The Twilight Zone (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

ANNIE: Yes, Mr. Smith.

PHIL [OVER PHONE]: Annie, the test
groups need to be ready by Monday.

ANNIE: Yes, sir, of course.
Do I need to find someone else?

ANNIE: I was just pointing out
I've only been here two months

and wanted to make sure
you were comfortable

with me administrating
the tests.

PHIL: This isn't rocket science.

I'm glad to take it
off your plate.

Bye, Annie.

DYLAN: You know,
you don't have to agree to everything

Phil asks of you.
[CHUCKLES]



Eh, it's no big deal.

We're doing a trial
for that new medicated lip balm.

I'm just organizing
the placebo group.

You could try saying no
to the assignment.

Mm. I feel weird saying no.

I don't want them to think
I'm... I'm not a team player.

I'll talk to Phil.

ANNIE: Oh, no, you...

You don't have to do that.

I'm on it.

Do you have plans to see
the Perseids tonight?

The meteor showers.
It's supposed to be, like,

the best light show in 30 years.

I've got to call the lab,



reserve a conference room,

I got to find subjects, and I...

Meteors,

lobsters,

corn...

[LAUGHS]
Uh...

Okay.

Yeah?

I'll see you then.

I'll see you then.

Space germs? Yeah.

[DYLAN SCREAMING]

Meet Annie Miller.

Annie has always seen
the world as a place

where she could maintain control
if she just played by the rules.

But tonight marks
the beginning of a change,

both in her and in the idyllic
town she's always called home.

On the eve
of her sister's birthday,

Annie will be forced
to contend with an event

well out of her control,

and a simmering violence
about to boil over...

into The Twilight Zone.

[THE TWILIGHT ZONETHEME PLAYING]

NARRATOR: You're traveling
through another dimension,

a dimension not only of
sight and sound but of mind.

It is the middle ground
between light and shadow,

between science
and superstition.

And it lies between
the pit of one's fears

and the summit of
one's knowledge.

You are now traveling through
a dimension of imagination.

You've just crossed over
into The Twilight Zone.

DJ [OVER RADIO]: Only hours
after the meteor shower,

the little red rocks
have already become

sought-after memorabilia
here in the town of Newbury.

We're already counting
several public and private

Facebook pages dedicated
to enthusiasts

showing off their
little pieces of history.

And of course
the celestial visitors

have sparked
more than a few superstitions.

Many people are organizing
meteor shower celebrations.

Some local stores are jumping
on the bandwagon

by imprinting T-shirts, coffee
mugs, and even telescopes.

And of course we have a report
from a local hospital

of a baby being born
during the shower.

They would like to celebrate
the birth of their child by...

Morning, Annie.

We all set
for the test group on Monday?

Uh, yes, sir. All set.

I spoke to Dylan this morning.
I want you to brief him,

and I'll have him
take it from here.

Dylan?
Oh, I'd hate to trouble him.

I thought he was tied up
with Perry on the launch.

I'm pretty sure I can handle it.

Well, I'm sure, too, Annie,
but there are protocols here.

Annie, protocols are the methods

we use here.

Dylan is point on managing
laboratory analysis

for the testing marketing group.

Plus, he's one of the best
here at the company, Annie.

Stick with him, do as he does,

and you'll move up fast here.

Huh?

So, uh,

since that's off your plate,

looks like Olivia and I
will see you tonight

at your sister's
birthday dinner.

And now, warrior.

[BELL RINGS]

Look, I told you,
I had my account

under my ex-wife's address.

I just need you to get
the papers out of there, okay?

N-N-No, you listen.

[BANGING][MAN GRUNTING]

[HORN HONKS]
Lady,

can you move?

[HORN HONKING]

[PANTING]

[GASPS]

[SIGHS]

Yo, Auntie A, were you sleeping?

'Cause that'd be weird.

Um, no, I...

I was taking a moment,
that's it.

Right.

Oh, God, you're taller.

Yep.

How is it that you're taller?

Well, I'm growing at a
normal rate, I guess,

but you don't, uh,
see me very often.

That's how that works.

Hey, how crazy was last night?

There were meteors
all over the place.

Kids at school are
obsessed with them.

Yeah.

A couple landed behind this guy's house.
It was crazy.

"This guy"?

You went on a little date, huh?

What's wrong? What happened?

Uh... he just, uh,

he just got weird on me.

That sucks.

If only there was a way to
figure out which, which guys

were gonna be assholes,
you know?

