The Returned (2015): Season 1, Episode 4 - Victor - full transcript

[male announcer]
Previously on The Returned...

Sorry, I didn't know you were in here.

I died, didn't I?

Where would we go?

We could go to California,
Paris, anywhere you want.

Let's be realistic.

This whole thing isn't realistic.

Hiding her here?

How long do you think
you could keep that up?

Hey, what are you doing
out here?

Are you lost?



You must be cold.
Where's your coat?

Come inside.

He's family?
What's the matter, Victor?

Cat got your tongue?

I know about the boy.
I know what he is.

I told you,
he's my nephew.

Prove it.

You crazy bitch.

You stay away from Victor

and you stay away from me.

I'm calling the cops!

Drop dead!

[Jill]
The little boy closed his eyes.

The fairy made him promise
not to open them again



until they were
out of the haunted woods

and back safe and warm
in his bed.

"I'll always watch over you, "
she said

and in the dark,
she took his hand.

"Your wish is my command."

And so she grants his wish,
every time.

Isn't she beautiful?

The fairy will always
protect you.

Who is she, Mom?
You never say.

You'll know her
when you see her.

She'll send you a sign.
Trust me.

[chuckles]

You carry the weight
of the world in that head.

But now it's time
to go to sleep.

Love you.

[door closes]

[Sighs]

[Jill screams]

[Richard]
Shut up!

[gunshots]

Check who else
is in the house.

[breathing heavily]

[hangers rattling]

[breathing heavily]

It's okay. Shh.
Just stay where you are.

Don't let him see you.
We'll be gone soon.

Sing a song inside your head
until we leave.

Try it.

[footsteps approaching]

Who are you talking to?

Nobody.

Don't screw this up
for us, asshole.

[breathing heavily]

Leave it
Come on, it's just a little kid.

- No!
- [bullet casing clatters]

[Tanya]
Help!

Stay here.

Help!

[screams]

[whimpering]

[cats meowing]

[cat purring]

[coffee pouring]

Morning.

Morning.

I think you're right...
about moving.

What made you
change your mind?

I woke up this morning
feeling hopeful.

For a second, I thought
I was still dreaming.

Can we really make
this work, Jack?

Yes.

[knock at door]

Shane, hi.

What's going on?

Good morning, Mrs. Winship.

We're looking for your husband.

Hey:

We'd like to ask you
some questions.

About Lucy McCabe.

Who's that?

She works
at the Dog Star.

Why?
What's going on?

It'll be better if we talk
about it at the station.

It's okay,
I'll be back.

You want me to come
with you?

No, no, it's okay,
I got it.

[Tommy]
Think fast.

Good catch.

There's a monster in the attic,
just so you know.

Sometimes houses creak.
It's called settling.

Or maybe it's mice.

[car horn honks]

Ah, okay.
There's Mrs. Kurata.

Got to get going, kid.

Have a great day.

Bye.

[Tommy]
Bye.

Is there something
on your mind?

Just the wedding,
all the details--

you know, it's got
my head spinning.

Well, we could wait,
you know

to get married

if it's bringing stuff up.

I mean, I'm the one
who's been pushing for it.

Maybe it's not
the right thing.

You really think, as long
as we've known each other

that you could push me
into anything?

I'm sure there are things
I still don't know about you

even after all this time.

I'm fine.
It's just a mood.

It'll pass.

You sure?

Yeah.

[cell phone ringing]

[Tommy]
Solano.

Yeah.

Okay.
I'm on my way.

Go, go.
Don't get caught up in me.

[smooches]

It's too late for that.

[door opens, closes]

Hey. Hey.

Stop. Simon.

Simon!
Stop.

Sorry.

I'm still trying
to get used to you.

So many things
I wanted to tell you

to share with you,
and now that you're here

I can't think of a single one
of them.

You're actually here.

You kept my guitar.

I kept everything.

Do you know I still have
a Facebook page?

People wrote the nicest stuff
about me.

Yeah.

I used to look at it
sometimes.

Why were the cops here
earlier?

They needed your dad's help
with something.

Nothing to worry about.

Your father and I have been
talking about moving.

