We Are Who We Are (2020): Season 1, Episode 1 - Right Here Right Now I - full transcript

Yeah, but the rest
of their luggage is here. Yes.

A connecting flight.

Two days? Maybe three.

Alright. Sure.

I'll be expecting your call.

- It's gray with straps.
- No.

Silver gray with red straps
and you bought it for me.

Sweetheart, don't get wound up,
we'll find it.

You bought it for me.

- It could still be in Amsterdam.
- Oh no.

Why would it be in Amsterdam?



Why would it be in Amsterdam?

Maybe it's better
if we give them my number.

Why would it be in Amsterdam?

I'm thirsty.

I saw you slip that bottle
into your bag.

It's a bit early for that,
don't you think?

I'm thirsty
and my fucking bags aren't here.

Two sips. No more.

Thank you, mommy.

It's much worse than it looks.

- Can it be delivered to us?
- Sure.

- What's her name again?
- Sarah, really?

I couldn't sleep a wink
the whole flight.

I hate that we're required
to travel coach.



Her name's Jennifer.
She's Colonel Poythress' wife.

Let's hope she won't do small talk
all the way to base.

Her accent's
going to give me a headache.

Colonel.

Hi! Jennifer?

- So nice to finally meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

You must be Fraser.

- And is this Maggie?
- Sarah's wife.

Her wife. Of course, I have been...
I was informed.

Shall we go?

Sweetheart, Jenny asked you
what class you're in.

Freshman.

My daughter Caitlin is a freshman
and Danny's in eleventh grade.

What's their zodiac signs?

He's a Libra.

Uncommitted, inconclusive, evasive.

It is your astrology,
I don't believe in all that.

Fraser is obsessed
with astrological signs.

Aren't you, babe?

The base is a stone's throw away
from the sea.

We're actually connected
by a side street.

And if you'd like to visit Venice,

there's a ferry in Chioggia
that takes you straight there.

We should go on Sunday!

Remember the hotel in Cannareggio?

That guy who never stopped babbling?

- So it's not your first time in Italy?
- We came on our honeymoon.

Maggie loves it here.
Don't you, my love?

- What about Caitlin?
- Sorry?

What sign is Caitlin?

Aries. Is that any better?

I have the new Commander.

It all depends on her rising sign.

Fraser's a bit on the relentless side.

- Have a nice day.
- You, too.

Here we are! That's the house.

It's just this way.

This is the cutest place on the base.

Doesn't it look so New York?

It's the best the base can offer

but if you're not happy with it,
just let me know.

It takes a while to know
if a place is right for us.

No, it's perfect, perfect.

That's our house.

How many of our people
live off base again?

Some of the officers
and most of the soldiers.

They fixed all the shutters.
The houses need constant maintenance.

Colonel McAunty's very concerned
with tidiness.

Sweetheart, isn't this great?

We're in Italy, the cradle of art!

Colonel McAunty also kept an apartment
in town, should you be interested.

A commander should always be
with his men, Jennifer.

That's what my husband always says.

- Here are the forms for you to sign.
- Let me see it.

I'm sorry, only the sponsor can sign.

In your case, it's Sarah.

All the paperwork
will only bear her name.

Of course.

Thanks.

It was the same for me and my husband.

- You did this?
- Yes.

I also brought some pamphlets
of the local region

and I baked you a cake.

- Thank you.
- You didn't have to do that.

- Let's take the bathroom with the tub.
- No, Fraser should pick.

He doesn't care.
We'll take the one with the tub.

Hi, Dad.

No, I'm not in a crappy mood,
I'm just tired.

Mom, we're not in Venice,
we're in Chioggia.

Yes, of course we'll go to the Biennale.

I know you find it tacky, but I'm not here
on vacation. I'm in charge of a base.

He's good. He's happy.
I'll give him your love.

You can roll it, it's fine.

Just leave this here,
behind the chairs.

Oh fuck.

Can't wait to hear
the colonel's presentation.

Stuart McAunty is a shady
and conceited man.

And he's got no balls.

- Fuck.
- You were born to command.

- Stupid thing.
- I should know.

- Anything interesting out there?
- There is nothing to see out there.

- Let me do it.
- I can manage.

- What happened?
- It's just a little blood, it's fine.

Did you hurt yourself?

You okay?

- Jet lag's killing me.
- Did you take some melatonin?

I was sure it was going to be
like our first time.

But we were younger
and I wasn't in charge of a base.

It's ready!

Take a bath with me.

- This tub's smaller than ours.
- Isn't that better?

"He is naked except for a rainbow
and sandals..."

Mark, so I did my research

and eight thousand tons
of explosives are buried in the bunkers.

But on the surface
everything seems copacetic.

I love you.

