02x05 - Self-Preservation

[bunniefuu]

BARRETT: Previously on Freakish...

k*ll me.

Save them.

Save Zoe.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

On your knees.

All I know, I saw somethin', I
just don't know what it was.

Dude, I had my hands up.

I was practically begging
the guy not to k*ll me.

Violet didn't seem too happy to see you.

Yeah, well that's 'cause
she's a crazy bitch.

- You cheated on her.
- She put a homemade expl*sive

in my truck and blew it up.

I don't do well when people lie to me.

- We have a helicopter.
- [OLLIE] We just have to press a button

- and it will come for us.
- If you let us out of here,

we can save you all.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[SLOW MUSIC]

It appears to be some
sort of homing device.

Yeah, and?

Might actually be able
to call a helicopter.

Okay, so, when the green light turns on,

that means that it's
successfully made contact.

Yeah, so don't press it
until we're all ready to go.

Oh.

- You're not going.
- Excuse me?

You can't go without us, it's our

beacon calling our helicopter.

Yeah, they're not gonna let
you guys on without us.

He means it's not calling anything.

[BARRETT] Our experience with Keller

Chemical has been anything but positive.

So you're not gonna let
anyone get rescued?

This is crazy.

Nope, we've had people
from Keller come twice.

And you know what happened each time?

They tried to k*ll us.

- They did k*ll some of us.
- They k*lled some of you.

My brother and I don't have
anything to do with that.

They're not cold blooded K*llers.

Likely not.

But the people coming to retrieve

- them probably are.
- Oh please.

Do you guys really not see what

a cynical little prick this guy is?

Oh we do.

Because the cynical
little prick is usually

right about this kind of stuff.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

So we have two people
locked in our basement

and we don't have a plan
of what to do with them.

[BARRETT] I think we
should force them out.

Out where?

Outside.

- We should make them leave.
- Do you want to k*ll them?

'Cause that's what forcing
them out would do.

They wouldn't last a day.

That's their problem.

No, I'm not willing to do that.

[ZOE] That's what you think, isn't it?

I try to think of what's best, yes.

For you.

For everybody.

You told me...

He told me that LASHAWN went fast,

but slowly enough that he could

still say that he loved me.

But you told Violet something different.

Didn't he, Violet?

Did you want me to tell
you that it was awful?

That he suffered?

I was trying to spare you.

Did you k*ll LASHAWN?

Barrett, answer her.

Answer the question.

You know the freaks
were about to break in.

- I knew it.
- Oh my God.

- Did you know?
- No, of course not.

Are you kidding me?

How could you do that?

You don't understand,
he asked me to do it.

You expect us to believe that?

No, I don't.

But the irony is, it's true.

LASHAWN wouldn't do that.

He knew the freaks were coming,
and we were all gonna die.

You know what it was like,
those doors weren't holding...

Then you would've waited for
me to be there with him.

There was no time to wait for you.

You've been wanting to get him out

of the picture since day one.

I never meant to hurt you.

You were waiting for
something like this to happen.

I knew if you found out what I did,

I would lose you forever,
but I did it anyway.

You thought I wouldn't figure it out.

You thought you would
just get away with it

because you think you're so

much better than everyone else,

but you're not!

You are horrible.

If I didn't do it, we would all be dead.

You would be dead. I'm sorry.

You did this for me.

Go to hell.

You're a m*rder*r.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

I can't believe he did that.

I mean, I knew Barrett
was only half human but,

k*lling LASHAWN?

[VIOLET] God, it sounds so awful.

Sounds awful?

It is awful.

Yeah.

But?

You weren't there.

You're okay with this?

No.

- No, of course not, but...
- But?

But what?

You weren't there.

Freaks were at every door, every window.

They were going to get in.

LaShawn's leg was going
from bad to worse.

He was dying, Grover.

It was just a matter of time.

And you think

Barrett did the right thing?

I don't know.

You do.

I know that if he didn't do it,

I would be dead right now.

I don't know if I could
have done the same thing.

But I'm glad he did.

Violet.

He k*lled LASHAWN.

He k*lled our friend.

I know.

But he saved me.

[SLOW MUSIC]

We have to make difficult

choices in here to stay alive.

[VIOLET] I don't wanna
make those choices.

I hope you won't have to.

[SLOW MUSIC]

What if Barrett's right and they

just try to k*ll the rest of us?

Their family made the freaks.

Okay, look.

They're not my favorite people either,

but my gut tells me they're not

a part of some evil scheme to k*ll us.

And you saw how scared
they were out there.

How much they stuck together.

But that doesn't men they'd stick by us.