[SIGHS]
I wish I could kick his ass.

[CHUCKLES] And what good
would that do?

Well, you know...

Why do guys always
want to kick ass?

'Cause we're dudes!

Thank you, Phil,
Olivia, I love it.

Cole, put this in
your bathroom. You're welcome.

Yes, yes.

Those are awesome.
[CHUCKLES]

Okay, and, oh, what's next?

Oh, what on earth could this be?

OLIVIA: No idea.
I don't, I don't have any...

It's a James Patterson novel.
Could we...?

[LAUGHTER]

Um, the-the receipt's
on the bottom.

I'm sure there's a fancier
skillet you would want.

What is that?
That's a nine-inch, right?

I love it, Annie!
Thank you.

We need this. Mike. Yeah.
That's a good one.

I could've used this bad boy
for that eggplant terrine,

by the way.
Definitely.

First time we had that
was in Paris, right?

He wouldn't... Sorry.

You go. No. Do you want...?
You can tell it, I don't care.

No. Love you.
I love you.

Uh, so, I go into the kitchen to
ask the chef for the recipe...

He means in French.
[LAUGHS]: Right.

Just get that in.

But my-my-my French is,
uh-uh, très mauvais.

So-so, the chef
answered in English.

[LAUGHTER]
Just to make a point.

You should've had Martha ask.
Her French is amazing.

And send her
into the den of louts

that is a Parisian kitchen?

No. Non.
See?

MARTHA: This is my big, brave hero.

There are still some
good men out there, okay?

So, let's just remember that, like...
PHIL: Thank you.

Seriously, this was so great.
BOTH: Thank you.

You know what's weird is terrine
isn't technically a-a pâté.

Okay, can you mansplain that
to us some other time, dear?

Hey, man, get woke.
[LAUGHTER]

MARTHA: Wow. Okay.

Oh, Phil,

Annie has been telling me
that she absolutely loves

her new job, so thank you
for that opportunity.

Well, the new job loves her.
I mean, this girl is the best

entry-level person
they've had there in years.

Ah.

I'm thinking of pairing her

with our best project manager, Dylan.

- MARTHA: Really?
- MIKE: Dylan.

I mean, doesn't it sound like
a dream team, Annie? [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]
MARTHA: Wow.

Mm-hmm.
What do you think, Anne?

Does he have some potential?

Annie?

[LAWN MOWER RUNNING OUTSIDE]

[LAWN MOWER CLANKS, STOPS]
LARRY: Aah! Fuck!

What was that?

Larry, you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good, I'm good.

It's kind of late to be mowing,

isn't it? Yeah, well, the kids

didn't do it again.
I told them to do it.

Jesus, Larry, it's a mud pool.

Is there something in your water?
Why's it red?

I... I called water and power,

they said it's
like this everywhere.

I mean, it seems harmless,
but it smells like shit.

MIKE: Yeah, smells like it.
Hey, t-turn

the-the-the hose off.
You know, it's probably a result of the

iron oxide in the hose

interacting with the
oxygen in the air.

MARTHA: You know what, I...

It sounds like you guys
have this handled.

We have to go. I'm sorry.
Robyn's gonna be waiting.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

Thank you.
Go.

Yes. Bye, honey. Thank you for the present.

Hey, man, it-it stinks
and I can smell it in our house.

Yes, I know that.

The sports car is so
tiny, my face is smooshed

underneath the steering wheel.

MARTHA: Oh, my God, Robyn.
You've got to be kidding me.

What did you do? We pulled over.

No, you... No, you did not. Right there,

off the highway.[LAUGHTER]

Every once in a while,

we'd see headlights and Clark
would be like, "Stop moving."

My face is mushed and I'm like,
"Clark, we're married, it's okay

that we do this!"

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

MEN [CHANTING]: Shoot the stone!

Shoot the stone!
Shoot the stone!

Shoot the stone! Shoot
the stone! Shoot the stone!

Come on, get after it.

MARTHA: Are those meteorites?

You guys, that is Zeke the geek.

OLIVIA: Yeah, he used to be

so bullied in high school.

Well, it looks like
some things never change.

Forget about Zeke.
Who is that?

I like your earrings...

He's the new guy
from Phil's office.

What? Is it?
Oh, it is.

Dylan. The one Annie's

being "paired up" with.
[LAUGHS]

Okay, okay, I'll stop.
ROBYN: What is wrong with you guys?

Invite him over here.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
No, no, no, no, no.

