Yellowjackets (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Blood Hive - full transcript

Previously, on
"Yellowjackets"...

We're out of food.

If we want to eat,
one of you

is gonna have to
learn how to use this thing.

So the rest of us

are relying on you two,
which means

you need to rely
on each other.

Just breathe.

The coroner ruled it a suicide.

Travis didn't
fucking kill himself,

and I'm gonna find out who did.



I know a guy
who can probably get us

into Travis' email.

I don't need you.

Yeah, but, Nat...

- Go the fuck home.
- I'm his wife.

He just hasn't texted me
the room number yet.

Why are you here, Adam?

I was just getting a drink,

but, actually,
I'm starting to think maybe

something out there has
other ideas.

- It's Misty.
- I told you to never call me.

Travis is dead.

If Rafelson takes
a shine to me tonight,

her money, her influence,



she could turn
everything around.

Tell me, what really happened
out there?

Go fuck yourself.

I think bad things
happened here.

Come here! Look!

I just have a bad feeling
about this place.

A bad feeling?

I don't believe in that shit.

"No Return" by Craig Wedren
and Anna Waronker

It was cool, nothing fire

Nothing broke

Keep simple

Nothing tired, nothing old

Same as you

Same as you

Oh, so cute, so revival

So alone

Birthday suit, just a smile

No one home

Same as you

Same as you

No return, no return

No reason

No return, no return

No reason

No return, no return

No reason

No return, no return

No reason

This is how we do it

One, two,
one, two, three, four!

This is how we do it

- Running man, running man.
- This is how we do it...

Bart Simpson, Bart Simpson.

And I feel all right...

And Javi.

So I reach for my 40,
and I turn it up

Designated driver
take the keys to my truck

Hit the shore
'cause I'm faded

Honeys in the street say,
"Monty, yo, we made it"

It feels so good
in my hood tonight

The summertime skirts
and the guys in Kani

All the gang bangers
forgot about the drive-by

Goddamn it.

- What happened?
- I don't know.

Has hitting something
ever fixed it?

M-Maybe try blowing on it?

Uh, the fuck was that?

- Hey, you heard it, too?
- It was probably just a branch.

Inside, on the floor?

What if it's... him?

What, the dead guy?

Um, yeah.

You know what it probably was?

The dead guy's missing fingers

trying to find their way home.

Nat.

You really have to
encourage them?

You got to admit, it didn't
sound like it was on the roof.

Fine, then it was a rat,

or a raccoon, or something.
I don't know, it...

Shh!

Oh, my God.

Listen.

- Well, I don't hear it now.
- See?

All right, all right.

You know what I think it was?

I think the ghost decided
it was time to get some sleep.

And we should probably do
the same, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't know.

suspenseful music

gentle music

What the fuck are you doing?

I was just, um, I-I...

I just, I just wanted to move
the blankets so that...

Do not fucking touch me, Misty.

Do you understand?

Dramatic music

Jackie.

Jackie.

Up and at 'em, or something.

I'm so cold.

I have cramps.

No shit. We literally
all have cramps.

Our periods have synced up.

Come on.

Hey.

Bloody soldiers on the left
and breakfast on the right.

Okay?

Don't mess them up
like Travis did.

Okay, you guys are disgusting.

- I'm...
- Shut up.

How about getting
some more water?

Breakfast isn't going anywhere.

Eerie music

Lottie?

Aren't you cold?

Yeah...

...actually.

I thought it'd be warmer.

Right.

women vocalizing hauntingly

Fuck.

Hey, need a hand?

No, it's okay.

I got it.

Why are you so chipper?

Don't you have a blood sacrifice
between your legs

like the rest of us?

Um, I'm late this month.

Uh, we were in a plane crash.
It's probably just stress.

Well, lucky you're a virgin
or we'd really have to worry.

Anyway, enjoy it
while it lasts, I guess.

This rag situation is
a fucking horror show.

Suspenseful music

No worries.

I'm trying to cut back
on carbs anyway.

Oh, shit.

Hey, if you see an Uber pre-auth
on your account tonight,

don't cancel it.

I'm going into the city
with Cleo and Linh.

I'm sorry, did you mean
to phrase that as a question?

Uh... no.

You're not going into the city
for Halloween.

I know.

It's heartless how I take
an interest in your safety.

