Wayward Pines (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 1 - Where Paradise Is Home - full transcript

Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke begins his investigation into the disappearance of two federal agents.

I'm glad you're here, Ethan.

Have you, uh, spoken to anyone
else about what happened?

Talked to my partner.

Do you find it helpful
to talk to him?

Her.

She's been really supportive.

Good.

What about your wife?

Have you talked to
your wife about it?

I wish I could, but...

some things are
classified and...



So the person who's
supposed to be closest to you

doesn't know what
you're going through.

Ethan...

if someone is to blame
for the Easter bombings,

it's whoever signed
those release papers,

not you.

You had no choice.

You were following orders.

I was watching the guy,

I knew he was dirty,
and I let him go.

That's on me.

Have you been experiencing

any more hallucinations?

No.



I mean, I've had a few
nightmares here and there,

but nothing like what I
was experiencing before.

Really?

What do you mean by
"hallucinations"?

People or objects
that aren't really there.

Are you okay?

Where am I?

You're in Wayward
Pines, Idaho.

Idaho?

Should I call an ambulance?

Mr. Burke?

Mr. Burke?

I can get you something
stronger for the pain.

Hmm?

I'm fine.

Anything I can do to
make you more comfortable,

just name it.

Thank you.

Dr. Carol will be in to see you shortly.
You mind if I check your blood pressure?

Oh, please.

I know you had a concussion
and a few cracked ribs.

Could have been much worse.

Apparently it was a
nasty car accident.

Does your wife know
that one of the missing agents

you're looking for
is Kate Hewson?

Why open up old wounds?

Anyway, it's classified.

Well, it seems kind of strange

that Hassler would
choose you for this one.

What happened between
Kate and I, it's over. Okay?

But she was my partner.

And that means something.

You expect me to
believe that if you...

A-plus for you.

I'm Nurse Pam, by the
way, and you are?

I'm Ethan Burke.

Correct.

It's good to see your
memory's coming back.

You were delirious
when you came in.

Couldn't remember
who you were.

And what about
Agent Stallings?

Who?

Stallings.

The other guy that was
in the car with me.

I'm afraid he didn't make it.

No.

Was he a close
friend of yours?

I need to call my wife.

Oh, I believe the Sheriff's
Department got in touch

with your emergency
contacts after the accident.

Where's my phone and
the rest of my things?

Oh, we don't have
anything of yours.

But I can certainly put on
my Nancy Drew detective hat

and check into that for you.

I bet the Sheriff's
office has everything.

See this little black button?

I'm just one click away.

I want whatever's left
of the car transferred here.

We're taking over
the investigation.

I can't believe they waited
a day and a half to call us.

The body was so badly burned,

it took them two whole days to
figure out who Stallings was.

All right, but why was he
the only one in the car?

He's with Ethan Burke.

Well, maybe he wasn't
with Ethan Burke.

Yeah, but Ethan
checked in by e-mail

at 1:21 PM from Lowman, Idaho,
where they stopped for gas.

Jimmy, anything could have happened
between Lowman and the ball of fire

- by the side of the road 20 miles later, okay?
- Just take it easy.

Including the possibility
that Ethan Burke's body

was so badly burned that
there was nothing left of it.

I'll call their families.

I'll call their families.

Hey, sweetie. It's me.

We're hanging out
at the water today.

I'm just thinking about you.

Uh, your phone keeps
going straight to voicemail.

I hope everything's okay.

I'm probably being
paranoid, I know.

But, uh, call us
when you can, okay?

I love you. Bye.

Fish tacos.

Yes!

You know what kind of fish
you can find in a hospital?

No. What?

A sturgeon.

- Ha ha.
- Yeah.

Who was on the phone?

You are so nosy.

Was it dad?

No, I was leaving a message.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Mom, I can tell
when you're lying.

Everyone has a tell.

Whoa. You sound like your dad.

"Everybody has a tell"?

What's my tell?

You pause and look
to the right.

Hmm.

Well...

You don't need to know
everything all the time, Ben.

You want to take a picture...
for your dad?

Fine.

