Too Old to Die Young (2019): Season 1, Episode 4 - Volume 4: The Tower - full transcript
Viggo brings Martin under his wing, giving him a chance to prove himself.
Look at me.
Do you like what you see?
Well, I knew you'd
come back to us eventually.
The murderer always returns
to the scene of his crime.
Oh, I know,
this isn't the exact spot
where the deed occurred,
but you had to see her,
didn't you?
You had to see the result
of your monstrous act.
- But I loved her.
- You loved her.
What do you know
about love?
I've love her ever since
she was a child.
No, you did it,
and you must pay for it.
How did you find her?
She was
such a sweet girl.
I thought
the shooting gallery
was closed tonight.
It is, it sounded like
it came from over there.
What's going on
in here, buddy?
My partner...
was at the driver's window.
I was at the back.
Guy in the passenger
seat moves.
I can see something
in his hand.
So I... fire into the car.
Over and over...
and over.
And over.
They told me the, uh...
girl in the back seat...
was, uh, 15.
I never saw her
until she was dead.
I keep seeing her now.
This little girl.
And it's just, uh...
I don't know,
what am I supposed to do?
She's just a...
little... girl.
And, uh...
if, uh--
If I could just--
If I could have just
controlled myself.
And now...
I've lost everything.
Why I couldn't
go back on patrol.
Can't even look at my wife.
And...
I just--
Just feel like, um...
wrong.
Like I, uh--
Like I shouldn't be here.
Like I'm...
I'm just...
wrong.
I'm...
I'm-- I'm wrong.
Let's all thank Greg
for sharing.
All right.
So that's our time.
I'll see you all on Tuesday.
And remember:
be aware of your triggers.
Don't let fear
be your driver.
What's up, big man?
Mister family man.
Hey, George.
-Been a while.
-Yeah, glad to be back.
So, how's the construction
business treating you?
Ah, decent.
I've been on a job
up in Santa Barbara.
Well, there's a great meeting
Tuesdays and Thursdays
up in Montecito.
Yeah, I'll check it out.
You should.
Gotta take care of yourself.
Yeah.
Always good to see
a new face.
I'm Quinn.
Mike.
Is this your first time?
Yeah.
George said these meetings
had been real helpful.
Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
How do you two
know each other?
Mike was in my squad
overseas.
Oh.
Well, feel free
to share next time.
We get a lot of
veterans here.
Yeah? Maybe I will.
Thank you.
I gotta clean up
a little bit,
but some of us are going to
the bar down the street.
You two want to join us?
Well...
It's not AA.
It's a PTSD meeting.
I know.
So, you guys in?
Maybe next time.
We gotta be somewhere.
Okay.
See you guys.
Be good.
That guy, Greg.
For many years now
he's been raping
his daughter.
He said that, uh,
if she told anyone,
he'd kill her mother.
How do you feel
about that?
Start the car.
Hey, Greg.
Hey, George,
what's up?
These clowns are on
the sidelines.
They're just
white noise background
for the collapse of
the American empire.
And when America falls,
my friend,
then we are headed back
to the dark ages.
Are you feelin' me here?
Now do you understand
what I mean when I say
dark ages?
I mean, humans reduced to
roving bands of barbarians.
Animals!
That's what
the dark ages were.
Little patches of
humanity and society
surrounded by a sea of
barbarian hordes.
And where there was
society--
Once there was
just men and nature.
Then men came
bearing crosses.
We used to believe that we were
the center of the universe.
That the sun and the stars
all revolved around us.
And we spent
the last 500 years
since Copernicus
in this slow crawl...
to where we are now;
to this pinnacle of
human achievement.
Where we finally
bent nature to our will.
We split the atom.
We broke the fabric
of reality.
That's how far we've come.
Now the lights of our cities
stretch further than
the stars in the sky.
But the more perfect
society gets...
the more psychotic we become.
We evolved
through brutality.
That's why we had
teeth and claws.
Self preservation was
the highest law.
But as time went on...
the pack began to
provide for us...
and we abandoned
our violent nature.
But it never went away.
Laid beside us
in our sleep.
Waiting.