My safety? I'm sorry my idea of
a good time doesn't involve

sitting on the porch
in some '90s character costume

that nobody even recognizes.

The people who matter
recognize Daria, okay?

And besides, I'm not gonna be
the one handing out the candy,

you are.

My, uh, book club is meeting
tonight.

Wow. Halloween for the ages.

But, hey, it's
a good thing you're doing

all that lame stuff now,
it'll free up so much time

during your retirement. Bye.

You shouldn't be so hard on her.

I'm sorry,
I shouldn't be so hard on her?

Our daughter is an asshole.

You let her get under your skin.

Why do you do that?

Well, you let her do
whatever she wants.

I don't understand why
I'm the only one in this family

who thinks that actions
should have consequences.

Okay.

Do you really need to do
this book club thing tonight?

Yeah, Jeff.
I-I do have to go.

Hey, why don't we go together?

Make it like a date.

To book club?

Yeah.

You haven't done the reading.

What's it about?
Lay it on me.

We're reading The Girl
in the... Train Window.

And...
...you know, really,

I'm just going to avoid the
side-eye from the other moms.

It's-it's basically the opposite
of-of a... sausage fest, so...

Hmm.

- A clambake...
- Don't.

- You don't need to. Mm.
- All right. All right.

I guess I can, uh, appease

the local goblin community
alone this year.

Okay.

Bye.

Washington State is

the hottest UFO hotspot
in the nation.

The number of UFO sightings
here has increased dramatically.

Mm. Hey.

Hey. I'm glad I caught you.

I, uh, I got the file on Travis.

- You did?
- Yeah.

And the toxicology report,
it's... it's clean.

He wasn't on anything, Nat.

I know that doesn't make it

any less of a...
of a tragedy,

but, uh, I hope
it'll help you rest easier.

Yeah, it will.

Thanks. I owe you one.

Well, in that case, um...

Look, uh...
...if my timing's off,

don't even worry about it,

but, um...

if you ever want to hang out
again or...

Hey, Kev,
I'm getting another call,

so, uh, I'll talk to you later,
okay? Bye.

Hello?

Didn't you say you knew a guy

who could break into
people's email?

Who is this, please?

What is your problem?

It's a simple question.

I haven't heard an apology yet.

But in light of everything
you've been through,

I will forgive you.

In terms of my contact,
I'll reach out to them.

Who're we hacking?

Kevyn.

He got the whole file
on Travis's death,

but as far as he knows
it's suicide,

so I can't exactly ask him
for it.

Consider it done.

Come on.

It smells bad in there.

That's just antiseptic.
Come on in.

This place is really boring.

But was there something
you wanted to ask Mrs. Petersen?

- Trick or treat.
- Trick or treat.

Here you go.

Code Blue, Code Blue!
Doctor, Doctor!

Come and help us!

Trick it is.

tense music

- Sorry, I was just...
- Oh, no. It's fine.

Yeah.

I'll talk to you later.

Yeah. Thanks.

That bad?

I'm trailing by 20 points
in the suburbs.

Even here,
I'm nowhere near Bathurst.

Fuck.

Why couldn't I just smile
and kiss Diane Rafelson's

rich, old liberal ass?

Well, you've never been good

at being anything
other than yourself.

Honestly,
it's your superpower.

Are you trying to get
in my pants?

- Always.
- Mm.

Baby, what's wrong?

Do you hear that?

What?

Baby, what are you do...
Did you see someone outside?

Keep the dog inside.

Women vocalizing hauntingly

Women vocalizing hauntingly

suspenseful music

Thanks for jinxing me.

Welcome to Club Flo.

Call me when you're ready
to shake Misty down for Motrin.

Ugh! These batteries.

Fucking cocksucker.

- Come on.
- What the hell?

You're coming with me.

Let's go. Come on.

Ow.

You have to push it harder.

- I am pushing.
- No, you're not.

You have to push till it pops.

Like this.

Oh, gross. Ew.

It's not that hard.
It's like shucking an oyster.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Well, then I don't know
how to help you,

but you can't keep
not pitching in.

People are noticing, Jackie.

Why am I the only one
not getting off

on this boring
back-to-the-land bullshit?

I suck at this stuff,
and I know that.

And I don't belong here,

and I don't know how much longer
I can keep doing this.

