01x06 - If You Love Something

[bunniefuu]

MARIAH: So, I know
you've been in the dumps,

but I have the best weekend
planned. I'm talking tacos,

pizza, Korean barbecue,
if I can convince Dad.

And... wait for it... an
all-weekend anime marathon.

Hayden, you, uh... you there?

I'm sorry. My mind was elsewhere.

I'm-I'm sure whatever this Annie
Mae does is sure to be remarkable.

That's not... [SIGHS]

Are you still thinking of busting
Mildred out of that hospital?

[SCREAMING]

Hayden, where... where'd you go?

I just had a... vision
of Mildred in pain.

Being treated worse at this new facility

than anything in the video you leaked.

Look, I-I know it sounds crazy.

No, it-it doesn't sound crazy.

I mean, visions from the
universe are no joke.

Some people just have,
like, a hella open third eye.

So, if the universe says
Mildred's in trouble...

My world-famous Kaminski
Cakes are ready.

I know how much you
enjoyed 'em last time,

Hayden, so I doubled the batch.

I don't enjoy them.

I love them.

They make me feel like this is home,

that I'm wanted.

Well, you most definitely are, bud.

Okay, well, uh, get
'em while they're hot.

And, uh, when you're done,

I'll drop you off at the hotel
for your first check-in.

Are you sure about saving Mildred?

Yes.

Without her, I...

I don't know if I can be without her.

I'll help. Okay? Just promise
me my dad will never find out.

And I can't believe the , have to be

out of the hotel by the end of the week.

After all that fuss to keep them there,

- now it's just... bye.
- Yeah.

With nothing but a stipend

and some housing to help them adjust.

But they've left Claudette alone.

It must mean they don't know about her.

Or that we know about her.

Man.

No, I'm still kind of shook.

I mean, superpowers are real.

And Claudette wants us to
believe that it's just her.

Girl just wants to be left
alone to live her life.

She's currently nesting pretty
hard in my brother's apartment,

but, well, I can't be
mad at her for that.

[SIGHS] No.

Yo, you're not having
second thoughts, right?

About telling the government,

- telling your girlfriend?
- No.

I don't trust telling the government
anything at this point.

I mean, what would I say anyway?

A ' s housewife is Wolverine?

[LAUGHS] True.

You think she's the only one?

Between Shanice escaping,
our nap at Belle Isle,

and whatever went down with
Mildred, there's no way.

[SCOFFS]

Man, if the government had even
an inkling about half of this...

The , would be locked back up.

Yeah, I want to help them,
but I don't know how.

I'll tell you what we do. We ask them.

Trust me, I have learned the hard way

that you can't fix people's
lives the way you want to.

You got to find out what they need.

And the hard part is gonna be
getting them to talk to us.

Will you be returning to Miami then?

My mom wants me to,

but some producers reached out.

Maybe I just go straight to L.A.

I don't know. What about
you? Back to New York?

Perhaps. Although I'm not sure
what's left for me there now.

And Shanice isn't there?

Well, that is... There isn't...

- She and I aren't...
- I need your help.

Oh, young Hayden.

How are things at the, uh... the house?

At Shanice's husband's
and daughter's house?

What? It's not my fault you're
a messy, time-travelling doctor

- who lives for drama.
- It has been two weeks

since Noah and Mildred
were taken to Ypsi Med.

I want us to go get them out.

Look, I had a vision. Of Mildred.

And a chartreuse door.

She was screaming and being
injected with something.

- [SCREAMING]
- For some reason,

I keep seeing it again...

- [SCREAMING]
- ... and again and again.

[SCREAMING]

Look, we have to save her.
If we don't do it soon,

I think something terrible
is gonna happen to her.

Look, I have a plan,

but I need you both to do it.

- I need your powers, LaDonna.
- Oh, okay.

And your medical background, Dr. Andre.

What? Like, you leave for a few days,

and all of a sudden, you're Danny Ocean?

LaDonna, the boy misses his friends.

We understand you're concerned,

but what you're suggesting
is a bit extreme.

We're all about to be released.

Now, this sort of action could
very well jeopardize that.

Especially when Jharrel and Keisha
know about Claudette's powers.

You didn't know about that, did you?

Look, she was barely able to
cover up for the rest of us,

so, now is not the time for people
to be putting a spotlight on us.

Mm. Besides, you said yourself,

sometimes your visions
aren't always complete.

