01x07 - Their Evil Was Our Evil

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Day of the Dead.

This was supposed to be
the happiest day of my life!

- [SCREAMS]
- Dad!

Dad, are you okay?

- [GROANS]
- You want me to find pain meds?

Or do you want to trick Jai into
writing a prescription again?

They can be saved.

- [GROWLING AND SNARLING]
- Get it off me!

Trey was... the love of my life.

He was...

He, um... he was... he was...

Trey Bowman gave his life
to save the rest of us.

He was a husband and a father,

but to us he's a hero.

And his suffering is over.

He's in a better place now.

[SIGHS]

You know what?

Actually, I don't know where he is.

I mean, I used to think that
when you die, that's it.

But after today I don't
know what to think.

A lot of people who were
supposedly in a better place

are walking around trying to k*ll us.

And Trey d*ed trying
to stop one of them.

We owe it to him to survive this.

We owe it to everyone that we've lost.

That's how we honor them.

By staying alive.

What're you doing?

We have to, Luke.

We can't take any chances.

What're you talking about?

He hasn't come back. He's dead.

Everyone who's come back has been dead.

It sucks, but do you think
he would want to come back

as one of those things?

We don't even know how this works yet.

We have no idea what's going on.

You can't just torch my dad!

- It's them or us, son.
- I'm not your son.

I'm his son.

Mom.

- Luke.
- Don't talk to me.

Hey.

I'm not sure what your

I think they're good.

And that is why you don't
knock the cargo shorts.

[SMALL CHUCKLE]

Remember that time your dad
took us to Hershey Park?

We made him ride the Sidewinder
with us like six times?

Couldn't stop puking.

I remember we'd be in line
and he'd just be like...

[PUKING SOUNDS]

[LAUGHS]

Last time I saw him,
I told him he was pathetic.

So what? We're teenagers.

People expect us to say
dumb sh*t we don't mean.

Yeah, I meant it.

When my mom got sick,

I spent months telling her
about how much I loved her,

how great I thought she was, all that.

And when she d*ed,
all I could think about

was all the horrible sh*t I had
said to her before she got sick.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

Man, why do you always
do sh*t like that?

- What?
- Somehow, once again,

my life is about making you feel better.

Look, I was just trying to say,
whatever you said to your dad,

he knew you loved him.

How?

You had months to say
goodbye to your mom.

I didn't get a chance.

Yeah, well, at least I'm here!

- Where were you when my mom d*ed?
- [BOTTLE SHATTERS]

- Paula, there you are.
- Nope.

You were right, I see that now.

Paula, you don't understand.

I should have listened to
you from the beginning.

Then maybe Trey wouldn't have d*ed...

Hey! Shut up!

You hear me?

Okay, I'm sorry.

I just wanted you to
know I'm on your side.

You've got nothing to worry
about from me, I swear.

I will never tell anyone about Luke.

Go to the front.

See if they need help

No.

Somebody needs to stitch that up,

and it sure as hell isn't you.

Not Jai.

I don't want him to see
me like this. [WINCES]

You're one stubborn son
of a bitch, you know that?

Give it to me.

[WINCES]

Here.

[CHUCKLES]

I didn't take it.

I mean, I took it, but I didn't take it.

Why are you such an assh*le?

Why do you blame everybody
for all your problems?

I needed help.

And you sent me to jail.

Because of me you got clean.

You got a job.

What would have happened
if you went to rehab?

Hmm?

You'd have been out after days

and you'd be back tricking
some other pathetic doctor

into filling your script.

Whoa, easy. That stuff hits hard.

Yeah.

Whew.

You wanted help.

I give it to you.

[PANICKED BREATHING]

[SCISSORS CLATTER]

What the hell is happening?

- What are you doing here?
- We need to talk.

I have actual patients to treat.

No, you don't.

Everyone's stable. I already checked.

You can't keep avoiding me.

I'm afraid of what I wanna say.

Just say it.

Maybe we're not supposed to get married.

Maybe today was, I don't know,
some... some sort of sign.

[EXHALES]

Come on.

Things have been weird
between us for weeks now.

You noticed it.

And this morning I tried to talk to you

about delaying the wedding
for my parents

and you shut me down.

My mom and my dad weren't
going to be at my own wedding.