Remember when
Kiffy Schumacher broke her arm

right before we were supposed
to go to WhipSplash River?

And you told her that
if she shared her Percocet,

we'd all crash bingo
at the Elks Lodge instead?

Yeah.

Wait, is this a pep talk?

Oh, wowza, Shipman.

Wow, that is so not your style.

- Tell me about it.
- Mm.

Cheering people up is
your thing.

I'm better at...

Making people feel judged?

Ooh, cutting up dead things?

Wow. Thanks.

I'm kidding.

Besides, you're kind of turning
into a badass out here.

You taught me
how to be like this, you know.

I mean, you make people feel
like things are gonna be okay

just by showing up and...

being your dumb, hot,
awesome self.

At least you always did that
for me.

Thanks.

I'm still not putting a knife
through a fucking deer knee.

Fine.

But still, we...
we need you, Jackie.

Here.

I mean, you're basically
the best.

Remember?

Yeah.

Ooh.

Whoa, Samwich, what'd we say?

Five pieces.
Can I have six?

Including this one
that you had in your hand?

I don't know
how that got there.

Uh-huh. Hey.

Remember,
no candy for the dog.

Speaking of truth...

Maybe it's about time
you "spill"

on your opponent's
junkie daughter.

Whatever happened
to not going low?

Yeah, well, when these nutjobs
come to my house,

- I'm less magnanimous.
- No, the c...

The contractor is
sending someone

to paint over it tomorrow.

dramatic music

- Mm-hmm.
- Arms up.

intense music

If you'd warned me we were gonna
be coming to a place this cool,

I would've just, like,
worn a sheet over my head.

Well, you could have,
but wearing a mask is

more conducive
to not bumping into walls.

They're all just so young,
and-and so, um...

- naked.
- Oh, stop.

Hey, you're
the most beautiful person here.

Anyway, this was, like,
every other weekend at Pratt.

Art students will use any excuse
to take their clothes off.

Mm.

That must have been
very educational for you.

No comment.

Shall we?

I feel like I just
look like I fell off

a Fifty Shades of Grey bus tour.

You don't have to
if you don't want to.

Okay. I don't think I want to.

Okay.

- Hey, thanks.
- Thank you.

Nothing.

Ah, giving up makes sense.

You're too far behind
to ever catch up.

It's not my fault
your lady blood

is scaring all the prey away.

Wow.

- Oh, you went there.
- Went there?

I am surrounded on all sides.

That cabin is, like,
the blood hive.

What's the matter, Travis?

Are you scared of our menses?

I never said that.

Anyway, shouldn't the smell
of blood attract animals?

Uh, predators, maybe.

But didn't hunter-gatherer
tribes used to make their women,

like, hide in huts or whatever
when they were on their periods?

I'm confused now.

Are you a zoologist
or an anthropologist?

I'm pretty sure it was
so they wouldn't ruin the hunt.

More like 'cause men
needed something

to blame their failures on.

Ouch.

I guess that hasn't changed.

What was that about

me not catching up to you?

soft, tranquil music

I told you
we didn't need a code.

I've got good news and bad news.

Which one is this?

No, open it.

It's an aroma diffuser.

Ylang-ylang,
with a hint of gardenia.

Subtropical florals
are very, very uplifting.

Good to know.
What's the bad news?

Well, uh, my contact
can access the files,

but he's being a bit of a D-bag.

Who is this person, exactly?

We only know each other by our
Citizen Detective chat handles.

He's mad at me
because I didn't tell him

that he was stealing
a police file,

so now he wants
to meet in public

to "discuss" the terms
of the exchange.

Oh, we'll meet all right.

dark, suspenseful music

What's that?

Maybe you should tell us.
We found it in your room.

What do you mean, "no"?

Sammy, you painted a word
on our front door.

You want to tell us why?

Sweetheart, we promise

we won't get angry with you.

You just need to tell us
the truth, okay?

I didn't paint the word.

Sammy, please.

The bad one did it.
The lady in the tree.

And did the lady in the tree
also put the paint

under your bed?

Sammy, you know
there isn't any lady.

Please stop lying to us.

I'm not lying.

Baby, wait up.

Is this gonna work?

I mean, most restaurants

won't let you bring in drinks
or food or anything.