They don't repeat, either.

The time is running out.
I can't just sit by and do nothing.

I need her back.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [JAZZ PLAYING]

That's Ruth's boy, right?

Yep.

My sister spawned a bit of an odd duck,

if you catch my meaning.

And she's having to raise
the boy all on her own.

Mm.

How you doing, boy?

You're being mighty rude not
saying anything to your Uncle Otis.

Hello.

Look at your elders when
they're talking to you.

Now, if you're gonna keep
being disrespectful...

Then I'll discipline him.

Now, why don't you
both go get some drinks

so people can have an excuse

of why you're acting a fool right now.

Come on, baby.

Hayden.

Hey.

Hey.

Could you play a game of
chess with me, please?

Uh, I don't want to bother
you, but I really need this.

First, you're gonna sit down,

and you're gonna breathe.

Yeah.

Hey.

Yeah.

Now, despite how it looks,

I'm busy right now,

so I can't play with you.

So I need you to be the sharp young man

that I know you are and find
a solution for yourself.

Hey, hey.

Focus, Hayden.

You want to play chess.

But I can't play with you.

So how can you play without me?

I...

I could... I...

I could play against myself.

Oh, I knew you could do it.

Us Turners are amazing problem solvers.

Mwah.

I can't lose her for good.

I won't.

REV: Amen, brothers and
sisters. See you tomorrow.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Thank you, brother, I appreciate you.

Thank you so much for
these meetings, Reverend.

Before I found this group,

I was in a really dark place.

I thought God abandoned me.

Just remember, the Lord
doesn't leave us in darkness

without a little light.

A thing you know better than most.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Have you seen Andre?

I have not.

But I do want to pick your lawyer
brain, if you don't mind.

I'd like to find a way to
get the powers that be

to allow folks to stay at the hotel.

What? Everyone is finally getting out.

After all our pushing and protesting,

we're gonna be free.

Well, many people,

myself included, have nowhere to go.

This "freedom" might be a salve for you,

but for myself and others, it's poison.

Everyone is getting placed in housing

- and given a stipend.
- You think everybody getting out

is the solution because it
works for your situation.

You'll be staying with
family, I presume?

Mrs. Grover is like family to me.

And I'm pleased that you have her.

This is a turbulent time for us all.

And for some, being thrown
into housing they don't know

in a city they don't know,

in a world they don't
know is terrifying.

We've created a community here.

I'm sorry you can't see that.

They couldn't kick you out
if the hotel was a church.

Would it really work?

It's not a given,

but most still respect
the concept of sanctuary

that churches offer.

If the government tried to kick us out,

they'd be drowning in lawsuits

from human rights groups worldwide.

We just have to get the word out.

Well... let's create ourselves
a sanctuary, then.

Technically, you are the reason
both of them are at Ypsi Med.

Not on purpose, of course,
but, you know, accident or not,

you do have to kind of take
responsibility for that.

Well, as far a responsibility
is concerned,

your video made us targets for
all sorts of ne'er-do-wells,

like that bar patron who
assaulted Claudette.

Touché.

It's just, I've never seen Hayden
like that before, you know?

He's usually all al-aloof and stuff.

But back there he looked really
ready to, like, square up.

- Indeed.
- So what do we do, then?

'Cause he is really stubborn

and is not gonna let this go.

Trust him, I suppose.

The hotel is abuzz with
everyone getting out,

so our keepers aren't
watching us as usual.

And while lacking in context,

his visions come to pass
with unerring accuracy.

HAYDEN: Great!

- Now let's get on with it.
- Stop doing that.

Oh, my God, you're gonna
give me so many stress lines.

- You said you had a plan.
- I do.

We want to get Mildred
and Noah out of Ypsi Med,

hide them in here till
things quiet down.

First step:

reconnaissance.

Starting with one chartreuse door.

ANDRE: The technological
advances here are greater

than even I'd imagined.

- [SHUTTER CLICKS]
- Okay.

I'm glad you're enjoying everything.

Look, I know it's taken a long
time to get you into a hospital.

And I cannot apologize enough for that.

But we're here now, and while
you're doing your shadowing,

I'm gonna try and get some info
on Mildred and Noah for you.

It is appreciated.

It's been so long since we last
heard from either of them,

I'd begun to think our pleas
had fallen on deaf ears.