But I just got back.

[conversation continues
indistinctly]

[breathing shakily]

[Camille]
But this is my home.

Mom, I don't want to leave.
I love it here.

I want to be near all my friends.

What kind of life
will that be for you?

How will I know if you don't
let me find out?

[Claire]
You can 't pretend to be Alice forever.

[breathing heavily]

[conversation continues
indistinctly]

Mom!

Oh, my God!
Lena!

Lena?

[knocking on door]

Is Jack on his way?

He's at the police station.

I'm not sure.

When did this start?

Right after she came back.

You think
this is my fault?

You know it is.

I didn't do anything
to you.

Of course you didn't.
Lena, stop it.

Tell me what you think
is going on here.

She's still
all you care about

even when she's killing me.

[indistinct chatter
over police radio]

[knock at door]

Was it him?

I don't know.

I mean, that's two people
in only a few days.

We don't know they're connected.
Did you know your neighbor?

I knew her.
We weren't friends.

[clatter]

Is there someone here?

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

Hey.

It's okay.

What happened?

Who is this?

Victor.
He's been staying with me.

He was lost.

Listen, why don't you
go to the bedroom

and wait for me, okay?

It's okay.

It'll be all right.

He was lost,
as in you found him?

How long has he been
staying here?

A few days.

Did you file
a police report?

I went to the police station,
remember?

No one was looking for him.

So you just kept him?

Holy shit.
Are you out of your mind?

You can't just take a kid home,
Julie, he's not a stray dog.

It's not like that.
Please don't push it.

Don't push it?

You act like I'm busting you
for a jaywalking ticket.

This thing could be considered
kidnapping.

Do you get what I'm saying?

[Tommy over intercom]
Nik, you good?

Be right there.

It's my life.

Please,
stay out of it.

Can't do that.

[door opens]

Does she know
that I'm her real dad?

Yes.

Yeah, we told her
everything.

Tommy wanted her to know the truth.

Has he been around
the whole time?

Pretty much.

I couldn't have done that, you know.

Been with someone
so soon if you had died.

I mean, I know that's a weird
thing to say

but I know it.

You don't know anything.

You're still 25.

I want to be grateful
you had someone

but I'm not.

[Tommy]
Does Claire know about

your affair with Lucy?

We looked up
Lucy's bank accounts.

The only big deposits were
all checks written by you

somewhere around

$20,000
over the last year.

That's a lot of cash.

Does your wife know about that?

Please, keep Claire out of this.

I get it.

Ahh.

You're in
a midlife crisis

and along comes
this 27-year-old

stone-cold fox of a girl,
and she likes you.

She thinks you're smart.

Then you realize
that it's not real

and that kicks you in the gut.
It's humiliating.

Hell, I'd be pissed, too.

You know that your small-change
bad-cop routine

is embarrassing, right?

Did she admit
that it was a con

the bullshit custody suit,
the ex?

Or did you discover that
on your own?

I know you've been through a lot

and there's not a person in this
town who doesn't know that

and I'm sorry for it.

Grief.

It twists people up.

Makes monsters out of them sometimes.

Maybe this girl brought out
some anger in you.

Maybe she deserved it
in your mind.

Okay.

Well, let's just acknowledge

that she lied to me
and took a bunch of my money.

Whatever.

I cared about her.

How she felt about me,
I don't know

but I didn't hurt her,
and I'm not gonna apologize

for something
that saved my life.

[rumbling, gurgling]

[gasps]

Hello, there.

There's something wrong
with your water.

Excuse me?

It all rises to the surface
eventually, doesn't it?

Are you looking for food?

Shelter?

I have a home.

But they changed the locks.

Well, maybe I can
help you with that.

We haven't met.
I'm Pastor Wright.

I know who you are.

I was at George's funeral.

Were you close with George?

I used to be.

He was my heart.

I heard your sermon.

You seem like a nice man.

Why would you lie
to all those people?

Promising them an afterlife
you can't possibly know exists?

And you can't know
it doesn't.

Oh, yeah?
Want to bet?

Faith is the substance
of things hoped for

the evidence of things
not seen.

