The River (2012): Season 1, Episode 5 - Peaches - full transcript

There's magic out there.

Beloved television host
Emmet Cole

has been reported missing.

We can find his ship.
We can find him.

The network will pay,

but they want every moment
on camera.

I am not leaving this close
to finding your father.

If I had any guess,
we'd go through here...

This is where Emmet said
he was going--

This-- this horseshoe crescent area.

That's the Sahte territory.



He said everything he was
searching for would be there--

The Source.

This Source--
Did he tell you what it was?

Turns out he didn't share
all that much

while he was watching me
get hanged from a tree.

All I know is that he was
looking for these people--

People who he said could
"show him the way."

Well, that's the best lead
we've had so far.

If that's where Emmet was going,
that's where we go,

and that's where
we'll find him.

Find them.

Of course. Yes.
Emmet and Russ

and the whole crew.

And really,
why the accordion?



My dad taught me.

He said no guy ever asks out

a girl who plays the accordion.

He wanted me to be a boy,
and he couldn't have that.

He wanted me to be a nerd.
Done.

People forget about my dad
all the time.

I know that this search,
this... documentary--

I mean, none of it
would be happening

if it weren't for Emmet Cole,

but... my dad's missing, too.

You love your father?

I mean, what's special
about him, to you?

A million things. Everything.

Can you give me a specific?
Other than the accordion.

He's...

I have a whole lifetime...

- You're putting me on the spot.
- I, um...

I can't think of anything
right now. He's my dad.

Sorry.

Here we go. Mm.

- Three 8s.
- You're cheating.

- Yeah, I am.
- You can't do that.

I'm teaching you how.

Hey, don't scratch.

Okay.
All right, here we go.

I mean, the whole world cried
when Emmet Cole went missing,

but...

My dad-- Sometimes it feels like
I'm the only who who misses him.

Hmm.

Of course we're gonna find him.
We know where to look now.

We just need to get there.

We're barely pulling a knot.

We finally know
where we're going,

and we're never
gonna get there.

Everyone to the deck.

Someone make me some coffee.

Well, visibility's terrible,
so I need everyone on watch

so we can get back up to speed.

Uh, some of us do have
work to do.

Well, if we can't get moving,
you can't keep filming,

and then you'll be out of work,
Clark.

Regular intervals, full lookout,
shoreline, rocks,

sleep rotations
every three hours.

Everyone pitches in.
That means you, too, camera.

Marvelous.

I should have stayed
in the tree.

Rock ahead! 20 meters,
port side.

You know, your dad is
pretty much my hero.

He's the best cameraman
I've ever seen.

Taught me to film underwater.

Built me this
absolutely genius housing.

Cheated at poker.

You're the first person
who didn't tell me

how much they loved Emmet Cole
before remembering my dad.

Every day we look
at these tapes of Emmet,

and... it's hard, because
I know that my dad's there

just behind the camera.
I can...

I can hear him,
but I just can't see him.

Cafe?

Uh, no I've had plenty,
thank you.

No gracias.

I had plenty. Plenty.

Muy bien. Bien.

_

_

_

_

_

Jonas, keep focused.

If we hit something,
it's on you.

Yes, sir, admiral, sir.

What?

_

_

Ho! I see something!

Hey, guys. Guys,
there's something out there.

AJ, come get-- get this.

What have we got?
What have we got?

- I don't know.
- It looks like a ship.

Tess! They're coming
straight for us!

Hello!

- Keep going?
- Yeah, yeah.

They're still coming.

- Oh, no.
- Hello!

Here, Lena. Hold this.

Hello!

- They're gonna hit us!
- Mom, cut the engine!

Can he see us?

Hello?!

Get down!

- What the hell just happened?
- Is everyone okay? Mom!

Yes!

Where the hell did it go?

It just disappeared.

That ship-- she ran us aground
pretty good.

One of our fuel lines
is busted.

So patch it. We need to be
moving by morning.

_

_

- What's she saying?
- We've got other damage.

- What kind of damage?
- The kind we can't patch.

We need parts.

