02x04 - The Lake House

[bunniefuu]

Come play with us,
Wayne.

Hey, Bats.

Hey, buddy,
what're you doing?

Hey.

Hello, young Wayne.

Wayne.

Wayne, wake up.

This is Christmasland,
a place of magic,

where unhappiness
is against the law.

Would you like
to come to here?
Wayne, come on, baby.

Come on.

Only the specialest children
are allowed.

I just need
one small favor.

Can you do me one small favor,
Wayne?

Wayne, come on, buddy.

Come on. Wayne!

Where am I?

You're at
Aunt Maggie's house.

You were just having
a bad dream,

but you're safe now,
okay?

Okay, let's get you
back to bed.

Alright.

Come on, Bats.

Hey, buddy, come on.Time to get up.

Stop looking at me weird.

Hey, buddy.

Your mom said, uh,
you were sleepwalking?

Is there anything
you wanna talk to us about?

When are we going home?

I'm not sure.

Uh, we decided
that it's best

we spend some timeat your grandpa's lake house.

I wanna go home
with Dad.

Well, Grandpa's houseis a safe place

where Charlie Manx
can't find us.

Kinda like the Batcave,
except not a cave.

And while we're there,we can't mention Manx

to Grandpa or to anyone we meet,alright?

If they ask, we just haveto say that Bing

Bing Partridge att*cked us.
I know.

Me and Dad had the same deal
when I talked to the police.

Well, hey,
the good news is,

we're hooking you up
Lucius Fox style.

Are you ready?

Yeah? Check this out.
Bam.

It has everyone's number on it,
including your mom's.

So, we have to go,
but Mom doesn't?

No. I'm coming.

I'm leading the caravan,mister, huh?

Alright.

Takeoff is in an hour,

so time to get your butt
into some clothes, alright?

Let's go. Chop, chop.

Hey.

He's never
sleepwalked before.

We're on the run froma supernatural kidnapper,

which we've asked our sonto lie about.

Lou, I...

Dude, let's just getto your dad's, alright?

Inside's the addressand info about the property.

Follow the family.Call when you arrive.

I'm going with Vic.

They need protection.

I mean, that's
that's what the agents are for.

They can't predictwhen the Wraith is coming.

But your Tiles can.

Once, a long time ago,

they warned me when Manxwas coming for Vic.

And they could do it again,

and if they do,
I have to be there.

Okay, y but you've
barely recovered

from your last seizure.

No. I'm fine.

But she needs me.

O-Okay, there's there's
a cost for everything...

including having Vic
back in our lives.

The Tiles are strictlyfor emergencies only.

For Vic.

This wasn't her idea.

It was mine.

Hey, please, please, please.

Trust me.

I'm not gonna do
anything stupid.

I wouldn't want
the FBI on my ass.

Hey.
Hey.

Thanks for doing this, Dad.I know it's quite a crew.

Hey, no problemo.

Dad, this is Maggie.

Chris.
Hey.

I'm an old friend of Vic's.

Yeah. I remember. This is Lou.

Hi.
Nice to finally meet you.

Sorry it's under
these circumstances.Yup.

And, uh, this guy
who's pretending to be shy

Wayne, this is your
Grandpa Chris.

Hey.

Hey.

Boy, I am glad
to finally meet you.

You look even more
like your mom in person.

But he's way
cooler and funnier.

Better at sports.
Right, Bats?

Is thatwhere we're staying?

It looks creepy.

Yeah, well,

she's a little rough
around the edges.

I'll give you that.

But if you look
over there, Wayne,

check it out

that's a pretty cool lake.

Now, your mom liked to fish
when she was your age.

What do you think?
You wanna give it a sh*t?

Sounds like a plan.

Hmm?
Alright.

I'll show
you guys around.

Come on, Bats!

How many access pointsare there?

Just the lake
and the driveway.

The woods, I guess,
if you're going by foot,

but, well, that's a trek
from the road.

What about g*ns?

I have a -millimeter
by the bed

and the r*fle.