[scoffs]

Whatever that means.

So, you really believe
that people rise from the dead?

Yes, I do.

Because I've been thinking
about Lazarus.

Now, we all know he rose
from the dead, right?

But what happened
after that?

They never say,
and I would like to know.

I mean, that's
the interesting story, isn't it?

Was he happy about it?

I have a feeling his sisters
weren't too happy.

Bet they weren't happy at all
when he came back.

It's just too weird.

And probably running
around the house, whispering

"This was a mistake.

"There's something not right about him."

And that something was,
is that Lazarus was dead.

And he should've stayed
that way.

Lazarus' sisters begged Christ
to bring him back.

And that is my point.

He shouldn't have listened.

The finality's
for a reason, Pastor.

Don't you think?

I mean, to just go on and on,
it would--

Oh, that would be
excruciating.

How do you organize a life
with no death to define it?

I really want to know.

The Caldwell Community Center
has a nice dormitory.

Can I help you find
someplace to stay?

[Sighs]

Victor?

[Sighs]

Victor?

What are you doing
in here?

Did you draw this?

Did you see something
across the hall last night?

Come on, you got to come
out of there.

[Sighs]

I don't know
how to help you.

[thudding overhead]

[thud]

[Sighs]

Do you think it's my fault,
what's happening to Lena?

Why would God
bring you back

just to make the people
who love you suffer?

They've suffered enough.

Then why does she hate me?

I don't think she hates you.

Have you ever heard
of survivors' guilt?

I died in an accident.
Lena wasn't even there.

Well, maybe that's why.
She blames herself.

She was supposed to be
on the bus that day.

That's right,
but she wasn't.

Instead, she lost her sister,

the closest person to her
in the world.

And the thing is

life forces you
to keep on living.

It just does.

And joy returns.

Whether you think
you deserve it or not.

It may take Lena a while
to come back from that

but I think she will

when she realizes
you're here to stay.

Am I here to stay?

I think so.

I hope so.

[Dr. Hiromoto]
Was your daughter in an accident?

[Claire]
Lena? No, never.

Could someone
have hurt her?

No.

I don't know.
She doesn't tell me much.

I have a teenager.
I get it.

The thing is,
what's on Lena's back

it looks like
a puncture wound

like she was impaled
on something.

What?

That doesn't make any sense.

And at the same time, it appears
to be spreading quickly.

Her body's turning on itself.

I can't say
I've ever seen this before.

I have to ask,
is there something

you're not telling us,
Mrs. Winship?

Anything that could help us
help your daughter?

No, there's nothing.

What about her father?
Where is he?

Can I talk to him?

I'll talk to him.
Thank you, Doctor.

He put cameras
in the ceiling?

- Why would he do that?
- I don't know.

- Did he see us?
- I don't know.

You have to get
out of here.

Come with me.

You and Chloe.

This guy's not normal.
He could be dangerous.

No, Tommy wouldn't do
anything to hurt us.

How can you say that?

Chloe,

don't be scared.

Who is he?

He's your father.

My father's dead.

He was

but he came back.

Is he an angel?

Yeah, he kind of is.

Can I touch him?

You're warm.

So are you.

We can't tell anybody
about the angel,

not even Tommy,
you understand, okay?

He's gonna have to go now.

But you'll see
him soon, okay?

- Come with me.
- I can't.

Not right now.
I have to talk to him.

He's been there for me
since you left.

I need to hear
his explanation.

Okay?

I'll be back soon, okay?

Right.
Okay, well, thank you, Loretta.

I appreciate it.

There's no easy way
to say this.

Jack is being questioned

in connection
with Lucy McCabe

the waitress that was
stabbed in the tunnel.

He's a suspect?

- Apparently, yeah.
- They think Jack stabbed her?

Jack and Lucy were... involved.

Apparently, Jack gave her money,
a lot of it.

Where is this information
coming from?

Well, I have a friend
at the police station.

Who feels totally comfortable

repeating this
confidential information to you?

I know you're trying
to protect me here

but there is a level
of respect missing

everywhere.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

[knocking on door]

[lock opens]

Nikki's gonna take you
to a better place.