We can't exactly go to the store
and pick up a coupler out here,

- Now can we, Emilio? - We can't
stop now. We have to keep moving.

- We have to fix it.
- No can fix.

_

_

Hang on. So we're stranded in
the middle of the bloody Amazon?

Mayday, mayday, mayday,
all stations.

This is the "Magus."
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot.

We've run aground.
Transmission is damaged.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

All stations.
This is the "Magus."

Position unknown.

Mayday, mayday, mayday,
all stations.

This is the "Magus."

We've run aground.
Transmission is damaged.

Transmission is damaged.
Requesting a tow.

Need immediate assistance.

Tess, why don't you let me
take over for a while?

That's okay. I got this.
Get some sleep.

Mayday, mayday, mayday,
all stations.

Requesting a tow.
Need immediate assistance.

Over.

She looks like a bloody disaster.

I don't think we can
get anywhere soon.

Emmet's tapes.
I've seen 'em.

Not all of 'em.

Here, check the "B" roll.

Your dad wasn't always
just behind the camera.

Hey, Peaches.

Greetings from, uh...

Where the hell are we, Emmet?

Three easy days outside
of Manacapuru. Hey, Lena.

I heard
there's an outpost ahead

with a decent dish.

I thought I'd upload a message
and...

Say, uh...

Hell, I miss you.

Last we talked, you said
you were sick of selling skis.

I hope you quit
that shit by now.

Get a job that makes you happy.

Remember what I told you?

The key is, you just gotta
find something you love to do,

- and then find someone who'll
pay to do it. - Pay...

Russ, come here!

Hey! We need to get a shot of it.

Speaking of which...

Love you, Peaches.

Talk soon.

Mayday, mayday, mayday,
all stations.

This is the "Magus."
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot.

She's been at it for 12 hours.

Okay, there's nothing happening
around here.

We're just burning tape.

This doesn't make
any sense. This is stupid.

I don't care. We're not just
gonna sit around here

and do nothing.

We're paying you so you can
take us where we need to go.

You're paying me
to protect you,

right now most likely
from yourself.

What's the problem, boys?

Listen to me. Every minute
we waste sitting around here,

waiting for a boat
that's never gonna come

could be the difference between
finding my dad dead or alive.

We finally have a real lead,
so let's follow it,

on foot if we have to.

We'll ride the zodiacs
till they gas out and then hike.

The Sahte territory
is four days by boat

and four weeks on foot.

At least
we'll be moving forward.

Hello, come in, "Magus."

This is the "Exodus."
We read you.

Anyone out there?

Hello, "Exodus."
Yes, we hear you.

Come in. Over.

Ha!

Everyone stay cautious.

We don't know these people.

Ahoy, "Magus"!
You in a spot of trouble?

Ahoy, "Exodus." We were hoping
you could help us.

We were sideswiped by a boat.
Ran us aground.

So what brings you?

The rainforest
or what's left of it.

Yeah, we've been going after
some illegal logging vessels

that have been encroaching
in this area.

Oh, yeah, how's that
working out for you?

Well, there's only four of us,
so you win some, you lose some.

So what can we do for ya?

We're in need
of some spare parts.

Well, lucky day. We're in need
of some donations to the cause.

Would you take a check?

Some of it's pretty old.

There's gotta be something
in there that you can use.

What's with the camera?

Uh, we're filming
all this for a TV show.

Are we gonna be in it?

Only if you do something
interesting, man.

This will do.

Gracias.

Let us know if you need
anything else.

Come on.

_

Damn boat nearly hit us,
and we ran aground.

How long's he been missing?

About six months.

I'm sorry. Uh...
Was he out here alone?

No, he had a crew with him.

Six months. That's a long time
in the Amazon.

I wish I could help, but, uh,

you're the first new folks
we've seen in months.

Do you wanna stay for dinner?

I mean, it's the least
we could do.

Now you and Lincoln--
What's the story there?

Hmm? What's going on?

Nothing. No story.

Oh, come on.
You guys grew up together.

You were 16 on a boat.
I know how that goes.