[CHUCKLES]

- Name?
- Jharrel Mateo.

I have a shadowing appointment

- for my friend right here.
- Uh-huh.

I'll let the doctor know he's here.

Oh, I had one more thing.

Could you get me the room info

so that I can visit Mildred
Bell and Noah Harris?

They're from the Bois Blanc hotel.

The , are in a different wing

and don't have visiting hours.

A different wing?

Okay, but, uh, I'm
not a regular visitor.

I'm a caseworker. The , ?

Like I said, there are
no visiting hours.

Haven't been since they
took over the East Wing.

Go ahead and fill this
out, and here's a pass

for you and your friend.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Miguel?

[LOCK BUZZES]

- Were you able to get everything?
- Hayden, my boy,

my lad, my homie,

I got everything and then some, okay?

First, we have nurse scrubs.

A size medium for one Dr. Andre.

Then we have patient
scrubs for you. [CHUCKLES]

And then, there it is.

Thumb drives, requested by LaDonna.

Why are thumb drives shaped like food?

No? Okay, well, then we
have three two-way radios

and some earpieces.

And...

It's labradorite.

A gemstone well respected for its
ability to banish fear and anxiety.

It can also boost psychic
abilities. Try it on. Come on.

[CHUCKLES]

Why'd you get it?

'Cause I want to make sure
you make it out in one piece.

And we have an anime
marathon to do still, so...

Oh, um, my, um...

Shanice doesn't know anything
about this, does she?

- No.
- Okay, good.

Do-do you want her to?

No, not at all. I mean,
she'd probably freak out

that this is really dangerous.

I know I'm just the getaway
driver... and I'm all in...

but, I mean, I only have
my learner's permit.

Hayden, this is all totally
necessary. Right?

We have to get them out.

I know what they do in places like that.

The guards here assaulted Noah.

The government stole him
away on my birthday.

They took Mildred, the closest
person to me, away.

Refused to let me know anything
about how she's doing.

And they destroyed the
chess set she gave me.

The set she made for me.

The only thing I had left of her.

So, yes, this has to happen
because I need Mildred,

and I'm gonna bring her back.

RUTH: Hayden, Hayden.

I'm so sorry.

[GROANS] It was a long
day visiting factories,

but I finally found a distributor.

Your mom's baked goods

are gonna be sold all
through the Midwest.

[SIGHS]

I left a note to your Aunt Marietta

explaining that you are
sensitive to certain textures.

She should have known better
than to make you noodles.

- It's fine.
- No, it's not.

Sweetie, why didn't you
say anything to her?

I didn't want to.

Are you mad?

Never.

I love how careful you
are with your words,

but you need to advocate for yourself.

Watch carefully, crumb cake.

I'm gonna show you something.

[CHUCKLES]

RUTH: Solving a problem
is a lot like baking.

We start with what we want,

then look at what tools and ingredients

we have at our disposal.

We put those together, and...

... we get the thing we wanted.

[CHUCKLES]

Mmm...

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Come here, come here.
There you go, baby.

Oh, how did the reconnaissance go?

You two won't believe
the things I've seen.

In that device is a video
of Miguel... yes,

our doctor here at the Bois Blanc...

taking a , through
that chartreuse door.

And I caught him on video
as he put in the code

to open the door.

No way. You're, like,
totally the GOAT right now.

What the hell?

I taught you better than this.

Hayden, uh...

Hayden, I'm sorry to have
jeopardized the mission.

We need to get behind that door.

Which means we need the code.

Wait, you saw him.
You saw him punch it in.

Yes, but I don't remember.

But Shanice can see your
memory; she can see it.

I don't think that's
a good... [STAMMERS]

Isn't there any other way?

What the doctor's trying to say
is that something happened

between them to make
things capital-A awkward.

Getting Mildred and
Noah out of that place

has to be more important than
whatever discomfort you have.

Please.

Even ordered you a drink.

I just wanted to try and

One of more honest communication.

Really?

Well, if we're being honest, uh...

there are a group of people at the hotel

who have created a church here.

They don't want to leave.

Why would anyone want
to stay at the hotel

after all that time wanting out?

Are...

are you... scared?

What are you getting at?

I know about the powers.

I saw Claudette heal
herself in this bar, and...

she admitted it to Jharrel.

What exactly did she say?