Why would one build a Military Chapel
right next to the Housing office?

Doesn't make sense.

I suppose.

That's a huge cross for a place
that's supposedly multi-religious.

Most of the people here are Christians.

It's our duty
to respect those who aren't.

We've simplified a lot of the paperwork,
I'm sure you'll be impressed.

- Why are we here?
- IDs.

Welcome, Colonel.
It's a pleasure to have you on board.

I have the forms for the ration cards.

Okay.

For the base gas station...

- And for the PX.
- Great.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

Annabel. One of my father's gifts.

Glasses off.

Glasses off.

You can see my eyes.

Your first time on military base?

The policy is no sunglasses.

Show some respect, young man.

Remove the glasses and hold still.

Hey! Get off the court!

Fucking punk!

- Yes!
- Nice pass.

Do it, do it, do it!

Get it.

- Oh my God, he was so staring at me.
- Really?

I'm absolutely sure, it was so obvious.

- Oh my god!
- I know right?!

- What the heck's that?
- Can't you see? It's a horse.

Looks like an elephant to me.
Bad drawing, man.

50 percent of the parents
didn't send over their authorization.

The electronic register
was supposed to simplify our job.

We have to send out the notice
of the antiterrorism drill.

Is it already next week?

Well, yes.

Don't you remember
putting a note in about it?

Time flies.

Listen, I can get that list together
and well, we should go from there.

Yeah, I'll CC it out to everybody.

It would be so simple
if they just turned in those forms.

I know.
But you know, what can you do?

- You'll never guess who just walked in.
- Who?

The new commander's kid.
What's his name? Wilson?

- Oh, Fraser Wilson?
- You should see how he's dressed.

How's he dressed?
I can't see anyone.

Oh you'll see.
Rumor has it he's eccentric.

- So you say.
- Let me go look.

Let's just hope
he's not a snobby New Yorker.

I don't know, maybe he's lost.

Go on Caitlin, you're up next.

No giggling please.

I am he that aches with amorous love...

Start over again, Caitlin.

With a little more conviction.

Don't be afraid of these words,
of the passion that's in these words.

I am he that aches with amorous love.

Does the earth gravitate?

Does not all matter, aching,
attract all matter?

So the body of me,
to all I meet, or know.

So the body of me,
to all I meet, or know.

All right everybody, very good today.
See you next week.

Who will be the next victim?

- Did you see Sam's necklace?
- No.

He's wearing it for you, it's his way
of saying I'm chained to your love.

I don't like necklaces.
And I don't believe in love.

That makes no sense.

It's like you're always somewhere else
and never notice anything.

- Danny! Sam!
- Yo! What's up?

Please don't tell him
you don't like his necklace.

- Hey, is your brother coming?
- Yeah, it's his day off.

- Cate says she doesn't believe in love.
- You said that? Really?

I'm sure Sam's gonna make her
change her mind.

- You guys wanna get some barbecue?
- As you all know, I only live for love!

- Some barbecue, get some ribs.
- You find it everywhere.

Danny will eat anything.
He loves anything.

- With ranch sauce.
- My math teacher, I hate him so much.

Why not? I want a hamburger.

Craig!

Yo!

- Sam, you talked to dad?
- Yeah, I did.

- What did he say?
- Nothing.

Like he always does
when I tell him something.

- You always hug her first.
- Yo, let's go to our place.

- No, it's still too hot.
- What's up?

- Let's go skating.
- Yo.

I'm meeting Valentina at the beach.
Did you bring your bathing suit?

- Last time you wore your underwear.
- That was a bathing suit.

- Well it looked like underwear.
- I thought it looked nice.

- Want to hang just the two of us?
- No, I want to go to the beach.

Danny, do you want a pork taco?

I don't.

It's because he's Muslim
and he gave up pork.

- Fuck you, it's too hot.
- Hey!

Hey! Come on!

Notice the guy?

- A hamburger with ketchup.
- What the fuck are you ordering?

Yeah man, at Fort Bragg
they say she's not a lesbian.

- Says who?
- I don't know, someone who knew her.

How well did he know her? Right?

- Dude, I don't know.
- I'm just saying.

Hey, cutesy-pie! You lost?

Watch it, that's her kid.

- Shit, really?
- Well aren't you adorable!

Oh yeah!

- Hi, can I have a beer?
- ID, please.

- I don't have my ID.
- You no ID and me no "mona".

- Show me ID.
- Are you stalking us?

What? No, I'm getting a beer.

Follow me.

So you're the new kid, right?

The kid with the two moms.

You're from New York?

Yeah.

What's it like?

What do you mean?
You've never been to New York?

Ansbach in Germany, South Korea,
then here.

Supermarkets on military bases
are the same all over.

The same aisles, the same stuff.