- Hello?
- Theresa. It's Adam Hassler.

Adam, hi.

Is everything okay?
I haven't heard...

Theresa, there's
been an accident.

Well, look who's
up and at 'em.

Where's the doctor?
It's been hours.

Dr. Carol was tied up all day

in one of those
emergency surgeries,

some eight-hour nightmare.

But I gave him your vitals and
he says you're doing A-okay.

What kind of a hospital
is this, anyway?

Where is everybody?

- They're busy.
- All right.

Well, what... what
about my things?

I'm working on it, captain.

And I had a briefcase.

Working on it, captain.

Why don't you work on
getting me a phone?

- Any phone.
- I wish I could,

but we don't have phone
jacks in the patient rooms.

I mean, who wants all that
ringing and chattering

while patients are trying
to heal and sleep, right?

Right.

I'll be back in an
hour with your dinner.

Green beans and gravy.

- What on earth are you doing?
- I'm leaving.

Mr. Burke, I can't
let you leave.

You're in no condition
to be leaving.

Well, I appreciate
your concern.

Mr. Burke...

you're not thinking clearly.

Move your foot.

Move your foot.

I'm worried about you.

What's wrong?

What?

Mom, you can tell
me the truth.

That was Adam Hassler.

Your dad may have been
in a car accident.

What? Is he okay?

Mom.

There's nothing to
worry about yet.

Okay?

- He wasn't at the scene of the accident.
- Yeah.

And I bet he went
to go look for help

and that they're gonna
find him soon. Okay?

Everything's gonna be fine.

Look at me. I'm not worried.

I know he's okay.

Kitchen's closing
in 10 minutes.

Oh, my God. What
happened to you?

I was in a car accident.

Shouldn't you be
at the hospital?

I was already over there.

I need a phone.

Sure. No problem.

Thanks.

There you go.

Well, can I get you
something to eat?

The kitchen's gonna
be closing soon.

Yeah. I'd love a cheeseburger.

But I lost my wallet
in the accident.

I was over at the
Sheriff's Office.

They told me that's
where my things are.

But it's closed.

How do you want your burger?

Bloody, no onions.

You got it.

Thanks. I got to tell you,

you're the first normal person
that I've met in this town.

And, uh, when I get my
wallet, I'll come back...

And give me a really
big tip, right?

Right.

So, what brings you
to Wayward Pines, anyway?

Business.

What kind of business?

I'm in the Secret Service.

Secret Service?

What, is the President here?

You know, don't you
Secret Service guys

protect the President?

We handle other
things, as well.

Well, you can let me
handle your dinner.

Well, I appreciate it.
Hey, what's your name?

Beverly.

Beverly. Ethan.

You've
reached the Burkes.

Sorry we aren't here
to take your call

unless you're a telemarketer.

Then we are thrilled
to have missed your call.

Otherwise, leave a message.

Theresa, it's me. Uh, look.

They probably already told you
that I was in an accident.

I'm okay.

For some reason,

they've been unable to locate my...
my phone and my wallet.

I'm in, uh, Wayward
Pines, Idaho.

Try calling me at the
Wayward Pines Hotel.

Love you. Bye.

That was fast.

You wanted it bloody.

So, what exactly are
you doing here,

Mr. Secret Agent Man?

Maybe I can help.

A Missing-Persons
investigation.

Who went missing?

A couple of our own.

Missing here?

You seen any new faces around
town over the last month?

None, really.
Except for yours.

What about Kate Hewson?
Bill Evans?

You ever heard of them?

Not ringing any bells.

Why? Did something
bad happen to them?

I don't know.

Hmm.

Well, I hope you
find what you're looking for.

Here's the damage.

What's this?

You don't have a phone.

You have no ID, no money.

You don't know a soul in town.

That's where I live.

If you find yourself
in any trouble,

you can look me up.

So you believe me, huh?

I always believed you.

_

Mr. Burke?

Hi. Checkout's at 11:00.

I'm sorry. I must have, uh...
overslept.

Sorry.

What happened to "I'll
pay first thing"?

Are the phones working yet?