You can tell me. So, what,
is he, like, your first...

Family show.
Let's say kiss.

I've done my interviews
for the day.

Film the "Exodus."
It's a change of scenery.

The "Exodus."

Whoa, whoa.

What was that?
What?

Looked like someone
was on their boat.

Whoa.

They said there was
only four of them.

Yeah, and they're all
over here.

- Here you go. Whoops.
- Ahh! Ah ah ah ah!

Okay, to the "Magus."

May she soon sail again
with a full crew.

Here we go, here.
Cheers, cheers.

Ohh! Oh, I forgot
how much I love bourbon.

So, uh, how did
you all meet, then?

You ever hear
of the Belo Monte dam?

That's Peru, right?

Yeah, Peru. We-- we met
helping out the Achaur people

who were being driven
out of their homes

by the construction.

Turns out none of us
were ready to go home.

Idealists.

Oh, God,
tree-huggers.

Easy, AJ.

Uh, listen, I'm sorry.
Where's the, uh...

End of hallway.

Ow!

- You all right?
- You okay?

Yeah.

One of the many reasons
why I shouldn't drink.

You burned yourself.

I'll get you a bandage.

_

Find them?

Of course I wanna find
the missing crew, Dr. Cole.

But you get paid
regardless, don't you?

You try to maintain
professional detachment.

They train you for that.

But when you spend enough time
with any crew,

you start to care.

Even if you have
other obligations?

Ask me that again.

What I mean
to say is...

Isn't it possible you have
other reasons for being here?

My obligation is solely to
the safety of this crew. Yes?

Please tell me
there's more of that bourbon.

- Mm-mm-mm-mm!
- Yay!

We don't get drunk
nearly enough.

Why don't we get more drunk
more often?

We're usually pretty busy.

Aah!

- All right, drown that out.
- That's my boy.

Where are we going?

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Going on a little trip.

In the middle of the night?

Well, we saw something
on their boat.

I say we go over there,
look around.

Check it out. See if we're right
or if we're crazy.

We found you in a tree

because you filmed something
you weren't supposed to.

Are you afraid
of a bunch of eco-nerds?

Come on.

If they bust us,
we'll say we just got drunk

and were looking for
someplace to fool around,

which will obviously
just be our cover.

I'm driving.

Okay, yes, ma'am.

Drink, my brother, drink.

So the blonde--
Is she your sister?

Oh, no, no.

Girlfriend?

Huh? Oh, no. No.

Why not?

Captain,
may I have a word?

Just... looking for some advice
on places to refuel.

Okay.

Tess?

No, thanks, I'm good.

- You sure?
- Mm-hmm.

You don't give yourself
many breaks.

Well, we're on a rescue mission.
I try to stay focused.

Mm.

Your husband-- He's--
He's lucky to have you.

This is crazy.
I can't wait for doing this.

Sorry, sorry.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You know what?

Let's make this even scarier.

Let's go to night vision.

How do I look?

Oh, God. Super good.

I'm so scared.

They're gonna get us.
I can feel it!

They're gonna come get us!
This is so--

- Did you just hear that?
- Oh, ha ha. Very funny.

No, I'm serious.

There's nothing.

Look.

Watch your hands,
watch your hands.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

Someone is down there.

Come on.

- Careful, careful. All right, I'm coming.
- Come on!

I'm coming.

They live down here?

I don't see any bunks.

I don't even see a radio.

How'd they hear our mayday call?

Did you hear that?

There.

It's coming
from behind the door.

Someone's inside.

There are only
a couple places to fuel

for the next 9 kilometers.
I'll show you on the map.

And I can show you.

Aah! Uhh!

The Belo Monte dam
is in Brazil, not Peru.

What, you call me out here
to correct my geography?

Now... this can be easy,
or it can be very difficult.

I want you to go back
in there,

say thank you for the meal,
collect your crew,

and get the hell off my boat,
and I want that right now.

Easy, man. We're the ones
trying to help you!

Uhh!

Right now.

I don't think so.

It is your last chance.

Hello?