Why?
Come on.

We're having fun here.

Yeah, but, Annie, he's hot.

I bet he'd be good in bed.

Not everything's about sex, Martha.

It's not?

[LAUGHTER]

[CLEARS THROAT] I need to...
I'm gonna get some air.

Oh...
Annie...

Thanks, man.

ANNIE: This must be Steve.

Shit.

Bold move. You know,
your mom's right inside.

Yeah, it's just for a friend.

You know how many times your
mom and I used that line?

Yeah.

I won't tell if you won't.

Hey, thanks for being cool.

Just don't drink it here.

Nah, we're hanging on
my dad's boat, the Achilles,

down by the docks.

I wish I was 15.

Be safe, okay?

Yeah.

Bye, Annie.

CROWD [CHANTING]: Shoot the stone!
Shoot the stone!

Shoot the stone!
Shoot the stone!

Shoot the stone!

Shoot the stone!
Shoot the stone!

MAN: Come on, shoot it,
shoot it, shoot it! Yeah!

Hey, my turn. My turn.

No, man, you've had plenty.

Zeke is wasted.

BARTENDER: How about I get you a
nice glass of cold water, on me.

I'll throw down, yeah.

Get me another.

I got to repeat myself?
No.

It's so sad when a dude
doesn't know his limits.

What is wrong with them?

It's just assholes
being assholes.

[GASPING]

What the hell? Let's go. Yeah.

Come on. Wow, seriously, man?

Okay, uh,
I think that's our cue.

What?
No.We're gonna call it a night.

Annie, we don't have to go.

Yes... Come on. Just one more...

Okay, we don't even have the check.
It's okay, I got it.

You got it?
Okay.Yeah.

Think you're getting a little
aggressive, aren't you? No.

You're going to apologize for...
[SHOUTS]

[GASPING]

You fucking hear me?!

I told you to stop
fucking with me!

[GROANING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

WOMAN: Call the cops!

Move it, bitch.

MAN: Hey, guys,
break it up, come on.

[GRUNTING]

Hey, aren't you
that girl from work?

Um... It's me, Perry.

Yeah.

Real fucking polite.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]
Come on, let's go.

Oh, you think you're so hot?

Fucking bitch.

Stop ignoring me,
you fucking bitch!

I mean, has everyone
lost their minds?

Everyone back there
just had too much to drink.

That's-that's all it...

The guys definitely had too much
to drink. I mean, the girls...

Not you, of course...
But the rest of us,

we had too much to drink...

Is that guy following us? What?

No. I don't, I don't think so.

No, no.
That-that's a motorcycle.

That guy Perry had a motorcycle.

A-All right, take, take a right.
Take a right here.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[PANTING]

Uh... Uh, he's still there.

Yeah.

Uh, take, uh, take a left.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Shit.

Okay,

take a, uh, take a,
take another left.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Okay. Go. Go.

I don't see him.
Is he still there?

No. No, he's gone. Thank God.

Martha, something is happening.

That fight, t-those guys,
a-and then Dylan last night,

I mean, I-I don't know.Wait. What?

This can't be a coincidence.
Something happened with Dylan?

It was, it was like
those people at the bar.

Dylan attacked you?

I don't know. No, he...

I guess

I gave him a, a confusing vibe.

We were making out and then he,
he just got fucking nuts.

MARTHA: Annie,
why didn't you tell me?

Shit.

Fucking piece of shit.

Annie.

I did. I-I tried.

[EXHALES]

I tried, in that, just, I...

um...

I just didn't say anything.

I'm still processing
what happened.

Okay.

I get it.

You do?

I mean, yeah.
I mean, before Mike, I've...

been on a million shitty dates,
just like everybody, right?

And a few of them were...

...a little more than shitty.

So, yeah... But...

you don't always have to handle

everything on your own
all the time, Annie.

Thanks.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

[CLICKING]

I know this sounds ridiculous, but...

I think it's the meteors.

Wait, what? That's stupid.

Out loud, that sounds stupid.

Even in your head, that sounds stupid.
What are you s...

The meteorites?

It's not like everyone in town
touched one.

Dylan had one. The guy at
the bar took a shot with one.

I... Shit.
[ENGINE APPROACHES]

Oh, shit.
Shit, shit, shit.Shit. Shit, shit.

Shit. Come on!

MARTHA: Come on.

Okay, go.
Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go.
I got my keys.

I got my keys, go.

