The Returned (2015): Season 1, Episode 9 - Helen - full transcript

[male announcer]
Previously on The Returned...

[Nikki]
Victor's real name is Henry Garrity.

He and his mother were murdered
there almost 30 years ago.

Why are you doing this?

Because that kid
freaks me out.

Who knows what
he's capable of?

Maybe this town was meant
to be washed away.

Rebuilding the dam
was a mistake.

If somebody wanted to
destroy it,

I bet they could
destroy it.

[Glen] Somebody could climb into
one of the diversion tunnels



with a huge bomb.

I have a daughter.

[Rowan]
Yes, you do.

- She's done talking to you.
- I want you gone.

- I've always loved you.
- Stop moving.

[gunshot]

[Chloe]
Did the angel come?

[Rowan]
The angel had to go back to heaven.

[Chloe]
When's he coming back?

Awful.

Just awful.

I don't know why you insist
on reading that stuff.

It only upsets you.

We can't all be
oblivious, George.



This boy and his mother,

it's just the beginning.

Terrible, terrible things are
going to happen in this town.

They're trying to take
my clothes away from me.

And the perfume
you brought for me.

They're chipping away at me,
George.

And pretty soon I'm gonna end up
just like them.

[whispers] How much longer
do I have to stay here?

[George]
I spoke with your lawyer again.

The damage to the town hall

wasn't as bad
as previous estimates.

So there's a good shot
that we can get the D.A.

to reduce the charges
of arson

to destruction
of city property.

But you have to prove
to the judge

that you're getting
the treatment you need.

The treat--

The treatment I need?

Helen, you burned down
city hall.

And I would do it
all over again.

I'd blow it all
back to hell.

It's time for your morning
medication, Mrs. Goddard.

That's okay.

I've got to get back
to work anyway.

Mr. Goddard,
don't forget your paper.

The flower, too.
I'm sorry.

You used to say that you loved
the way my mind worked.

I'll see you on Thursday.

[Helen]
I don't belong here.

This place is for sick people
and I'm not sick.

No, of course not.

Let's not make this difficult
like last time, hmm?

[busy signal drones]

[fire alarm ringing]

What?

[whispers]
The dam's burst.

Oh, everyone,
please remain calm.

[nurse]
There's been an emergency.

Rawlins Dam has burst.

We need to evacuate
and get everyone up to the roof.

My husband works
at Rawlins Dam.

We need to get
to the roof.

[man]
Quickly, follow me please.

[nurse]
Keep going.

Keep going.

[fire engine blaring]

Let's see.
What have we got here?

Vodka?

Or vodka?
[chuckles]

Hotel's got a mini-bar.

Are you trying
to get me drunk, Craig?

[chuckles]

Based on what I saw
back at the Dog Star,

I'm not even sure
that's possible, darlin'.

Come on,
the night is young.

Ugh.

Ah.

Ugh.

Oh, all right,
we're here.

[chuckles]

[Julie]
Victor?

You need to tell me
something.

I won't be mad.
I promise.

What happened last night
at the police station?

Did you hurt that man
for me?

[Peter]
What do you remember?

The door was unlocked.

Rowan was sitting
downstairs.

She must have known
he was in the house.

And she just stood there.

She let it happen.

[exhales deeply]

Look, I-l need
a place to crash...

Just for a day or two.

The memorial for the bus crash
victims is tonight.

Dozens of people will be here
walking around.

Okay, so I--l'll stay
in here.

I want to help you, Simon.

I do, but Tommy,
he already thinks I lied to him.

The first place he's gonna
look for you is here.

I can't help you.

Thanks for the clothes.

Wait, Simon.

Wait.

Here.

The key is for a van
around back.

It was donated to the center,
so no one will miss it.

I have a daughter.

I can't just leave.

It doesn't have to be
the end of your life,

you know?

You can start over.

You can be whoever you want.

[whimsical music]

♪♪

[chuckles]

I hate to bother you
with this.

I'm sure you have a lot
to figure out,

but my wedding
is tomorrow.

I gave Tony the deposit
for the reception months ago.