And as it waited...
we became slaves to
the systems we built.
Now it's all falling apart.
Soon our cities will be
washed away by floods.
Buried in sand.
Burned to the ground.
That's why you found me.
Because you're no longer
blind to all this.
When I was in the bureau...
I got shot in the head.
I lost my eye.
My body deteriorated.
And I died
for three minutes.
But when I came back
from the other side,
everything was clear to me.
It was like
I'd been given a gift.
As the world fractures...
Someone...
Someone has to be there
to protect innocence.
Do you trust him?
Yes.
Good.
Because I see
beautiful things in him.
An undying flame who will
devour all he touches.
A new breed of destruction.
Exterminating
through violence, but...
cloaked in creation.
We will handle him with care.
But we must be cautious...
of his hunger.
For he is one of us.
Let's choose a stone.
No.
Not yet.
Choose again, Viggo.
Yes.
His name is Finnigan.
He works at a middle school.
As a track coach.
What did he do?
He molested seven students.
Okay.
Good.
Don't kill him at the school.
Thank you.
Thank God!
It's Friday!
Nice! Yeah!
Because we got
our morning treat.
- Yeah!
- And this time
you will not be
disappointed.
Uke. Uke. Uke.
Uke. Uke. Uke.
Uke. Uke. Uke.
-Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. Thank you.
You are beautiful.
You're beautiful.
-Especially Hank.
But before the fun begins,
a moment of silence...
for our brothers,
and our sisters who serve
a higher purpose.
Feels pretty good,
doesn't it?
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Give me an F.
F.
- Give me an A.
- A.
- Give me an S.
- S.
- Give me a C.
- C!
- Give me an Ism.
- Ism!
- What's
that spell?
Fascism!
- What's that spell?
- Fascism!
- Fascism!
- Fascism!
Fascism! -ALL: Fascism!
- Fascism!
- Fascism!
- Fascism!
Fascism!
Fascism! Fascism! Fascism!
Fascism! Fascism! Fascism!
-Yeah! Fascism!
-All right!
Whoo! Yeah!
Well, okay.
-That was good,
wasn't it?
-Mm-hm.
Damn.
Got a little something
special for ya...
that my mom wrote.
Woo!
It's called
"Baby Jane's Closet."
And it goes
a little bit...
like this.
Jesus.
Mary.
The baby.
Thank you.
Thank you.
-So good!
-Thank you.
You're the best!
You're the best!
You're the best!
- So good!
- Bravo!
So good!
So good!
So good!
You crush it!
Jones.
Yeah, there's
a George Jenkins
here to see you.
Who?
George Jenkins.
He said it's about
the dead ducks in his pond.
You got time to
take a drive?
I'll meet you out front.
Someone really kill
that guy's ducks?
Yeah.
It's a tragedy.
Psst.
Jones, get in here.
Come on. Come on,
come on, come on.
Get in here. Come on.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
Hey, Jones.
Want to help me and Davis
prank the Lieutenant?
-Huh?
Meet Sergeant
Manny Kin.
This guy graduated
top of his class at
the academy.
Lieutenant is
interviewing him
for the open
detective slot.
What do you think?
It's funny.
I gotta go.
-Are you sure?
-Yep.
Seriously,
what's the deal
with the ducks?
Ducks are dead.
You know, these brutes
in the inquisition,
they did not see
other people as humans.
That's how they did
what they did.
Raping, burning, pillaging.
They had this thing
called the pear.
They'd put it in
a prisoner's mouth,
and when they'd crank it,
it would open and
tear their face apart,
breaking their teeth
and their jaw.
That's what the pear
was used for.
We just might see that
come back, dear friends.
Are you ready for that?
Feel that one.
How many of you
out there want--
Mom, you have to tell me
if you want to take
a walk, okay?
I just wanted to say hi.
Hi.
Hi.
What are you doing?
Well, I just got home
from school.
So I'm doing my homework
right now.
What about you?
I'm standing in a freezer.
Why?
I'll tell you later.
Well, I have this paper due
and I need a good adjective.
Stabbed.
Can you spell that for me?
Stabbed.