[PANTING] Oh, my God!
Hey, are you okay?

Oh, my God. Um... What's up?

We should call the police.
MARTHA: And there's a... there's...

The police? Why? What happened?
There's a man... [STAMMERS]

A-A man followed us
and he is out there right now.

Wait, a man followed you
and he's here.

Yes.

[ENGINE REVVING]
[QUIETLY]: Oh, my God.

I'll handle it.
[LOCK CLICKS]

No, hon, I don't think
that's a good idea...

I said I will handle it!

Annie, can you see anything?

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
MAN: Hey!

Call 911.

Wha...

Call 911!
Okay.

Martha?

We have to leave now.

Out the back. Quick.
Wait, what?

What are you talking about?
Mike is out there.

We can't leave him.
Martha!

Mike is sick.

What?
It's not just him.

He has the same signs
as a lot of people.

Since the meteors.

And it's just the men.

Cole... Huh, Mike?

Just, uh, put it down,

I just saved you two

from a fucking psychopath.

How about a little thank you?

Okay, Mike, you-you-you,
you don't have to yell.

I'm not yelling!

You know, maybe next time,

you don't lead
a lunatic to my house.

Two girls drinking
at a fucking bar?

You're asking for it.

A-Asking for it? Don't interrupt me!

PHIL: Annie! Wait!
Please! Is it Phil?

Annie! Listen to me.

I don't have it. Okay?

It's not all us men, okay?

It can't be all of us.

It did seem likely to me
that it's probably

a, uh, hormonal reaction,

but that would mean that-that
it's also highly likely

that it's a chromosomal
interaction with the Y...

[VOICE DISTORTS]: chromosome...
Hold up!

Hey, look, it's unlikely

that the mineral itself
is the culprit here!

I'm sorry!

[GROWLING]

[BOTH SCREAMING]

Oh...
Come on, come on.

Oh... oh...
oh, my God.

What is happening?

This is, this is crazy!
[EXHALES]

Annie, we have to do something.

Um...

What are you doing?

These... these things
are making them stronger.

We...

we have to try.

Okay?

We have to fight back.

Aw, fuck!

It's not doing anything!

Martha...

It's just the men.

I just don't want to do this

How do you know that?
Ah, don't ask.

MARTHA: Cole, please.

[STEVE GRUNTING]
Cole?

[GRUNTING]
Come on!

Cole? Cole!
Cole! Honey...

STEVE: Come on! Are you okay?

Look at me. Are you okay?
Yeah, just... it-it was...

[GRUNTING]Steve, he just,
he just went crazy. I don't...

I don't know what I did... You didn't
do anything, honey, it's not your fault.

It's... It's the meteorites.

[PANTING]
I swear he's a good guy.

He was just obsessed
with that stupid fucking rock.

It was magic, Annie.

It was cosmic.

Why don't you like me?

[QUIETLY]: What the fuck is that?

[WHISPERING]: Annie.

[GROWLING]: Annie!
[SCREAMING]

No! No!
[SCREAMING]

Hey!

Hey!

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

No organic compounds
in this one.

No parasites. No bacteria.
Then it must be chemical.

The meteors.
The water.

It's the only commonality
amongst these men.

Something caused this.

Hi.
I, uh...

They took my blood.

Yeah.
I'm cool, I guess.

MARTHA: Okay. [EXHALES]

COLE: But I had this
in my back pocket

the whole night, so...

What? But Cole, Steve was near
that, and it happened to him.

Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.

It's not all of us.

Maybe there is no cure.

She's right.

Honey, don't say that.
Dad's gonna be fine.

They're not gonna find anything.

Because there's no disease.

There's no cure because

What?

I...

ANNIE: You stopped yourself from turning.

I saw you.

That's the thing.

I chose to.

I just chose to.

IDs, please. Oh, um...

Okay.

You know, I bet you'd look
much cuter if you smiled.

What did you say?

SOLDIER: Why don't you try it sometime?

No.

NEWS ANCHOR: When we come
back, a mass shooting

claims the lives of 13.

The suspect was a man in his 20s

with no motive yet known.

And two men are in custody
after a road rage incident.

More after this.

Tonight, Annie Miller found
herself in the center

of a mysterious and violent epidemic.

What she encountered
was no material disease,

but rather a plague
of conscience.

One that gave men
permission to ignore decency,

consent and fear.

And tonight, all it took

was a few innocuous little
rocks to turn men into monsters.

Here... in The Twilight Zone.