Yeah, I understand,
but we have 70 people coming,

some from out of town.

There's no way we can find
a new venue by tomorrow.

If you give me
the owner's number

I can talk with him directly.

Maybe we could work
something out.

I have to call you back.

Chloe?

Chloe!

Where are we going?

Why isn't Mommy coming?

Because Mommy and I
are playing a game.

You like games, right?

Shit.

[horn honking]

[tires screeching]

[glass shattering]

[heavy breathing]

Chloe!

[sobs and gasps]

Chl--

[police siren blaring]

Rowan!

Tommy.

- Are you okay?
- I was upstairs.

I was only gone
for a second.

It's okay.
It's okay.

Look at me.
Look at me.

We're gonna find her,
okay?

Okay.

She gave us a good description
of the vehicle.

Even caught a couple of numbers
off the plate.

Get it out
to all available units.

County, too.

I want him found, Mark.

Now.

Boss, I need to put out
a description of the suspect.

No, I told you.
It's Simon Moran.

It's the man who
broke into my home.

The man I shot.

Copy that, Sheriff.

I don't understand.
He's supposed to be gone.

- Why isn't he gone?
- I don't know.

But we're gonna
find him.

We'll get her back,
okay?

I don't care what
you have to do,

but you get me
my daughter back.

Do you understand me?

Where are we going?

Where do you want to go?

How about the beach?

You ever been to the beach?

Tommy took us
last summer.

Then I guess you can
tell me how to get there.

So I don't get lost.

What do you think?
Yeah?

It'll be an adventure.
Just the two of us.

[tires screeching]

It's okay.
It's all part of the adventure.

Everything's fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

[Lena]
What are you looking at?

It's stupid.

Hunter and some other people

just posted all this stuff
about me on Facebook.

Let me see.

They're saying I killed
the Koretskys.

That I put a curse on them
or something.

That I'm back from the dead
because I'm a witch.

He put up a photo
of my coffin.

I'm gonna kill
that asshole.

It's all over
the internet now.

Everybody's gonna know
about me.

They're gonna think
I'm a murderer.

They're idiots.
Who cares what they say?

They used to be
my friends.

[knocking]

[Dale]
Sit.

Sit.

- Dale Evans?
- Yeah?

I was hoping to speak to you
about a house fire

that occurred in 2002.

Your neighbor, Monica Sandoval,
got killed

along with
an unidentified child.

A young boy.

May I come in?

After your neighbor's death,

you gave a statement
to the police

saying that the fire
wasn't accidental,

that it had been started by a--

a young boy
she had taken in.

That's right.
The police didn't believe me.

They said it was a gas leak.

That boy...

what do you remember
about him?

She called him Eric.

She never knew his real name
or where he was from.

He didn't talk.

I told Monica there was
something wrong with him,

that he was troubled.

But she didn't listen.

She wanted to take care
of him anyway.

That's just the way
she was.

Look where it got her.

He burned that house down

with both of them in it.

[phone vibrating]

Julie?

[Nikki]
Julie?

Victor?

[Nikki]
ls that you?

[indistinct chatter]

Beautiful.

Matt, Kris,
what a beautiful picture

of Bethany.

Man, I can't believe
after all this planning,

tonight's finally here.

Well, it--it would not
have come together

without you guys
and your hard work.

Kris, I wanted to say
how--how sorry I am

about Rachel and Paul.

I know you were close.

If you need to talk about
anything, I'm always here.

Actually, some of us
have been talking, and...

we think it would be best if
the Winships don't come tonight.

I see.
Why is that?

You know, we just feel
like, you know,

after everything
that's happened--

Tonight is about
our children,

who we have lost.

None of us should
have to sit here and...

look at her.

Frankly after what happened
with Rachel and Paul,

her being here...

it's upsetting.

You all have obviously
given this some thought,

but I don't think the Winships
were planning on coming anyway.

So I wouldn't worry.

If you'll excuse me, I have some
work to finish up at the center.

What's up, Tommy?

What can I do for you?

[Tommy]
Why are you helping him?