You're so smart.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I gotta go, okay?
My dad's calling me.
Bye.
Janey!
Coming, Daddy.
Yeah, Daddy?
You got another one.
"It is with great pleasure
that I write to invite you
"to join the first year class
"in the college of
Arts and Sciences,
Harvard University."
Are you happy now?
Okay?
Where the hell
are you going?
I have homework.
Homework.
I'm calling bullshit.
You're a senior.
That's-- What?
That's seven now.
How many more are there?
Um... I think there's
two more.
But I still don't know
what I'm gonna do yet,
so please stop asking me.
Mum's the word.
How about we go out
and celebrate, huh?
-Grab a bite?
-No, I'm pretty tired.
Can we just get
take out or something?
Sure, sure.
Martin comin' over?
No. He's gotta work.
Mm. You talkin' to him
about all this?
We don't really get into
that stuff.
I wouldn't imagine you two
do much talking.
-Dad--
-Hey.
I'm a dad,
you're a teenager.
That's why I'm here.
To embarrass you.
Right?
I just want you
to know something.
I'm never gonna stop
carrying you, Janey.
Just because you're
a big girl now
doesn't mean that's
ever gonna end.
I remember the day
you were born.
I was the first one
you looked at.
Yeah. I know, Daddy.
Why don't you
come work for me?
Doing what?
Anything your little heart
desires.
Anything.
You spend the next
four years of your life
at a university,
be a total step backwards
for somebody like you.
You walked the red carpet
at Cannes when you were 12.
"The New Yorker" published
your essays at 14,
"The Times" had
your op-ed piece
when you were 15.
I don't want you to just
come work for me,
you're my partner.
All the way.
I mean, you--
you've always had these
incredible dreams,
and I've got hundreds of
millions to play with.
Between your insane ideas
and my Rolodex,
you and me, please.
We'd rule the world.
Your mom always said that...
you deserve everything.
Except her.
Yeah, right.
Except her.
But don't let
what happened
ever stop you from
becoming the woman
you were meant to be.
I love you, Dad.
I love you more.
You want to help her?
No.
It's a cruel world.
What are
you doing here?
Just stopping by.
Really?
What did he do?
Who?
The Korean guy.
Lots of bad stuff.
Yeah?
Like what?
If I have to explain
everything to you,
we'll be here forever.
I've got time.
I don't.
Life is short.
You just need to be
who you are.
And let us
deal with the rest.
The less you know,
the simpler it all is.
That's my daughter.
Right back out there.
Just go out there
and kill him.
Hey.
Why does Damien have
a problem with you?
I don't know.
I'm gonna
ask you again.
'Cause I was supposed to
kill you tonight.
I owe him money.
How much?
8,000.
That's it?
I'm gonna need you to get it.
Now?
Wait here.
It's all here.
All right.
We're good.
You should get that hand
looked at.
Can I get a ride to
the hospital?
No.
But that looks real bad.
Get the fuck outta here.
Keep it.
I'm not doing this
anymore.
What's the problem?
I'm not gonna
kill a guy...
over $8,000.
He knew what he was
gettin' into.
Well, I'm done.
I understand.
This isn't for everybody.
Maybe we can find you
something else to do.
You want to run some girls?
No.
What can I give you?
I want the worst guys
you got.
Let me see your phone.
Ever been to
Albuquerque?
I got something for you.
Two of them.
Brothers.
What'd they do?
They're pornographers.
They make rape films.
All you need to know...
is what they do to
all those innocent people.
All right.
I'll do it.
I'll give you...
let's say $5,000.
I don't want it.
You want the blood.
Not the money.
Well, with such
high moral standards...
how can I say no?
Hey.
What are you doing later?
I'm headed out of town
for a few days.
Okay.
What's up?
It's all right,
it can wait.
All right.
What are you doing?
I'm hunting.
Good luck.
Find what you're
looking for?
Yeah. How's it run?
Hell, runs great.
And this here is
a five liter V8 302.
And this baby
was made in America.
It will run forever.
I'll take it.
Well, let's get you
the keys.
Do you like what you see?
Well, I knew you'd
come back to us eventually.