Someone there?

Dad?

I can't believe it.

We found you. You're okay.

You're okay!

Peaches.

Hi.

No, no, no!

No, no!
I don't understand.

- No, I came to bring you home. - Lena,
forget me. You gotta go. You gotta go now.

Kurt?

They're collecting people. No!
You can't have her!

Aah! You cannot have her, too!

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

Dad, listen to me.

- We can get out of here.
- We can get away from them.

It won't be easy.
Those people--

They are not people.

So how did you end up here?

I was in the jungle,
starving.

When I saw the...
light of the ship,

I thought I was dreaming.

I thought there was
a chance to see you again.

They brought me onboard,
chained me.

When the sun came up,
one of them was alive again.

He could leave.

Wait. What do you mean,
"alive again"?

The "Exodus"--
It's some kind of a ghost ship.

The crew-- They--
They can't leave the river

until they find someone
to replace them onboard.

Wait. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

So you're saying
if we're on this boat

when the sun comes up,
that we can't ever leave?

We... have an hour
until sunrise.

Aah!

There are four of them now.
They only need one more.

We've been tracking him,

and I'm going to any location
we can make out on his tapes,

and, uh, he left his journal.
It's not much help, actually.

And I keep telling myself
that...

It's just him
being secretive,

but I-I can't help
but think that he's lost...

That he's lost himself
down here.

Hmm. You know, the river
will do that to some people.

You can become something
you never thought possible.

Hey, did... oh, no.
This is all wrong.

Who drew this?

Well, we're... trying
to figure our way

the best we can
in the Boiuna,

but there's no map.

Oh, it's on our map,
on the "Exodus."

You have an accurate map
of the Boiuna?

Of course.

Tess, if you're gonna find
your husband,

you need to know that
you're on the right path.

So let me show it to you.

Come... to the "Exodus."

Well, hello, ladies.

We out for a stroll?

I'm going aboard the "Exodus."

Annabelle has a full map
of the Boiuna.

Oh, well, that's nice.

I'll tell you what.
I'll come with you.

That's all right. Why don't you
give me your camera, Clark?

How about you go and...
Throw up, get some sleep?

'Cause I need you fresh to sail
in the morning.

Aye, aye, captain.

Good night, Clark.
You too, AJ.

Ahh!

Let the boys know that Tess
and I will be on the "Exodus"

if anyone needs us.

Good night.

- Hey, Clark.
- Hmm?

- Where is everybody? - Uh, I think
your mother's looking at a map.

What about Lena and Jonas?

Oh, well, it's a small boat.

If you can't find them,
it's probably on purpose.

At least someone's getting
laid around here.

Annabelle? How old is this ship?

I'm sorry, Tess.

I told you
the Boiuna changes people.

You can't imagine what it's like

being trapped on this river
for so long.

We've been here long enough.

It's your turn now.

Kurt, you in there?

Clark, wake up.

We got trouble.

What?

AJ, come on!

Come on.

What do you mean?
What's going on?

I know this sounds crazy, but I
think they've been kidnapped.

Kidnapped? What?

- What are you talking about?
- I don't know.

Something's not right.

Lena!

- What was that?
- Whoa.

It's the "Exodus"! Oh, no!

They're gone.

Uhh!

Tess!

What the hell's happening?

Russ? Oh, my God.

Tess.

It's good to see you.

You, too.

Is Emmet here?

We got separated.
I don't know what happened to him.

We're turning.

They have four of us now.
They're just waiting until sunrise.

Where are they
taking us?

The question is not "where."
The question is "why."

I need 20 minutes more,
and she can sail.

The could be anywhere by then.
We need to go right now.

We'll take the zodiac.

Keep working.
We'll send up a flare. Find us.

Okay, let's load up.
Let's go.

They're taking us east
to wait out the sun.

Not much time.

Clark and Lincoln-- They must
have realized something's wrong.

You mean the guys
on the broken boat

who've been drinking
all night?

He's right.
Even if the ship can sail,

they won't know where
to find us.

They will if we tell them.