There will be people
who will take care of you

who will be there
all the time.

People who will help you.

I wish I could.

This is the right thing.

I'm so sorry.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[whispering]
Hey.

I came
as soon as I could.

How's she doing?
What's happening?

They still don't know
anything

except it's getting worse.

They want to move her
to a bigger hospital.

[sighs]
Where's Camille?

The cafeteria,
eating, again.

Aren't you worried
somebody will recognize her?

Let's talk outside.

I checked our accounts.

All the money from Camille's
college fund is gone.

[Sighs]

She was dead.

And that money came
from my family.

I just want
to get this clear.

The money we saved
for our daughter's college,

you spent on a hooker.

Lucy was not a hooker.

She said she had a gift

that she could channel
dead people

talk to Camille.

Why do the police think
you two had a relationship?

Because she said that...

[Sighs]

She said that we had to be
having sex for it to work.

And you believed that?

Come on, Claire,
I was a mess.

I don't have
to tell you that.

I lost everything--

Camille, you, Lena.

I would have done anything
to make that pain go away.

And it helped.

And I didn't hurt her.

I know you didn't

but this is the end.

I'm not going anywhere
with you.

[Peter]
It's more comfortable than it looks.

I promise.

So, just let me know
if you need

- an extra pillow or--
- It's fine, not necessary.

I don't sleep anymore,
anyway.

Will you excuse me
for one moment, please.

[Nikki]
Hi.

[Peter]
Well, this must be Victor.

Thanks for taking him in
on such short notice.

Well, of course.
That's what we do.

Does Victor have
a last name?

[Nikki]
We don't know.

He hasn't told us yet.

Okay, that's all right.

A lot of cool people
have only one name--

Zorro, Elvis.

Elvis actually had a last name.

Just pointing that out.

Thank you, Nikki.

Well, you have my number.

- Yeah.
- If he needs anything, call me.

Of course.
We will take great care of him.

So, Victor,
do you like games?

Because I got to tell you

we have an entire room
full of games.

Helen, if you'll just give me
one more minute. Thanks.

Here we go.

[exhales deeply]

[door opens, closes]

- How much did you see?
- All of it.

Do you know how disgusting
you make me feel?

Who are you?

I quit watching you
for a long time.

But when you started acting strange,
I got worried.

I was afraid
you'd hurt yourself again.

I'm an animal in a cage
to you?

I was trying
to keep you safe.

I didn't know
how to help you.

I'm leaving.
You know that, right?

Listen to me.

This guy who you
made love to today,

he left you once,
and he'll do it again.

Pastor Wright asked me to say
that it was an accident.

It wasn't
an accident, Rowan.

Simon stepped
in front of an 18-wheeler.

He killed himself

on the day that he was
supposed to marry you

knowing you were pregnant

and not caring
that it would ruin you.

You knew that?

Given everything you were going
through, everyone thought--

Everyone?

Not everyone.
Me.

Pastor Wright,
he was counseling me.

So you just decided what I could
and couldn't handle?

When we first met

when I told you
that Simon was dead

that sound you made

it still haunts me.

I would've done anything
to protect you.

You made a decision
that changed the course

of my whole damn life,
and I didn't even know you.

I loved you
the minute I saw you.

You do not want to touch me
right now.

Don't touch me!

You are crushing me.

I can't breathe.

Just get away.
Get away from me.

Guys, if my dad catches us,
I'm gonna be so dead.

I'm sorry, Lena.
That was so stupid.

We'll just be a minute.
Thanks, Abby.

You sure you want
to do this?

I need to.

I can still feel her.

All right.

She's so cold.

Yeah, you probably
shouldn't be touching her.

[sobbing]

I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.

[continues sobbing]

They said, um,
part of the bus

like, a metal part
went through her back.

Hey, Lena, come on,
let's go.

Don't touch me!

We did this.
This is because of us!

[sobbing]

Hey.

You okay, buddy?

You afraid of the dark?

You know what I used to do
when I was afraid?

I would sing a song
inside my head.

You should try it.

You know, just pick a song

and then sing it
inside your head

until you
fall asleep, okay?

Good night.