What I don't understand is,

why they waited this long
to call the helicopter.

Exactly, day one, hello?

Mom and dad come and get
us out of this nightmare.

[FELICITY] I get what your gut

- tells you. That doesn't make sense.
- Okay, I get it.

We've got a lot of questions,
but the most important one

is do we think they
can get us out of here?

My vote is, I sure as
hell wanna let them try.

We can't let them try if
they're stuck in that cell.

We can handle Diesel.

We're not gonna hurt him.

Of course.

But he's not our only problem.

Look, once we break them out,

we gotta be ready to move.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

It's not what it sounds like.

It's exactly what it sounds like.

I can explain.

You don't need to.

Did you know Barrett k*lled LASHAWN?

What?

What are you talking about?
LASHAWN d*ed of gangrene.

Barrett just told me that he k*lled him.

Like, you mean he actually did it?

Like he really k*lled him?

He just kept saying
that he had to do it.

That it was like the right thing to do.

That he did it for me.

For everybody.

And he wasn't even sorry.

He wanted LASHAWN out of the picture,

so he made it happen.

[SLOW PIANO MUSIC]

If I found out you had anything to do

with the clean up crews
or the expl*si*n,

or any of the people that I love dying,

I'll make you sorry you
ever crossed my path.

Understood?

You'll take revenge.

Got it.

Understood.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

- He was one of us.
- [BARRETT] Hey.

Huh? How could you do it?
How could you k*ll him?

This is not the way to resolve anything.

You just wanted Zoe to
yourself, you assh*le.

That is not why I did anything, okay?

I saved you, I saved Zoe.
You weren't there.

The freaks were coming in, his leg,

the gangrene was drawing them.

You're worried about
the Kellers killin' people,

but it's okay when you do it?

The Kellers.

Yeah, the Kellers.

Who's watching them?

Why does it matter?

Who is watching them?

Zoe.

You gullible neanderthal.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[SLOW MUSIC]

They're dangerous.

I hope you realize that.

You're dangerous.

They can take me to my brothers.

Yeah, they can totally
get us all out of here.

You should come with us.

I'm not goin' with y'all.

Hand over the beacon.

No chance.

My brother said to hand over the beacon.

[g*n COCKING]

We're getting out of here.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[RATTLING]

Don't use that thing unless you have to.

The sound will attract the freaks.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

Hey, you okay?

If anybody back there can

handle himself, it's Diesel.

I hope you're right.

So you had another g*n.

You think I'd give up my only weapons

just because they said so?

I think you're smarter than I realized.

You thought I wasn't smart?

You can come off a little bit spoiled.

Yeah.

That I totally am.

You did pretty great back there, too.

You know, getting us out of
the cage and everything.

Yeah, well,

I just wanna get on that helicopter.

Yeah.

I'm sure that's the only reason.

We have to leave before
that helicopter gets here.

So let's grab our stuff and
meet back in the lobby.

Just let me know how I can help.

What do you mean help? Get your stuff.

I can't wear a mask, remember?

We're not leaving you behind.

You know this helicopter
might not come at all.

It could just be leaving
before we need to.

There's a chance the beacon won't work.

It's completely untested and...

I'm not letting you guys
stay because of me.

I wouldn't.

Regardless of what happens
with the helicopter,

remaining here has no upside.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[HITTING] [GROWLING]

[YELLING]

sh*t.

You know, just once I wish
things would go our way.

[ANKA] How many are there?

We can take 'em.

If we made it to these doors,
that means the fence

around the field in the
courtyard isn't secure.

- You said this was the best way.
- [ZOE] It is.

Then what, we're just stuck here?

Not necessarily.

I can't handle this, we
need to get out of here.

[GROWLING]

We could get to the roof of the older

building and call it from there.

- Done.
- Okay, it's not that simple.

That part of the school's
probably filled with freaks.

Great.

[YELLING] [GROWLING]

Okay.

Hey, you can do this.

You can do this, I know you can.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Hey, hey.

Diesel, you're okay.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Diesel, you're okay.

You're messing with me.

Dammit.

[DIESEL] I gotta go get my stuff.

[ZOE] There are stairs to the
roof in that room at the end.

[OLLIE] Was the roof hatch locked?

It's our only option.

I don't like this.

Don't worry.

We just gotta get from here
to there and we'll be home.

We can do it.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[DROPPING]

Shh.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[HITTING]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

- [GROWLING]
- [YELLING]

[g*nsh*t]

[GROWLING]

Go!

Run, run, run, run.

Go, go, go.

[ZOE] Everybody, gas masks on!