- Why wouldn't the phones be working?
- I don't know.

I couldn't get a dial
tone last night,

and I've been
expecting some calls.

Oh, no one's called for you.

Are you sure?

I kind of find that
hard to believe.

Oh, I'm sure.

I'm the only one
who's been working

the front desk
since you got in.

Who were you expecting
to hear from?

Well, that would be
none of your business.

Okay. Maybe they don't
want to talk to you.

Have you found your wallet?

No. Do you have any Aspirin?

No.

I'm gonna have to ask you
to evacuate the room.

You're gonna have
to ask me to what?

Evacuate... right now.

Huh. I'll be just a moment.

Wait.

I'm going to, uh, get
ready to evacuate.

Beverly?

Evans.

Special Agent Ethan Burke.

I'm here to see the Sheriff.

Hi, Arnie.

There's a man here to see you.

Says he's a secret
agent or something.

Special Agent.

I don't know.

He's very disheveled.

Okay.

Okay.

You can go on back.

He's the last office
on the right.

Ethan Burke.

Secret Service.

Arnold Pope...

Sheriff.

Rough little accident
you had couple days back.

How you feeling?

Better.

Better than the guy
whose corpse I just found

decomposing in a house
six blocks from here.

Elaborate on "I just found."

Last night, a bartender
gave me an address.

She didn't give
me a phone number

because I don't have my phone.

Evidently you have it here.

Why would I have your phone?

Well, I was told that
you had my things.

Who told you that?

That nurse over
at the hospital.

I got no clue where she
got that idea from.

Rum raisin.

Mm. You like rum raisin?

I need to make some calls.

Um, can I borrow that phone?

Of course.

Just as soon as you
finish this story

about the decomposing body.

Well, I followed the address
that the bartender gave me.

And that's where I
found Agent Evans,

tortured... and mutilated.

Clearly, he'd been there
for quite some time.

Agent Evans.

Bottom line is,
I was sent here

to find two of our agents,

and now I'm only
looking for one.

What's the name of the
other missing agent?

Um, her name is Kate Hewson.

What's she look like?

27 years of age,

red hair,

hazel eyes, beautiful...

by anyone's standards.

We'll put the word out.

And, uh, if you don't mind,

- now I'd like to make those calls.
- 'Course.

But what was that address

of the...

dead agent?

- 604 First Avenue.
- Hmm.

I'll walk you over there.

Not necessary.

No, no. I-I want to.

I don't want you to.

Mr. Hassler.
Thank you for coming.

Hi. So, when can we get the
download from the GPS module?

We can't find the GPS module.

What do you mean?

That's not all we can't find.

There's no evidence that Ethan
Burke was even in the car.

Hey. Uh, it's me.

Um, I'm still in this town.

Um, Theresa, Ben,

if you're getting
these messages,

call me here at the Wayward Pines
Sheriff's Office in Idaho.

I hope you're getting
my messages.

Secret Service.

Yeah. Hi. This is Ethan Burke.

I need to speak
with Adam Hassler.

He's out of the
office right now.

Is there something I
can do for you, sir?

Yeah. I'll just
call his cellphone.

Could you give me
that number, please?

I'm afraid I'm not allowed
to give out that information.

Who am I speaking with?

Marcy.

Right. You're new.

This is my third day.

Great. Well, listen up, Marcy.

I'm in Wayward Pines, Idaho,

and I've got a dead
agent on my hands.

So get Hassler on the
phone immediately.

A-a-and, to tell
you the truth,

I don't care if
he's in a meeting.

I don't care if he's
sitting on the toilet.

Get him on the phone!

I'm sorry.

I can't continue
this conversation

with you speaking
to me like...

Tell him to call Ethan Burke

at the Wayward Pines
Sheriff's Office

and he has to do it as soon
as he gets this message.

Do you understand me?

I'll give him the message.

Very good. Thank
you very much.

Hi.

I'm looking for Beverly.

Who?

She was bartending here...

last night.

You were here last night?

That's correct.

And there was a
girl tending bar?

There's only two
people that work here.

There's a guy named
Steve, and me.