Hmm?

The van.

It was registered
to the community center.

You gave it to Simon Moran.
Why?

I didn't.

I just noticed it was missing
this morning.

I thought it was stolen.

Don't lie to me.

He took Chloe.

I had nothing to do
with this, Tommy.

You know me.

Do I?

You've been protecting Simon
since he showed up.

And not just him.

You lied about
the Winship girl, too.

Why?

Why are you helping them?

Enough.

You're upset.

I get that.

But I don't know
where Chloe is.

Look at you.

"Saint Peter."

You carved out a nice little
life for yourself here,

didn't you?

Helping hand.

Shoulder to cry on.

But the thing is?

I'm starting to see
what you really are.

And what's that?

A lying piece of shit.

Me?

You lied to your own fiancée
for years.

You told her Simon was hit
by a car.

And then...

you shot an unarmed man.

Are you going to charge me
with anything?

Then feel free to get
the hell off my porch.

I don't know
what you're hiding.

But this?

It isn't over.

[Craig]
Damn, girl.

I mean, you screw like
the world's gonna end.

[exhales deeply]

Yeah, well...

[chuckles]
You never know.

So do I get
that tour now?

You're serious?

Man, I--

I just thought, you know,

that was pillow talk.

Well, this used to be
an old coal mine

before we repurposed it.

And old mines means
old ordnance.

Old ordnance is dangerous.

And by ordnance,
you mean...

Dynamite, TNT,
mercury fulminate.

Really?

Yeah, it's unstable
as hell.

You breathe on it wrong
and they'll be scraping up

what's left of you.

You seen my keys?

What do you do
with it all?

All those old explosives?

Well, we store it until
we can do a controlled det.

Where?

It's called a magazine.

Hey...

why are you so interested
in all this stuff anyway?

Curious.

I'm feeling pretty beat.

So...

find the keys and...

I'll give you
a lift home, okay?

[grunting]

[heavy breathing]

[knocking]

- Camille?
- I need to talk to you.

It's not a good time.

Camille, I'm serious.
You can't--

You can't be here right now.
You have to go.

No.

- Excuse me?
- I'm not leaving.

Not until you help me.

Everyone's saying
I killed the Koretskys.

You said if I gave them hope,
they'd accept me.

Well, I was wrong.
Okay?

I failed you.

I gave them
too much credit.

They're just not ready.

I'm not sure
they'll ever be.

So that's it then?

I should just...

go back to being a prisoner
in my own house?

I don't know, Camille.

Honestly, I don't.

And maybe Jack was right
to want to take all of you away.

Start over some place else.

Is that what you would do
if you were me?

We both know
there are more.

It's not just me.

But if we all just run and hide,
they'll never accept us.

You can't give up on me.

Not now.

[Jack]
We're closed.

Hello, Jack.

Oh.

They let you out
of the hospital?

Nice to see you, too.

What's all this?

It's Tony's crap.

Getting rid of it.

You think Tony did it?

You don't?

Tony wasn't the one
who attacked me.

Did the, uh...

voices tell you that?

Actually, uh...

I haven't heard them
since the last time I saw you.

Listen, what I said
in the hospital about your dad--

Yeah, I don't want
to talk about that.

Guess you're gonna
get rid of the bar, then?

Now that Tony's gone?

I don't know.

I haven't really thought
that far in advance.

What about you?
What are you gonna do?

Guess it's time
to move on.

That's the way it works.

How what works?

My life.

Uh, Lucy, wait.

It's crazy.

We're crazy.

But this last year
that you've been with me, I...

It's the happiest
I've been in a while.

And, um...

I need that right now.

I need you.

I bet you're wondering...

why I brought you out here,

why we're on this adventure.

I don't want you
to grow up like I did.

I never knew
my real mom and dad.

I was raised
by foster parents.

People who took me in.

But I thought about them
a lot, my real parents.

Thought about...

what my life would be like
if they kept me.

Maybe everything
would be different.

Maybe I'd be different.

And I never want you
to feel that.

I want you to know...

I love you very much.

Then Why'd you go away?