That it has nothing
to do with the , ,

and she was a secret superhero

in the ' s, and, I quote,
"Wonder Woman was Black first."

[LAUGHS]

You must have been
pretty tipsy that night.

I don't know how you let Claudette
yank your chain like that...

Shanice, I know what I saw.

You know I saw it, since it
happened at Mrs. Grover's, too.

Jharrel and I think
there are more of you

that have some kind of... powers.

But we can't confirm
that unless you open up.

And if you don't open up,
we can't protect you.

We'll be fine.

I've tussled with the government before.

Yeah, in .

ANDRE: Shanice.

Andre. Hi.

I thought you were avoiding me.

I've... just been busy.

Oh.

I do have something I
need to talk to you about.

[EXHALES]

Hayden, LaDonna and myself
are planning on rescuing

Mildred and Noah from Ypsi Med.

Andre, no.

What will they do to
you if you get caught?

This is the time for us
to keep our heads down.

They already know about Claudette.

And Keisha asked me directly
if more of us have powers.

She's not gonna let it go
until she finds something.

Well, the situation isn't ideal,

but Hayden had a vision of Mildred

being held and injected with something

in a separate wing of Ypsi Med.

It's likely Noah's there as well.

Right now...

our whole plan rests on you
recovering a code from my memory.

Can you help us?

[SIGHS]

Knowing how we've been treated here,

I wouldn't be surprised if
some places are even worse.

[EXHALES]

Let's do this.

Shanice was a dead end.
Scratch that, she was a brick wall.

Yeah, Andre really wasn't
in a talkative mood, either.

[SIGHS] Look, clearly, if
we want them to open up,

we got to do something to prove
to them that we can help.

You know, actions speak
louder than words.

Hey, what about, uh, Mildred and Noah?

If we got info on them, Hayden
might be open to talking to us.

And frankly, I want to know
what's happening with them, too.

Well, I got nothing.

Okay, Ypsi Med is apparently a fortress,

with the , in some inaccessible wing

and absolutely no visiting hours.

Well, I could go to Jessica,

see if she can give me any info.

You're gonna go to Ypsi Med?
You think that'll work?

You said actions speak

If we want them to trust us,

we'll have to do something bold.

Where are you taking him?

LADONNA'S VOICE: Um, he's...

[DEEPER]: one of them.

Okay.

[LOCK BUZZES]

This is no hospital.

There aren't even any cameras.

You said cameras are ubiquitous.

Well, yeah, if you're not trying to

No cameras means no evidence.

Okay, I'm gonna go find Miguel's office.

Hayden, please. I need
you to stay with me now.

I was in a place... like Ypsi Med.

I was put there by relatives
after my mom d*ed.

She was only supposed to be gone a week.

Every night I went to sleep there...

I heard the screams of others.

I tried not to scream.

I was already in pain... from the tests.

The endless tests.

Hayden.

Hayden, where are we?

[PANTS]

- Ypsi Med.
- Indeed.

You're not in the sanitorium.

The only reason I'm not still there...

is because the green zap saved me.

I won't argue with you.
This place is repugnant.

And that is why we

Yes, Mildred and Noah.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

REV: A thank-you to Sister Shanice

for livestreaming our
church to the world.

Since we've arrived here,
we have had cause to worship.

Facing trials put forth by hateful men

and doubting spirits, we have
conquered more than most.

Bound by our unique circumstances,

we have all learned to embrace the
illustrious spirit of our fellows.

So I say to you all,
let unity be our doctrine

and love our discipline.

[CONGREGATION ASSENTING]

But I leave you with one final message,

both to those , beyond these walls

and to the world at large.

We, the , , have been chosen by God.

[CONGREGATION ASSENTING]

Ferried by his divine splendor
across the seas of time...

- I swear.
- ... for a cause bigger than all of us.

Let this hotel be a refuge...
nay, a home... for all ,

that wish to be united with
their brothers and sisters.

And let it be known that I
will provide for every ,

that comes to me.

The government has no latitude

to expel you from this sanctuary.

We have not just God
but the law on our side.

While those who seek
to harm and divide us

shall be met with the
full force of the strength

that God Almighty has imparted onto us.

[APPLAUSE]

Amen.

JHARREL: So, I haven't
been to church in a while,

but that seemed kind of ominous.

Well, Rev has a flair for the dramatics.

Where's Keisha?