No, no, no.
She waited on me... here.

I sat here.

And I ate a burger.

Don't take this the wrong way, buddy,
but how much did you have to drink?

I know I was here,

and I know who...
I know who served me.

Well, maybe it was
a different place.

Whoa.

You okay? Huh?

You all right?

She was here.

- Okay.
- Why are you doing this?

Okay, I'm not...
I-I'm sorry to do this,

but I got to ask you to leave!

- All I want to do is leave.
- Hey.

All I want to do is get out
of this rotten, insane town!

O-okay. Okay.
Get your hands off of me, sir.

Don't tell me that
she wasn't here!

Get off of me!

Beverly! Beverly!

10-16-28 is not doing well.

Happy birthday, sweetie.

I know what you're
gonna wish for.

Yeah? What's that?

A guitar.

No. I think I'm
just gonna wish

that you guys don't end up
like everybody else's parents.

No matter how much
your mother can't stand me,

she's stuck with me.

Yeah, we're stuck
with each other.

Nice.

I got to take this call.

Yeah?

Mmm.

Yes.

Yeah, I'm just at my...
my kid's birthday.

I'll call you back.
I'll give you the info then.

Okay. Yeah. Okay.

I got to go out of
town for a few days.

- Everything okay?
- Yep.

There he is.

Who are you?

My name is Dr. Jenkins.

Do you know where you are?

No. You want to take off
these handcuffs, please?

If I told you

you were in a hospital
in Wayward Pines, Idaho,

would that sound familiar?

Yes.

Still have the headache?

No. I don't have a headache.

Ethan, do you have
a history of mental illness?

What kind of doctor are you?

Psychiatrist.

Your MRI shows

there's bleeding
on your brain.

We think that's
why you're having

this dissociative breakdown in
your memory, your awareness.

I'm not delusional.

I'm not having hallucinations.

With great respect,

you wouldn't know if you were
having an hallucination.

I mean,

walking around

with an epidural hematoma

is very, very dangerous.

I'm not having a
dissociative breakdown.

You see, it's not me.

It's this town.

It's... it's just a town.

You were in a
terrible accident.

We just want to
get you better.

That's why I'm getting you
ready to go into surgery.

We need to drain the blood.

I don't consent to surgery.

I want to be transported
to a hospital in Boise.

Yes. Yes, we thought of that.

And when we spoke
to the surgeons in Boise...

- I would like to speak to that surgeon.
- Everyone...

I would like to speak
to the surgeon in Boise!

Nurse, please.
Would you calm him down?

I would like to speak to
the surgeon in Boise!

Let's see if we can make you
just a pinch more comfortable.

Take these cuffs off me!
Take them off!

Just a little something
to calm those jangled nerves.

What's that? What is it?
What is it? All right. Look.

I don't want it.

- Hold still.
- I don't want it!

Hold still, Mr. Burke,

or I'll jam this bad boy
straight to the bone.

That's the way.

Aah!

Hey!

Hey!

What the...?

I never got that big
tip you promised.

What's happening?

We'll talk as soon
as you're safe.

It it stops and someone
gets on, we fight.

- Okay.
- You okay to run?

That crazy nurse shot
me with a sedative.

I'll be out cold in
like five minutes.

Got it?

Locked.

Huh?

Wait in there.

Hey. Where will you be?

I'll be right here.

Mr. Burke?

I know you can hear me.

Since you are my very
favorite new patient,

I'll make you a deal.

Be a good sport, come on out.

I'll give you a present.

The present is anesthesia
for your surgery, Mr. Burke.

I hope you understand

that the sedative I
gave you upstairs

will render you unconscious...

...any moment now.

If you don't come
out and surrender,

I promise you won't roll
into surgery right away.

You'll wake up on the
operating table,

but you won't be able to move.

And this is because of the
monster dose of suxamethonium

I'll have administered.

The only movement you'll
be capable of is blinking.

The surgery will take hours,

and you'll be awake,
alive, and alert

for every agonizing second.

I know you can hear
me, Mr. Burke,

because I'm standing
outside the room

where you are hiding,
hiding in a corner,

hoping I'll walk blindly past.