I don't know, Misty.
You tell me.

I've still got that rifle
in the trunk.

Well, I don't know how we'd get
that into the restaurant.

Stallion99?

African Grey?

Yeah, no.

I'm African Grey.

I...

I didn't authorize anyone else

to come to this meet.

Well, cool out.
I can vouch for her.

Oh, my God.
Just tell us what you want.

- I want in.
- On what?

Your operation.

The stiff in this file,

I looked him up,
he doesn't exist.

No shit, 'cause he's dead.

And he's none of your
goddamn business.

So you should give us the file.

What's it worth to you?

What the hell?

If the question is, "Is me
lighting your dick on fire

and going to jail worth me
getting my hands on that file?"

Fucking try me.

You guys are fucking crazy.
Here.

You should ask that guy out.

You two have so much in common.

God. Finally.

Jesus Christ.

What now?

Get it off, get it off,
get it off, get it off!

Hang on. Hey, hang on. Hey.

- Get it off me.
- What... Get what off?

I don't know.

I-I was standing
under the trapdoor.

I don't see anything.

But something
crawled down my shirt.

It's fine.
There's nothing there. Mari.

- There's nothing there.
- I don't see anything.

It's fine.

Must have been the ghost.

Don't say that.

Wh... You guys.

Okay, you guys,
I just had a brainstorm.

We should have a seance.

That's a terrible idea.

Also, we're not
in middle school.

But remember how fun
this shit used to be?

Besides, maybe if we can laugh
about this, then it would help.

The occult
is no laughing matter.

It's not the occult,
Laura Lee. It's a game.

Come on, Shauna, tell them.
It'll be fun.

Um...

well, I mean, it's not like
we have anything better to do.

And maybe this dead guy
can give us some life advice.

Okay.

So, it's settled.

Tonight, the attic.

We make contact.

"Freakout" by Nightlapse
featuring Liska

But I freak out

I get in my way

Let it creep out

Let it escape

And it seeps out

It can't be caged

And it ain't me

But it's wearing my skin

And it hates me,
shallow and thin

Will the sane me

Ever win?

Somebody call
my psychotherapist...

Hey. Hey, Shauna.

Hey.

I can't handle this...

Wait.

Call my psychotherapist

Jackie?

Mom?

What are you doing here?

Where'd you get that uniform?

In your closet.

I don't fucking believe you,
Callie.

I specifically told you...

- Hey, Shauna.
- ...to never...

Is everything okay here?

Uh, can you just...

Whoa.

What are you on?

Just molly.

- What the fuck is...
- Ecstasy, Mom.

Great. Wonderful. Come on.

Well, no, what about my friends?

- Where are we going?
- Where do you think we're going,

the after-party?
I'm taking you home.

Or, I don't know,
someplace you can sober up.

Hey, do you guys need a ride?

No. Thank you. No.

Silence, I can't handle it

He's asleep.

Finally.

I'm worried about him.

Well, I'm glad
you're catching up.

I know I've been distracted.

No. You've been worse
than distracted.

You're losing weight,
you're exhausted.

Do you want to know
what's wrong with Sammy?

I think a big part of it
is that he's missing the mom

he used to know.

You know, you never
get the time back.

None of us will.

Doesn't seem worth it, does it?

All this, just to lose a bid
for state senate.

You think I should drop out?

I would never ask you
to do that.

I just...

I just don't want you
to have any regrets.

Hey.

I'll make an announcement.

Tea, to help with the swelling.

In-in your leg.

No, no, no. Not like that.

Put them along the marks
that are already here.

This symbol thing
is totally seance-y.

Isn't this kind of, like,
a waste of candles?

Not if we're
getting rid of a ghost.

You cheater!

Oh, my God, are you seriously
doing magic right now?

You do know that girls
are not into that, right?

Wait, so are you saying
that when I wasn't doing magic,

you were into it?

Give me that.

Hey!

soft, intriguing music

soft, somber music

Nat.

What is that?

See, here it is again.

What, that smudge?

And here.

Does that look like wax?

Dark, pulsing music

This is bad.

This is so wrong.

Travis didn't believe
in any of this shit.

Then why is it in the place
where he died?

I don't know, but I promise you,

he did not put it there.

So...

...was that your lover?

- Um, okay. I-I...
- He was pretty hot.