Well, believe it or not,
she's on her way to Ypsi Med

to check on Mildred and Noah.

LOGAN: All right, you got her?

Logan? Mariah?

- What is going on?
- It's a long story.

Andre, did you know Mariah
was involved in this?

- How could you?
- Don't get mad at him.

Okay? All of this was my idea.

Now, say whatever you have to say,

but please let us get Mildred inside.

Where's Noah?

There was no time.

Okay, well, is Mildred gonna be okay?

HAYDEN: I hope so.

Me, too. But, Hayden, how dare
you endanger Mariah like this?

Did you honestly think through
what could have happened?

She could have gotten
arrested, or worse.

Okay, that-that's enough.

We all know what could have
happened, but it didn't.

Because Mariah, at the
first sight of trouble,

called me, like I raised her to do.

And don't worry, Mariah's
gonna be very grounded

once I have a long chat with her.

Oh, a chat? Well, how stern.

Shanice, stop it. You do not get a say

in how I raise or discipline Mariah.

Logan, it was dangerous.

Hayden is from the s.

He doesn't know anything
about this world...

they could have gotten hurt.

You know, I've gotten
to know a courteous...

and kind...

and obviously very loyal young man.

And while he's also very grounded,

I'm proud to know

that Mariah has a friend who's
willing to do the right thing

for those he cares about.

Now, go check on her.
I'll be waiting in the car.

I had a blast getting to be
an almost-getaway driver.

I'm glad you had fun while I suffered.

No, I-I'm so sorry. I...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you.

It was just really hard in there.

Do you... want to talk about it?

Not now.

Maybe never.

Anyways, thank you.

Thanks for taking care of Hayden.

[CHUCKLES]: Oh, I was... I was...
I wasn't really much of a help.

I mean, I mean, Hayden is
the absolute badass here.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
That's what I always tell him.

He is... more than capable of
standing on his own. Right?

SHANICE: Nice show you put on earlier.

I hope it served its purpose
to provide a sanctuary.

But it wasn't for show.

I mean what I say.

I'd rather break my back
than abandon my people.

I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

You're not.

We were just finishing up.

How can we help, Mr. Greene?

I've been meaning to speak
with you since your sermon.

Seeing as you are the man to know,

I figured we could talk about
how we could best aid each other.

- I'm all ears.
- Wonderful.

Wonderful. Please.

Ms. Murray.

KEISHA: Do you know how
many things I've done

that could blow back on me,
personally and professionally,

for trying to cover for you?

What were you thinking,
breaking into Ypsi Med?

You could have been caught.

We deserve an explanation right now.

And we need to come up with a
game plan to keep you all safe.

Keep the government from
finding out about your powers.

They already know.

They had specialized cells
used alongside other tactics

to impede whatever powers someone had.

Mildred had a hood pressed over her face

so she couldn't use hers.

No, that can't be right.
Jessica hasn't said anything,

- and she works there.
- Are you feeling okay?

No, we have to be missing something.

Now, the government appears
to have some sort of plan

beyond freeing us.

LADONNA: You guys are on the inside.

You can help us.

So let's all set our minds
to solving this puzzle.

Together.

OTIS: Glare all you want.

While you're staying under my roof,

I'm gonna learn you
some real discipline.

RUTH: Don't mind your uncle.

I'll be back faster than
one of your chess games.

But-but I don't want
you to leave at all.

- I-I need you.
- I'm not leaving forever,

only for a week.

Even if I was,

I'm not worried about you at all.
Do you want to know why?

- Why?
- Because you have all the tools

to be on your own and succeed.

[WHISPERS] Okay.

[LAUGHS]

[CLOSING DOOR ECHOES]

Should have figured you'd catch me.

- Don't try to stop me. I...
- I wasn't thinking of it.

You can't follow me, either.

- I have to do this on my own.
- I know.

That's why I brought you this.

How did you know?

Look, when I started this,

I just wanted to bring you back to me.

I didn't think I could stand on my own.

I missed how you made me feel safe.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

So you planned that whole thing.

I kind of did, huh?

Look, if I try to keep you here,

it'd be for my needs, not yours.

So please.

Will you be okay?

I have all the tools I need to
be on my own and succeed.

Can you tell me if you see it?

Do I save her?

MILDRED [DISTORTED]:
It's this way. Let's go.

I...

I-I don't know.

I can't see anything.

Just be careful.

I will.