The murderer always returns
to the scene of his crime.
Oh, I know,
this isn't the exact spot
where the deed occurred,
but you had to see her,
didn't you?
You had to see the result
of your monstrous act.
- But I loved her.
- You loved her.
What do you know
about love?
I've love her ever since
she was a child.
No, you did it,
and you must pay for it.
How did you find her?
She was
such a sweet girl.
I thought

So I... fire into the car.
Over and over...
and over.
And over.
They told me the, uh...
girl in the back seat...
was, uh, 15.
I never saw her
until she was dead.
I keep seeing her now.
This little girl.
And it's just, uh...
I don't know,
what am I supposed to do?
She's just a...
little... girl.
And, uh...
if, uh--
If I could just--
If I could have just
controlled myself.
And now...
I've lost everything.
Why I couldn't
go back on patrol.
Can't even look at my wife.
And...
I just--
Just feel like, um...
wrong.
Like I, uh--
Like I shouldn't be here.
Like I'm...
I'm just...
wrong.
I'm...
I'm-- I'm wrong.
Let's all thank Greg
for sharing.
All right.
So that's our time.
I'll see you all on Tuesday.
And remember:
be aware of your triggers.
Don't let fear
be your driver.
What's up, big man?
Mister family man.
Hey, George.
-Been a while.
-Yeah, glad to be back.
So, how's the construction
business treating you?
Ah, decent.
I've been on a job
up in Santa Barbara.
Well, there's a great meeting
Tuesdays and Thursdays
up in Montecito.
Yeah, I'll check it out.
You should.
Gotta take care of yourself.
Yeah.
Always good to see

Okay.

Be good.
That guy, Greg.
For many years now
he's been raping
his daughter.
He said that, uh,

he'd kill her mother.
How do you feel

Yeah.
It's a tragedy.

and my Rolodex,
you and me, please.
We'd rule the world.
Your mom always said that...
you deserve everything.
Except her.
Yeah, right.
Except her.
But don't let
what happened
ever stop you from
becoming the woman
you were meant to be.
I love you, Dad.
I love you more.
You want to help her?
No.
It's a cruel world.
What are
you doing here?
Just stopping by.
Really?
What did he do?
Who?
The Korean guy.
Lots of bad stuff.
Yeah?
Like what?
If I have to explain
everything to you,
we'll be here forever.
I've got time.
I don't.
Life is short.
You just need to be
who you are.
And let us
deal with the rest.
The less you know,
the simpler it all is.
That's my daughter.
Right back out there.
Just go out there
and kill him.
Hey.
Why does Damien have
a problem with you?
I don't know.
I'm gonna
ask you again.
'Cause I was supposed to
kill you tonight.
I owe him money.
How much?
8,000.
That's it?
I'm gonna need you to get it.
Now?
Wait here.
It's all here.
All right.
We're good.
You should get that hand
looked at.
Can I get a ride to
the hospital?
No.
But that looks real bad.
Get the fuck outta here.
Keep it.
I'm not doing this
anymore.
What's the problem?
I'm not gonna
kill a guy...
over $8,000.
He knew what he was
gettin' into.
Well, I'm done.
I understand.
This isn't for everybody.
Maybe we can find you
something else to do.
You want to run some girls?
No.
What can I give you?
I want the worst guys
you got.
Let me see your phone.
Ever been to
Albuquerque?
I got something for you.
Two of them.
Brothers.
What'd they do?
They're pornographers.
They make rape films.
All you need to know...
is what they do to
all those innocent people.
All right.
I'll do it.
I'll give you...
let's say $5,000.
I don't want it.
You want the blood.
Not the money.
Well, with such
high moral standards...
how can I say no?
Hey.
What are you doing later?
I'm headed out of town
for a few days.
Okay.
What's up?
It's all right,
it can wait.
All right.
What are you doing?
I'm hunting.
Good luck.
Find what you're
looking for?
Yeah. How's it run?
Hell, runs great.
And this here is
a five liter V8 302.
And this baby
was made in America.
It will run forever.
I'll take it.
Well, let's get you
the keys.