Everything is in exactly the same place.

They say they do that
so we don't get lost.

Is that what you feel, you feel lost?

I don't know.

You can't drink beer on base,
you're a minor.

Okay. Who's going to stop me?

I don't know... a thousand soldiers?

- You want it?
- No, thank you.

- You think it's gross.
- No, I just don't want it.

You're someone who thinks it's gross
to eat ice cream someone licked.

No, I'm not.

Give me your ID.

Everyone's obsessed with IDs here.

'Cause you're nobody
without an ID here.

You're actually really cool,
I like your shirt.

- Thank you.
- Where did you buy it?

- Online.
- How much?

You don't wanna know.

You're rich as fuck, aren't you?

No. My Grandfather's well off
but we don't see him that much.

Fuck.

You're mine for the day.

Come on.

- Gimme my ID.
- No!

- Give me my ID.
- Come on!

Sorry.

- Hurry, we're going to miss the bus!
- Gimme my ID!

Stop whining. Isn't this fun?

I'm taking you to the beach
where you can drink,

because in Italy you can drink
anywhere you want. Except here.

Really?

If you come with me you'll find out.

- The pedestrian exit is this way!
- It's okay.

What are you...

- Can you give me my ID, please?
- No.

- He's Fraser, you need to search him.
- Go, man.

I need my ID back.

Run to the bus
that will take you to your dreams.

- I can't get on a bus.
- Who are you obsessing about?

I'm not obsessing about anyone,
I just want my ID.

Where have you been?

Hey, Craig! Who's that?

Who is that?

You're jealous?

- I'm not jealous, bro.
- You need to relax, man.

There's plenty of girls just like her.

Not with that mouth.

Yo, I'm not...
Bro, it's not even like that!

Yo, chill.

Dog, you know it's not like that.

It's like a spiritual group of Dark Souls,
but in Dark Souls they use shields.

I mean here you've got nothing
to shield yourself with,

no way of protecting yourself.
You can only attack.

- It's very philosophical.
- What kind of weapons?

Oh man, any kind.

But the double-edged weapons
are the best. The best, dude.

- Come on, this way.
- But it's full of mosquitoes.

- Come on, fuck the mosquitoes!
- Okay, okay...

So what do you do around here?

If you have friends, anything you want.

What if you don't?

Without friends you're nothing.

- Did you have a girlfriend in New York?
- Sure.

Right. What's her name?

Parysa.

Parysa?

You've never had a girlfriend,
have you?

What do you think about me?

Is that the sound of the sea?

- It's doing nose dive.
- No, recon.

Oh fuck!

Fuck, man.

You good, man?

Na dog, that shit's not cool, man.

He's got tinnitus.

Loud noises drill holes in his head.
The other guy's Craig.

Keeps the noise away from him.

Why is this fucking guy following us?

- Hey, wait for me!
- So, how did it go?

Fine.

Sam doesn't seem too happy.

What do you know about Sam?

Who the fuck is he?

Walk for me.

Walk for me!

What?

Just a couple of steps.
Do it for me. It's an experiment.

Check out how he holds his legs.

Yeah, so?

My theory: he's got a big one.

You're really sick, you know that?

You can sit now.

Oh my God.

He's got the hunter look.

Yeah, he's a tough guy.

You can tell by the way he walks.
It doesn't make any sense.

Unfortunately, I've seen you walk.

No, stop! Stop, stop, stop!

- Why are you such a bitch to Danny?
- Because he likes it.

What?

Hey, where are you going, T-shirt?

Put that shit on, man.

T-shirt!

Yo, T-shirt!

Where are you going, T-shirt?

You know Raf Simons?

You're a fucking genius!

Wine.

Mark!

Mark!

We don't need anything new,
we don't need anything...

We already have it here.

Mark, we're going to wear
our souls, Mark.

Mark, we are going to wear
our souls like a skin.

I guess that if no one gets it,
you know what it means?

That we're in the wrong collection.

Mark, I fucking miss you.

What the fuck.

What the fuck.

Oh fuck!

Mag...

Maggie!

Maggie!

Hey!

What happened to your face?

Guess what, they let us drink alcohol
at the harbor.

What?

They let us drink alcohol
at the harbob... harbor.

And how did you end up
down there?

These guys took me to the sea
and then I walked.

Thank you, Nursey.

I had to find someone
to cover for me at the clinic.

We need to go back fast.

No...

I didn't tell her.

I feel sick.

One step.

Another step. That's it.

How much did you drink?

You know why I called you and not her?
She doesn't get it.

She loves you more than she loves me.

Lay down.

Hey.

Lay down.

Look at me.

Don't move. I know it hurts.

Do you love her?

Sometimes when she's kissing me,

it feels like she doesn't know it's me.