Though you-you do have

that whole Yellowjackets thing
going for you.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz," right?

As a matter of fact, Callie,

he doesn't know anything
about that.

- That's funny?
- Mom.

Come on. Does he know your name?

Does he have the Internet?

When did you fall
out of love with Dad?

It's not that...
It's so complicated.

With your dad and me,
there's a lot of baggage.

Baggage. You mean Jackie?

You guys never talk about her.

You know, that was her uniform,
not mine.

Oh, shit. I didn't know.

Her parents gave it to me
for her 40th birthday, um,

so I could remember her.

As if I hadn't spent

the better part of my life
thinking about her

every single day.

Are you okay?

God. I'm so sorry, Mom.

It's just, it's just so awful

that you had to go through
all that.

Bad things happen in life.

- And I'm fine.
- No. But, Mom, but you're not.

You're so not fine.

Do you think I can't see that?

Soft, solemn music

O keeper of this wild
and hidden place...

...we anoint ourselves

with blood and earth.

Here.

It's just dirt and deer blood.

Classic witch recipe. Relax.

O spirit, we offer
our sister as your instrument.

Come to us and speak your peace.

It is I, Jacques.

Jacques.

Ask your questions.

The pendulum will answer them.

Okay.

Dear dead hunter guy...

...did O.J. do it?

Come on, guys. Real questions.

The veil is thin
between our two planes.

Ask what is in your heart.

I'll go.

Is Principal Berzonsky
screwing Ms. DeWine?

Oh.

It is certain.

Hunter guy,
if we hadn't crashed,

would we have won Nationals?

Dude.

If you're thinking
about flying that thing,

you're even crazier
than those idiots upstairs.

My grandpa used to fly a Cessna,

and he could
barely write his name.

It can't be that hard.

Okay, fine.

It's probably hard.

But there's no harm
in reading about it.

Coach, are you
listening to this?

No.

I'm gonna go see
what's so funny.

They're obviously fake.

You really need a ghost
to tell you that?

You think?

But who would've paid for them?
Her parents?

I thought I told you
to stay downstairs.

Whatever. It's boring.

I think they got divorced
recently.

It could've been guilt money.

- Well, that's just creepy.
- "Well, honey,

your mom and I are splitting up,
but don't worry,

'cause your tits
are gonna look amazing."

Okay. Guys, guys, focus.

Next question.

Misty?

Um...

Dear spirit,

I need to know the truth.

Does the person I like
like me back?

Aww.

Oh. Okay.

Yes, Misty.

Okay. Next question?

Mm-hmm?

Are we all gonna die out here?

Atmospheric, haunting music

Okay, an eight?
What's that supposed to mean?

It's not an eight.
It's an infinity.

Yeah, okay, Aristotle.

Who has the matches?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Guys, something's
really wrong with her.

I-I don't, think she...

It wants... It wants...

Misty, what do we do?

- It wants!
- Lottie, I swear to God,

if you're fucking with us...

I think
she's, like, possessed.

Listen, Lottie. Lottie, sweetie.

What's going on? What is "it"?

More like what does "it" want?

Hungry.

Hungry.

It's in you already.

Lottie, knock it off.
This isn't a game.

Is that French?

Since when does Lottie
speak French?

Jackie, w-wasn't she
in your class?

Yeah, but she sucks at French.

- Well, what's she saying?
- I don't know,

I suck at French, too!

Well, damn it, Jackie,
try not to!

Uh, "he-he,"

uh... "it, it."

No, it wants... something...

Uh, "blood"?

I-I think she's saying "blood."

Not the word I want
to be hearing right now.

Shit. More blood stuff?
I don't know.

Here? Here. She's saying "here."

There's blood where, Lottie?

You really have to be
encouraging her, Van?

Blood here, or out there?

Coach, do something.
Make them stop.

Lottie, what?

Coach?

You must spill blood.

Or else...

Or else what, Lottie?

Lottie, what are you...

Coach?

What is happening?

Lottie!

The power of Christ compels you!

Begone, Satan!
The power of Christ compels you!

Lottie!

Lottie, stop!

Ow. What the hell, Laura Lee?

Seriously?

What the motherfuck
just happened?

Thank you, everyone,
for coming on such short notice.

I, um...

Wow, this is hard.