Now I'm angry.

Get up!
Come on.

- Get up!
- Oy!

Hang on to me.

Come on!

I've got to hide you
before you pass out.

I can't feel my legs.

I know. One more block.

Few more steps.

Come on.

You'll be safe here.

Do you work in
that bar or not?

Yes.

They're trying to
break your mind.

What happened to Evans?

He tried to escape.

Why are you helping me?

I was a software sales rep.

I came to outfit the school
with protection from Y2K.

And when I walked
up to the school,

I was hit by a motorcycle.

They came out of the blue,

and they said I had
a head injury and memory loss.

What? When?

October 21, 1999.

Actually, next week
will be my anniversary.

I'll have been in Wayward
Pines for a whole year.

What? You think it's... 2000?

It's 2014.

It's 2014...

Just doesn't make any sense.

I mean, if Ethan is alive,

then why hasn't anybody
heard from him?

And if he's dead,
why hasn't anybody found him?

Theresa, they didn't
find anything.

Okay?

What do you mean?

I mean they didn't...

I mean they didn't
find anything.

There was no trace
of Ethan's blood

or his skin or his hair
or residual sweat,

not even degraded DNA.

So he wasn't in the car.

It doesn't look like it.

Is he with her?

Please, Adam.

You are my friend,
and I need you to tell me.

Yes, I am your friend.

I don't know where Ethan is.
That is the truth.

But you knew where
he was going, right?

Wh-where you sent him.

T, I cannot disclose
any details.

Look, I am doing everything
that I can to find him.

I promise you.

Hey, all right.
Get back to it.

Bye.

You too.

All right, Harold. I'm watchin'.

It's not even close,
don't worry.

Okay.

You got winners, right, Joe?

Hey.

Everyone's waiting for you
in the conference room.

I just need a minute.

Hey. What's going on?

Talk to me.

Jenny Hasboro was a
26-year-old medical student.

Leonard Slomotov...

Stop it.

- ...11 children.
- Stop.

I read about them
in the paper.

I memorize their names.

621 people.

That's on me.

Don't.

You know it never ends.

But it will get better.

You'll think about
it every day...

maybe for the rest
of your life.

But little by little,

you'll think of it less
and other things more.

Your life will return to you.

Okay?

Ethan.

We're partners.

Uh, come on, Harold.

We're gonna miss our program.

Okay. Well, I...

- We got to go.
- Right now?

Yeah.

I'm so far ahead of him,

- it would be rude of me to leave.
- Bye, girls. Excuse me, okay?

Bye. See you later.

- Okay?
- All right.

- Oh, sorry. Look out!
- Aah!

I am so doing your laundry.

- Really?
- Come on.

- I have bets placed on you.
- So sorry.

- All right.
- Bye.

Bye.

Hey, there.

How can I help you?

Is Kate here?

Who are you?

Um, a friend of hers.

- Hey, Kate.
- Mm-hmm?

There's someone at the door.

Yes?

Kate?

Hey, um...

I came here to find you.

You must be confusing
me with someone else.

I-I don't think
that's possible.

Do you?

- I'll be in in a moment.
- Okay.

Here.

What's happening?

Sit down.

They're watching us.

- Who?
- Shh.

And listening.

Kate, what the
hell is happening?

Hey. Why are you...

You look...

Everybody gets older.

I don't understand.

- You live here?
- Yes.

For how long?

12 years.

That's impossible.

You were with me
five weeks ago!

I don't have answers for you, Ethan.
You should go.

Kate, I'm in trouble.

Right now. You have to go.

Now you are putting
my life at risk and Harold's.

From who?

You could be happy
here, Ethan.

You could have an
amazing life here.

Kate...

Is it happening again?

Am I having a relapse?

Hey!

_

_

_

_

Adam.

Adam, you... you
wanted to see me?

If there's time, I
want to call it off.

But it's done, Adam.

All been taken care of.

Th-there's nothing for
you to worry about.

_

_

No messages.

You didn't make it
too far, did you?

How do I get out of here?

You don't.