I got some cans of gas
in case we got to run.

Yeah. I saw them in the truck.Thank you.

I'm so glad
to meet Wayne and Lou.

Got any ANFO lying around?

Why?

Keep any cars from gettingtoo close to the house.

Feds can't do that?

Alright, is there something
that you're not telling me?

Okay, I'm a drunk,
I'm a screw-up,

and I know I know I sound crazy,

but I am just trying to protectmy son the best I can.

So, please, Dad,do you have any freakin' ANFO?

Yeah, I, um...

I got a bit in the shed.

We'll bury it
along the driveway.

No one gets in
without our say.

Thank you.

But, Vic, we got to do itwithout the feds noticing, okay?

I cannot have them
asking questions.

And Wayne can't knowabout this, either.

We'll do it tonight
after his bedtime.

We're gonna be okay.

Alright.

They're a day old,
but still good.

Your favorite all chocolate glazed.

Thank you.
Yeah.

You get your dad
on board?

Mm-hmm.

I want to adopt Wayne.

Like, officially.

If something happens to you,

if you disappear again,
I could lose him.

And I can't lose my son.

Yeah. Of course.

He needs you.

He needs his mother, too.

He needs stability.

The past few days,

you set the freakin' house
on fire,

disappeared in the middle
of the night,

and went on a su1c1de mission
to try to take on Charlie Manx.

I know.
Yeah. Do you?

I get it.

A lot of bad sh*t
has happened.

You're not the only one
on team McCarmody

who's traumatized.

You are the only one
who uses it as an excuse

to not deal
with your problems...

and to also not be, like,
present.

Look,
I want this to work.

But if you don't figure
your stuff out...

I don't know.
I cross-checked the alias

Bing Partridge
gave to Lou Carmody

with businesses
that deal in Sevoflurane.

I found three places in Maine
with gas on site

who employ someone named
Ethan Andersen.

One of them could be Bing.

The attackhappened in Colorado.

What makes you think the suspectwould come back east?

The Maine ID.

Bing lived under the radar
for eight years.

Why not regroup
at a trusted hideout,

especially one that provides
access to gas?

If I can get one of
those businesses to ID him,

give me a home address,
we can sit on the place,

move on him
before he hurts anyone else.

Women like you and Iare few and far between

in this field office.

Daltry and his boys clubis always looking for reasons

to make that number
smaller.

Last time you walked in heretalking about Bing,

you broke protocol and shared

confidential informationwith your girlfriend

My head's on straight.

You're a bright star,Tabs.

I can't afford to lose you.

We can't afford
to lose Partridge.

I'll be smart.

I promise.

I don't wanna hurt him.

Here, we'll
we'll do it quick, you know?

You just

just hook him on,
and he won't feel a thing.

Here.
You want me to do it?

Yeah.Okay. Here. Pass it.

Uh...

Hoo. Okay.

Here we go.

Let's get it
right in there.

Ugh.

Bass like these better.

Alright.

Thanks.

Put it in like that.

Alright, lil man,
let's get you fishing.

You okay?

I don't know
how to do that.

Be normal.

Well, newsflash

none of those dudes
are normal.

Lou dresses like a storm trooperfor fun.

And Wayne he's cooler
than all of us combined.

And your dad's gone
all Bear Grylls

in a spooky horror cabin.

But they don't have
a Bridge.

Neither did you
for eight years.

That doesn't matter.

My head was always
someplace else.

For a long time,

the Tiles were the only
consistent thing in my life.

So wherever I went,
whoever I lost,

the Tiles were there.

And then I fell in love.

I always thought it was just
gonna be me and my Tiles.

But Tabitha's my home
'cause I chose her.

Did you, though?

You're here with your Tiles.

I caught a fish!

Alright. Alright.

Yeah, well,
nobody said it was easy.

A little bit of slack.A little bit of slack.

Well, Wayne had fun today.

Yeah. Me too.

Here.
Can I Yeah.

There?Yep. Right there.

