.

Yeah, yeah.
I know the rules.

Did she... did she tell you
what's going on with me?

Oh, we got better things
to talk about than you.

Mmm.

How's my house?

Paul burned down the
fence in the backyard.

Eh, fuckin' moron.

How's my job?

It's hard.

You know...

It wouldn't kill you to show

A little vulnerability
now and then.

People love that shit.

No one wants to see
the chief of police

Crying in his car.

You're crying in your car?

You know they all went?

Balki, cousin larry, jennifer,

Mary anne... Whole cast
poofed on the 14th.

Bullshit.

No, look it up.

Kids ok?

Yeah.
Jill, she's fine.

Tommy's still
out west, I think.

Been a while since we spoke.

Well, just because he doesn't
check in as often as he should

Doesn't mean
he doesn't love you.

How'd it start for you, dad?

Well, that depends on what
you mean by "it," son.

You know what I'm
talking about.

If you're asking me

When I started
losing my shit...

Contrary to the professional
opinion of others,

I maintain my shit
remains intact.

Now,

I'd venture to guess the
reason you're here seeing me...

Your shit may be gettin' lost.

No, not an... not an unreasonable
assumption, considering you've been

Running around shooting dogs in
the middle of the fuckin' night.

Fuckin' lucy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't take it out on her.

She's trying to cover for you.

Why don't you tell that
shrink she sent you to

That you were drunk

And that you were
under a lot of stress,

And you're very, very sorry?

You realize now
that it was wrong to...

Will you please shut up?

No, no, I'm not gonna tell him.

Tell me what, dad?

He's here, isn't he?

That's something.

Why do I always have to...

Oh, fuck you!

Someone came to see you?

What?

They said they sent...

Oh, motherfucker.

They said they sent
or are sending

Somebody to help you.

Who? Uh, help me
with what?

Ah, I don't know.

But...

Whatever it is,

You might want
to keep it to yourself.

Hey, chief, you good?

Fantastic.