[OLLIE] Up the stairs!

[GROWLING]

[GROWLING]

[OLLIE YELLING]

[HITTING]

[SCREAMING]

[SHUCKING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[GROWLING]

- [ZOE] Let's go, let's go!
- [ANKA] Come on!

[ZOE] Hurry! Hurry!

- [GROWLING]
- [HEAVY BREATHING]

Call it already!

[ZANE] Hurry!

[ANKA] It's not working!

[OLLIE] Give it to me.

Someone messed with it.

There are parts missing.

[ZANE] What?

- [GROWLING]
- [TENSE MUSIC]

[SADIE] We can't go back down.

[ZOE] Find another way off the roof.

[SADIE] Ollie, the air vent.

- [TENSE MUSIC]
- [HEAVY BREATHING]

- [HITTING]
- [GRUNTING]

[ANKA] Over here!

[GROWLING]

[ZANE] Go.

[ZOE] Go.

- [GROWLING]
- [GRUNTING]

[ZANE] Zoe, you gotta go.

- [HEAVY BREATHING]
- [TENSE MUSIC]

[FELICITY] Come on!

[ZANE] Go, I'll be right behind you.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[GROWLING]

[ZOE] Zane!

[ZANE] Keep going.

[GROWLING]

Oh God.

- [SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]
- [GROWLING]

- [GRUNTING]
- [HITTING]

[GROWLING]

[HITTING]

[GRUNTING]

Felicity.

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[ZOE] Come on.

[SCREAMING]

Any last words?

Good riddance.

How could you do that?

Do you ever think of
anybody besides yourself?

[HITTING]

Felicity is dead because of you.

Hand it over.

[ZOE] Where is the missing piece?

You have the wrong person.

Do it.

Stop.

Give me one good reason.

It wasn't him.

It was me.

I sabotaged the beacon.

I didn't know what would happen.

You guys, you were going to the

football field. It's fenced, it's safe.

Like anything anywhere is safe anymore.

[ANKA] The field was covered in freaks.

We had to go to the roof
through the older wing.

I couldn't let you call more blue suits.

We got trapped!

Felicity d*ed.

Do you get that?

[g*n COCKING]

Where are the parts?

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

This is what he showed the blue suits.

What's a retrieval target?

[OLLIE] What is that?

It's what he showed the blue suit dude

and it stopped him from sh**ting him.

So wait, this whole time
you were never in danger

of being sh*t, even if
that helicopter brought

a bunch of your blue suits?

I wasn't sure about that.

But it saved you once before?

You knew.

You knew no one on that helicopter

- was ever gonna hurt you.
- No.

- [OLLIE] Yes.
- I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt.

Where did you get it?

Collins.

Collins?

You've has this since Collins and

you didn't tell me about it?

Maybe he was afraid of
the helicopter coming

because he didn't wanna be retrieved.

He was protecting himself.

No, that wasn't it at all.

But you said your parents
worked at the plant, right?

Is your dad named Norman Jones?

So what?

His lab is where it all started.

- What do you mean where it started?
- The expl*si*n, everything.

Pretty convenient you were nowhere

near the plant when it all went down.

Yeah, and you live across the street.

- Right?
- That has nothing to do with anything.

Yeah, but you weren't there.
Because you would've been roasted.

Oh my God.

He wasn't even supposed
to be at school that day.

He faked being in detention.

- He said it was to be near me.
- It was.

[ANKA] Or to be safely
away from the expl*si*n.

No, I didn't.

I didn't know any of
this was gonna happen.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

Guys, come on.

Look, guys, you know me.

- What else are you hiding?
- Nothing.

I'm not hiding anything.

You need to give us the parts.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

This whole time you made such a big deal

about trusting us when you

were the one hiding something.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

I should've showed you the picture.

I flat out asked you when you and Diesel

were arguing and you
looked right at me and lied.

I know.

You deliberately hid it from me.

I'm sorry.

I just don't understand why.

I don't either.

It just...

I don't know, it seemed too big.

Like I needed to understand it myself

before I brought you into it.

You didn't think I could
help you understand?

I didn't know what to think.

You didn't trust me enough to share it.

Of course I trusted you.

Why would I believe that?

Because it's true.

I don't know why I decided
to keep it from you, I just,

it felt right at the moment.

It wasn't.

If I've learned anything in this place,

it's that you stay with
people you can trust

who trust you.

You are not that person.

Violet, come on, you can trust me.

I know I made a mistake, but,

we can still do this,
we can get out of here.

You don't get it.

There is no more we.

So you're not goin'?

Not with you.