Alright,
you hold it in.

Let's put it down.Okay.

Eight years.

The first thing we do together
is build a b*mb.

Well, there is nothingmore Haverhill

than blowing sh*t upin your yard.

Yeah. You're right.

Except these'll
jelly the insides

of anybody
within feet.

Good.

My hands shook
for like a week.

When did you stop
wanting a drink?

Whoa.

I-I I woke up.

Wayne wasn't there. I

I found him out here.

Wayne, baby.

Hey.

Sometimes
mom doesn't like us.

I'll, uh...

I'll do it.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're just gonnago back to bed.

Come on.

Come on, Vic
Don't.

Don't.

He goes by the name
Ethan Andersen.

Yeah.He's a janitor here.

A real oddball.Disappeared last week.

Do you guys have
a home address on file?

Uh...

P.O. box.

But the techs used to say

that he livedin an abandoned church.

There are a bunch
around here.

Where do you keep
your Sevoflurane?

We had a delivery
last night.

This is Agent Hutter.
Please leave me a message.

Hey.

Where my boo at?

Just kidding.

Seriously.
Can you call me?

Like, soon?

Everything okay?Yeah. It's great.

How'd you sleep?

Barely.

No hangover, though.

I finished wiring
all the bundles.

We can bury them tonight
after Wayne's bedtime.

I'm worried about him.

Ah.

He'll sleep better when
everything gets back to normal.

This kid can have fun
even in the midst of all this.

You know?

He's tough, Brat.

He's like Craig,
you know?

He'd be so happy
that his favorite girl

found a stand-up guy
like Lou...

to help raise his kid.

I think...

Lou's gonna leave me.

And if he does,

I bet Wayne'llwant to go with him.

Lou's here, Brat.

He has to be.

No, he doesn't.

I'm scared.

You know,
the biggest mistake

I made with you
and your mom

and, geez,
I made a lot

but, uh, the biggest
was never choosing

between staying and going,
you know?

It tore everyone apart.

Dad, it Just Just...

don't be me.

If you don't want Lou,
let him go.

Figure out a way
to be on your own,

but if you do want him, Brat,
you got to...

fight for him.

Okay, don't don't whatever that is.

Okay.

I'm I'm throwing it
in front of you.

What even is that?

Is that seaweed?No, it can't be seaweed.

It's in a lake.

No, I think
it's part of that stuff.

Watch out!

Whoo!
Oh, holy moly!

Yeah. So cold.

Watch out, mister.

No. No! No!

What is that?!

You can't use
that w*apon against me!

Hey. What's up?

Tomorrow I want to findsome kids to play with.

Uh...we can't, Bats.
We're hiding.

Uh, I need to talk
to your dad, okay?

Aunt Maggie'll get you
ready for bed, okay?

Hey, um...

I wanted to say thank you.

For what?

Do you remember the time

that I I broke my ankle
at the reservoir?

Yeah. Wayne was like
and he was into everything

and, um, the shop was busy.

I was laid up for weeks,

but you just

kept everything
under control.

And And you even dressed
you and Wayne up

like Madam Neutron
and the Eternal Assassin,

just to make me laugh.

Those werepretty dope costumes.

Yeah.

And no matter what a mess I am,
you just...

You're always so kind
and thoughtful,

and...you stay when there's
every reason to run.

Vic

And I just don't
wanna lose you.

If we had met randomly,

like, you weren't
in mortal danger...

would would you havepicked me?

I don't know.

But I'm really glad
I did.

And I'd pick you again.

Would you pick me?

I wanna quit drinking.

Work on my sh*t.

Be the person
you and Wayne deserve.

I do.

Okay, Vic.

Alright, but this time

you really, really
have to show me.

Coast is clear.
It's now or never.

Feds heading this way.

Alright.
I'll finish this up.

You guys get all this stuff
to the shed.

Wait. Here.

Thanks. Thanks.

Okay?
Yeah.

This is the detonator?

Mm-hmm.