I... I just... I panicked, okay?

I just... I feel like you've
been pulling away from me,

and if we could just get married

and get the wedding behind us,
everything would be okay.

I just...

Maybe I was.

But Christ, Amy, ever
since we started dating,

your dad's taken every
opportunity to remind me

that I'm not the guy he
would have chosen for you.

- That's not true.
- Yeah, it is.

He wanted you to be with Shawn.

He said it at our wedding.

I just wanted...

I just wanted you just
one time to be on my side.

Even now you can't do it.

You're right. I just... just tell
me what to do and I'll do it.

No, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not your dad.

You have to figure out what you want.

If I wanted to marry Shawn,
I would have married Shawn.

I want you. I want to marry you.

Are you sure?

Because I spend too much
time with each patient,

and I don't... I don't care
about the bottom line.

There's a pretty good chance
that some other drug addict

might trick me into writing them
a prescription for opioids...

When we get through this,

the first thing we're doing
is getting married.

Holy f*ck!

assh*le! You weren't
supposed to let me do that.

What the hell are you doing?

Were you just yelling at your hand?

What? No.

I was drinking that,
but it's cool, I guess.

[EXHALES]

[SIGHS]

What's going on?

I don't know.

I'm just testing something, I guess.

Okay.

Well, if you're going crazy,

I want to let you know you can tell me.

Depression is a mental illness
just like anything else.

If you're having thoughts of self-harm,
I want you to let me know

- before anything happens.
- Okay, cool it on the PSA, alright?

I'm good.

But thanks.

That was really nice, what
you said at Trey's, um...

whatever that was.

Yeah, I didn't think
my first solo funeral

would be at a dumpster.

How's Luke holding up?

[SIGHS] I don't know. Not good.

Can I ask you something?

Do I make other people's sh*t about me?

Oh, yeah. It's super annoying.

I'm joking.

What's going on?

All I want is for Luke to know
that I'm there for him.

That he can be real with me.

But every time I try to talk to him,

I just end up pissing him off.

Hey, you don't have to prove

that you understand how he's feeling.

Just listen.

Sometimes being there for someone

means just being there.

Like I am for you.

There's, uh, soda

I know. You're welcome.

[SOBS]

You're lucky to be alive. You know that?

What was that thing? What did we find?

Something you should have left buried.

Grandnana, whatever you
know, I need you to tell me.

I was just a kid, maybe six or seven,

when my great-grandmother
told me a story

that her great-grandmother had told her.

An old story from when the
whites first came to our land.

They built their little settlement
not far from here

and for a short time our people
traded with their people.

You know, all that happy bullshit

they teach you in their schools.

Then the Europeans started
dying, one after another.

Ripped apart as if devoured
by an animal.

But it wasn't an animal.

It was this thing.

The white folks, the
ones that were left,

told of a man, one of their own,

who had d*ed shortly after
arriving in this new world.

He was given a Christian burial.

All the good that did.

The settlers, they begged
help from our people.

The Lenape knew

that once the monsters had
feasted upon the Europeans,

they would come for us.

Their evil was our evil.

We helped them?

We had no choice.

Together, the settlers and the
Lenape were able to destroy

all of the living dead,
but it wasn't easy.

You cut them in two,
both halves kept coming.

They had to be destroyed.

[SCREECHING]

They stopped them all, except one.

The first one.

Cooper, they called him.

They didn't know what to do with him.

He was the source, you see.

He started it all.

He wasn't like the others.

Whatever was in him could be passed on.

The whites claimed he was chosen.

Marked. Cursed.

They were a pretty uptight bunch,

you know, Jesus and Satan and all that.

They were afraid to destroy him.

They thought it would
only spread the curse.

So our ancestors decided to help.

They placed this over
his face as a warning

and sealed him in a
cave north of the river.

And that's where he's been ever since.

Why didn't you ever tell me about this?

[SIGHS]

I didn't believe all that crap.

I thought it was just a story
told to us native kids

to let us know that white
people were stupid

and it was our job to keep
them from k*lling us all.

Obviously, it wasn't.

You said they couldn't
destroy the first one?

Wouldn't.

But McDermott did.

He lit it up like a bonfire.

He d*ed doing it.

Maybe it's done.

It's over.

Maybe.