If I can get
the transmitter

on this camera to work,

it'll broadcast the signal
back to the edit bay.

They can track us
from there.

You know, it keeps
cutting in and out.

Russ, if we don't make it
out of here,

I need to know something.

- You wanna know about Emmet?
- Yeah.

I'm not sure even Emmet
knows about Emmet anymore.

Something got a hold of him,
Tess. I don't know what.

There were times I'd wake up.

We'd be anchored in the middle
of the river,

and he would just be... gone.

We saw incredible things.

He started to think that
they were all connected,

that all the magic out here
came from one source.

He became obsessed
with finding it,

and when we lost the "Magus,"
he wanted to go on foot.

In the Sahte territory.

- The Sahte Falls is-- - No, no, no,
that's too far. We've been warned

against going that deep. I'm not
gonna let you do this, Emmet.

The Boiuna has tested us
before.

I think this is the last test
right now

to see if we're strong enough,
so get strong, Russ,

or get out of the way.

Somehow I knew that would be
the last time I ever saw him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
okay, I got it, I got it.

We're live. All right.

You, uh, you should be
on the monitors.

Yeah. We just need
someone to see it.

Mayday, "Magus."
We're on the "Exodus."

They have us.
Please, you have until sunrise.

You can track our location
on this signal.

Clark, get the flare
so we can signal Emilio.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Flashlight, flashlight.

Clark?

Hold on!
I'm looking for 'em!

Flares. Got 'em.

- Okay, come on. Let's go.
- All right.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Clark? Lincoln?
Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Help! Lincoln! Clark!
If you...

Come on, come on, come on.

Where the hell are they?
Come on!

We don't even know
which way they went!

It doesn't matter
how fast we go.

"Magus,"
we're running out of time.

We're stopping.

What are they waiting for?

Sunrise.

"Magus,"
please, can you hear me?

_

Mayday, "Magus."
We're on the "Exodus."

They have us. Please...
We have until sunrise.

You can track our location
on the signal.

Mayday, "Magus."

Papa?! Papa?!

Uh...

- Which way do I go?
- Just pick a bloody direction.

We picked enough
wrong directions.

The more time we waste--

We can't just sit here, okay?!

Lincoln, Lincoln!

Jahel?

I'm here.

_

Why?

_

How much time?

Not much.

Whoa, whoa, there it is.
There it is.

Slow down. Slow down.
Take it easy, take it easy.

Uhh!

Come on, come on, come on,
come on. Let's get in there.

I don't see,
where are they?

Okay, you ready?
Come on.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Dad.

Stand back.

We just want our people.

What are these people? We just
shot them and nothing happened!

What are we gonna do?!

- They can burn.
- Get the flare.

Get back! Get back! Get back!

Everybody off the boat now!

I can't go with you.

What? Come on. Let's go.

I am one of them.

Dad... no.

Lena, I'm already dead.

You freed me.
I can move on.

- Wh--
- I've lived my life.

I shared it with you.
I've got no complaints.

- But listen to me.
- No!

Listen. You go back home now.
You live your life.

- You find your place away from here.
- I'm not leaving you.

Listen, some people might think
you have a big role to play.

You don't have to have
a destiny.

You can just have a life--

a nice, long, boring life.

Go home, Lena.

- Lena, come on. We have to go.
- No, you can come with us!

- We have to go!
- Come with me, please!

- Lena, come on! Come on!
- No!

Enough!

No, dad!

- Lena, come on!
- No! Come with me!

- Please, dad.
- Lena.

- No! I won't leave you!
- Lena!

- I won't leave you!
- I love you, Peaches.

- Now get on here.
- No!

- Lena!
- I won't leave you.

I wont leave you!
Daddy, please!

AJ, Jonas, get off
that boat now! Come on!

Dad! Dad!

No! No!

No! Dad!

Daddy!

- No! Dad!
- Let him go.

- Let him go.
- Don't! No! Don't!

- Let him go.
- Don't leave me.

No! Dad!

Three queens.

You're cheating.

Good girl.

Perfect.

I love you, Peaches.