Looks way less"Mission: Impossible"

than I expected.

It looks like an old flashlightfrom a drama club.

Bats!

Bats! Hey!

Wayne!

Does it feel as good
as scoring a -pointer?
Much, much better.

Christmasis the best feeling.

I'm tired of hiding.

I'm tired of my parents
being messed up

and weird and sad.

Come on, Bats.

I wanna go home.

But Christmasland
could be your home.

The childrencould be your family.

They'll welcome you
with open arms.

You'll always be happy.

You'll always feel loved.

Is that what you haveback in Colorado, Wayne?

So just tell me
where you are,

and I will come pick you upstraightaway.

I'm at Grandpa's house.

Yes,
you're at Grandpa's house.

Lake Passama

Lake Passamaquoddy.

Yeah,
that's right, Bats.

Hey.
Mr. Manx.

You're awake.

Get the gas, Bing.

It's time to load upthe Wraith.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, scoot over.
I wanna talk.

Who Who gave this to you?

Look, I know...

what happened
was really scary.

I know because I've

I've been scared
by Charlie Manx,

and when I was younger,I was so scared of him that...

I had bad dreams.

If you're having dreamsabout him, Bats, just tell me.

Did Charlie Manx
give you this?

You won't getin trouble if he did.

You must nevertake anything from him.

Do you understand me?

You said
you wouldn't get mad.

He's a bad, scary man,Wayne.
No, he's not.

You are.

You lie and you disappear
and you make Dad sad.

You suck.

I just want a regular mom
with a regular home.

I'm sorry
for scaring you.

Whatever.

No.

No, not whatever.

Hey, look at me.
Come here.

You are the best kid.

Yeah. And you deservethe best mom.

And I've beena really crappy mom,

and...I

I'm gonna try my hardestto change

and to give you
a regular home.

It's just

It's gonna takea little time, okay?

You can tell me anything.

I won't get mad.

Pinkie swear.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Agent Hutter, Boston FBI.

Suspect is alone

and appears to be preparing
to leave the premises.

Requesting local back-up ASAP.
Copy that, Agent Hutter.

Hey, it's me.

Again.

Uh...

I'm starting to get
really freaked out, so...

so that I know
you're alive?

I love you.

Maggie, what's going on?

I haven't heard
from Tabitha.

We both knowwhat happens to cops

that cross
with Charlie Manx.

I'm not gonna let
Tabitha die.

Is Tabitha okay?

That's freakin' wild, dude.

What does it mean?

Bing.

Whoa. Whoa. Okay.

Hey. You're okay.

You're okay.
You're okay.

Tabitha and I looked forthe House of Sleep for years.

We couldn't find it.

I can.

Don't be stupid. Go.

I'll take care of Wayne,

I'm going, too.

I have to.

In case you see
the Wraith.

We'll be back
as soon as we can.

Thank you.

May the Force
be with you.

Ohh! Ohh!
Lady policemen
who sneak around

six feet underground.

Aah!

Hands up, or I'll sh**t!

Don't.

Don't sh**t.

Don't sh**t. Please.

Don't sh**t.

Trespassing is
a punishable offense.

Ahh!

It's so unfortunate
I have to k*ll you here,

as my children do enjoy
eating pig for dinner.

M-Mr. Manx.

Aah.

Mr. Mr. Manx?

Ho! Ho! Ho!
You can't come in here.

Let me through.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Well, I love you.

Dad?

Where's Mom?

She went to go help your
Aunt Maggie with something.

She'll be right back.
Why?

I think I did
a bad thing.

Hey.

You her ride?

I'm glad you're okay.

I had them.
I had both of them.

They got away.I'm s I'm sorry, Vic.

Hey, Carmody.

We found her alive
and in one piece.

Wayne's been
talking to Manx.

What?

I don't know
how the bastard did it,

but he's been visiting Wayne
in his dreams,

talking to him,
like, for real.

The candy cane.

He knows
where we are, Vic.

Wayne told him.

I'm coming.