She doesn't acknowledge me.

Feels like she's kissing a mirror.

Kissing a mirror.

That's the only thing
I've ever kissed in my life.

How are we going to get this stain out?

It's impossible.

I'll do it for you.

- Where are you going?
- To the match.

It's too late for Caitlin.

Americans can only
be happy in America.

At least don't go out
dressed like that.

This is America. Come on.

Your mother's at headquarters.

Take a shower and go to bed. Okay?

Maggie said
you met some kids today.

Was there a problem?

You know it'll take some time.
And compassion.

Can you slice it thin?

If you slice it too thin,
you don't get the taste of the roast.

- I like it thin.
- But then you don't get the flavor.

Thin slices!

Stupid.

Moron.

- Stop. Stop!
- Come on!

When you were a kid, you wouldn't let
anyone touch your hair except me.

Because I'm dead, mom. I'm dead.

Get a bottle.

- You had enough for one day.
- Get a bottle!

Come on, have something to eat now.

You don't love me, you never loved me.

Sweetheart, how could you say that?!

I had a perfect life in New York.

Oh yeah? You never acted
like your life was perfect.

I had...

What?

I hate you,
I hate everything about you.

I hate your uniform and I hate
when you sing and dance by yourself.

That's a lie.

Dance with me.
Come on, dance with me.

So you're going to be a General now?

What does that mean?
What's after that?

What's after General? What about me?

It's like every moment I'm in this
place, a little piece of me is dying.

- You made me leave him.
- What are you talking about?

Let go of me!

God!

Go away!

Come on, angel.

Invisible shield. Invisible shield.

Come out. Come on, we can talk.

Ladies and gentlemen, please rise
for the arrival of the official party

and remain standing
for the posting of the colors

and the singing of the national anthem.

Command!

Attention.

Present arms.

Present arms.

Order, arms.

Order, arms!

Forward, march.

Left, left, left...

Mark time, march.

Group, halt.

One of the oldest military traditions
is the passing of a unit flag,

symbolizing the passing of authority

from the outgoing commander
to the new commander,

which we will witness here today.

About-face.

About-face.

Forward, march.

Left, left, left, right-o left,

right-o left, right-o left.

Mark time. Mark.

Group, halt. One two.

General take your seat.

You know in the last year
we had twenty brawls,

three rapes, and two suicides?
Good luck with all that, sweetheart.

That was on your watch, colonel.

Congratulations
on your new command, Sarah.

Command.

Parade. Rest.

I thank Colonel McAunty for everything
he has done for this post.

Although I've never commanded
a garrison before,

I can assure you that I will serve
the same degree of loyalty

and commitment.

And that I'll stand by our nation's
greatest treasure:

freedom and the will to defend it.

- Was it good?
- It was great.

Was it that unbearable?

And how many Italians
work at the base?

About thirty.

We have Open Days during the holidays

but Colonel McAunty
reduced the entry to a minimum.

To the right we have the pool.

We just reconstructed the whole area,
the pool and the showers.

Is it heated?

No.

This way
to the headquarter's main entrance,

the officers' club.
In the back, the meeting hall.

Great idea to have the Open Days
during the holidays.

Gives us the possibility of participating
and understanding local customs.

- Closeness reduces aggression.
- Afternoon.

Airborne.

Wait for me here.

Let's go. We have to get them
loaded on the truck.

Make sure you hold them upright!

Thank you.

But what exactly is meant
by the phrase "unbalanced force"?

What is an unbalanced force?

Let me give you a practical example.

The Enterprise that's traveling
through interplanetary space,

has to keep at a certain distance
from planets and stars

otherwise it would crash into them.

If a meteor were to hit it
without destroying it,

it would create a shift in its course.

By doing so, it would modify
the velocity in terms of modulus,

course, and inclination.

The acceleration imprinted on
the Enterprise by the unexpected meteor

multiplied by the mass of the orbiter

is the vector force
acting on the Enterprise.

F=ma.

So your homework tonight
is chapter 5, sections 2 and 3.

Any questions?

Yeah. No worries.

I'll cover for you
and come in an hour early.

No, it's good.

It helps me get better acquainted
with the place.

Okay.

Bye Deb, talk later.

You prefer this bathroom?

Keep it in line with your cheek.

Otherwise you're going to cut yourself.

I'm not sure I want to.

First learn.

Then you decide. That's it.

Straight line,

don't put too much pressure.

Let me see.

That's it.

Yeah, I wanna keep it.

I love my scar.

Smoothie's ready!

Don't want it!

Cate! Caitlin, come back here!

Why are you wearing your father's shirt?

Don't you dare go out dressed like that!

- Go, go, go! Move!
- Watch out, Craig!

Get out! Move!

So what shall I call you?