I made a mistake.

But that doesn't mean
I don't love you.

I'm your dad.

Mommy says dads are there
your whole life.

I want to go home now.

[knocking]

- Hi, Lena.
- Rowan? What are--

I'm looking for Simon.

The guy you said you met
at the Dog Star

who was looking for me.

Yeah, I remember.

I haven't seen him
since that night.

What about your sister?

She came to my house
a few days ago.

She said Simon
had been here,

that she was helping him.

Simon kidnapped my daughter.

If your sister knows
where he is,

I need to talk to her
right now.

I'm sorry.
She's not here.

I don't know where
she went.

My mom and I are kind of
freaking out actually.

If you hear from her,

I need you to call me
right away.

I don't know your sister,
but if she's like Simon now,

you should be careful.

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Simon?

Simon, is that you?

I want to give her back.

Where?

The place I left you.

Simon?

Where's Julie?

[Nikki]
Julie?

What do you want?

You're not safe with him.

You have to come with me.

Why?

So you can
protect me?

Because that worked out
so well last time.

You should have walked me home
that night.

But you let me go
by myself.

It's your fault
what happened to me.

Julie, I tried to get you
to stay.

I don't need you.

I've got Victor now.

I want you gone.

For good.

Oh, my God.

Nikki?

[voices whispering]

[Wright]
Simon?

She's sleeping.

Can I ask you something?

Am I in hell?

I died.

And now I have to watch everyone
I love move on without me.

And the closer I get,

the more I hurt them.

Mommy.

Oh, my girl.

We've been on an adventure.

I want you to go with
Pastor Wright

for a minute, okay?

He's gonna get you a soda.

You son of a bitch!

How--

How could you,
you son of a bitch?

Yes.
Simon's here.

Right now.

I held on to you for so long
it almost killed me,

but I can't anymore.

This is my life now.
I'm marrying Tommy.

You should.

I've been...

trying to get back something

that's already gone.

- [Chloe] Mommy.
- [Wright] Chloe, Chloe, wait.

Are you going away again?

You know what?

You were right about me

when you said
I was an angel.

l am.

And the thing about angels
is that they're always there,

watching over you

even if you
can't see 'em.

[police siren growing louder]

[police siren blaring]

- Rowan?
- Tommy, we're fine.

He's gone.

Take some men
around back.

No.

Tommy.

He's gone.

[whispers]
Just let him go.

[Kris] Hi. Oh, it's good to see you.
Thanks for coming.

[Matt]
There you go. Help yourself.

The candles are right there.
Please.

Kris, Matt.

-[woman] Hello, Peter.
-[Peter] Hello.

I...
Here you go, miss.

- [woman] Thank you.
- Thanks for coming.

Ready for this?

Are you?

[woman]
Look. ls that her?

[indistinct chatter]

[Peter]
Thank you all for coming.

We have spent months
planning for this event...

and years preparing ourselves

emotionally,

spiritually

to gather here tonight,

not in grief, but...

in tribute to those
we've lost.

William Godwin once wrote,

[clears throat]
"Loss is greater in Him

who survives than Him
who dies."

We are the ones left...

picking up the pieces,

asking.

Pleading,

"lf only I could have
them back,

"then everything
would be okay.

We could move on."

But could we?

Really?

Camille, would you
come up here, please?

One of our lost children
has come home

from a place none of us
thought possible.

[Peter]
And instead of embracing her,

you have shunned her.

What if she was your child?

[Kris]
She's not.

[crowd murmuring]

You--

you keep parading her
in front of us

and saying that we have to
accept her.

- Kris--
- No, Matt.

It is not okay.
It's not okay what you're doing.

She is not like our children.

Our children are dead.

Whatever she is,
she isn't Camille.

What she did to Paul and Rachel,
it's proof of that.

I didn't do anything
to the Koretskys.

I just wanted
to help them.

[Peter]
Camille, it's okay.

Kris, you're wrong.

This is Camille.

And she is no different

than the day
she got on that bus.

How can you possibly
know that?

I know
because I'm like her.

I died 29 years ago.
